I am getting ready to close my checking account and credit card with BB&T. I have been unsatisfied with their banking services for a long time, but what they did this time is unbelievable. I deposited a check from a government agency on a Friday and made four payments after Tuesday. They sent me a letter the following Friday saying that my deposit would take five business days to become available.
On Saturday, I received in the mail a notice of non-sufficient funds charging me an overdraft fee of $140. This is the most ridiculous situation I have seen in my life. These people are charging me a $140 overdraft fee when the money was already in the account and the check came from a government agency. This is a clear example of fraud in our banking system.
