Dodge is an automotive brand manufactured by Chrysler Group LLC, which is majority owned by Italian automaker Fiat. Dodge vehicles are sold in many places all across the world.

7. Changes in Ownership
The story of the Dodge brand begins in 1900, when brothers John and Horace Dodge established a machine shop in Detroit, Michigan. The two men were skilled machinists, having spent several years building bicycles, amongst other things. Initially, the company started out producing and supplying quality auto parts such as engines and transmissions to the growing number of automakers in Detroit's automobile industry, including the Olds Motor Vehicle Company. The brothers enjoyed a great deal of success as a parts supplier and earned a solid reputation for their excellent workmanship. Shortly after, Henry Ford approached the brothers asking them for money to help him start his new automobile company, as well as to supply parts for his first automobiles. In early 1903 they accepted Ford's offer of 10 percent of the company in return for their investment of $10,000 and the Dodge brothers began working exclusively for Ford, making several of the parts used in the first Ford vehicles.
Despite a rocky relationship rife with financial squabbles, the Dodge Brothers Company continued to be a major supplier to Ford for the next few years and became the largest automotive parts company in the world. By 1905 Ford was beginning to take steps to produce engines and transmissions for his automobiles himself, however, he continued to use Dodge brothers as a source of parts for his automobiles in the meantime. In 1910, the Dodge brothers commenced work on building a new plant for their burgeoning business in Hamtramck, Michigan. Fearing that they were too dependent on one customer for their business, as well as their growing desire to build their own vehicles, the Dodge Brothers informed Ford in 1913, a year in advance as they were required to do per their agreement, that they would be terminating their contract. John Dodge resigned from his positions as director and vice president of the Ford Motor Company as a result of this decision.
The Dodge Brothers Motor Car Company is Formed
In July of 1914, the Dodge brothers incorporated as their own automobile company, calling it the Dodge Brothers Motor Car Company. About a month later, in August of 1914, their partnership with Ford was officially severed, ending a very tumultuous 12 year working relationship. However, the Dodge Brothers continued to hold onto the stock they had in the Ford Motor Company from their initial investment in 1903. That same year, Dodge began producing its own vehicles – the first all-steel touring cars to be mass-produced in the world - and by 1916, thanks in large part to the reputation that they had built up over the years for producing quality and dependable auto parts for other automobiles, the company had become the second highest selling automaker in the country. In 1916, the U.S. Army led an expedition into Mexico against Pancho Villa. Dodge Brothers vehicles were used during this campaign and garnered much acclaim for their durability. This also helped boost their reputation as a respected automaker.
Also in 1916, Henry Ford abruptly stopped paying dividends to the companies' stockholders because he needed the funds to finance the construction of a new complex for his company. The Dodge brothers didn't react to this kindly and they in turn filed suit against Ford in order to protect the lucrative earnings they were accumulating annually on the stock they owned. As a result, Ford was forced to pay out dividends to the stockholders of the Ford Motor Company, with a large portion of that being paid out to the Dodge brothers. Ford then decided it was in his best interest to buy out all of his shareholders and he did so in 1919. The Dodge brothers were bought out for about 25 million US dollars for the 10 percent of stock they owned in the company. This officially ended the relationship with the Ford Motor Company once and for all. With the profits that they had earned working for Ford and the annual dividends they earned from owning stock in the Ford Motor Company, combined with the selling of their stock, the Dodge brothers were essentially able to finance their own company and turn it into the powerful automaker it would become.
Death of the Dodge Brothers and Sale to Chrysler
By 1920, Dodge Brothers cars continued to rank second in U.S. sales. Unfortunately, tragedy would befall the company. Both founders, John and Horace Dodge, suddenly passed away in 1920; John first in January, followed by Horace in December. Ownership of the company passed into the hands of the brothers' widows who in turn named long-time employee Frederick Haynes, president. During this time from 1920 to 1925, Dodge Brothers entered into an agreement with Graham Brothers to market their medium-duty trucks through its own Dodge Brothers dealerships to complement its line of passenger cars. As part of the deal, every Graham Brothers truck was built with a Dodge engine in it. The resulting sales increases prompted Dodge Brothers to buy the Graham Brothers' company, helping Dodge became a leader in the light truck market in the following years. Despite the continued growth of the company, development became stagnant and sales suffered as a result, and the company's position in the marketplace plummeted. In 1925, the heirs of the Dodge Brothers Motor Car Company sold it to investment group Dillon, Read and Co. The new company was renamed Dodge Brothers, Inc.
The group had no experience in the automobile industry, and sales continued to suffer. As a result, by 1927 the group was looking to sell and began negotiations with the Chrysler Corporation. In 1928, the transaction was complete and the company was sold to Chrysler. In 1930 the company name was changed to simply "Dodge," and the distinctive ram hood ornament made its first appearance in 1933. Although purchased by Chrysler, Dodge remained a separate moniker, still producing cars and trucks – which by now also included medium to heavy-duty trucks in addition to their light-duty trucks - up until 1942.
World War II and Beyond
The attack on Pearl Harbor forced the shutdown of Dodge passenger car production in favor of producing war materials which became a part of tanks, ships, airplanes, etc. They also provided thousands of military trucks, engines and ambulances that helped them build a stronger reputation with grateful soldiers and citizens as well. This helped them in the years following the war when production of civilian automobiles resumed in 1945.
In the 25 plus years following the war, Dodge produced a number of successful vehicles. The Dodge Coronet, the Dodge Meadowbrook, the compact Dodge Lancer and Dodge Dart, the incredibly successful Dodge Charger, the full-size Dodge Polara and the Dodge Monaco are just a few of the cars manufactured during this time period. They also continued to produce trucks, which they became at least as well known for as their passenger cars. The Dodge Power Wagon, a four-wheel drive light truck, was introduced in 1945 and was manufactured up until 1980. The Dodge D Series, a line of pickup trucks, was released in 1961.
A highlight during this time period was the reputation that the brand built up as Chryslers' performance brand of automobiles. The introduction of the Red Ram "Hemi-Head" engine in 1953, which was a smaller version of the original Hemi engine design that Chrysler had first developed in 1951, would essentially intertwine the brand with the word "speed" from here on. This was Dodge's first V8 engine in over 20 years and the first Hemi engine to be used in Dodge vehicles. Hemi engines would go on to become legendary in the automotive industry. Dodge also became a big player in the NASCAR racing scene as a result and won numerous races during this time. In addition, Dodge became extremely well known due to their role in the muscle car market that peaked in the late 1960's and early 1970's. People were in love with really fast cars and Dodge was happy to fill the need. A few notable models from this era were The Dodge Super Bee and the Dodge Challenger.
A Company in Crisis
In 1973, an oil crisis befell the United States; crude oil and retail gasoline prices skyrocketed and the effects of the crisis produced many significant changes. The government implemented new emissions regulations and automobiles, including those manufactured by Dodge, were seen as being extremely inefficient. This brought about the end of the muscle car era and consumers were now much more interested in smaller, more fuel-efficient cars. While other manufacturers began downsizing their vehicles quickly, Dodge was slower to the task. They did introduce the compact Dodge Omni, but the company began to face serious financial problems from struggling sales of outdated vehicles. The Dodge Ramcharger was released in 1974, which was their first real attempt to enter into the SUV market, but because of financial constraints, it remained unchanged until 1993 when it was discontinued. Another result of the decline in the industry during this time was the elimination of their heavy-duty trucks in 1975 and medium-duty trucks in 1978. In 1979, Chrysler requested and received federal loan help from the United States Congress in order to help stave off bankruptcy, and fund the development and production of new vehicles that embraced the new times.
In 1981, the Dodge D series line of pickup trucks was renamed the Ram Pickup line and, due to the financial problems that the company was facing, went through very minimal updates until 1993. The turnaround for the company began in 1982 when they released the Dodge Aries, its version of the famous Chrysler "K-Car. It would become instrumental in helping the company climb out of its financial hole. The front-wheel drive platform on which the Aries was built helped spawn a new range of Dodge models in the 1980's and early 1990's, including the infamous Dodge Caravan released in 1984, which would essentially create a new market segment in the automotive industry, the minivan. The introduction of the Caravan was groundbreaking and sales went through the roof, saving Dodge from the automotive graveyard. Other models introduced during this time were the Dodge Daytona, a new mid-sized pickup truck called the Dodge Daytona to complement their full-size Dodge Ram pickups, and the Dodge Stealth.
Back to its Roots
In the late 1980's and early 1990's, the company re-established its roots as a performance brand. This was helped substantially with the release in 1992 of the Dodge Viper, a reincarnation of the 60's muscle cars, sporting a V10 engine and over 400 horsepower. The car created quite the buzz in the automotive world. The release of the Viper set the stage for what was dubbed "The New Dodge," an all-new product lineup that was to follow during the mid 1990's. The Dodge Intrepid, a roomy family sedan whose styling came from the Lamborghini Portofino concept car, the Dodge Stratus, and the Dodge Neon were all released in the following years. In an attempt to breathe new life into its truck division as well, the outdated Dodge Ramcharger was discontinued and an all-new Dodge Ram was released in 1994, featuring an all-new "big-rig" styling. The newly designed truck won Motor Trend's Truck of the Year award that same year and was a big hit. The Dodge Dakota was also redesigned in a similar fashion in 1997 and, along with the new Dodge Ram, helped to set Dodge trucks apart from its competition. Additional redesigns followed in the years to come, including the addition of powerful HEMI engines. In 1998, the mid-sized Dodge Durango SUV was released as an updated replacement to the Dodge Ramcharger. The vehicle helped to create a new niche in the industry and was also well received.
Changes in Ownership
In 1998, the Chrysler Corporation merged with and was then subsequently acquired by Daimler-Benz AG in 1998 to form DaimlerChrysler, with U.S. operations generally referred to as the "Chrysler Group." Dodge would become DaimlerChrysler;s low-price and performance division, however, the merger never lived up to the hype. DaimlerChrysler then sold a majority of its interest in the Chrysler Group of its business to a private equity firm, Cerberus Capital Management, in 2007 and thereafter it became a new company, Chrysler LLC. DaimlerChrysler changed its name to Daimler AG shortly afterwards, but maintained a 19.9% interest in the now separated Chrysler LLC. Daimler AG came to an agreement with Cerberus Capital Management to give up its remaining stake in Chrysler LLC in April of 2009, days before Chrysler LLC filed for bankruptcy. On June 10, 2009, Chrysler LLC emerged from a Chapter 11 restructuring overseen by the U.S. government, with the majority of all of Chrysler's assets being sold to what was called "New Chrysler", which became Chrysler Group LLC in alliance with and owned by Fiat. The U.S. government lent support to the deal in the form of 6.6 billion US dollars in financing, which was paid out to the "Old Chrysler," formerly Chrysler LLC and now a company called Old Carco LLC. While Fiat initially only owned 20% of the new Chrysler Group LLC company after the bankruptcy proceedings were complete, that was increased to over half in 2011 when it bought the shares of Chrysler that were being held by the U.S. Treasury. The stake has since increased to almost two-thirds of majority ownership as of 2012.
Some of the models released by Dodge during this tumultuous period included the Dodge Sprinter, the Dodge Nitro, the Dodge Caliber, and the Dodge Journey. The truck division of Dodge was also spun off into its own brand by Chrysler Group LLC in 2009 following their newly formed alliance with Fiat, separate from its passenger car division which maintained the Dodge name. The newly established subsidiary was called Ram, named after Dodge's most popular truck. The separation has since allowed Dodge to refocus and better concentrate on producing sportier performance vehicles for the young, hip, cool and energetic crowd.

