I feel ya, I had something like -$150 before my last pay check. Doing better this pay period.
There have been times where I knew I was going to get paid in a couple days, but I had a negative balance. So I would go to the grocery store and buy something using a check, pay $20 more and get cash back, just so I'd have some cash for gas or whatever.

Looks like you use Washington Mutual. I just had to cancel my account with them (had it for the past 3 years, since I got my first job in this state since moving) because of similar ****. I had a string of fraudulant charges made, causing a number of overdraft charges. ******* manager at the bank wouldn't even refund overdrafts when they weren't my fault until I threatened to close the account. Then, when I filed the dispute for the 3 charges, he failed to tell me that my debit card would be canceled in the process. Hmm, how nice. I couldn't even deposit my paycheck without giving the bank social security numbers and ID... drove from the branch near work to the branch I filed the dispute from... walked right in, closed the account.
