The Quadrillion Dollar Credit Card Charge and the Overdraft Fee
I knew cigarettes were getting expensive, but this is ridiculous.
It seems a New Hampshire man stopped to pick up a pack of cigarettes and his credit card was charged $23 quadrillion dollars. That’s right, quadrillion dollars.
The exact charge: $23,148,855,308,184,500.
To top it all off, Bank of America charged him a $15 overdraft fee.
Credit card companies, huh? In what is clearly a banking error, they’re still trying to squeeze you for every penny. The man who suffered the erroneous charge spent five hours on the phone with the bank and Visa to get the problem cleared up, reports the Associated Press.
This is yet another example of how credit card companies can make your life difficult at every turn.
If you can’t handle your credit card debt anymore, filing bankruptcy may be able to help.
