US Bank

I am disable and I had $ 578 in the bank.

US bank change their policy to every week add $ 500 and/or to have minimum $ 1500 monthly.

Not only that, but they me charged twice. First for not having above $ 1500 a month for $ 8.95, then for not having a account with them any more for additional fee of $5 for cashing/closing the account. In the sum of 13.95 I lost in the bank in a month.

They are the thieves. Synonymous US bank/ thieves.

Do not use us bank! They are experts at taking your money for no reason! A few months back, after an overdraft fiasco, the bank “officer” I spoke with asked me if I wanted to sign up for overdraft protection by connecting my savings account to my debit card. I said “sure!” (Having just lost $150 in overdraft fees it sounded like a good idea). Here’s the catch … for every item that comes through your account the day the “overdraft protection” kicks in they charge you $5.00! To use your own money! I was never told there was any charge whatsoever. Where is our protection from such scams, I ask?

I have been trying to refinance due to a divorce and high interest rates, my home value dropped 20 thousand so I am upside down. My interest rates are above 7% and the other 2nd is 9%. If I was able to refinance my ex would be able to get a loan to pay off the 2nd which in the devoice decree is considered the property settlement and his reasonability. I am not asking for any other money just to lower my rate. I plan to live in the home for at least 12 more years. My divorce decree states I have to stay in Washington school district till my youngest is out of school he started kindergarten today. I have been in the home for 13 years. They have given me so many contradicting reason why they have not been able to refinance or loan re modification.

I found a unauthorized charge on my child support card. I called the relia card number and they said it was a ATM with draw in California as I live in Oregon and worked the day my money was taken out at a ATM in California and I still had my card I started the process of disputed the charge. The dispute center sent me the forms I filled them out filed a police report and faxed all back to relia card. 3 days after I sent it I called them to ask where my money was they said they had five days to return it after they got my information. Finally I received the obey back. A month latter I receive papers saying there taken money back due to no response or papers from me. I called them to ask what's going on and no one can help due to not in my time zone and there 4 hours ahead of me. This I called us bank and the relia cards are not even a us bank product. This company is false advertising. They also scam all the hard workers and children out of money

I issued a stop payment on an automatic debit that was originally set up to help a family member who did not have a checking account. Two months ago I called US Bank to have these transactions stopped and after going back and forth between US Bank (they told me I would have to have the institution (Wells Fargo) that was withdrawing the money stop it) and Wells Fargo (they told me US Bank would have to issue the stop payment) and several phone calls to both banks, US Bank FINALLY told me they would issue a stop payment for six months. Well, lo and behold I find that the funds were taken from my account again yesterday. I called US Bank and was told there was nothing they could or would do about it because WF was using a different check number for each transaction. So I asked them why they didn't advise me at the time that I would need to issue a stop payment every month or at the very least close the account and open another if that was the case. Two months ago I was told that the stop payment would be good for six months! So far WF has been using consecutive check numbers but what if they just used any random check number... How would I know which check to stop payment on!?! What kind of SCAM is this? I'm going to immediately withdraw all my funds from US Bank and go somewhere else ... But not Wells Fargo. I'm also going to talk to an attorney. in the meantime I'm out the money because US Bank will not put the money back into my account even though their rep misinformed me.

So I send these freaks money in check form to settled long over due account and the accepted the check and never heard any thing else that was in 2006 when I sent then 898.30 and I get two phone call very short and then a litigation notice saying 20 years of bad credit and 5000.00 is what I will need to pay... Lol butt off I wrote a check sooo take that corp. Ne ways bam associates are the people trying to get the money from me now ugugggggg

Last week my sister, a single mother, dicovered that she was in huge overdraught trouble, even though funds had been available. yesterday US bank took 75% of my wifes paycheck for overdraft charges, In her case, funds should also have been available but were not, due to fraudulent accounting practices that are becoming the trade mark of US banks 5 star service (theft and conspiracy with a smile). I hope ex-employee wont waste his/her time telling me that everything is in order, 225 complaints on this sight alone regarding US bank, obviously indicate that very treacherous practices are afoot at US bank, probably due to it's impending collapse, and the 25% drop in it's stock value on the stockmarket in the last 6 weeks. I guess the fat cats are going to grab as much cash as they can before the inevitable collapse of this evil outfit.

