Pump Bank

Do you think that it is fair for your bank to charge you $50 for a penny overdraft on your checking account?

I used my debit card at the gas station. The gas pump went over 6 cents as I was taking the pump out of the gas tank. This was an error, but I was charged $50 for that error at the gas station.

I am surprised your transaction was approved. Since pay at the pump authorize at least $50 or more. You still owe that 6 cents unless it happens that you stop the flow of the gas. In that case you should of gone in a reported the pump as malfunctioning and ask for a provisional credit of 6 cents. Their computers can some times tell if a pump is malfunctioning. I never use a debit card at the pay at the pump unless I have a lot of money in my account like $200 or more.
