Right now I am currently unemployed and I am collecting unemployment. There are hunderds of thousands of people in the same position that I am in. Collecting unemployment is helping pay our bills, but it's not covering everything because of how it varies per person.

Right now I collect a small sum per week. I've been looking for work since I lost my job back in March 2012. What I get is enough to cover gas and food. It's like this for a lot of Americans who lost their jobs for a wide variety of reasons.

Today, I received an email from Wells Fargo saying they are making changes to their Essential Checking. This currently a FREE checking account that I have had opened since I was 16 years old. I'm 23 now. Over the years I have been in and out of jobs. I had depression, ADHD and social anxiety. Just recently I started getting help for it since my job let me go when I had a panic attack and they didn't want to wait for me to see a doctor.

With Wells Fargo making the change on August 7th to charge those who can't maintain a balance of $1,500 or direct deposits equaling $500 or more in a statement cycle. It's going to hit the home pretty hard for a lot of us. This is unacceptable and they should reconsider their efforts.

They plan to charge a $5 monthly service fee. A monthly fee for what? To hold my money that I have earned or am receiving because of a situation that I am in? To allow me access to seeing just how much I have online? To check my email for balance updates?

If they can't afford to offer their services, maybe they should stop offering those services. Not charge people $5 a month if they don't meet a specific requirement. Not charge people $5 a month which adds up over time. For some of us, $5 is a lot.

I'm starting this campaign to end the banks attempt to nickel and dime loyal and new members to death. I'm starting this campaign to make a change and reverse the policies that many banks are starting to fall into. I'm starting this campaign because I, like many Americans, can't afford to keep a bank account open if they went through with this plan.

Please help me change Wells Fargo's mind on their policy changes. Please help set an example so that other banks will go back to the way things used to be. Free checking accounts available to everyone.
