Does anyone know... with a Bank of America (checking or savings) account which has a monthly fee, if the account becomes overdrawn for an extended period, does the bank still charge the monthly fee and keep adding that to the overdrawn balance too?

Are there any other fees might get added to an account that was overdrawn and which has had no further activity since, other than the overdraft fees?

Fucking great.

When I reported the fraudulent credit card transaction to my bank last week, they closed down that account/card number and said they'd be sending me a new card. In order to get the new card via "rush delivery" in 1-3 days, I would have had to pay a $16 fee. (That's more than the fraudulent charge was for!) I opted for regular delivery (7-10 business days) and am still waiting for the new card to arrive. In the mean time, I haven't been able to use it. (GRRR)

However, this month's statement for the new card has been posted to my online account already. Apparently, due to the closing of the old card number, last month's automatic payment did not go through. So last month's balance has been brought forward to this month, with *interest* added (ARGHHH!@). The interest amount is more than the fraudulent charge was for! (GRRRRRR!!!!) Not only that, but the new statement does not mention automatic payment at all, so it seems I will have to get it set up again. (GRRRRR....)

The fraudulent charge posed as being pet-store-related ("GOODFORYOURPET"). As I have made a couple purchases from online pet stores in the last year, at first I suspected that one of those sites might have been hacked or somehow related to the fraudulent charge. However, one of those orders did not involve the credit card in question, and the other one was done through Amazon Marketplace - I'm fairly sure Amazon does not pass credit card info on to the retailers.
That leaves just one other pet-related store that I've ordered from, but it was almost exactly a year ago, and I had ordered from them many times before - I ordered vegan dog kibble for Yoda from them, before I found local stores that had it.

So.... either that site may have been hacked, or Amazon was (both of which seem unlikely), or it's just coincidence that the fraudulent charge posed as pet-related.

I keep wishing I had my camera for various things. Like taking photos of certain documents before I send them away, so that I have a record of them. I have the webcam, but the quality of the photos it can take isn't very good.

I did use the webcam yesterday to record a few short vids of the yellow meditation/echo room, because the wind was blowing the shear curtains out from the windows so nicely.... I was able to stretch the cam's cord from this room into the other one via the HVAC vents... but then the first vid was over 6 MBs, and in the 2nd vid I intended to record some echoey voice sounds too, but the microphone turned out to not be working :(

So maybe I'll get enthusiastic about that again and try on another day. Still haven't had time to figure out how to get my vids into a format Youtube accepts; that would probably be better than posting them on my site in wmv format.

If the bank is going to deny one of my checks because they suspect it is fraudulent, why don't they just call me and ask?? Instead of just denying it, and letting me find out in my next statement, or when the other party contacts me about it? That's the 2nd time this has happened.

Oh, they emptied my recycling bin today!!!!! It's so wonderful!!!!

The electrician was supposed to call me back today with the estimate. But he didn't.
