I am getting more and more fed up with the fees being charged for everything to do with money. Several of my creditors have the audacity to charge me a fee for PAYING THEM! Ten, twelve, even fifteen bucks for a "convenience fee" when you pay using the automated phone system or online. No human operator involved, I'm doing all the work. If I send a check, which will have to be opened, read, and input by a clerk, there's no fee. They're charging me for the privilege of doing a clerical job that they'd otherwise have to pay someone to do!
