Well i have a merry christmas three days later when i saw that my tranfer wasnt actually instant and i was charged 7 35 dollar overdraft fees …because i my instant transfer wasnt as instant as they claim.

Down with the Banksters! They did the same to me; first they charged me an overdraft fee then because the same fee took me to a negative balance they hit me with a second fee; $70 for $2 in the red. So I decided that my other accounts are in good standing and seven years isnt long to wait, so fuck 'em, I'll take the credit ding and keep my money. Maybe if enough of us simply walk away from our (fee created) negative accounts it will open their eyes. Lesson learned: don;t put another dime in your BofA account, they will conspire to take it away from you. Remember: it was YOUR money to begin with.

Hello Steve, are you sure the software is not linked to the hard disk code?

“We have in this country one of the most corrupt institutions the world has ever known. I refer to the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Banks, hereinafter called the FED. They are not government institutions. They are private monopolies which prey upon the people of these United States for the benefit of themselves and their foreign customers…”

My story's similar, except I think mine beats yours in the WTF?? department! I had a $2.35 transaction that I was in the middle of switching banks and forgot my Itunes was still linked to BOFA acct. There weren't sufficient funds in checking, but there was $1 +change in savings. They took that, paid some of the $2.35 original transaction with it, charged me $35 NSF charge PLUS a $10 transfer from savings acct. fee! The fees just kept adding up until I finally did what you did…just stopped depositing anything in my account for fear they would steal it. I'm beginning to think that my Grandpa that kept his money under his mattress wasn't so crazy after all :)

they did similar stuff to me and I told them give me my money back or I am complaining to local state Representative and the federal reserve. They sometimes like to send the big purchase through and then small purchases that you made a few days earlier they hold back and then send those after wards then you go over three small purchases then get charged the overdraft fees on three things instead of one

this where I sent my complaint they have a link so you send an email to them

If anyone is looking for a video/audio converter, and a good one at that, try this one! It's called Any Video Converter and even the free version is awesome! Buy the professional and you've got a great deal!

We are having similar issues with another banking instution (notice the choice of the word, instution. They should all be instutionalized!) Charging a $35 fee on a single $9 transactrion, that fee screws the account up even further, once the overdraft and the new negative is going on, they can then charge $35 for every 5 days that it's overdrawn. I'm NOT going to pay any of the fees! I'm going to put the $9 (and any other charges that they are legit) into the account and going to another bank. I will warn them what has been going on in the past and then give them the hint that I won't hesitate to do that again.

I wish I found this site 10 minutes ago as I just bought the “unlimited” license. This really is deceptive and I didn't read the FAQ until after I purchased the product. Keep fighting the good fight.

Comment on In Loving Memory Of Darryl Hoosier by Steve Pittenger

Steve Pittenger — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 20:01:14 +0000

I knew Darryl for many years and he and i spoke often. He was great, just as everyone had said. He always took time with me to share his knowledge and wisdom. He even helped me make many decisions that were difficult. His wisdom and caring nature was the thing i remember most about him. He never judged me but only encouraged me. I only today learned of his passing. I am terribly sad by it. But i know he is with the Lord. My prayers will continue to go out to his family for their loss. Blessings.

My 4YO is deathly afraid of Chuck E. We went a few months ago and she hid UNDER THE BOOTH when he came into the party area. No where near her.

I doubt we’re going again anytime soon.

!! IMPORTANT TO READ !! IMPORTANT TO READ !!

You must register the computer to the EXACT name as the older computer.
So if you are getting a new computer, the AVS software key is linked to the name the computer is registered to.
So the name you had in the email when you received the software key is what the computer has to be rgistered to.

Well despite not liking their marketing policies, today I broke down and bought the AVS4YOU unlimited subscription. It was on sale for 30% off ($41.30 instead of $59) at http://backupandrestoreyourdata.com/. I just hope my PC lasts a couple of more years.

Yea, I’m gonna say here that their policies suck, but there are other websites that I’ve known (not gonna name any) that have used this policy on their products, and AVS4YOU isn’t the only one that started to suck with it.
Oh yea, that customer support guy looks like he needs a blowjob.

BofA is truly scum – total bottom feeders – embarassing that I stayed with them for as many years as I did. I’ve been reamed for overdraft fees for years but stubbornly thought I could figure out how to prevent them from recurring. That last straw, which finally broke my back, was incurring over $400 in fees because I was 5 days late in paying my overdraft protection. I had almost $4000 in available credit available for overdraft protection but because I was late paying the $32.00 that was owed to that account they blocked the overdraft protection and I incurred fees for days – even AFTER I got everything caught up. Absolutely insidious. I’m starting the process of switching to a local bank today and as painful as it will be tracking down all the automatic transactions I’ve set up over the years it will be SO worth it to leave BofA behind.

Love the story of (but feel bad for) the person who got screwed by the RedBox rentals – I’ll be sure all my friends know about that!

Today is the last day (1/10/10) of the AVS 70% Off Christmas Sale, and I almost popped for the $59 “Lifetime” offer, even though I was aware it meant lifetime of the computer. Then I read this blog and was convinced that my 3.5 year old computer would probably reach its allotted time before I would, even though I have been collecting Social Security for some time now. My association with AVS goes back several years (June, 2004) to when they were first creating their software, and I made good use of their conversion programs. They stated at that time that I would have a lifetime subscription to their audio/video software, and I interpreted that to mean my lifetime. When they came out with their suite of programs, I tried to get them to give me a license, and they would not even answer my emails…So much for AVS and their marketing policies…My immediate need is to convert Tivo files to DVD. I would have to do the 2 step Tivo-MP4-DVD using AVS for the second step, but using Easy Media Creator 10 as suggested by Jabarrado Montoya above, it looks like a 1 step process. I’ll investigate that and bypass AVS.

“Does anyone know how they define computer?”

This is important. I would like to know this also. In the FAQ they say that you can change out a card (video/sound/etc) without problem, but what about upgrading mobo or HD?
