Which account is the best

Dad was on Classic checking which means when you don’t met the daily balance minimum than you get charged with services fees. I call was to make sure I was doing the bill pay correct and not causing myself trouble with finding out geee you really can’t do this. Bill pay isn’t hard to use with my bank Associated it actually quiet simple and not hard at all. I wanted to make sure dad medical bills would be taken from his account and not mine.
I spent a little time explaining to her what I was wanting to do. She made sure I got it right. Now I do not want to see dad being charged services fees at all. I like my advantage checking account because I can get OD Protection and save on the OD fees this has helped me. I been trying to put in 25 every paycheck into saving. I am going to continue trying to do that. My husband wants me to open dad a saving account also I need to make sure I can handle doing that first I already have 3 accounts to keep straight.
To bad Associated Bank does not offer debt consolidationI could really use some help with dad and me and hubby. I am not planning on throwing dad debt in with ours because the simple fact is I can not offord to pay his many debts. The customer service person from Associated Bank did a great job at answering my question. When I had hung up with her I thought dad would end up with classic checking, but she called me back after doing some looking into and told me it might be best to also put dad on advantage checking. I am glad she called back and told me what she had found out. It helps to know I can trust my bank when I call them with questions and get the wrong answer.
