Up until about two weeks ago, I could withdrawal $1000 from three separate bank accounts. $300 each from my two B of A accounts and $400 from my local town bank account. Now, I can only withdrawal $100 total from my B of A accounts per 24 hour period and $200 from my local bank. I went from $1000/ day to $300/day. That is a 70% reduction in my ability to retrieve my money from the ATM. is anyone else seeing this phenomenon?......Glad I started pulling cash out 11 monts ago......

Never having used an ATM card in my life, I have to ask this question. What happens if you go to the drive up window and try and cash a $2000 or even a $1000 check? I am getting a lot of flak when doing that. Was told the other day that I cannot cash more than $2000 without calling ahead. Said they didn't keep that kind of money in the vault. That is BS. They get that much in deposits in the first hour of business. They just don't want to give you the money. And its hard to keep it out of the account as all our income comes in the form of checks, and out of state to boot, so has to be depositied. Lately I have been writing checks for everything and not spending cash, just to keep the acc't down. I know most of you wish that you had my problem, but it is becoming a real problem trying to convert and keep it all in cash.