The Dirty Heads & Shiny Toy Guns
Don't miss Tour Odyssey with The Dirty Heads & Shiny Toy Guns when it hits The Complex April 5th! Mini Matilda and Oh No Fiasco! will also perform.
About The Dirty Heads:
"It starts with the title. No matter where you are or what's going on, when you hear this record, we want to transport you to this place, this 'Cabin by the Sea.'", says Heads front man Jared "Dirty J" Watson of the new album Cabin by the Sea.
For the SoCal rock/reggae/hip-hop band, Cabin represents more than just good vibes. It's the culmination of years of hard work and endless touring, and a chance to refine and improve on their breakthrough, 2008's Any Port in the Storm. That's not an easy act to follow – their debut album featured one of the decade's biggest rock singles, "Lay Me Down" (which spent eleven weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Alternative Chart, a record for an independent release and more than any single that year by anyone, including The Black Keys, Kings of Leon and 30 Seconds to Mars) and a shout-out in Rolling Stone as one of year's best new bands.
But the Heads knew better things lay ahead. "Last time was our first time in the studio, working with a producer," says Watson. "This time out, we nailed it. We trimmed the fat and got the sound we were always going for." - dirtyheads.com
About Shiny Toy Guns:
The road that led Shiny Toy Guns into the abyss — and now, triumphantly, back from it — was fraught with peril, full of steep grades, twists, potholes, detours and dead ends. That the Los Angeles-based quartet has emerged firing on all cylinders is testimony not only to its members' artistic vision but to their personal renaissance.
"III," the new album that reunites the original four members whose pioneering synth-pop and DIY ethic made Shiny Toy Guns worldwide sensations so many miles ago, is symbolic of that journey. On "III," their first album in almost four years, the band refines its signature electronic sound with a collection of exuberant, intensely personal songs about life, love, loss and redemption.
To create them, though, the foursome — Carah Faye (vocals), Chad Petree (vocals, guitar), Jeremy Dawson (synth, bass) and Mikey Martin (drums) — was forced to heal the fissures that began showing even as they were sharing their Grammy-nominated debut, "We Are Pilots" (2006), to hungry audiences.
That rift resulted in Faye departing Shiny Toy Guns for their second album, "Season of Poison" (2008), moving to Sweden and finding her own place as a songwriter (and, she adds, as a human being). Only after Dawson and Martin traveled to Sweden for a series of soul-searching conversations were the friendships that made Shiny Toy Guns such a special unit patched. - shinytoyguns.com

