Fifth Third Bank
Overdraft Fees

Under the new debit card useage law, overdraft fees are not permitted on debit card purchases unless the customer decides to opt into the banks' overdraft protection service. Well, I had declined it.in that case, the $2.31 purchase I made should have been declined. Because the purchase was for gasoline (I was filling a gas can), the gas station pegged a $75 debit upon turning on the pump. So when I got my statement, I discovered $25 overdraft fee plus $8 a day account overdrawn fee totalling over $200! For a $2.31 transaction. Does anybody else—besides the bank—think this is fair? I didn't think so and attempted to reason with the bank—to no avail. I'm not paying it. They call and harrass me everyday. But I'm only agreeing to paying the $2.31. I feel I should owe nothing else and I'll be darned if I pay them their $200 fee.
