$23,148,855,308,184,500.00 Bill !?!

Imagine opening up your credit card bill and seeing $23,148,855,308,184,500.00. That is $23.1 Quadrillion. Sadly, Visa did not notice that their customer had spent so much money that they made the American Government look fiscally responsible (a hard feet indeed). They did note a negative balance and tacked on an extra $20 fee.

"Visa recorded a $23,148,855,308,184,500.00 purchase on Consumerist reader Dale's kid's prepaid Visa Buxx card: "My lectures about financial responsibility appear to have failed: yesterday she charged $23,148,855,308,184,500.00 at the drug store. ... The ever-vigilant folks at VISA added a $20 'negative balance fee,' and have suspended the card.""
