Every time you file your income taxes you provide your SS on the 1040 form. My sweetheart thinks I am silly because I do not do my bill paying, banking, or IRS filing on line. Then I see something like this and think, “Yah, silly? it’s my money and I will care for it as I please.” Actually, I say that too, and just get that you are silly look. Unfortunately, I just had an bad experience with BB&T and was thinking of moving all my BB&T business to my Suntrust account. Now what??? I needed to pay some major bills and hand carried an $8,000 Suntrust bank check to my BB&T account. I was packed and ready to drive out of town to deal with a serious emergency. BB&T only gave me $5,000, and put the other $3,000 on 7 working day hold. My property tax check bounced, and now I have to struggle to recover $500 in late fees. BB&T’s response is basically “tough shxx.” Tax people want full payment before they will consider my case. My lawyer gave me a citation that indicates that BB&T cannot make a hold like they did??? Now what???
Time to find a trusty, locally run, credit union. Listen to Clark Howard. He’s onto alot of this crap and is NOT part of the MSM or big business mindset.
Like (R)s are only about 80% as bad as (D)s.
Credit unions are maybe only 80% as clean as big banks.
In Florida here, its SACFCU. Only 4 offices.
A Bank check is supposed to be same as a cashier’s.