Get the i5 2500K. It is currently the best CPU on the market for gaming. That will save you about 100 dollars. For a gamer, there is zero difference in performance between an i7 and an i5. Hardly any games use Hyperthreading (the only thing that an I7 has which an i5 does not) and those that do will still be perfectly fine on the i5.
Motherboard: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asrock-...68extreme3gen3 would be an alternative, it is widely considered the best bang-for-buck motherboard out there. The only thing it is missing is an internal USB3.0 connector, but the case you have chosen doesn't have an internal header (plug) for the front USB3.0 port anyway. It would save you another 60 bucks.
Change the motherboard and the CPU and you will have ~160 dollars to spend on an SSD, which will improve your boot times considerably, as well as the game loading times. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820148448 is the one that I would buy if it was my computer and my money.
As for the graphics cards, the 6950 should play any current game at 40+ FPS, and WoW at 60+ FPS on maximum/close to maximum settings. Whether you take it or the 560ti is really just a matter of preference in my opinion.
Don't forget that you need an operating system for the computer (Windows 7 Home Premium is 99 dollars at newegg), and you have not included an optical drive. Depending on how old the one in your current PC is you may not be able to use it (IDE drives cannot be plugged into a SATA port) and would therefore need to buy one (20 bucks).

Craig Heist, wtop.com
JUPITER, Fla. - It didn't have nearly the intensity of Game 5 of the National League division series a year ago and the result was different as the Nationals beat the Cardinals 6-2 Saturday in a Grapefruit League game.
The rematch also featured the Game 5 starters from last September, Gio Gonzalez and Adam Wainwright. But it was Wainwright who got beat up early in this spring game giving up five runs, (four earned) in the second inning. He gave up two home runs during his stint.
Gonzalez, who last year in Game 5 allowed three runs on five hits with four walks and five strikeouts, gave up two runs on five hits Saturday while walking one and he did not have a strikeout.
It was Gonzalez's second start of the spring and he will have one more before he heads to the World Baseball Classic to join Team USA when the team gets to Miami. He was happy with the results from his start.
"It was good," Gonzalez said. "My arm feels good. My arm is healthy and I am where I want to be. Again, it's about adjustments, little by little, it's Spring Training and I'm sure everyone is doing the same thing. Everyone is making adjustments and working on what they need to work on. When you see your defense and offense coming alive and making good plays and putting the ball in play, it's pretty exciting to see right now."
Gonzalez threw 52 pitches, 31 for strikes, throwing mostly fastballs. The weather had a little bit to do with that as the temperature was in the 60's and a there was a stiff breeze blowing out to right field.
"I thought he threw the ball good," said manager Davey Johnson. "For some reason or another, the ball was really slippery today and he couldn't get a good feel on it and didn't throw too many breaking balls and really just stayed with his fastballs."
Gonzalez left Game 5 last year with a 6-3 lead only to see the Cardinals come back and win as Drew Storen couldn't hold a two-run lead, giving up a four-run ninth inning in a 9-7 loss that sent St. Louis to the National League Championship Series against the Giants.
Gonzalez was facing the Cardinals for the first time since that devastating loss.
"It was good to see some familiar faces," Gonzalez said. "They're all nice guys. Off the field they're great guys, on the field, the same thing. They're competitors, just like we are and I'm sure they were thinking the same things, go out and attack the strike zone and swing the bat. It's the same thing we are trying to do. It's Spring Training. There's no rivalry yet."
Booming bats
The Nationals hit three home runs on the day.
They scored four times in the second inning as Anthony Rendon hit a two-run blast to dead center field off Wainwright that hit three-quarters of the way up the batters eye. Chris Marrero singled in a run just before that and he also hit a solo homer to right. Later, Ian Desmond went deep to the opposite field.
Both Marrero and Rendon each has peace of mind knowing they are heading into this year injury free.
Rendon is hitting .438 with two homers and seven RBI and he feels like a burden has been lifted off his shoulders as he headed into this spring.
"You don't have to get in the training room too early and get rubbed out or whatever you got to do. You can just go up there with a free mind and play the game you have been playing your whole life," he said.
Marrero has seven hits in 21 at-bats, with a homer and three RBI's.
"Yeah, this spring is different," Marrero said. "I feel like when my name is called, I'm ready to go. I don't have to be coming in and doing therapy or doing this and doing that and just worry about playing baseball."

Nats reliever Drew Storen pitched the eighth inning and struck out the first two batters he faced but then gave up two hits and a walk to load the bases. He then got Justin Christian to pop out to end the inning.
Storen said he was happy overall with what he was working on. But when a reporter broached the subject of Game 5 against the Cardinals last year and if it crossed his mind at all, Storen rolled his eyes.
"If it felt weird and it was going through my head, then I shouldn't be out there," he said.
Returning the favor
The Nationals will be at Space Coast Stadium Sunday for a 1:05 p.m. game against the Cardinals. LHP Ross Detwiler will make his second start of the spring before heading off to the WBC in Arizona. LHP Jamie Garcia will throw for St. Louis.

