Mr. Ukrop I want my $5.00 back!!
I'm a little peeved at First Market Bank.
I had some money in a checking account with First Market. I mainly just used it to throw extra money in for random / impulse buys. Then I got married and my random/impulse buys decreased and decreased even more over the years. and quite honestly I forgot about it. BUT HEY "MY MONEY IS SAFE IN A BANK"... Wrong...
I just happened to open a statement -- and realized that I have been slapped with a $5.00 fee -- they call a Dormant Fee.
WTF!!!
I'm sure all banks are doing this. What's alarming is
1. The $5.00 dormant fee is a monthly charge until the owner makes a deposit or withdrawal from the bank. -- So you could lose up to $60 a year if you don't open your bank statements.
2. How many people has this affected?? I'm thinking Elderly? Disabled? Trusts?
Mr. Ukrop I may have to eat some fruit off of the salad bar next time before paying.... Ridiculous!!

You are going to call and complain about this.... RIGHT? You simply have to.
I've had 2 (or was it 3?) pretty major issues with my *prior* bank before deciding to step away and try someone else (I chose a credit union), but I definitely exercised as much customer service personnel calls as one probably could imagine. It took awhile but I got my issues resolved; although after serious issue 2 (or 3... I really don't remember now) I told them that I'd pretty much have to be a stickler for punishment to choose to stay with them.
I recall my grandparents getting hit with some sort of fee like that with a trust fund they used to oversee, but they never complained or anything. I commented that they should, but they didn't think so...
Better yet, have $1 deposited automatically from another account each month.
