I was just looking at my credit card statement and was very horrified to figure that I had somehow incurred 114 dollars worth of fines and random fees…
Alright, the first two 30 odd dollars were from my bank because I paid my credit card with the wrong checking account and so I incurred an overdraft fee and a returned payment fee. I expect, because I went out and spent money today — that I’m going to be incurring a overdraft fee of 40 dollars very soon. So that’s going to be 154 dollars of — pure thrown away money.
That’s fine…that was just my stupidity. Stupidity that happened for the second fucking time. I swear, if I do this to myself again…I’m just going to fucking shoot myself in the face.
What really gets my goat is that I’ve also incurred mysterious charges from the following companies without every receiving services or even a notice that “hi, we’re going to be charging you on so and so trumped up charges”. AND my credit card company refuses to let me dispute the charge because “it’s a third party service fee”.
IF I can’t get through to the company tomorrow so I can cancel this fee, I’m telling Chase that I’m canceling my credit card with them after I pay off the balance — which is going to be a fucking long time because I’m stupidly in debt — but they don’t know that.
The companies in question are a “AP9*PRIVACYMATTERS12-V” and a ” TLG*PRIVGRD67424279MAY“.
With the latter TLG at least, I’ve been trying to get myself taken off whatever membership they’ve got me signed up with for at least a couple months now. The thing is, I tried Googling those companies and they’ve got a pretty nasty rep on the internet for randomly charing people under false pretenses. I’ve heard “scam” and “tricked” more than just a couple of times.
Just Fucking A.
I’m going to start yelling at them tomorrow, starting with TLG, and if that doesn’t solve things — there will be so much hell to pay.
So, do YOU have odd charges on your credit card statements?