I'm accustomed to US Bank not being the friendliest or most helpful. Yes, its annoying, but I deal with it... however today was over the top. I called to check my balance today and was surprised that there was more money in my account since yesterdsay. I requested to speak to a "customer service" rep and had the joy of speaking with someone named Erica. Right away I could tell she had a chip on her shoulder. She rushed through some half a**ed explination and when I tried to clarify what she said she began talking to me like I needed a helmet and padded room. She was incrediably condescending and rude. I eventually asked for her supervisor so she could see how to do her job with some class (I admit, I was upset!) And she kept arguing with me, saying that she can do her job and I just laughed and kept asking for her supervisore. This is when this idiot hung up on me. I did call back and left a message w/ her supervisor so we'll see if he's as "helpful" as his employee. God, I hate US Bank- I wish it was easier to switvh banks!

US Bank has continually run through charges largest to smallest regardless of what order they are presented in to the bank, so they can maximize the amount of overdraft charges. My account wouldn't be over draw physically. My available balance would be short because of "pings "for things that were returned or never purchased. Regardless I am getting charged for overdraft charges on things that could potentially run on my account. I feel like am held up by my own bank every month. When I tried talking to them about it I was told they were doing me a favor by paying my larger bills first. They admit that they do it, and I have the statements to prove it!

I believe there are millions of Americans that fall victim to the deceptive practices of US Bank every year as a result of their lucrative scam and rip-off schemes. And the biggest one which brings in more money than any other deceptive 'activity' is the overdraft scam. These imposters know how to rip you off your hard earned money and make you pay for the trust you put in them which is the biggest mistakes the American consumer makes. Like no other bank this bank knows when to attack you, steal your money and to make up an idiotic excuse, to make the client not the bank look like an idiot. The worst customer service or support anyone would find at any bank is at Us Bank. And just as someone already mentioned it on this site: the US Bank does not care about you, your personality or your business, all they care about is you money. To them no relations, friendship or loyalty is important. Only money. I learned it the hard way. I've had accounts with various banks here in America and across the ocean in Europe. Some were excellent, others fair. But one bank particularly stood out. One that never provided assistance when needed, never honored any written or spoken word, never treated me like a customer but rather like a bill printing machine, caused many disputes and stole money from my account in many deceptive ways. That ladies and gentlemen was US BANK. I never benefited from one single service they offered. Unlike Washington Mutual which had free checks, free money orders, free wire transfers and a good NSF waiver program the hideous US BAnk could never offer one good thing. The only reason why I had an account with these monsters is it was close to the place I lived. Recently I learned of the rip-off scheme, where I was the victim myself. I hope those who read this report will reconsider doing any business with these charlatans in the future and putting the trust in the wrong hands. That's how it works... They set up a trap in which they suspend all your debit card transactions deliberately for several days waiting for a bigger fish, that is a purchase or payment which if added to all recent transaction items either deposit or withdrawal will overdraw your account. Then they quickly post multiple overdraft charges for each transaction made the previous days which in turn will generate more overdraft because they will be considered withdrawals. So, you wake up one morning and check your account balance and find out it's been overdrawn and all transactions made over a period of 3-5 days posted in one single days. Thus you've been had. Easy and painless. Now you contact them in furious to complain about this unexpected act of misdemeanor and that's when the real pain comes; you are welcomed with a smack in the face. Whatever you say doesn't make sense, no proof or evidence intimidates them, you feel in the trap and you are a meal. Calling the corporate headquarter doesn't solve the issue either, they are one big team of crooks in pursuit of the same goal- to rip you off. The moral here: find yourself a better bank to do business with.If you have an account with them close it immediately. Otherwise sooner or later you'll become a statistic too. Any bank, anything will be better then these impostors. You are only strong when you are informed.I am trying to help people understand the reality of the banking world.As for me I am still fighting my rights in this act of injustice. First off went the complaint to the BBB, then the WA State Attorney General, the Federal Trade Commission, The Comptroller of the Currency and later a legal lawsuit as my last hit to teach them a lesson. If I can find other consumers who've been treated likewise I will file a class-action lawsuit against USbank. They think they have the world at their disposal. Wrong! You bit me and now I'll extract your teeth one by one until you go broke.

