Overdraft charges because of idiocy on their part - not accountable - they seem to forget that we are the consumer. Disrespectful corporate bullies.

Yes, in the summer especially Echelon moved to a new system and fell way behind on billing. This made larger payments for some after months of payments were missed, which certainly bounced some of them. I certainly do hope it is improved now. In recent news, Echelon was actually just purchased by CAA insurance.

Statefarm jacked my motorcycle insurance rate way up, Chris got me a great rate with Echelon motorcycle insurance that was less than what I was paying with Statefarm! :D Seems like a great company but it took a while for me to get my paperwork from them in the mail. :( apparently they were backlogged this summer with all kinds of people loving the sweet rates!
