I need to get this out in the open about how US bank is ripping off hard working people like me. I have been a US bank customer about 12 years and they have ripped me off for the last time. Last Thursday I checked my account online for the balance and it showed $-7.00 dollars because of three transaction from earlier in the week so on Friday I went into the bank and deposited $20.00 to stay current.

While in the bank I asked the teller if I would be okay and not get any overdraft fees and she stated that my account was not charge yet for the $-7.00 or for the three other transactions and I would be fine because I deposited $20.00 dollars and I had a balance of $13.00 that would cover the three transactions showing.

I then checked my online account saturday and there was two more charges from earlier in the week, I ran to the bank and deposited $110 check and then $170.00 cash by the ATM. My account showed the deposits and it looked like I was in the positive but it already showed three overdraft fees of $35.00 each. On Monday I looked at my account and it showed two more overdraft fee of $35.00 even with the deposits. Then came Tuesday and I was charged two more overdrafts of $37.50 plus a negative change of $24.00 total ripp off of $274.00.

I am going to my credit union because when you use your debit card the money comes out of your account immediate not four days later. Stay away from US bank they are scheming on hard working people who live paycheck to paycheck.

So there is 600 dollars in my account and 5 pending transactions on Monday.

I rent a car on Wed. and they authorize for more than the available balance.

3 transactions go through Thursday and accrue 3 overdraft charges that amount to over 100 dollars in fees... even though the actual transactions occurred days before the car rental and even as I write this, there is enough money to cover them as the car rental and the other 2 pending transactions from before the car rental still have not cleared. In the end I anticipate that because the car rental was so cheap but they authorized for so much more than it actually costed, I'm going to have over 200 dollars in fees but my actual balance will never have actually gone into the negatives EVEN AFTER THE FEES.

So thats right, at the end of the day there is enough in my account to cover the actual transactions AND the fees that are apparently being charged because "there wasn't enough money" WITHOUT ever actually going into the negatives.

About 3 months ago I started making a good deal of transactions between my bank, pay pal, and various other sources. A couple slight errors were made but were quickly fixed with a simple phone call, and a little conversation. The bigger problem started a month ago.

I had sent $45, to my pay pal, to purchase some items for resell. The money never went to pay pal, instead seemingly vanished. The same evening, I used my bank card for another online transaction for $8, and a second for $5. Over the next couple of days, the payments were authorizing, which I was used to when checking my online account. I also keep a bank record of my own, but I enjoy the convenience of knowing when my payments went through so that I can anticipate my packages arrival date.

About a week later, I had received no shipping confirmation, and emailed the companies I made my purchases from to make sure the order had not been canceled by mistake. Both companies informed me that they had not received the money from my bank, and thus assumed I had not sent payment yet.

I called the bank the next day, and they told me that they did not send the money. I was confused because it was taken out of my account which they clarified themselves. They said they would correct it and I was content for the moment.

I checked my account online again the next day, and noticed that I had been overdrawn, and couldn't understand why. I again called, and they explained they mistakenly took the money out of my account, and sent it again. Only they couldn't figure out where they put it, and it appeared that it had just been deleted. They said they would put the money back, send the original sum to the companies it needed to go to, and wave the overdraft fee. Fair enough, I let the bank do their job, and hoped for the best.

I received an email from one of the companies a few days later, stating they still had not received payment. Once again I made a call to the bank, this time I received the same amount of help I would have gotten from from a fallen tree gathering moss. I asked her if the funds could be put back into my account, since it was never sent to the destination at hand, and simply taken out of my account. She told me no, and I quote 'we do not make practices of reimbursing funds, and it is not our affair.'

I went to the main branch to close out my account, with a little over $7 in it, since they did not put all the money back that they said they would. They then informed me that they had frozen my account, and I could still close it out for a fee of $25, plus the overdraft fees, that 'THEY' caused.

So now I have paid twice for things I will never get, and no one is the wiser of exactly where the money ended up, and I have a bank account that I can't use.

I received overdraft charges (4 of them) on my account and I called to question them about it because according to the on-line account there was money in the account.

When I called the bank to talk with them about it, the first person pushed me off to someone else since she was already helping someone and this person was very abrupt and rude when trying to address this problem.

He tried to explain to me that the overcharges occur because of a transaction after 9 pm on the fourteen of december, even though my account balance showing on line was sufficient to cover the amount I purchased. I had a direct deposit that went in the morning of the next day, yet the overdraft charges were posted for the 16th of december. When I brought this to his attention, he said they were pending on the fourtenth. If that is the case, why didn't they show up on my account as such.

They have a sign that says all transaction after 3p will be posted to the next day, yet when I asked him about that he said it only applied to only in-bank transactions. Is this not falsely misleading the public.

Also, if the charges that I am being charged overdrafts for are listed on the 16th how can they legally charge me overdrafts saying they were cleared on the 14th? What kind of business are they running.

I will be pulling my business from there and looking else where. This is some scam they got running.

I opened a 'free' cking account with US Bank early this year. In April, I DID make a small error, which I admit, and my ck, acct was overdrawn by approx. $40, however, I was not aware of that fact for a week, and sent out several small checks (less than $20/ea.) US Bank charged me $35 for the 'mistaken' ck, then charged me $35 for all the small charges and cks, one was for $3!!. When I brought my payck to deposit, and receive money back for food, etc. the teller said I was now overdrawn by $175.00, and could not receive money back. All attempts to talk common sense to the Branch manager was like talking to a brick wall, they wanted the 175 PLUS $7 day. I explained that I realized I made an error, and was willing to pay the $35, but not for the other very small cks, which the bank put through AFTER the larger one, so that they could collect fat fees, all with a $35 fee . Several E-Mails and phone calls resulted in nothing, now US Bank has turned my acct over to a collection agency, with a price tag of $685!! This from an original overdraft of only $40!! DO NOT deal with US Bank!!
