More than merely frustrating. I’ve missed bill deadlines and got fined or had to pay interest because of this bullshit. I’d thought paying my bill from my bank account a few days in advance would be okay, apparently not.
Now that I think about it I had similar experiences. Apparently having sufficient funds in the account on the day of withdrawal isn’t enough to avoid a rejected payment and penalty fee.
