Due to some recent financial regulatory changes (according to 5/3) they needed to break out your overdraft account from your debit card account. Well after they made this change they started charging $99 per overdraft card use to my account which totaled almost $900 in one week. 2 weeks later I received a letter notifying me of the change but nothing regarding any change in fees associated with it. I called the Landen branch and asked that the fees be reversed. The guy there said, "It's not going to happen, when you signed your signature card back in 1991 opening your checking account you agreed to any fees we want to assess to you." I said I did not approve any of these fees and you cannot show anywhere that I agreed to these fees or that you communicated these fees to me. He said we don't have to proof it. I called a local personal finance radio program tonight and one of their guests suggested everyone that is experiencing this should spend $45 and file a suit in small claims court. I've got a feeling that once their lawyers are overwhelmed with suits they may rethink there method of trying to generate revenue and profits on all of their customer's backs!