I was closing on my house and after I closed an auto draft came out so I tried to get a new payoff letter from cooperate and i was on the phone from 8:30 am to 5:15 pm and was told by 2 different people one that was a supervisor that they would send it and it never came so the next day I started again from the local branch and they told her they would fax it over in 5 to 10 minutes and they never recieved it. To me U S Bank are a bunch of thieves and liars and will never do business with them again. I was transfered to departments that have nothing to do with loans, lied to 5 times, and still dont have my $978.76 and it will take 14 days to get back when it was their fault for not sending the letter to the title company or I would have my money. Very hard people to get anything out of but rudeness. This is a direct line to Jermia Garcia so please everyone that has ever had a problem with them call and tell him about it. [protected]

I was contacted by dmk & associates, a collections agency, on december 18, 2008 regarding an outstanding balance on my us bank account. This was the first i'd heard of this matter. During their initial call, I requested a validation statement from dmk and they said they would send it to me, which they did not. I called us bank later that same day and was informed that I owed $329.00 and that my statements had been mailed to my previous address. I told them I had moved in early 2007 and corrected the address on the phone (Since they evidently missed the change of address request I had mailed them) and I asked what the charges were for. I was told I would need to go in person to any us bank branch bank to obtain copies of the statements. My account is a "checking as savings" account, which I used rarely and kept a $5.00 balance. I never had any checks or a debit card associated with the account, which means the only way I can obtain funds from it is to go into the bank or provide someone with my account and bank information. Since I did not remember using the account at all in 2007, I suspected the charges may be fraudulent - especially since my statements were being sent to the wrong address. I visited the branch nearest my home on december 20, 2008, and spoke with the bank manager. He told me he suspected the charges were all overdraft fees, but could not find any information in the computer because "the account was closed and charged off." he said he thought the bank had made an error and could resolve it easily and he instructed me to go to the branch where the account was originally opened and request the statements to substantiate the original charges. He referred me to the bank manager at my original branch. He said he would notify that manager in advance and she should be in touch. He also recommended that I advise dmk & associates that the matter was being handled by the bank. I did not hear from the other bank manager. Following the holidays, I called her and she said she knew about the matter, but couldn't help me. I told her I just needed to know what the original charge was for. She promised to call me back. She never called back, so the next weekend (January 3), I went into the branch in person and asked for the statements. The bank manager advised that it was too late for me to dispute the charges because the bank policy limits customer disputes to 30 days after the original charges appear on an account statement (Obviously, it was impossible for me to make this deadline since the statements did not go to my current address). She also stated that she could not obtain the statements I requested and speculated they were "probably overdraft fees." she offered to contact the recoveries department and call me back. When she called me a few days later, she left a message advising that the recoveries department could not provide the information I requested. On january 17, 2009, I copied the attorney general's office on correspondence between myself, u. S. Bank, and the original collections agency, dmk & associates. I stated that I was disputing the bank charges until I received documentation showing what they represent (What the original amount was, how it was posted - check, debit, online, etc., and who it was made to) as I cannot determine what they are and whether they are legitimately incurred by me. On january 30, I received a letter from us bank recoveries with statements dated april 20 through august 20, 2007 attached. These statements showed my balance was $5.00 until a single posting was made to my account of $358.83 on july 16, 2007, which overdrafted my account. This is not a charge I recognize and it makes no sense that it was posted to my account. (Why would I try to withdraw or make a purchase of that amount knowing that I only had a $5.00 balance? Further, what teller would allow me to do this since I would have had to go into the bank to take out the money?) subsequent bank statements show additional overdraft fees accruing as a result of this posting. On february 9, 2009, I received a letter from the attorney general's office stating that they would assist me in contacting the company and requesting an explanation of the charges and to keep them abreast of any further information. On march 3, 2009, I called us bank's recoveries department (Again) to inquire about the source of the $358.83 charge made against my account. The representative I spoke with had a lot of difficulty finding any