Fingers crossed for you, Pix and ND.

And Strix, I hope your pain eases up.

That's great! BoA has one thing going for them, ATM's everywhere. That's about it. With better cash management, that need goes out the window, and BoA is no longer a good idea. So steering away from them is a great thing! I really am very happy for you two! The mortgage consolidation loan (hopefully) should be a cheaper interest rate, which will help with cash flow so much!

Yes, I would love to hear about people who went through it successfully. How did she cope with the loss of all acquired disease resistance?

JZ's Aunt Judy also successfully treated her cancer with the self donation of bone marrow.

My credit union has something better - free use of anybody's ATMs. They eat the fees.

I have been meaning to get the hell away from BoA, despite my business being a tenant a couple floors above them. The business credit union has ATM agreement with 7-11 which totally works for us. My personal stuff is at Chase, which also evil. I have been meaning to do this for too long. Time to take action.

I went to change Credit unions to one that was closer and they were full of fees. I could get a free checking/savings if I had direct deposit (which I do), but they charged for use of out of network ATMs plus whatever the ATM fees were. Or I could be an "online" customer and not get hit with those, but get a $2 charge per teller visit.

Unless I wanted to keep $5000 in my checking account at all times, then there would be no fees, except the ATM fees.

And there was some other weird fee.

I told them, thanks but no thanks. My current Credit union has free checking if you: check your balance online 1 x a month, read the email w/the link to your statement, have direct deposit, and make 5 online transactions per month (including automatic payments), plus they reimburse out of network fees up to $20/month AND pay you interest on your checking balance.

The guy seemed shocked I wasn't going with their Credit union and was like "We have mobile banking!" cool, my credit union does too.

And the fridge here had to be replaced. The new one was delivered Thursday and becuase it was so cold I was told to wait until tonight to plug it in. Which I did. And it proceeded to make a loud clicking/buzzing sound. I read the manual and it said that might happen for about 5 minutes. It lasted longer than 5 minutes and it's obnoxious. Tomorrow I'm going to turn it back on and run some errands and see if it's still making the noise and hopefully I can get one replaced, but I don't really want to be without a fridge for too long.

All credit unions are not created equal, certainly, but my credit union is made of gold and poos puppies. I highly suggest anyone unhappy with their Big Bank check out the credit unions in their area/field.

---

I have to say (and nothing against anyone here) I find the chorus of credit union! credit union! kind of off-putting. Again, nothing to do with Zen or David or anyone. Just the fact that pretty much no conversation about banks doesn't end up there sparks my contrariness.

Mine does that too, for 4 or 5 visits per month. Which is fine for how little I visit ATM's.
