i need a better bank
I got $1115.30 in tax refund money this year, but instead of waiting for the check, or getting a tax anticipation loan, i gave the check to my moms, and she gave me the money. She gave me a check from her account and i went directly to my bank (first national bank of texas) and deposited it. They told me there would be a small hold on the money. So i told the lady to cash $200 of it and deposit the rest. Here it is, 6 days later, and my money still isn't there. I talked to my mom the other day, and the check cleared her bank on the 22nd, now the 25th and still no money. I have a flat tire on my car right now, so i can't take that to work. I could take my girls car, but its 40 miles TO work (not to mention coming home) and she has no gas in it at all. And whats worse is i have 3 dollars in my wallet, and 4 kools left. I have all kinds of money coming like my paycheck in 4 days ($2250) and this income check ($1115.30) and i can't touch a ------- penny. No food in the house, flat tire, running out of smokes, and now i have to call into work cuz i can't even ------- make it there. So im tired of getting fucked by my bank. I need something different, and quick. So if you are happy with your bank, let me know. I need a debit card at least, and if they have that new thing where you use your debit card and they take the change and put it in your savings that would be awesome. And no fees for going below $00.00 in your account. My bank is $33 per charge. I was already considering wamu, but the nearest one is like 45 miles away so thats a no go. Help me out here guys.

I think you need to take a look at your spending habits to figure out why you can't seem to live on the budget you have. You're living paycheck to paycheck and it seems like you make a decent amount of money so there should be no reason. Does your GF help out? Do you live together? Where is her cash?
My bank ***** people like you over. If you go negative it's going to cost you more arms and legs than you have. I learned that if I keep money in my account, they don't ---- me.

Re: i need a better bank
Yeah i know, i have 2 credit cards that are way way over due, but only owe like 1500 total to them. My girl lives with me, but she is leaving in like a week to go to her moms in alabama for almost a month, and there is no point looking for a job right now. I do make pretty decent money, about $25,000 a year before taxes. I live with my dad, and really don't have many bills so i know my spending habits are pretty bad. I need to get my ---- in order quick. But as to the loan, they suck. I would rather have my mom give it to me for free than pay someone to do the same thing.
