Unfair Bank Overdraft Charges Investigation
Halunen & Associates, a nationally recognized firm representing consumers in class actions, is investigating several banks operating in Minnesota for deceptive and fraudulent practices in charging overdraft fees. Banks commonly process withdrawals, checks and debits from your account according to dollar amount from highest to lowest instead of in the order received. This often results in customers getting charged one, or even several hefty overdraft fees for very small purchases. In some instances, a few $2 purchases can end up costing a customer more than $100 in overdraft fees.
Some of the banks that engage in this process include Wells Fargo, Bank of America, TCF Bank and Bremer Bank. If you have been subjected to overdraft fees by your bank your legal rights may have been violated. If you or anyone you know has been subjected to these fees, please do not hesitate to call our offices toll free at (866) 523-8533 or fill out a contact form.