information. Finally, he agreed that I had a $5.00 balance until july 2007 when, he said, a $26.00 overdraft fee was posted to my account as well as an additional charge of $7.00 per day for every day the account was in overdraft. The representative stated that he could not find a record of the original posted amount that caused the overdraft and asked me where I came up with the $358.83 amount. I told him that it was in the statements I received from us bank recoveries. He said the charges appeared to him to be fraudulent as he could see no record of them on my statements. I asked him if there was anyone else at us bank I should contact to try to resolve the matter and he said the recoveries department has done all they can for me. I asked him what the best way to resolve the situation would be and he suggested I contact an attorney. He offered to send the account statements to me and I received them in mid-march. Unfortunately, the statements are not helpful, though, because they are reports of summary balances and do not show how the original charge was made or who it was to. I still cannot determine what exactly I was being charged for in the first place — who charged me and how it was posted to my account. A couple of weeks later I received a letter dated march 19, 2009 from the attorney general's office, enclosing a letter they received from dmk & associates, dated february 12, 2009. The dmk letter stated that they had closed my collections account and returned it to u. S. Bank. I considered the matter closed. On april 9, 2009, I received a call from from weinerman & associates, another collection agency retained by us bank concerning the same account. Their representative claimed to know nothing about my dispute. I had to explain everything and fax information to her. I never heard from her again. On april 15, 2009, I was contacted by morris law group p. A., another collections firm (!) who advised they were retained by portfolio management group (?) regarding the u. S. Bank account matter. I was told that the current amount due is now $495.19. I explained the situation and again agreed to fax my correspondence to this new collector, which I did the same day. Yesterday, april 25, 2009, I received a bill in the mail from rl morris & associates, pllc (Evidently the same agency as morris law group, p. A.) requesting that I pay the us bank charges in full. I sent them the same dispute letter i've been sending to the other agencies and copied us bank and the attorney general's office. I am at my wits end. The situation is becoming worse every day. Us bank refuses to substantiate a charge they posted to my bank account, which may be fraudulent. Instead, they continue to tack on additional fees and turn my account over to numerous collections agents. Meanwhile, I am receiving weekly, sometimes daily, calls from (Now 3) different collections agencies. I have been forced to spend my time and money faxing, meeting with people, making numerous calls, and mailing letters, all in an effort to defend myself. I am concerned about my credit score and feel completely powerless to resolve this matter. I have kept the attorney general's office informed of all the developments in this matter and I am keeping excellent records. I plan to speak to my attorney next week for guidance on how to proceed. It's unfortunate and unfair that I should have to retain a lawyer and incur legal expenses in order to resolve the situation when it could be easily settled if us bank would simply provide the information I have requested.

Bank error in your favor! Collect $200.00! Yeah, right! I don't think so. Exactly one week ago I had made a deposit of $250 into my checking account. I made sure to save the transaction slip and filed it away. The next day, Saturday, I went online to check my ledger's balance against the balace given on my online statement page. I was shocked to find that the amount deposited into my account Friday afternoon was not $250.00 but rather $2.50. As it was Saturday after 1pm I knew I would not be able to speak to anyone. I did make 3 attempts to contact US Bank's customer service department via telephone but was unsuccessful. I only recieved busy signals each time. (Not sure if that was my cell provider's fault or the Bank's)

I decided at that point there was nothing I could do until Tuesday the 31st of May as the 30th was Mermorial day and a Federal holiday that banks close for. So I reported my problem to the bank where I made the deposit. The teller who took my deposit on the previous Friday was there so I spoke with that individual. I made sure to provide a copy of and the orignal copy of the deposit slip and printed versions of my online statement that reflected a deposit of $250.oo but showed on the same page only $2.50 being deposited. The teller in turned spoke with the assitant branch manager who instructed the teller to phone a corporate number. After waiting for 30 minutes for the teller to get back to me, I was informed there was nothing the branch could do for me immediatly. I would have to wait 48hrs for a temperary deposit of my missing $247.50. The teller and assistant manager explained that the investigation would take place over the next two days before I would then recieve my funds again. Mind you that the deposit I made was $250.oo in CASH, not check or any other form of currency but legal tender in the form of U.S. dollar bills.

