I'm a big fan of poverty finance over on reddit, it's far more hardcore than frugal.

Same - although frugal is definitely more uplifting, nice to read after PovFi

Or, you could call and immediately, and politely say, "Yes, I'm calling to close my account." They will immediately transfer you to the "recovery/save team" who's job it is to offer you something to keep you as a customer. At least, that's usually what happens with larger customer service departments. They have a few people who are authorized and empowered to do what a regular rep can't, to try and retain your business. Because, they actually make a good amount on fees. So, they like customers who end up with fees, as long as they pay them and continue their business. It's like the when credit card companies were cancelling people's cards, who always paid on time, or early, because they weren't making much from them because they never accrued fees.

My 2 scents.

This is my exact strategy too. Customer Retention department always hooks you up.

I'm guessing you've worked in Cust. service, because most people don't know that ""retention teams" are a thing.

I haven't, but I was told the trick by someone who has

You'll also find out if you ever try to change/cancel things with your cable company.

Don't know if anyone answered this but, you had to be a part of it from the beginning, like 13 weeks ago.

Man really . The pay rate is so high too

Afternoon everyone! Hope it's been a fantastic day. It quit raining here, so I'm about as happy as I can be on Wednesday.

I didn't want to like this, honestly. If they have an option to turn your account into one that won't overdraft, they might reverse the overages. I know my daughter has this through our credit union, and it's saved her a lot in fees. Also, I'm a big fan of poverty finance over on reddit, it's far more hardcore than frugal.

I'm checking out that subreddit now. How would I turn my account into one that won't overdraft? The thing is, it never used to overdraft, but it suddenly started doing so (maybe 6 months to a year ago), so I'm not sure what happened.

Well, it's supposed to be $8 an hour for 2 hours but, it doesn't take as long as that, usually.

Good, maybe you will bring good luck with you!
