Sick of being done in the arse by outrageous bank fees? Want some of that money back?

[sugilite:Me]

Rang bank last week to complain about a unauthorised payment - the payment had put that account into OD. The bank then charged me $15 for it going into OD. When I called them and made a fuss to talk to a manager they then charged me another $15 for the phone call...

Already signed up...

Yep, got a few stories like that myself, though I'm not going to share them here, as every pious dick head on kb will come and tell me how I shoulda, coulda avoided that happening

Who the hell overdraws their account? What, are you living like one single pay away from bankruptcy?

Well, according to the article 1 million NZers accidently get overdrawn etc.

It seems to mention they will take 25% of the compensation plus other costs?
Can somebody clear that up for moi?

If you are an ASB customer with a mortgage your account is in 'overdraft' permanently by however many hundreds of thousands your house cost...

From what I have read there, it looks like they want to be reimbursed for legal costs plus get a 25% cut of the compensation amount. Nothing more.

I wonder what the legal costs are, don't want to take the spa pool option off the mansion.

I fuck my bank manager. So I won't be pressing charges.

Releasing them is way more fun.

Given that lawyers have often been compared to a well known aggressive and predatory finned marine creature, legal costs would probably be huge.

The bank I use (USBank) charges $40 per transaction if you go into overdraft if you have no OD protection set up.
The moral of the story is keep an eye on your spending and don't go into OD.

I used to have an overdraft problem all the time. I took away all direct debits and set up automatic payments instead. No more problem. Took hours but haven’t gone into OD since.

That's why they want as many people as possible to get on board, I would say that they would take a percentage of the payout......

If they win, say the bllion dollars, the lawyers get $250,000,000!!!? Wow, no wonder they're all over it. Still banks need to be more reasonable with their charges. Like Lawyers.....

Shit, am I too late to add a witty sent from...?
