The place that handles my rental says "good news! you can pay by credit card on-line now!" and then just quietly tacks on an extra $8 charge on top of the credit card also getting their beak wet. So now I gotta pay like $15 just to pay my godamn rent??
I refuse to pay these BS fees. I only ever drop off checks. That still only costs me for the amount I pay for the checks, which is only a few cents per If memory serves.
What's even worse is when you're in debt and you gotta pay fees just to make a payment on that. Living in america means you're always just a couple steps from debtors prison or living on the street.
