Checking account Problems caused by my funds being low Pennsylvania
I am opted-out of overdraft protection with my checking account at Wells Fargo. Even after making it clear that I do not want them to allow charges that would negatively affect my account, they have allowed these transactions to go through. This past week, they authorized a paypal transaction that put my account into the negative. Had they denied the charge, as they are supposed to, it would have automatically been tied to the credit card I have set up through paypal. I was not expecting this to come out of my bank account at all. I noticed the mistake and called and complained. They said they would return the $35.00. There was already another pending OD charge at the time I called, but it did n't show up until the next day. Because of the inital unauthorized purchase, - additional purchases were overdrafted. I suspected that they would charge me again and deposited money to cover these. Per their ATM policies, these should not have caused an overdraft fee even I had opted in because I made the deposit before the charges were " posted '' and ATM deposits are " immediately available ''. They posted the charge before posting my deposit. I now have $70.00 in fees, even though I have a positive account balance and no overdraft authorization on my account. When I called to complain again, I was told that they will not return the money and that " their policy '' authorizes them to allow charges at their discretion. However, their policy online, as well as the Federal Reserve Board 's ruling, say differently.
