At the time, I had many customers calling back saying everything was working fine after contacting their financial institution and sorting it out. You have to specifically mention $0 authorization charges or else their customer service won't know what you're talking about.

Now this may not be the same issue everyone is having, but it doesn't hurt to call and find out.
It isnt. we assure you.
