so i went to a chevron station located at 2500 Highway 52 E, Pelham, AL 35124 and used my debit card and bought $37.00 worth of gas. later in the day my wife called me and asked me what i spent $125.00 on in pelham this morning.i told he i only got $37.00 of gas. i told her to call the bank and she did and way told that at the same time i bought gas a $125.00 charge was also place on my debit card. the lady says it happens all the time with chevron.well we didnt have enough money in our account for an extra $125.00 to be take out and if we bounce some bill im suing this chevron.the lady at the bank said to come in and fill out some paper work for fraud and they will dispute the charge. i will never spend a dime at a chevron gas station for as long as i live.

Do NOT use your debit card to buy gas...

Almost ALL stations place a temporary hold on a dollar amount to be sure THEY get paid if you use your card some more and are short of funds. It is NOT an actual debit, but does affect funds availability until the charge clears.
I don't understand why the "lady at the bank" said "it happens all the time at Chevron" and "come in to fill out some paperwork for fraud. This is extremely innacurate, ill-advised advice.
When you move to a different brand of gas and use your debit card there, they will almost certainly place a hold for an amount they feel necessary to guarantee payment. Use your CREDIT card.
What are you going to sue Chevron for? Nothing illegal or unethical is being done.
