Seeing all the complaints about US Bank actually makes me feel better; at least I'm not alone! I feel justified in my loathing for this bank. I can't explain the whole problem because it's not my account. My son saved all his money in college for a two month trip through Europe. I told him to get a new bank before he left but he wouldn't listen. He overdrew on his account; he's using ATM machines. The infamous "white postcards" started coming to the house. I called the bank but they wouldn't talk to me! I begged them to help me straighten out the account. I couldn't get a hold of my son. Also, some of these charges were from weeks before that were just being processed. The postcards kept coming despite putting $800 in the account; the fees were wiping out our desposits. They were charging fees on the fees! I called again and told them I was my son. Still got nowhere. They told me I had to go to an office. The office is in Milwaukee. (Marquette University in Milwaukee allows this "Sopranos" organization on their campus. Maybe Marquette is getting a cut) We've now put in $2300 in hopes that this will come to an end. I can't even get my mail; I'm afraid the postcards will cause me to lose it all over again. What an awful, awful company. How do they live with themselves. Please write your represnetatives to support Rep. Carolyn Maloney (NY-14), a senior member of the House Financial Services Committee and author of overdraft fee reform in the last session of Congress (H.R. 3449). People who make honest mistakes shouldn't be punished like this.
