Glitch with Visa leaves users with $23 Quadrillion charge

[MisterBob]

You don't see the humor in being charged $15 for going 23 quadrillion dollars overdrawn?

Not particularly. Overdrawing has the same effect on the bank no matter how much you overdraw by.

[Plow]

That depends on if they're actually paying it or not.

Regardless, I found it humorous.


However, you're misterbob, and your word is infallible. I shall not challenge it.

Are you dense? These charges shouldn't exist.

[Overburn]

Are you dense? These charges shouldn't exist.

$23 Quadtrillion charges or overdraw fees? Cause if it's the first, it was an error and was corrected. If you meant the later, they should exist.

[Pringles]

The question that should be asked, is what would the guy have done if they accidentally credited his account 23 quadrillion dollars.

[MisterBob]

Are you dense? These charges shouldn't exist.

I think you're missing the point here.

Yes, we all know the 23 quadrillion dollar charge is in error.

However, the resulting overdraft free is not an error. I'm responding to Plow who thinks for whatever reason overdraft fees should vary based on the amount you overdraft by, which makes very little sense considering the nature of the penalty.

[Chicomagiko]

i read this as

LOLVista

i am dissapoint.

i did too

[Senoska]

I also read it as another Vista fuck up. Which made me go LOLVista again.

You're ignorant and are simply repeating what you think the "techy" people say. Shut the fuck up.

A rare moment, but I agree with you here. The Vista-hating bandwagon is obnoxious, and most people riding on it are ignorant morons.

I do believe it would have a bit more intense effect on a bank to go 23 quadrillion dollars into debt than for 1 person to go 25 cents into debt with them.

You're infallible tho, so I must be wrong.

Yep, when you overdraft 23 quadrillion dollars, the bank immediately gives it to you and goes into debt that it stands no chance of paying off. No wonder WaMu went under!

[Koul]

Think you're taking things too literally misterbob

I think the humor with the 15$ fee is the fact that the bank is like "you owe us 23 quadrillion dollars ...also there's a 15$ overdraft fee ^.^ teehee" I can just picture talking to some banker bitch on the phone and her telling me that. uughhh hate banker bitches

I don't know how else to explain it. also, I get hit with 31$ overdraft fees.... wtf (no, I'm not bad with money I just got fired and was out of work for 5 months so all my savings went basdlfjsadlfjas;dfj QQ)

I'd have considered it humor if he hadn't stuck the generic "lolol american banks are stupid lol" quip at the end.

inb4 he backpedals, etc

[Plow]

Yeah, who would comment on the humor of a bank that passes 23 quadrillion dollar charges, and adds $15 to that. I'm so silly.

[Senoska]

As someone pointed out. Its Hex.

2020202020201250 =

2314885530818450000 into cents.

So 6 spaces and a 2 = this.

[guartz]

I submitted a crime tip to the FBI with the phone number provided.

Hopefully, they'll get agent Fox Mulder on the case.

[Ikith]

LOLOL A $15 dollar overdraft fee on 23 quadrillion dollars... Uh kay the system is automated whats the big fucking deal?

Edit: And overdrafts should exist. If you don't like them because you get them a lot learn to manage your money dip shit.

[Plow]

Wow, people need to calm down and stop assuming shit. My bank account is set up so I can overdraft anytime I want and get no fees, as long as I continue to not be retarded about it.


Get over yourselves, I found it amusing, stop being fucking retarded because you didn't.

How is it amusing? The system is automated! Its not like someone saw "Oh a quadrillion dollars let me overdraft" a system said oh you are in the negatives let me add $15.

I do as well whenever I go over I get charged one dollar and the money that I went over gets transferred from my savings to the card.

[Plow]

Because it's $15 fucking dollars on a 23 quadrillion dollar charge.

I don't care if it's automated or a 2 year old, it's silly.


Not silly because someone got charged for overdrawing, it's just a fucking silly concept.


Get. Over. It.
