Should be an issue. There are providers online that have real addresses. Use those

Unless it was disclosed in the lease, it's not legal

Firstly, attempt to send a check from your banks website instead for no fees.

Secondly, it’s likely an issue with their payment processor and their front end. Either someone selected percentage when they meant dollars or vice versa. Continue to highlight the error to them.

But many restaurants now ask for tips for takeout orders, which feels like the same thing. We're not paying our employees enough with the prices we've established, so pay more please.

Hi there, I work in payments here and this is very common. The logic behind charging payments is a literal drop down option to charging “actual” verses “percentage” unit amount. I’ve made this mistake multiple times and although very unacceptable for some people, it’s unfortunately common and part of human error, there’s hundreds, to thousands of merchant accounts each with their own unique pricing. Because of this, it must be eyeballed.

Not saying they’re not intentionally screwing you, but just that it happens, and it could be reversed.

Is only a good idea of you are already planning a 1k+ purchase. Spending 1k to get 200 is how you get in trouble.

My property management company charges a $50 rent processing fee every month like it takes teams of people to get my money electronically

High is relative. Regular savings accounts pay something like 0.01%. HYSAs are tied to the federal rate, so even 0.3%, which is what they were about a year ago is 30x higher.

Oh shoot. I commented on the wrong comment. I meant to ask OP.

It just sucks that somehow you're supposed to find the time and energy to become a part of a board you may want nothing to do with, just to keep them from exerting undue power over a really essential part of your life.

The slimiest company I’ve ever seen doing more slimy things. Surprise surprise.

Leave $1 behind so they don't close the account.

2021 we bought a house and had a ton of spending associated with that. Furniture, repairs, carpet, etc. it adds up fast.

I’m pumped though that after a lot of work this year, all of our credit card accounts have a $0 balance today.

2023 is going to be a good year.

If he is unemployed, then I would suggest him to stay away from trading.

Food vendors raise rates all the time but no one would pay a 3% food cost recovery fee when visiting a restaurant. Its the cost of doing business.

Too long ago.

> Fire property management company.

This would be the ultimate F.U. to the management company. "Oh remember me? The person you kept gaslighting? Not only are you fired but we're suing you for fraud to recoup the excess fees you charged our members."

Time in the market beats timing in the market. Put whatever you can in when you can and don’t sweat too much over it. Anything you do now is a benefit to your older self

When card brands increase rates and offer rewards cards that cost the merchant even more money to accept.

This ^^^^^

On behalf of another resident that was being fined to the tune of $3400 for an unapproved tree planting. I called them all “petty little bitches” in a meeting. A few gasps, but even more applause…. They are now a much more realistic organization.

Always fight the HOA……

Easy. Take a screenshot. It's either there or it isn't.

And that's WAY too high of a fee for e-check.

Effing complicated. Get a lawyer. For example if you split up , not married, it's a WHOLE LOT more complicated than if you are married. Divorce law is well settled, but not "shacking up" law.

You may say ,"I'll never leave him/ her". But shit happens. IMHO get married first.

This is where you get together every single person in your building/neighborhood/whatever that's subject to these same fees and let them know that for however long they've lived there, they've been getting overcharged x amount due to this fraud being perpetrated by the HOA. Sure, you might feel like the dollar amount isn't that much to you, but it's still money that rightfully belongs to you and not the HOA per their own rules, and it certainly adds up when you multiply that by every person paying it. I'm not a lawyer, but wonder what threshold it would need to reach before y'all would be able to file a class action suit. If it's a big HOA management type company on the backend, how many other people might be getting hit with these same bogus fee overages? It's worth fighting this and it's worth seeing how far it goes because HOAs are fucking evil.
