(USGovernment-News.Com, December 21, 2012 ) New York, NY – The unfair overdraft lawyers working with ClassAction.org want to hear from National Bank of Arizona customers who were charged overdraft fees after overdrawing their accounts. It has been alleged that the bank reordered their customers’ transactions to maximize the amount of overdraft fees they could charge. If you suspect you were unfairly charged overdraft fees by National Bank of Arizona, you may have legal recourse to seek compensation for these charges. To find out if you are eligible, visit http://www.classaction.org/unfair-overdraft-protection-fees.html for a free, no obligation evaluation of your charges.
The alleged overdraft transaction sorting occurs when a customer’s transactions are processed in a highest-to-lowest sequence, rather than in the order in which they were made. For example, assume a customer has $80 in their checking account and makes debits in the following order: $20; $20; $30; and $85. Should a bank clear these transactions starting with the highest, the customer would incur a total of 4 overdraft fees for each of the purchases. If the transactions were processed chronologically, the consumer would have only incurred one overdraft fee for their last, and largest, purchase.
Many of the nation’s largest banks, including Bank of America and Chase, have been hit with lawsuits claiming that they reordered their customers’ transactions to charge more overdraft fees, and in turn, increase their profits. More than a dozen banks have agreed to multi-million dollar settlements to resolve these cases.
If you suspect you were unfairly charged overdraft fees by National Bank of Arizona, please visit ClassAction.org for more information. The attorneys working with the site are currently investigating the overdraft protection policies of state, regional and local banks.
