I had a great time for thanksgiving, until I got back home that night and happened to check my bank account and lone and behold, a mysterious 75 dollar charge as descriptive as a returned check posted to my account. Then on top of it, i get another 25 dollar charge for the overdraft. Might seem strange, but i have no checks and the date the charge happened, I was home all day and the only other thing I did was create a pay pal account, link it to my bank account and then put my pay pal address for mylot payment method to get payed!!! Now go figure when I do all this and then I mysteriously happen to get unwanted charges to my bank account!!! And now I'm pissed off!!!!

Oh no, that's terrible! Given its the weekend, I'm sure there's very little thing you could do to correct this, but I think the banks' call center or hotline might be open and you can rent this so they can put. Hold first on any transactions that may occur over the weekends. If they have used your account once, there's a possibility that they will use it again this weekend. Then on Monday, go file the proper paperwork at your bank and if possible get these unauthorized charges on your account reversed and investigated upon.

Oh my! what a 'happy thanksgiving' experience you had. Sorry to hear that, but you I think you have to call or go to your bank to resolve this. The sooner, the better because banks can be very delinquent specially in dealing with refunds. Goodluck..

You need to call the bank and find out the details of the charges, and, if they are fraudulent, file a dispute.
