I'd like to contest these charges. This happend once before long ago and I ended up acueing over $130 in fee's before I was ever notified over a 3 dallor mistake in my checkbook. Luckily I happened to log in and caught it earlier this time. Seems I made a mistake and used my debit/master card instead of my very similar looking visa credit card. I was shocked when I seen this and realized my mistake. these charges are totally insane especially for “totally free” accounts were we don’t even get paid interest on our balances! I do all my banking threw you. I am a lifetime customer as in I tend stick with 1 bank. If you notice other then when I got new account numbers when I had lost my check book that I’ve had an account with you for many years. Actually Since I was 18 and I’m now 25! That’s over 7 years I’ve been a customer. I came over from having bank one account when they started slapping on big fees for with drawling more then 3 times a week. I moved over to 5/3 use you for all my banking needs. I am currently unemployed and barely scraping by now I find I have to pay you these huge charges instead of putting food on my table. I would greatly appreciate these charges to be dropped or reduced or I may find myself looking for another bank.

hell i've allways had my money direct deposited in thier bank and I spend if from there. Never geting 1 penny of interest....

Hey, who cares about them? If they screwed you over and you decided not to stick around and continue getting screwed over, then that's that. .

Tough luck for them, but then again, I'm not to sure they'll miss one customer . Unless......yes, dude, just rally up a few dudes, go down to the mall, rally up some more dudes and run down the street screaming insults and nasty things at the bank's executives. Be sure to have made signs and banners that you will carry on sticks and wave around like giant swats.
I think the technical word for it is a "strike"

Heh, I always thought the name of that bank was a little goofy anyway. Fifth/Third?!?
