Channel Six News is coming to my home today to interview me, on camera, regarding the issues I'm having with U Suck Bank!!

They called a couple hours ago and they are going to be here about 4:30 my time. It's 4:10 now.

I'm slightly nervous, but at the same time eager to tell my story and stand up for those of us that keep getting shafted by these banks.

I'll let you know how it went.

OMG!!!! That's so funny Babysteps...you made me laugh!! Thank you.

The bank is actually called US Bank (United States), but I decided that it actually stood for U Suck after they messed with me the way they did.

UPDATE: The interview is done. It went very well. They were very easy to talk to and I didn't even notice the camera. They were soooo nice and they really listened. They also spoke to me about how this affects the rest of my finances and life and I was able to share about the whole impact.

They are going to contact US Bank and find out why their being suck bung holes and they said that the story should air in a couple weeks, but that it will also be online. She said she would call me if she needed any other info and she would let me know the day/night it would be shown.

I cried a bit when we were discussing how scared I am about finances and being unemployed. I shared with her my fears about possibly losing my apartment and having to live out of my car or on the streets and she said that if that ever happened that she wants me to call her and she will do another story on that to see if it can help in some way.

Wow!! They were really awesome. I feel very validated...and that's the best feeling ever.

That's great news Elysium. Glad the interview went well. You know what I think - I bet you're going to get job offers from this interview - God works in mysterious ways you know. I hope something good starts happening.

Horray for validation, that's so important! I hope this embarrasses usuck into giving you your money and letting you get out of the account with them! I am really impressed with your strength to stand up to them.

Gosh, I could never ever let myself appear on camera! But I am glad for you. Glad that it went well and that you are feeling a sense of validation from what happened to you.
