M: I don’t understand it. I got a notice from the bank that I had two rubber checks. I’ve never had an overdraft before.
    W: That doesn’t sound like you. You’re always so careful with your money.
    M: I am! I don’t understand what happened.
    W: Let me take a look at your bank statement. OK, here are your deposits and withdrawals from last month. Do you know that your bank charges you a fee just to have a checking account? It looks like you also have a minimum balance requirement. If you fall below that, you get charged a fee.
    M: I don’t know that.
    W: If it’s like my checking account, you can avoid that by getting a direct deposit for your paycheck. Do you also know that you get charged every time you use your ATM card to make a purchase?
    M: I don’t know that! It is all rather unbelievable.
    W: Well, that’s what happened. Your bank is charging you fees for all those things and after those fees were deducted, you were left with less money in your account than you thought.
    M: That’s too much! How could they do that?
    W: They count on you not reading the terms and conditions and not looking closely at your statements.
    M: I’ve had it! I’m moving banks.