The advancement of medical science is taking more and more unbelievable turns with the passage of time. More often than not, there is a scientific solution available for whatever physical or mental challenge you might be facing. Many times it is not about a problem that you might have but just some change in your natural physical stature or mental state that you might want. We have scientific procedures that help us feel better towards our lives or about ourselves. Similarly, we have procedures that help us get into a better shape physically.
Although for many of us, better shape means losing the extra fat on body, I say so because a vast amount of population is suffering from obesity, there are still many who would instead want the fat to move to right places. So, in want of a curvy figure, women and some men too are taking to butt injections so as to have a better physical appearance. Before you believe any false rumors, with a healthy outlook towards this procedure and good understanding of the change that you are going to go through, this can be an easy transition to look better and feel better state of health.

There are so many restaurants which offer sandwiches across the globe, but not the way Subway does. With Subway, you get to try the best tasting sandwiches there are, and you still couldn't get enough of them. Their sandwiches are so stuffed with such delightful ingredients that you will surely ask for more.
Subway's History
Who said going to college is the only key to success? Apparently, Fred Deluca proved that notion wrong, because instead of going to college, he listened to the advice of his good friend, Peter Buck, to open a submarine sandwich shop in 1965. The shop was originally called Pete's Super Submarines and became Subway in 1968. It grows so fast and has become so popular that as of early 2011, Subway is already operating 39,282 restaurants located in 102 countries.
Subway's Menu and Coupons 2014
Although Subway's menu varies depending on the restaurant's location, their signature dishes still include Subway Melt, Chicken Teriyaki and Roasted Chicken Breast. Their menu may also include the classics (including ham, tuna, Spicy Italian and Veggie Delite), favorites (including Italian B.M.T. and Sliced Chicken and Ham) and premium (including Roast Beef, Steak and Cheese and Subway Club). They also offer cookies, chips and salad.
Their dishes are simply appetizing. Subway is so dedicated to providing their diners the best sandwiches that they refuse to settle for regular food taste; otherwise, they wouldn't be known for the lusciousness of their sandwiches worldwide.
If there's a way to purchase their sandwiches at more affordable rates, will you go for it? Of course, you will! If you want the latest updates on Subway's promos, specials and discounts, just go to their official website at www.subway.com. You may also sign in to their Facebook page for available printable coupons, including two subs at a discounted price. For other coupons, you may simply type in "Subway coupons 2014" in the search engines, and you'll find other websites offering the same great deals.
Visit the nearest Subway, and avail of these limited offers. Just imagine the amount of money you'll be able to save. There are now more reasons to treat your family and friends with the best sandwiches only Subway can offer you.

Overdraft Fee When Account Was Always in Black
Posted by
RENO, NEVADA -- So, I was teetering on a balance of $0. When a transaction would pop through as pending I would run down and deposit cash as it is deposited right away according to their policy. This went on for a few transactions. and I was always in the black. I get an email saying I have insufficient funds. Low and behold they pulled out $35 overdraft fee, which put me in the red, not any of my transactions.
I called and explained what was going on and this is very odd that I never received an insufficient fund notice until the penalty was pulled. She offered half of the penalty back and I refused as I was going to go into a branch to try to get it all back.
Well that didn't not go so well. He went to the manager and came back and said they would do nothing because it is not a banking error. He showed me a back log of when I was in the red. Something that we never see on our internet interface, and explained that a transaction way back when was red and then I was in the red again when they finally pulled out the $35 penalty.
I once again explained that I don't see the back log ever so how can I make banking decisions based on what Wells Fargo does not show me? They stated that it is my responsibility to balance my check book.(rudely), and I stated that I can't balance it because you provide me with misinformation.
The odd thing is I was never charged an overdraft fee for any of the other red transactions he showed me, just this one. I repeated this endlessly because he couldn't explain it and stated, "he wouldn't own up to it."
It got heated and he became too stubborn to provide any customer service. I asked why the phone representative offered half back and the branch nothing, he said that the bank again, "wouldn't own up to this mistake." and they would provide more customer service then a branch would. Really?
Long story short, be careful. They are playing games with what they make available to you online. They use their own transaction sequence to justify overdraft fees. I can see class action all over this. I am glad I printed out a screen shot. It clearly doesn't show negative until they pull the fee. And please don't yap about overdraft protection. My balance was left this low intentionally. Also their protection involves either getting a Wells Fargo credit card or getting a Wells Fargo savings account. You can only protect it with a Wells Fargo product. Go figure.

