Yesterday at the grocery store, the clerk asked if I would like to donate my bag credit to charity. Sure, why not. I said that the store should donate the money to the large numbers of homeless parents and children I have seen around the city in the last few months. The clerk said, “Well, [...]

We Need to Band Together

Fighting the tea party, fighting other religions or non-religions, fighting anyone who doesn’t agree with our views just keeps us all form pointing to the real causes of our collective global crises. Follow the money, and in every case you’ll end up at the big bankers, who seek global domination. They are succeeding and we [...]
Charged Excess Overdraft Fees?
Posted in Personal, tagged Banking, banks, Overdraft fees on December 27, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Have you ever been charged excess overdraft fees because your bank ran through a big charge first, even if it happened later in the day, thereby causing small fees to accumulate excess overdraft charges? Was your bank a small bank or credit union? If so, let me know. Our law firm may be able to [...]

The US Government hands over OUR tax money to the banks who have driven us to this desperate economic situation that is hurting so many people. This should cause serious concern. Regardless of what you think of the Occupy movement, you should care that the government hands off your money to crooks, money that is [...]

I’m a bankruptcy attorney so I am often in contact with collection agencies and whatnot. I have been doing it long enough that I have also seen a bunch of financial institutions come and go. It is amazing how many bottom-feeder, rotten-ass lenders turn around and change their name because they are such scum, even [...]
Move Your Money

I’m very excited about a movement brewing to move money out of the big four banks (Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo, and Bank of America) and into smaller, community-based banks. The big banks took our bailout money, then earned record profits, returning to the same practices that caused the collapse in the first place. In spite [...]

You know, I was thinking this morning about giant bank failures after Wachovia bit the dust. Surprise surprise. I looked through the FDIC bank failure list. While it appears a few small banks have failed recently, the number of large bank failures to small ones is bigger in comparison to the overall number of banks. [...]

Showing up. Showing up. Showing up. As a writer, it is necessary for me to show up. I don’t have any desire whatsoever to work on the important things tonight.

As a bankruptcy attorney, I dealt day to day with the fallout of the “sub-prime” mortgage crisis. It’s getting worse. ARM loan rates go up, people have less money to pay their other bills, they get behind, call the bankruptcy attorney. I heard story after story, helped when I could, but the system is broken. [...]
