Bank of the West review: daily overdraft fees plus more ( 1 comment)

Before September 1, 2009, Bank of The West announce that they were going to add a $5 overdraft fee every day for accounts overdrawn for 3 days or more. Our companies and personally, we have had to struggle with the economic crisis taking place in the United States. Our funding is non-existent due to this crisis. My little LLC company, GTI Corporate Transfer Agents, LLC finally had one transfer transaction since July 25, 2009. But the account was already $146.01 overdrawn due to these outrageous $5 charged to our account on a daily basis when it was negative. Many others are suffering through this. What can I do to have this bank eliminate these OD fees? It is bad enough that they charge $36 for returned items or if you have money but it has not cleared the hold, they will automatically returned the item and charge you the $36 NSF. I have spoken to the bank officer from the Evergreen Branch where we opened our accounts 5 years ago, but they always say to file a dispute only for the bank to deny any reimbursement by stating the bank was not in error.