Lots of luck with a class action lawsuit - I don't believe you will prevail.
It is widely known that web ledgers are not accurate enough to used to take the place of a ledger. What the bank CSR advised you is correct - keeping a paper ledger is the only foolproof way to avoid an overdraft, if your balance is kept near 0.
These days, interest rates are so low I leave more of a buffer than usual in my account. It makes life a lot easier, not worrying that the bank will whack me for not watching my balance. It's like Russian Roulette.
Most banks order transactions as you describe.
Susan on 06/19/2013:
Once you authorize a transaction a financial institutition can take it out of your account in any order and at any time they please. It is your responsibility to ensure you have enough funds to cover the transaction. If you wait until the transaction is pending and then run to the bank to make a deposit you are gambling which means sometimes you win and sometimes you lose.
mushapa on 06/19/2013:
I never said I would do a class action, but it can lead to one. The problem is that their ledger does not reflect the ledger I see on my account. Why is that?
It is not widely known that web ledgers are not accurate. Maybe if your in the industry. They brag how real time they are so that is misleading about their accuracy isn't it?
Ignorant to this either way, does not justify the misrepresentation they are providing me on my web screen.
Secondly, why was I not charged for the other negative balances.
There is a flaw with their system, therefore they should return my $35 and provide a little customer service. I just don't understand why they resist so much and can't even acknowledge that there may be even maybe an issue. Because if they return my money they have owned up to the problem and will lead to that class action I am talking about.
In this digital world a paper ledger is obsolete. By passing on the responsibility to the customer the bank can use these tactics to once again rip customers off.
Nazrider on 06/19/2013:
The issue is your poor bookkeeping practice. Why are you using your checks or debit card with a balance near 0? How is it the banks fault that you keep running out of money and have to run down and add more? How about this. Don't write a check or use your debit card unless you are sure you have more than enough funds to cover the cost. Its not the banks fault, its yours. don't spend it if you don't have it. the web interface is a convenience by the bank to keep you informed, not the actual lawful ledger the bank uses. keep in mind if you go in after 3pm and deposit money it may not credit till the following day. morale of the story, never let your balance hover near $0. always have a buffer.
CU on 06/19/2013:
It is not the bank's obligation to tell you when you need to deposit money. It is YOUR obligation to ensure that the funds are in the account before you spend them. If the transaction is pending, and the account cannot cover it, you ARE overdrawn and they are within their rights to impose a penalty.
Try a credit union, you will find them kinder and gentler, but even there you play a dangerous game, and if you get the fee, you earned it.
mushapa on 06/19/2013:
I agree that I was playing a game. And I need to remind people that it was intentional to be at a zero balance, that is no ones business but mine. But I digress, I was playing with the system, agreed, but I was playing by their rules, not mine. So it is in my right to deposit when transactions are pending, in accordance to their rules.
When a transaction is pending it is not posted, it is therefore not spent. It is my obligation, like you stated CU, to ensure funds are in the account, and that is exactly what I did. The account was always able to cover pending transactions. Always.... I have it documented.
NazRider, you stated it yourself. "the web interface is a convenience by the bank to keep you informed, not the actual lawful ledger the bank uses." Its not informing. How can I beat it through any further, Its not accurately informing me of anything....apparently. And doesn't any one find it suspicious that their customers are not provided the "lawful" ledger, nor given a chance to back log transactions at their convenience?
Susan, Wells Fargo has already been in trouble for sequencing transactions. And that is not what I am talking about.
Why has no one addressed the issue of previous overdrawn transactions never getting a fee when I saw it in the "lawful" ledger?
And yes, I have a credit union already, thank you.
nazrider on 06/19/2013:
you are given a legal ledger. its called a statement. you use it to balance your books to insure you have money in the account. but you mentioned you are playing a game. so this is moot. you play games sometime you lose. you like to hover around $0 its your business. but don't complain when you roll the dice and lose.
mushapa on 06/19/2013:
When I see the statement in the next week I will keep you posted. At this point it is their ledger vs. the one they provide me online along with my receipts and paper work.
Susan on 06/19/2013:
You admit you were playing a game and are upset that you lost. As previously stated, it is your responsibility to have enough money for all debits you authorize at the time you authorize them and it shouldn't make any difference the order in which they are paid. The fact that you intentionally ran a zero balance and didn't make a deposit until the transaction showed as pending says it all - again - you gambled and lost.
cwazychicklett on 06/19/2013:
Wells fargo is bad. some banks allow deposits by 3pm if overdraen but some do not......that is a risk.
bcd on 06/20/2013:
You cannot rely on the online banking service because it does not include outstanding transactions. You must maintain a check register or you will continue to overdraft your account. Pay regard to the voices of experience that have commented on this thread or you will continue to overdraft your account.
Banks attribute 60% of their revenue to overdraft fees. It's up to you if you want to continue to contribute to their revenue or enjoy the luxury of free checking.

Hate ya

When I was 19 years old, I was a teller for Wells Fargo. I opened my very first checking account with them. I had to close it when I moved out of state. Mind you, this was way back when before they bought up every bank that BOA or Chase didn't. When I moved back, I got another account with them. Then I moved out of state again and had to close that account. They bought Norwest bank about 14 years ago, so lo and behold, I'm a Wells Fargo customer for the third time.
They've made plenty of money off my money along with fees and the like. Even when they made a mistake that caused problems for weeks on my account, and even though it cost me more time than I can quantify to get their mistake corrected, I stuck with them. I've had auto loans and credit cards with them. And they decided yesterday that they no longer wanted my business.
I called in to get my account balance and it transferred me to a representative right away. She saw a hold on the account and gave me a number to call. I called that number and talked to apparently the most abused customer service representative of all time. She went off on me like I just shot her dog when I made the grave error of asking why. I had two deposits off my credit line that were returned. There was a mixup in posting payments on the credit line, so the deposited checks were returned, but when they were redeposited, they went through. But no, Ms. Thang said the decision to close my account was FINAL. I told her I had a direct deposit coming in. She said she would remove the block to allow that in and then put the block back on so I could have no access to that money or the other money in my account, or she could leave it on and my employer could give me a paper check. I told her to keep the block on since I really didn't understand how she thought having them hold my paycheck hostage after they summarily dismissed me was a convenience for me.
So today I check the account, and guess what. They allowed the direct deposit to post. So now I have to wait 10 business days for them to send me a check. I also have yet to receive this letter they allegedly sent advising me of the closure of my account with any kind of explanation that I can comprehend.
Yes, they can close my account at any time for any reason. If they really thought there was something goofy going on, they could have called me. They've done it before. But I guess since I haven't bounced a bunch of checks in the last few months and I paid off my car loan, I'm of no value to them anymore-never mind the last 20 years I've been with them.
Luckily I have a credit union account that, for some reason, I just never used but they kept open for me. I always knew it was there in the back of my mind but never thought I'd need it.
So long, Wells. I just wish I'd dumped you first.

Can I get an Amen! I switched to our local credit union 12-yrs ago and have never looked back. I stopped receiving insane overdraft charges, which they won't tell you about until the end of the month, by which time you've accumulated several hundred dollars worth of charges. I had the hardest time in the world closing my father's account when he passed away. Even with the death certificate in hand, they continued to hassle me. Monopolies like them make me sick. I have nothing but love for the local credit union fella's!

Don't know if anyone is even reading this anymore, but those morons at Wells Fargo rejected my direct deposit, which was just fine, then reposted it, which is not just fine. When I called to find out what exactly they were doing I got the same rep I dealt with the first time who refused to let me speak with anyone else and was completely rude and interrupting me nonstop. I hate this bank.
Anonymous on 05/04/2010:
A-T-T-O-R-N-E-Y, or do I need to spell it out? Oh, wait, I did! Stop letting this one individual bully you. If not the lawyer, then go to the bank in person and ask to see the branch manager. Unless the jerk dealing with you IS the branch manager. If so, refer to 1st sentence.
skelly39 on 05/04/2010:
I think I'm going to do that J4A. I work next to the branch so I'm going over there to find out what they can do now. This is theft.

