UIGEA Weekly action Item idea

[DeadMoneyDad]

Today I had a wild hair idea that I tested out.

I withdrew $400.00 from the ATM at the bank.

I walked inside and asked to see the branch manager, who knows me well. She wasn't there.

I asked the acting BM if I could deposit these poker winnings to my account. She of course said sure and started filling out a deposit slip.

I said "Hold on a minute, can you check my accout balance?"

She of course said, " Of course Mr. D$D"

I asked, "If I wanted to withdraw the balance in cash, if you had it, to go play poker would you give it to me?"

She paused a little supisiously but said, "well of course you can do what ever you want with your money."

So I asked, "then why do you block my debit card when I want to do the same thing without comming into the bank?!?"

I suggested that I wanted a refund of the $20.00 in fees that I had paid when I made a deposit to FT since they forced me to use a third party midlle man who charges %5 for the service.

I did add that if the bank went along with the reg that I would keep track of the extra fees I was charged and would be looking for a refund.

I did this at three banks in the local area.

I suggest some of you do the same, it might be easier than buying a bank."