I was further shocked at the repsonce they gave when I asked for some sort of finacial compensation for the banks error: "There is nothing we can do for you. But please go ahead and pay your bills and if you gather any over draft fees we will be glad to remove them from your account." EXCUSE ME?! WHAT?! My jaw hit the floor at that reply! To make matters worse, it was the assistant manager who told me that. Well, I explained to that individual that I did not find that acceptible and felt a matter of $35 for the initial error plus $7 a day for however number of days it took to resolve this matter was more appropiate. (That is what I was hit with 2 years ago when I was over drawn by less than $20.00 thru my own admitted error with the same bank.) The assistant manager told me that was not possible and did not offer any other compensation save to go ahead and over draw my account.

Well, 48 hrs came and went. No money in my account. I woke this morning to find the error corrected but it was dated for yesterday. I know it was not a late night deposit as I also checked my online statement at 12:07 am this morning, 3 June 2011. I again went to the same US Bank branch and asked to speak to the branch manager. I explained my situation to the branch manager and made sure to include in my statement that all persons I spoke with were polite and curtious as they were but that I did not find this situation in the least bit acceptible. The branch manager proceded to offer me $25 as an apology and admitted that the staff made and error in not reporting this to the branch manager. I did my best to graciously decline the offer and explained that my time, trouble and the inconvenience this has caused me was not acceptible. I relayed my justification for recieving $35 for the initial mistake and $7 a day for each day afterwards. The branch manager declined at first to consider my proposal. After I relayed the fact that the bank's own policy was exactly that when I was overdrawn by an ammount less than $20 that I felt my request more than fair as the bank's error was well over $200.

The branch manager called me today after speaking with superiors. Still the best that is offered is $25 for a bank error that took seven days to resolve and was admited by the branch manager that it could have been solved the moment I stepped back into the bank. I should ask for more compensation but will be happy to recieve just the $77 I asked for at the start of today, Friday the 3rd of June. I suppose the best I will get will be the $25. Sadly I cannot say that I will be with this Bank much longer if my request is not granted.

I would hate to have to leave the bank as I find the persons working there to be so nice! But policies such as theirs thus far are not acceptible. Why should I be held liable for mistakes with one policy but the bank holds themselves to much more lenient rules in their favor. To then suggest that I should go ahead and over draw my account is just intolerable. If I was asking for a full $247.50 credit to my account in addition to what was missing I could see a flat out NO from US Bank. Sadly though, my very small request of an amount that is less than peanuts to a business like US Bank corp. seems to be too much to ask for. Truthfully, maybe my money is better off under my mattress or shoved in a small fireproof safe in my home behind a picture on the wall. I should note that if this situation was resolved immediately on Tuesday the 30th of May, that I would proabably have been more receptive to the idea of only recieving $25 in compensation. Too bad the entire situation was drug out for 7 days.

I have been a member of America First Credit Union for a long time and have always loved them! I used the U.S. Bank ATM because it was with in walking distance of where I needed the cash. I walked out the door and realized I didn't grab my card and when I walked back in the card had all ready been sucked back into the ATM. I called the U.S. Bank customer service and told them what had happened and they told me if I brought my I.D. in when the bank re-opened in the morning I could get my card back. I came back when the bank re-opened and they said they would destroy my card because it was not a U.S. bank card. They said they had it but they would not give it back to me! I was there for an hour with my screaming baby and they would not budge. I went to America First Credit Union to order the the card again and they said that when non- America First members get their cards stuck in their ATM machine they call a number to verify the card is not fraudulent and then the card can be picked up with I.D...

