![]() So, after speaking to the bank, I called the oil company that was listed on the draft in my account. Unfortunately, this month money’s a little tight, with extra things popping up. Now, typically this wouldn’t be too much of a financial issue, as I usually have plenty of money to cover things. They took money out of my account that wasn’t theirs and without my permission! So, basically I now have about $100.00 in overdraft fees, both from my bank and the rental company. Sort of like someone coming into your yard and taking your lawn mower without asking, but intended to give it back later. I was irate! How are they allowed to access my account and hold anything beyond the price I purchased for. The bank basically said that this is something that gas stations are starting to do. They don’t list this anywhere in the store as a policy either, so that you have the option to opt out. Apparently, these gas stations are holding 75-100.00 on debit transactions. They looked and saw where the BP station had put a $100.00 hold on my account. I called the bank to get to the bottom of it. Thing is, there was still money in my account. I checked my bank account today and I saw an overdraft fee on my rent check, and my rent check had not gone through. I filled up the tank, a whopping 12 dollars. It then prompted me to type my pin number in, etc. It asked if it was a debit card, I clicked yes. I pulled up to the pump and swiped my debit card in to the card reader. I went to the BP gas station located on Barnett Shoals Rd on the East Side, to fill up my motorcycle a couple of days ago. ![]() ![]() I’m trying to find out a little more information concerning an issue I ran in to today with an oil company. Now he’s got overdraft fees and he’s wondering why gas stations are doing this. Reader WW is upset because a gas station froze $100 on a debit card transaction for $12 worth of gas. ![]()
