How To Stop Using Banks
This was my most disappointing Google search in recent memory:
how to stop using banks - Google Search
Nothing. Nada. Not a shred of data online about how to stop using banks. Resistance is indeed futile.
If anyone has information about how to stop using banks (why won’t creditors accept cash, is it not “legal tender”?) please send it my way. This would mean, how to stop using banks while incurring the lowest expense and least inconvenience.
I hate banks.

William Burroughs has a great piece on banks in, IIRC, “The Ticket that Exploded”. The gist of it is that banks are a mid-tier manifestation of Control, providing centralization of financial and personal information for the upper tiers.
The reason, incidentally, that creditors will not accept cash through the mail is that cash is untraceable, and there are too many points along the processing route that it can be disappeared by their employees, or simply lost in the mail. In theory, they should accept it, and really, have to accept it, if you are able to show up at their offices and pay in cash, get a receipt, etc. In fact, its a crime to refuse cash as a method of payment.

I could not agree with you more! I HATE BANKS! I got laid off and the credit union where I work knows this. Chescks were slow to start coming in. So far this year they have charged me $800.00 in NSF fees. Some of these fees were because the bank chose to hold checks till funds were low then hit me with a fee. I know this because the bills I paid in person (making sure the money WAS there; I had just deposited funds) with a check were electronic and I was told they would post immediatly; but NO, the bank waits till funds are low enough to hit me with a NSF fee, then they post. I am seriously thinking of pulling out of the bank, keep MY OWN MONEY, and just use Money Orders or Cashier Checks, they are a whole lot cheaper than $25 a pop for being 1 cent over.
I don’t know how they expect you to catch up when they keep setting you back. That $800 would have paid alot of bills for me.
THANK YOU for letting me sound off!