U.S. Bank is sooooo dumb. I was there with my I.D... I could prove who I was and my card was only foot steps away and the jerks would not give it back! I will never bank there and I will tell all of my friends and post this story all over the internet for people to stay away from this stupid bank!

I paid off my auto loan account on May 16th, 2011 and the funds cleared via an ACH transaction on May 18th. I requested that the Title be expedited. I called US Bank Customer NO-Service daily after paying off the loan, requesting that they rush the title package to me. At first they requested that my bank write them a letter saying that the funds cleared and will not be returned. On the 19th my bank's manager faxed the letter (2nd time). They also requested that I send them my credit card information so that they can charge me for the rush delivery. I refused to put in on paper and fax it for security reasons, but I called and gave customer NO-service my credit card information. Next day (May 20th, 2011)I called to verify that they rushed the title to me, the customer NO-service apologized and said that they didn't rush it but by mistake mailed it to me. Today (May 26th, 2011) after waiting for the title to arrive by mail for a whole week, it didn't arrive, so I called the customer NO-service again to see what is wrong. I was advised that the package was mailed to me only today. It was extremely important for me to receive the title as I sold my car. It seemed that no one at the bank cared at all and actually lied to (that it was mailed last Friday), and as if willfully Randy at Loan Support decided to delay the processing and mailing of my title. At the end of each call the customer No service is programmed to say "Is there anything else that we can help you with, Sir?" What a bad joke and poor customer experience.

I made 3 purchases and went over by 50$ and was charged 3 overdraft fees. When I only should have been charged 1.

I opened two small IRA Certificates of Deposit at US Bank - one in March 2009 and one in April 2010. In May of 2011 they send me a letter and are charging me a $30 per year fee on these accounts. I have almost 3 years left and am now required to pay $30 per year. I requested to take my money out of US Bank because when I opened the CD's they assured me there were no fees, but if I do I would have to pay hundreds of dollars in penalties. The only way I won't have to pay a fee is if I deposit $25, 000 which I can't afford to do. I have banked there for over 20 years and thought they were one of the few decent banks left, but when my obligations are met at US Bank, I am leaving the bank and drawing out my savings, checking and IRA.

My youngest son is starting college this Fall. My husband and I helped him open a student checking account at US Bank. With the exception of the initial deposit of $100.00 the absolute lowest his actual daily balance ever fell to in six weeks was $132.16. Even though he never overdrew his account, US Bank charged him $315.00 in negative balance and overdraft fees. Our son did not understand he had to wait for his deposits to clear before using his check card for purchases. When he received his first statement he asked us what was going on. My husband went with him to a branch office to close the account and the manager told my husband she could not help him since our son opened his account at a different location. The location on campus had already closed for the day so to keep additional charges from accumulating, my husband had to pay another $113.00 to 'make the account current' so it could be closed. In total over the six weeks the account was open, the deposits (none of which were ever returned) were $909.38, our son's withdrawals: $633.20 and US Bank got $428.00 in fees. My husband and I realize this is a life lesson for our youngest who was new to the world of checking accounts, but talk about 'bank robbery', unbelievable!

Somebody needs to get the Feds looking into this.
We've been working a Short Sale with US Bank for 2 months now with us making weekly calls in to them. They now claim that they had this file labeled as a Loan Modification and not a Short Sale this whole time and we've got to start over at the beginning.
I think they're lying.
Weekly for 2 months we've asked about the SHORT SALE. So, either they are complete ###s or they are lying. I can't believe they are that incompetent unless the incompetency is intentional.

I'd been a customer at us bank for 3 years. last november I'd fraud in my account. I called us bank and I told them. they investigated about the fraud and they give me that time temp credit. in Feb this year. they took back the credit they give me because they didn't got the fraud paper they was expecting from me but I have send them back on april 5 they give me back again a professional credit. but still i'm missing some of my money. and they also told me that my account will stay close for ever and no one didn't explain why my account get closed.
