I have already been through so much, and it feels like no matter what I try to do to escape the never ending train of crises that poverty gifts you with, another blow is ready to knock you back down on your ass.

And now, here we are again, and every time it gets a little harder to ask myself why I even bother.

I posted earlier that I made it to safety, and that is true. But I want to be transparent about what that safety cost. This is the hardest part. What I'd rather be right now is self-destructive.

I just checked my bank account, and my lungs flattened out.

The one-way rental vehicle that got Riko and me out of danger was supposed to be manageable. Anything above and beyond the original cost was supposed to go into a payment plan that would allow me to pay back that amount in a reasonable manner. Instead, my debit card was hit with a total charge of $1,045.15.

This, despite the fact that no transactions that overdraw my account should be permitted. In retrospect, I should've just bought a car and sold it for the funds to get my new life started. (That's a joke. A bank would NEVER give YOU that much control over your OWN money. That control belongs to the companies you think you "choose" to patronize.

Leftisms aside, this didn't just drain the funds we raised—it destroyed them.

In my last update that I had "very little left." I have been made mistaken. I now have less than nothing.

I cannot buy food. I cannot pay for gas. I cannot pay for anything until this hole is filled. The bank and the rental agency are closed until Monday, leaving me stuck in this financial freeze.

I need to raise $1,050 immediately just to get back to ZERO.

Please, if you can help me clear this debt so I can actually make it through my first week in Pittsburgh, I would be forever grateful.

P.S. If you know anyone that works for Budget, ask them why they're in the business of destroying people's lives. That's a good question for them to answer.

In case you are curious how we are getting internet here we arent using musknet but rather a external omnidirectional 4g antenna which we might need help getting currency for as we ended up spending the phone/internet money on emergancies like running out of food or running low on fuel despite trying to section it off for the internet/phone

So if you want to help with that...

We are in deep overdraft and are unable to pay it and I risk loosing the account
Most currency has been going to charging and food and catching up on much needed supplies

And if I loose the account we won't be able to do much and risk getting stranded

Today's food mutual aid request has been fulfilled (yay!)

Now let's see how much of Atha's debts run up trying to survive we can pay off...

The total debts are in the region of $50-60k if you include student loans.
But the immediate needs (to avoid car repo and excessive credit card and overdraft fees) are more like $2000.

What can we do to put a dent in that today?

@riley OFC that is a way the #USA specifically wrote their laws.

  • In Germany any business doing "passive holdings" as in "keeping, recieving and holding funds on behalf of others" is de-facto a #bank and "#CreditUnion" is usually just a form of naming (or in the case of #banks incorporated as #cooperatives, literally their meaning)...

That being said #ConsumerDebt in #Germany is virtually nonexistant compared to the #USA as banks don't simply issue #CreditCards or offer #Loans - even #overdraft isn't common and rarely given or only in amounts that'll be easily covered with the next paycheck minus "essentials to survive"...

Under President Joe #Biden, the agency had sought to cap #CreditCard late #fees at $8 & #overdraft fees at $5. The #Trump admin's move to end those policies should together cost #consumers $15 billion a year, according to the statement.

The dismissal of 22 enforcement cases that were pending when Biden left office in Jan — including actions against JP Morgan Chase, Bank of America, Wells Fargo & Capital One — involved more than $3 billion in alleged harm to consumers.

#PSA (and it may be bullshit because this is #reddit )

The comments on this post say that there is no wage to prevent an overdraft #ACH at #Chase even if you don’t have overdraft protection. I don’t use Chase or #overdraft protection so I don’t know.

#SallieMae took $2,500 from my account with only $5 in it. Now I’m stuck with a -$2,495 balance and no way to eat or live for 60 days. What can I do? : r/#StudentLoans https://www.reddit.com/r/StudentLoans/comments/1l8y43a/sallie_mae_took_2500_from_my_account_with_only_5/

My #Bank, ages ago, "sold" me #VisaDebit card by telling me that with it and the other services they offered #Overdraft was impossible. I believed them. It made sense that the bank would make sure that I simply couldn't spend more than what I actually had.

I was quite surprised when it happened the first time, and ever since I've tried to stay aware of how much I have on my account. Somehow there is a form of payment that somehow bypasses my bank's ability to prevent overdraft. Makes no sense, but apparently that is a thing. I still have no clue how or why it happened.

Despite their assurances the overdraft was somehow my fault, so I had to pay the fee that was bigger than the actual overdraft.
