Given Enjoy's recent incident with Scotia Bank, I'd like to remind everybody to remember alway check your bills yourself. Countless mistakens have happened with the service providers in Canada, hope my experience will help others.

1. SIN
While you are anxiously waiting for 3-4 weeks for your first card in Canada--SIN card, it could eventually come with a wrong spelling. The stupid and careless mistake made by government staff who didn't bother to check again. So what happens next? You have to make a trip to HRDC, fill the form and wait for another 3 weeks, hoping this time they make it right!

2. Car Loan
With the current low interest, you feel you may as well pay off the car loan than having the money sitting in the bank. At lease you save the extra interest you pay for the car loan. So you made a lumpsum payment to pay off the loan. What happens next? To your surprise, the next monthly car loan payment still goes out of your account. Because the bank's machine is not smart enough to know the loan has been paid-off! (What computer genius they hired?!) Okay, now you called them and they promised to correct their mistakes. Instead of crediting to your bank account, they send you a cheque to the address on file, without checking with you to make sure it is the correct one. So the cheque goes nowhere? And they have to wait till the return of the first cheque before they can send you another one, even they know the cheque has NOT been cashed! When the bank gives you a loan, you pay interest from the right moment. When they take money from your account by mistake, they don't bother. Who bears the interest?

3. Bell Sympatico
I subscribed high-speed edition. As a package, I get 10 hours free dial-up monthly. But get charged if the usage time goes beyond 10 hours. Who needs that dial-up anyway! The bill came, the first month dial-up time was below 10 hours, no charge. Second month, it was 3x hours and I got charged for that extra. There is no way for me to have used that dial-up, not my family. And there is no way for me to disclose our pin! The only one who could know the pin is the service rep, believe it or not, they actually asked for your pin when you called them, not just the username! As a precausion, I changed my pin right away which stoped someone stealing my account. But I was going nowhere when I talked to Bell Sympatico, they only blamed me for letting other know my pin!

My list can go on and on, including Rogers, Bank of Montreal, CIBC, Bell telephone, Telus Mobility, Credit Card companies,Revenue Canada, etc, etc.
So do keep the gate yourself, you cannot rely on these bank staff or utility staff to do you justice.These people, like most Canadians, they don't care. They want just get over with one day's drop then they can sit in their backyard drinking Molson. Enjoy's case is rare and very unfortunate. But there could be a mistake on your bill, any minute.
Do check your bill before you put it away to collect dust.

Good luck!

如此说来,每个人都有一把血泪史
 
好的提醒,如果是中文的,看的人就更多了 :cool:
 
我的习惯是每天check银行帐号。以前不不这么做,自从TD从我帐户里莫明其妙地划走1000刀后,我就有这个习惯了。
 
在商店买东西也要仔细看好发票上的价目,出错是太经常了。Loblaws有条很好的规矩:当时检查出错账,在Customer Service可以找回差价;过一天后去找,还回整个错账的东东的钱,还让你白拿走那个东东作为赔礼 ;)
 
不用翻译啦,我来划分一下段落大意,提炼一哈中心思想
1,所有给你寄账单,能从你帐上划钱的都是贼,千万提防,
2,每天变换一哈password,
3,每半天check一哈你的balance,
4,每小时摸一哈自个儿兜里的钱包,是否硬硬的还在。

当年移民来第二天,去TD开户,就多划走了我一笔

我就享受过这服务,当时他们收错钱了,第二天拿去找,他们退了我全部的钱还把东西给我了,当时没主意,就是拿钱就走,回家才发现,还以为得个便宜,后来才知道他们的政策,也没沾什么便宜,就一香肠 :D

银行信用卡帐号一周查一次两次就够了,错了立刻打电话,同时写信给他们以示正式.