Fraudulent overdraft fee!
Posted by
NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE -- Wells Fargo charged me a $35 overdraft fee for a withdrawal of $700. I made the withdrawal at the branch, so you'd think the teller would have informed me if I didn't have that much in my account! (I also checked my online statement before making the withdrawal.)
The shortfall happened because of another charge that went through that night. It was an automatic donation to a charity that shouldn't have gone through -- I had already arranged for the organization to get automatic payments from my new credit union account. I have asked the org to refund the money to my WF account. But the overdraft fee was attached to the $700 branch withdrawal, due to WF's bizarre practice of having charges "go through" in a different order than they happened in real life. This will make it harder for me to get the fee cancelled, even if the charity refunds my money. And, it's inaccurate! I shouldn't be charged a fee for withdrawing money in a branch, when the teller can see that money is in my account.
The customer service representative I spoke to was very rude. She kept patronisingly explaining that both charges "went through" the next day, and that the teller who processed my withdrawal "didn't know" that the money wasn't actually in there (which it actually was!). If Wells Fargo doesn't know what's happening with my money, perhaps they shouldn't charge me overdraft fees to use it? Also, I told her that I had already planned to close down my account because I've been unhappy with the service I have received. She didn't seem concerned, & didn't even give me a token "I'm sorry."

I don't think the teller could see that you were having money automatically taken out that night. This isn't the teller's fault
trmn8r on 12/09/2011:
In the first instance you say the teller should have been able to see the money wasn't in your account, and shouldn't have given it to you.
Then you state that the teller saw the money WAS in your account, so you shouldn't be charged an overdraft fee.
Seems to me nobody except you knew that the automatic withdrawal may be processed sometime that day or evening. It isn't necessarily visible to the teller, and may very well not be. Bottom line is you need to keep your account positive while anticipating all electronic transactions that may occur. I don't want to know exactly how all this is processed in order to avoid a fee - I keep a buffer in my account in case I forget about something.
clutzycook on 12/09/2011:
I know it won't help you with the OD fee, but couldn't you have just taken the money from your CU account and put it in your WF account? It probably would be faster than relying on a charity (or a for-profit business, even) to get you your refunded money quickly.
At Your Service on 12/10/2011:
My guess is that, if the account is on such a tightrope that it's that near being overdrawn, they don't have a great deal to lose be having said account closed. Unfortunate but true.

On-line fraud not as dangerous as Wells Fargo's fees....
Posted by
Earlier this year (2010) I started noticing withdrawals or charges being made to my checking account by someone in Chicago, IL (my account was open in Orange County, California and I now live in Detroit, MI). Since I review my checking account daily I didn't hesitate and called into Wells Fargo and they recommended I close that account and open up a new one to avoid any further fraudulent activity and that they would be closely monitoring my account for any further suspicious activity. That being said, a few days later I recheck my on-line account and see that more charges had been made to that original account from Chicago and that the account hadn't been closed and, sadly enough, Wells Fargo wasn't monitoring my account as they indicated they would be.
Placing another set of calls and after being on hold for over an hour and a half to get to the right individual, the on-line fraud prevention department again recommended I close that account (which I had already done, but was told it had been reactivated by me at a branch.....which is impossible because there are no branches in Detroit Michigan for me to even think of going to one). That being said, they reclosed that account and sent me a letter of apology indicating to me that they had made a mistake during their merger with Wachovia and the problem was resolved.
Well, a few months later, I come to find that Wells Fargo is trying to charge me a $15 monthly service fee on that original closed account that was closed twice (and which the customer service representative said I reactivated) because I am not making any automatic withdrawals to my savings account from that closed account. To add insult to injury, the customer service representative tells me that she can "kindly" reduce the charge to half since it was not my fault.
Not only that....all the automatic withdrawals I had set up to my original checking account overdrew my account during that transition phase since that "closed" account didn't have enough funds and the customer service reps angrily told me that it was my fault I had no money in the account (well, duh....the money had been transferred to the other new account). Should there not have been a 2 month transition period or a link between those two accounts to make sure automatic withdrawals that had been made for such a long time were covered? Especially because I'm told over the phone that the account number can't be disclosed and that I had to wait for my paperwork from the bank to arrive in the mail. How was I supposed to change automatic withdrawal account info without an account number? Nevertheless almost $100 in fees for Wells fargo's mistakes I had to pay ... and Wells Fargo gets off with an apology letter.
Horrible service and horrble system where the customer has to pay for the company's mistakes!

Sounds terrible. I hope you check your credit report often, as well. Sounds like a case of identity theft.

I hope you're switching banks.

Yeesh. I would look for a credit union nearby, and jettison Wells Fargo.

Human error - but they should have refunded all the fees since it clearly was something they did wrong.

Wells Fargo Terrible business practice, Screwed Me
Posted by
Recently, I found that I had fraudulent spending on my account. I called in to the fraud department and made a claim. The representative sent me in the mail a document to fill out entitled "statement of disputed check card item(s)" in which I was to write down the disputed charges.
In order to write down these items, I would need to view past statements, which is now impossible, because they closed my account (apparently this is standard for online banking customers). The only way to view is to have them sent to me, for a FEE. They are essentially making me pay money to prove that It was not me that made the charges....
Now, since the account went negative, they closed it, without telling me the account holder. Now one would think that the fraud department would work closely with the overdraft department because that many fraud cases make accounts go negative, however this is not the case. I have heard now from several managers that the departments DO NOT TALK TO ONE ANOTHER, do not share information, and are in effect separate entities. This is terrible business practice.
Since my account was deleted without my knowledge, my direct deposit (paycheck) was not "accepted" because it was sent to a now non existent account! What can they do for me? Put the check into a holding account, then wait several days to see if it can be re routed to my savings, or if it will be kicked back to my company, there is NO physical person working for Wells Fargo which can tell what the outcome will be. It is a role of the dice whether the transfer will work or whether the check will be kicked back.
So, they deleted my account, did not notify me, caused my paycheck to get thrown into limbo, then charged me to prove fraud on my account, despite the fact that I should have fraud protection. During this whole mess I had many employees speak authoritatively on subjects in which they had no first hand knowledge, and so essentially made up protocol and told me "this is how it is" only to speak to a supervisor later to find out that what I had been told was wholly incorrect.
It is a business fact that it takes 10 times more money to gain a new customer than it does to keep an existing customer happy. I will make it my personal project to derail as many potential customers as possible from this company. They are deceitful, ignorant of their own business practice, speak with authority on issues in which they have no real knowledge, have a business structure in which related departments essentially have no communication with each other acting as separate Enterprise, causing incredible confusion when an issue affects both departments.
I have never in all my years dealt with such an irresponsible company, terrible customer service, or ignorance of internal practice.

