After my entry the other day about the credit union that charged a $2 fee for pulling up to the drive-through without your arm hanging out the window ready to lob your pre-prepared envelope through the slot, people asked me: "Ed, was that your own credit union?" The answer is "nope." I heard this from Amy Reinink of the Gainseville (FL) Sun, and now that she has written her story, Bank fees growing more numerous and expensive, I can let Amy tell you the name of the CU and a little bit more:

First, Sun State Credit Union charged Gainesville resident Karen Soesbe $2 for coming in more than four times a month. Next came the charge for not having her transaction slip ready at the drive-through window. When Soesbe was charged for not using the credit union's telephone banking system, she decided to fight back, sending an angry letter to the credit union's president and filing a formal complaint with the National Credit Union Association.
