Bro have you never had a pre-authorized payment? My payments go out the day I get paid, but I don't get paid till the afternoon, my account will be in the negative untill I get paid. If I don't deposit money by midnight the payment bounces back and I incure a NSF from my bank.

yes I have pre-auth payments and if I don't have the money in my account they just don't go through.

I get where you're coming from. We have the means to verify funds before a transaction, so the NSF fee is like a service fee for checking the transaction, except only when there aren't enough funds. The real fix should be NSF fees are illegal, and banks need to sort their shit out.

That's weird to me, but I've also been banking with my bank for over 20 years now plus it's a credit union so maybe it's different for me because of one of those things. A $45 NSF fee sucks man.

yeah I didn't mean my previous comments to be offensive or anything because I've generally never had a NSF fee and I use to be fairly broke fairly often. things either got paid or they didn't. if there wasn't enough money in the account well the transaction be it a debit or a pre-auth payment or whatever just didn't go through so that's why I'm just curious about it.

Now when I lived in the US briefly? all the damn time I'd get nailed with NSF fees. so I know they suck. but here in Canada? I can't recall ever getting one so I was honestly curious as to how they happened.
