Savings account Deposits and withdrawals Virginia

My savings account was involuntarily closed after the financial institution claimed that my overdraft protection exceeded the - per month - preapproved transfers for a period of 12 months. In order to avoid any returned checks or transactions, I was prohibited from making any transfers of my own. This allegation that I exceed the - transaction per month is the furthest from the truth and has caused me financial hardships of authorized e-checks being returned, my account being charge overdraft fees, and thus my checking account going into the negative. The intent of the overdraft protection is to avoid overdraft fees in the amount of $36.00, by having any debits that exceed the checking account balance to be extracted from the savings account. I was unaware of any limits per month - not to mention, I have not exceeded the checking account balance more than - times out of a 12 month period. Closing the savings account has cause even more inconvenience as I have a $500.00 direct deposit going into this account on a bi-weekly basis and will have to re-channel this EFT, in addition, I will need to go into the bank and withdraw the monies into the savings as the account is no longer valid. Much of the confusion stems from the manner in which the financial institution process its transactions, debits/credits/bill pay, etc.
