Well ****...

I took all the extra out this last two weeks in cash. We still each have a bit left in our wallets and we get paid tomorrow. I thought I had accounted for everything. But I just checked the bank and our Blockbuster Online came out two days earlier than last month (I checked the months before and last month must have been on a weekend because it usually comes out on the 25th or 26th). Well we have plenty sitting in our wallets to cover it, but because it isn't in the BANK, we are getting snuffed with a $25 fee for the overdraft. UGH! It will get paid tomorrow... but crap!

Since Blockbuster charged you early you should be able to make a case they owe you the money. I'd talk to BB first and see what customer service they are willing to offer.

That truly sucks. And while I know it's our responsibility to keep money in our accts, a call to blockbuster with your sad story might at least yield a free month, which would cover the fee, right? Or maybe it's a sign you are supposed to cancel your blockbuster acct.

Yep call them and tell them you have to cancel your account becuase you can thave it jump around like that.
20 bucks says they refund your money for this month and keep it to one date

Can't call them. It wasn't their mistake. Last time it came out on a Friday, and then didn't come out of the bank until Monday. That is totally bank... makes perfect sense. This time it came out on Wed and of course, comes out the next banking day... today. Makes sense?

We are going to have to eat it I am afraid. But I am learning slowly what it is to have a cash account.

Blockbuster and Cable Internet are the only things we have kept. We don't have cable tv, just the DVD and the tv set. So canceling Blockbuster would be a huge blow.

BTW... I meant dam* in the OP. lol... I don't know why dam* is blocked. It makes it seem like I used a MUCH worse word. lol!
