Emergency Vent: Real Life Stories

 Have you ever been so angry that you didn't know what to do?

That's' how I'm feeling today. I don't even know if I can hit these keys correctly. I'm trying to follow my own advice about managing anger that I give to patients. I have enough containment that I'm sure I won't do anything to get myself into trouble. But I do have fleeting thoughts of homicide without any plan or intent or specific target. I know that eventually I will calm down and feel some remorse and resume conduct as a reasonable person.

Why am I so mad? One of the few entities that can take me here are financial institutions when they throw their muscle around. Several weeks ago I transferred a substantial amount of money from one bank to another for the purpose of paying monthly bills as usual. The check didn't clear because the deposit was late that week. After the deposit was made I wrote another check for the same amount. Because of the previous check not clearing this check was placed on hold for several days. Meanwhile the bank raked in hundreds in insufficient fund fees. To add insult to injury they placed me under investigation for bank fraud but unbeknownst to me. I'm going on with my life as usual until the next months transaction where the same thing occurs to me. No one in the bank can tell me exactly what is happening. They give me a number to call where I can only speak to an answering machine. They continue to collect hundreds of dollars in insufficient fund fees (because they put a hold on the account for the investigation) and my bills go unpaid plus I have to pay late fees. I have never been good at balancing my check book nor have I been the greatest book keeper but I am not a criminal and have never been charged with a crime.

I do not understand how they can legally do this to anyone and I am so mad that I cannot think straight. I know it may be time to seek legal counsel. If there is any way these people can be sued I plan to give it all I have. They have not charged me with a crime because no crime has been committed except what they are doing to me without even informing me what they are doing. This is the kind of thing that makes people go postal. Any Lawyer out there willing to take my case?
