I am outraged that Bank of America will not bend one inch on the fact that I was charged $280 within a span of 6 days for $35 overdraft fees. I know that people have written that they have been charged much more. But, for me, $280 is a lot of money. In this economy, I am scraping by on a little-more than minimum wage part time job and public assistance. $280 is like a brick of gold to me. What happened is that I got a medical diagnosis that week and had to see a number of specialists and was on medication - and for the first time - did not check my bank balance in a week, thinking I was covered for things. Then a some small regular charges came in, and all that week I was using my card at Grand Central Station for commuter tickets and they went thru despite 9what I late fond out) was that I had a negative balance. I could have corrected this immediately because I had a couple of checks I could have deposited. So, I found out my huge overdraft when I finally make a deposit. No officer in two branches would budge - and one lied to me, saying that there was a program online for people in economic hardship - but they are for people with no jobs.
What can be done about this? Is there any lawyer out there willing to supervise a class action lawsuit against this f - g bank?