Don't Bank at Wells Fargo
Posted by
Don't open a checking account at Wells Fargo. If you fall on hard times they reorder transactions so that the highest transactions are first to maximize the overdraft fees that will charge you. We had $490 in overdraft fees in one day. They would not refund any of the fees. We had been selling stuff on eBay to buy food to eat. How can a company justify taking $490 to loan us $50 for less than 8 hours! If I worked for Wells Fargo I would be ashamed to go to work. The make their money on the backs of struggling families. Search "f*uck wells fargo" (use the quotes and spell the f word right) on Google and see how many times this phrase comes up! No bank even comes close to the number (20, 800) as Wells Fargo.

Of course this is just the way all banks do it. It has nothing with the customer falling on hard times. Never write a check that you know is not covered the moment you write it - difficult to do, I agree. Also, the NSF amounts are outrageous.
Weedwhacked on 05/07/2010:
All banks would do this. You overdrafted the account and falling on hard times gives you no reason to spend more than you have. Their terms clearly state that they can process transactions in any order they want to.
slcfamily on 05/10/2010:
We own a small business and because the way Wells Fargo and other banks fu*ked up the economy it has been a struggle for us the last year. We had utilities, health insurance etc. pulling payments out for convenience. The ACH debit that caused the problem was our health insurance. We have since stopped all of the auto payments until we have a more stable income. We don't think we should get a free loan but $490 to borrow $50 for 7 hours!!! You must work in the banking industry, no moral person would think this is fair and defend charges this high for this service. How much does it cost a bank to loan $50 for 7 hours? Just because it states this in the multi page contract you sign when you get an account does not make it moral. This is not moral, there will be a special place in Hell for bank executives that decided to charge this much for this service. Most people that get hit with these charges are people struggling to make it through this bank caused recession. If I worked for Wells Fargo I would be ashamed at how the company earned the money to pay me. We are closing our account with Wells Fargo and opening one at a local bank that has a soul.

Sorry, but you knew the terms and conditions when you signed the contract, it's called personal responsibility.
Don't work for a bank and never have. Work for myself and watch my expenses so I don't have to "kite" a payment. Kiting don't work anymore.
Anonymous on 05/10/2010:
"Their terms clearly state that they can process transactions in any order they want to." -- That's comical. So basically the terms don't state how transactions will be posted.
Not all banks post transactions from highest to lowest. Neither my local community bank or my wife's credit union does it that way.
My bank always posts deposits first and then transactions for a given posting day are posted in the order that they occurred. Simple and honest.
Do yourself a favor and join the grass roots movement of people leaving the big corporate banks in favor of local community banks. You'll get better terms, better service and your business will be appreciate.

Checking Account Practices
Posted by
I have had both checking and savings accounts with Wells Fargo for more than 10 years and have had problems with them from day one. I have always had direct deposit with them on a military payment I received the first of every month but they invariably post debits to my account before they post the direct deposit credits. I end up at the bank arguing with them to get them to take off the overdraft fees. I have deposited check in amounts of up to $15,000 and never had a hold put on them until now. I deposited a check on Monday for $18,600 garunteed funds (it was a life insurance policy surrender check) and they put a 14 day hold on the funds stating that the company may not honor the check. I really needed the funds available within 5 days - their only suggestion was for $1860 on money I deposited into my checking account and wanted to charge me interest on it. BEWARE of big corporate banks, they are out to screw you in everyway they can. They hold your money hostage so they can capitalize on it but don't want to give you access to it when you need it. Once they release the funds from my last deposit I won't be allowing them to capitalize on my hard earned money anymore.

This not only happens with big banks, but most banks will put a hold on a large check, despite the issuer. While it may seem, in concept, that a check from a large well known life insurance company is "good" there is no guarantee. The banking system has been inundated by scammers who issue fake checks - from cashier checks to company checks. They are protecting their depositors money and the company interest here.
Helpful on 09/16/2010:
Banks don't make their money on checking accounts. It's there as a service to their customers. There is no question as to the fact that many financial institution have these policies in place to stop check kiting.
Obsfucation on 09/16/2010:
Checks greater than $5,000 almost without exception trigger a hold, and especially insurance checks. They are actually drafts, not checks, and until they are processed back to the insurance company, and the insurance company is satisfied that you have signed away your claim, they can be revoked.
MotleyCrueGuy on 01/30/2011:
Insurance checks are NOTORIOUS for being returned, often due to stop payment or not being endorsed properly - hence the hold. There probably isn't a bank on the planet that would have done differently here.
There's no magic button that says a check from another bank is good, either, so they just have to wait.

Wells Fargo: OD Fee Scrooges
Posted by
I give Wells Fargo a "Terrible" for holiday spirit (and general fairness). My account history was flawless until last week when I bounced a check. It was my fault - I'll take the hit. However, the combination of some smaller transactions already in the system and deducting the OD fees, it ballooned into $245. I had everything covered the next day. I called and asked very nicely if they could waive some of the fees, because $245 is excessive and goes far beyond the expense of covering my account for a day. I got a series of polite people telling me "No. The computer won't let me. That's just our policy." Well, now I have this nagging sense of injustice and I am venturing online to express my dissatisfaction until that feeling has been assuaged. Thanks for reading.

Ouch. That smarts. Most banks (I think) have a general policy of giving the customer back one or two of the fees one time. Not sure about WF.
Anonymous on 12/21/2009:
Even the credit unions, who used to give a fess back if you just asked, will now only rebate a single fee causedby a member error. Fee income used to be gravy fro financial institutions becaue they made their money lending. That isn't true anymore, the margin in lending barely covers operating costs, and those fees are now very important to survival.

