Beat: Being retarded can get expensive...
I sent my landlord and the power company checks from my old bank account with no money in it because my checkbooks look identical and I was high. A few days later I realized my mistake. Problem is, my landlord charges late fees and the power company couldn't provide any way to stop payment on my check. So I figured my only choice was to go make a wire transfer from my new bank to my old one. I sent it at the cost of $25, then immediately after the guy at the bank processed it I realized the receiving bank might charge me fees as well, but the guy doing the wire told me receiving banks usually don't charge fees and that I was probably fine. Well I called my old bank to be sure when I got home and sure enough they're also going to charge me $25 for it, which means I didn't send enough money to cover everything. Rush back to the new bank and they tell me they can't cancel the wire they just sent or adjust the amount, so I had to send a whole new one for an extra $50.
All in all, I'm looking at $100 in fees for what should be one simple transfer. *Sigh* Remind me to close my old account and burn my checkbook...

Random fact of the day: In the UK there has been a revolt regarding excessive bank fees, you can fill out a standard form and post it to your bank and they'll refund up to 6 years worth of charges [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: Beat: Being retarded can get expensive...
why can't you just go to one bank withdraw cash and go to the other and deposit?

Re: Beat: Being retarded can get expensive...
Ideally I would pay over the phone but as you know Nevada power charges like $5 per use.
LOL @ suggesting going to a store and waiting in line for 10 minutes is easier than dropping a check in the mail.
