“Predatory Fees, Unethical, Misinformed! Beware!”

written by GinaO001 on 23/08/2011

US Bank is the absolute worst, least ethical and predatory banks I have ever had the displeasure of having an account with. Their fees are hidden and exorbitant. Most of their staff gives misinformation which costs the customer and which they will not rectify. You could end up in real trouble if you are not constantly checking up on them.

I closed my account in June 2011 because I noticed they had been charging overdraft fees with no overdraft and no longer had free checking and would be charging for all checking accounts if certain criteria were not met. They told me I had to wait for the account to be closed because a $10.00 charge which was made a week ago had still not been paid by the bank! They did this to charge me the next month’s fee on keeping the account open.

After I closed my account, I was sent a letter for a $20.00 fee on .23cents of overdraft I was never informed of when I closed my account. I called and was told to disregard. I received a second letter with $40.00 in overdraft fees. I called to clear up the situation and asked the fees be waived since they had given me incorrect information. I was told nothing could be done and if I didn't pay it, more fees would be incurred. Stay away from this bank if you want a sound mind and your money safe.
