They have a reckless business practice of placing a hold on your account for an excessive amount of money. $126.00 on a $32.00 gas purchase at the pump.
I have a special checking account with my bank, because I have pretty much no credit, so I could only get an account that will only allow me to spend $250 a day with my atm/debit card, stupid I know, but you do what you have to. So when I put about 32 dollars in gas in yesterday morning, I was aware that gas stations do put a hold on your money for the amount or slightly more, so I went about my business for the day. I bought a few small things, a few groceries, and some hair cuts for my kids. I also decided to take them out to a nice dinner with a friend. When the bill came, my card was rejected. Luckily my friend could cover it but I was really confused and very glad I didn't have to stop for anything else. I went to the bank today to sort it all out and this is when I was notified about the hold Texaco(keith's) placed on my account for $126.00, which killed my daily spending allotment. I really would like to know who is responsible for something so ridiculous. When I called the service station, and the branch as well they told me it's the banks fault and they had nothing to do with it. If that was true then every gas station I went to would leave me in the red. The ladies at the station were very rude and just didn't care that what they were doing was a pretty reckless practice, I mean what if I was out in the middle of nowhere and had to get more gas, I would have been stranded! The only thing I know for sure is that I will never go back to that station again. Keith's superstore in Carriere, MS read more
