Congressional attention on overdraft fees may leave consumers worse off in the long run, especially since consumers place a far stronger emphasis on maintenance fees than overdraft fees when choosing a checking account, as confirmed by a new poll conducted by MoneyRates.com in conjunction with personal finance site GetRichSlowly.org.
