Although many people with a bank account may have been hit with an overdraft fee at least once and might think it’s totally normal, several banks have allegedly engaged in improper practices when it comes to overdraft fees.
If your bank, credit union, or other financial institution has violated the terms of its customer agreement or has otherwise engaged in fraudulent practices when it comes to these charges, you may be able to pursue damages through an overdraft fee lawsuit.
In some cases, consumers may have been charged overdraft or insufficient funds fees for transactions even though funds were actually available. In some examples, banks collected multiple overdraft fees on individual transactions from checking and savings account customers – in fact, Bank of America had to settle a $410 million lawsuit for that exact alleged practice.
In other examples, some banking institutions were accused of reordering transactions on accounts; no matter what order in which the transactions occurred in one day, some banks processed the largest transactions first, resulting in extra fees for the customer.