Wells Fargo Scamming Consumers
Posted by
Wells Fargo is scamming consumers. I would like other people to be aware of what they are doing so they don't get taken advantage of like my husband and I.
In short, Wells Fargo sent us a promotional offer in the mail to open up a free checking account with them and receive a $50 bonus. I called over the phone and opened an account with them giving them the promotional code for the $50 bonus. They never deposited the bonus and when I contacted them about this they said I had to talk to the customer service representative that set up the account but I can't get him to return my calls, surprise. So I filed a complaint with the Attorney General and the Better Business Bureau. They responded to the BBB saying they are unable to determine the promotion requested and they have not given me my $50 bonus. I gave them all the information that was on the mailer as it stated to do. They are the ones that sent this offer to me and now they done know what I am talking about even when I have provided them with the promotional code as it stated to do on the mailer.
Wells Fargo offered me a promotion to open a checking account and now they won't honor it. I find this very upsetting for me as a consumer to have Wells Fargo use a bait and switch marketing scam to get customers and I feel consumers need to be aware so they don't fall victim to this same scam.

I had a job interview with Wells Fargo a year or so ago for the position of 'Sales Manager' and I do admit they seemed really shifty. I definitely wouldn't trust them with my money after that encounter. (VH).

When opening up an account, wouldn't it be better to go in person so that these issues could be resolved then?
Jacquelyn on 09/08/2009:
People can't always get to an actual bank. I live in a small town so Wells Fargo is a good trip for me. I only opened the account to make it easier to pay my mortgage since they service it.
laklisa on 09/08/2009:
Did you keep the letter offering the promotion? Perhaps you can go to a local branch with that letter and talk to a manager there.
Jacquelyn on 09/08/2009:
I did keep the promotional mailer. I have talked to Wells Fargo about this and they said that they can't do anything for me that I have to call the 800 number. They are just trying to scam consumers.
PepperElf on 09/08/2009:
Though to be honest, if I was opening a bank account, I'd be more apt to pick one I can physically go to. Though, granted with moving issues that's not always the case...
Anonymous on 09/08/2009:
If you have a Wachovia anywhere near you, you can make your Wells Fargo mortgage payments there. The merger isn't complete yet, but you can use their (Wachovia) ATM's to make withdrawls without getting the $2.00 fee and make payments to your mortgage via Wachovia.

Wells Fargo Steals Cash Deposit
Posted by
LACROSSE, WISCONSIN -- Saturday, made a cash deposit inside the main bank. Tuesday, check bank and account not credited. Go to Bank and talk to teller, teller says the Saturday teller transposed a number. Account gets credited. Thursday, check bank and account debited. Call Wells Fargo. Customer care tells me I have to file a "lost money" report to get my account credited.
I don't want to go to the bank and make a claim, I would rather make a Police Report. This has cost me a lot of time.
Banks have cameras. If I stole money from a bank, I would be put in federal prison. I consider this a theft and Wells Fargo has access to my money while I do not.
I'm trying to contact as many sites as I possibly can because you should be able to trust the bank to deposit your money correctly.
Consumers should charge banks underdraft fees like bank charges overdraft fees.

Do you have a receipt of your deposit? This and/or security camera footage of you making your deposit would prove your case.
Go ahead and file the police report.
Anonymous on 05/07/2009:
All you need to do is go in with your receipt. When this happens, something else is out of balance, and they are generally already looking to find out where the money belongs. You might also check the receipt to make sure it hs your account number on it (as much as display of it). The receipt also has a sequence number on it that will allow them to track exactly what happened.
jenjenn on 05/08/2009:
A receipt should clear this up. I always check my receipt to be sure the correct account number is on it. Called me paranoid...or maybe just broke. LOL.
Anonymous on 05/08/2009:
Good advice Jen, the only thing is that because so many people were careless about leaving that receipt lying around, that most FIs have stopped putting the account number on it, or they are masking the number. However, the very fact that you have the receipt should do the trick for you.

If you follow the process they outline you would have your money by now. The people that work at the bank are human just like you and I am sure you have made a mistake or two in your life. This doesn't mean they are out to get you or that they want to steal your money. Just take your receipt in fill out the claim and get your money. Easy as 1 2 3.

There will be 2 anesthesiology sessions running concurrently: "The Basics & Beyond" and "Advanced Anesthesia Monitoring & Analgesic Techniques". Participants will be allowed to switch between the two session tracts throughout the day for a customized CE experience.
Anesthesia: The Basics and BeyondThis veterinary technician conference focuses on the basics of the anesthesia and analgesia, from premedication through to the recovery period. Attendees will learn about a wide variety of anesthetic and analgesic drugs and how to make the best choices for each patient. They will also gain a wealth of knowledge about anesthetic machines and monitors, which they will be able to take back to their veterinary clinics. Participants will learn the physiology and dynamics behind appropriate pain assessment and how to incorporate top-notch analgesic techniques into their everyday cases. This conference is designed to help veterinary technicians build on their current knowledge base and improve the level of care they provide at their veterinary practices. Although both the general practitioner and the technician may register for this program, the course content is taught at a technician level.
Advanced Anesthesia Monitoring & Analgesic TechniquesThis veterinary technician conference focuses on going beyond the basics of anesthesia and analgesia. Attendees will take an in-depth look at the physiology and practical usage of several advanced monitors. Participants will leave with an understanding of capnometry, mechanical ventilation, blood gas interpretation and invasive cardiovascular monitoring. They will also learn the latest in pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical analgesic techniques, intra-and post-operative analgesia, and exotics anesthesia. This conference is designed to move veterinary technician anesthetists to an advanced level when providing care at their veterinary practices. Although both the general practitioner and the technician may register for this program, the course content is taught at an intermediate-advanced technician level.

SARATOGA, N.Y. -- The Saratoga First Night celebration just got a lot louder. The fireworks display at the New Years Eve event in the City of Saratoga is back on. Saratoga Arts made the announcement on Thursday after canceling the Congress Park display amid staffing, budget and safety concerns earlier this week.
Since then, local business leaders have stepped up, helping to raise about $10,000. That money will be used to pay for additional security, fireworks and logistical planning. This year's theme is Explore the Night, with organizers urging people to come out to see or hear something they haven't before. Last year, there were 35 venues and 70 music, comedy, and art events.
