I think there's simply too much legislation all together. <BR/><BR/>The government (which really, is all of us) doesn't have enough people who are working on intelligent solutions to big problems... the people we have elected into office would rather create laws that pass the burden on to the corporations, who in turn pass the burden on to the employee and consumer. It seems the days are closing on a time when we could shake hands and agree to do business together.<BR/><BR/>It's a shame really.<BR/><BR/>I work in the field of Identity Theft, and if you want to see what the laws are doing to corporations (mostly small to medium sized businesses), <A HREF="http://www.identitytheftsecrets.com/what-you-must-know.html" REL="nofollow">take 2 minutes and 32 seconds to watch this video</A>.

If I wer...There is nothing to be embarrassed about. If I were you, I would teach the bank a lesson and close your account completely. Who cares if the local employees are friendly to you? They only work for the giant corporation. It's no skin off their noses if you pull out (even if it is, they might secretly understand). If more people do that, someone up the line might learn a lesson. It's a lesson that may not mean anything to them, but it will show them you still have a little say-so over them. No corporation can survive without the people they cheat every day. I wouldn't let it rest. The great thing is that it is a scam that most bank customers will only fall for one time. That source of revenue will soon be smaller than the bank CEOs and their republican friends in congress (and a few democratic friends, I'm sure) seem to think it will be.<BR/><BR/>I didn't really understand your bill-paying methodology, even after you explained it. That's because I am not a financial type of person. It's like algebra to me, and my brain sort of glazes over when I encounter such details. Does your husband's check come shortly after all the bills are due every month? Whatever the case, your method doesn't sound unethical. On the other hand, the bank's new law certainly sounds highly unethical. I would even write your story, anonymously and publish it in a few newspapers (maybe even pass it out as flyers).<BR/><BR/>I'm glad you're warning everyone; however, I've never been in your position as far as banks go. I didn't even have a "real" bank account until I was 33 because I never had enough money to bother with one. Also, unlike you, I don't have four kids to raise. Finally, have a good savings account, but I still avoid debt like it is the plague -- to the point of going without practically everything on a daily basis (I learned never to imitate my dad's lifestyle). I'm not much of a materialist anyway. This isn't to say that you incur unnecessary debt. I doubt that is the case. I'm just explaining why I don't. ;-)<BR/><BR/>This is a very well written entry.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28836480.post-1156278678555294972006-08-22T13:31:00.000-07:002006-08-22T13:31:00.000-07:00I've certainly never heard of Check 21. Thank you ...I've certainly never heard of Check 21. Thank you for informing me. <BR/><BR/>All the laws are built to protect companies. We're talking of millions if not billions of dollars in added revenue, and at the expense of good, honest people. This isn't a free market--where consumers have free and full information--it's corporate welfare.Nelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01168659716980028654noreply@blogger.com
