Citibank Bank Account Or Service Complaint

Checking account Problems caused by my funds being low

Citibank Bank account or service department,

Checking account Problems caused by my funds being low California

I did not have enough in my bank account to cover my ACH $97.00 insurance payment. The next day, before noon, I noticed, and transferred money from my savings to my checking, and I was in the positive. I thought I had caught it before any NSF fees could be levied ( I had never opted in to overdraft protection ). But, the ACH amount was credited back to my account and a $34.00 NSF fee levied. I did not see this charge until the next day, otherwise I would have transferred more. Later that day, I was charged a monthly fee ( which can be anywhere between - or $12.00, which is confusing to me ), which put me overdrawn again. I transferred another $100.00. Now I see I have - overdraft fees, for a total of $68.00 in overdraft fees and $34.00 in NSF fees. I 'm confused. I thought overdraft was opt in, and NSF was a fee when the bank decides not to pay? I am trying to close this account anyway due to some very suspicious things like this, and I have been fearing that something fishy would happen, like them saying it was closed


Which is it? Am I able to be charged both NSF and overdraft on - transaction? Do n't they mean the same? This is n't the - fishy thing that 's ever happened. - they decided, all of a sudden - month with no notice, to start charging $11.00, then $13.00, then $12.00 ( in consecutive months ) on my savings account, with no notice or packet outlining changes in terms or anything. I called and complained and they said Oh we did an audit and you 're supposed to be paying $10.00 for the savings account ''. I then asked why they charged me - different amounts, none of which were $10.00, and why they decided 7 years later I 'm supposed to be paying some fee I had n't heard of. The lady did n't even have an answer. She just reversed the charges, and I got no explanation as to why the charges just started appearing. I had to do that -, and I still have no answer besides an audit ''. Another time, they shifted the order of my transactions ; my biggest transaction was on Monday, and - smaller - on previous Friday. They processed the bigger later - and levied a fee on each of the - smaller ones, and I paid it, but did not remember until later that I did not opt in. They even told me over the phone they decided to change the order of processing. I was shocked, but I just let it go and decided to be more careful. My bank is Citibank. I 'm leaving them shortly because I 'm tired of this.
