Awful bank
US BANK IS AWFUL! I have NEVER had a bank RIP me OFF like this! They put undetermined hold on checks (even pay checks and government checks!) and seem to wait until checks written against the deposit start coming in and then automatically apply insufficient funds charges against them! (over and over again!) If you use your debit card it SHOULD tell you when your balance is beyond the amount of money in the account, but the charge is put through and then the fun begins!

They will hit you over and over and over again with huge fees, then charge for a negative balance fee (over and over!)! One month I had over $300.00 NSF fees and neg. balance fees. The next month I had over $200.00 in fees! The bank also charges me overdraft fees even when they RETURN the check! Doesn't OVERDRAFT mean they paid for the check? WELL THEY DIDN'T! They bounced the check, charged me NSF FEES, OVER DRAFT FEES (yet didn't pay the check!), then with a huge negative balance, the bank kept trying to put the previously bounced checks through, over and over, generating more and more fees!

Then they charged me fees for having a negative balance! I told them I wanted to close my account and they said I couldn't close it while I 'OWED THEM' MONEY!! It is a nightmare situation! I HATE US BANK!! I URGE EVERYONE TO SUE US BANK IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT, AND CALL YOUR GOVERNMENT REPRESENTATIVE! BANKS GET A BAILOUT, YET WE THE MIDDLE CLASS EAT IT, BECAUSE WE DON'T MATTER!! STOP THIS MADNESS!!!

Overdraft Charges
My Family and I am a new account holder in US Bank, for past month each of my family and I have been charged overdraft for at least twice. The bank system is so confusing that in one day your account shows positive balance and in matter of a day it shows negative balance. I am sure you are thinking that we are not managing our account correctly, but this is not the case, US Bank is a professional trained thief, they will live of the overdraft charges. This Bank is stealing your money without any mercy. Shame on us that we put our trust and money in the hands of this crooks. The US bank charge my 14 years old son account $120.00 overdraft fees for the negative account of $1.95.US bank customer service, including branch Manager, District Manager were no help. They told us we can not close the accounts at least for six months; if we do, we will be subject to pay early closing fee up to $250.00. US bank is sucks...US bank is surviving of the overdraft fees and Shame on all of us that we let this bank to take our hard working money and could nothing about it

Overcharged
Unfortunately after several incidents and several hundred dollars of overdraft fees, I have figured out US Bank's strategy of misleading their customers in order to collect an ungodly amount of fees. I recently deposited a $400 check into our account due to the fact that the same problem I'm about to report occurred and we were charged over $300 in overdraft fees. So, after depositing the $400, I went online and noticed that at the top of the online statement, there was a note indicating that $300 was being held pending clearance of the deposited check.

HOWEVER, approximately 24-48 hours later, that note disappeared and my Available Balance was showing about $196. Additionally my husband called to check the Available Balance and was also given the $196 figure. Naturally, one would assume that Available Balance would mean those funds are available for use, and by their own definition listed on the website, 'This balance lists the funds in your account that are available for withdrawal. This is the Account Balance minus deposited funds being held or check card authorizations outstanding.' Note it says MINUS deposited funds being held. This actually is not the case - when I clicked on the blue hyper-link provided on the online statement, I was shown that the $300 is still considered unavailable funds and our Available Balance is actually negative $103.

If we didn't have access to the Internet in order to find that out, and went solely on the information given when my husband called in to check our balance, we would have been charged overdraft fees on any purchases we made. That is how we got all the overdraft fees to begin with - another deposit was made previously and because the Available Balance showed the entire deposit was available, we were naive enough to believe it and spent money that apparently wasn't really available... even though they told us it was.

This practice is unconscionable, underhanded and downright dishonest. Why list funds as available when they aren't? Overdraft fees... period. In the meantime, because those funds aren't available yet and we're still in a negative balance, I actually had to borrow some of my daughter's birthday money in order to get some gas and groceries!!! We live paycheck-to-paycheck and the bank is slowly milking us to the point of having to borrow money from my father and my 11-year old daughter just to get by.

I would be interested to hear comments or other incidents of this occurring.

Unauthorized charges
We had a checking account through US Bank. They had deposited 80 dollars of somebody else's money into our account without us knowing. We called the number on the back of our card to check our balance one day and we had X amount of money in there, so we went shopping. We didn't spend all of it, but the next day I get online to check our balance again and it shows that we are over drawn.

They had realized their mistake and took the 80 dollars out which put us 26 dollars in the hole. They then proceeded to charge us over draft fees left and right! I called and called and they kept saying how it was our fault for not keeping a register! I then told them that they offer an automated register, the one I had called to check the balance... They refuse to stand behind there offered services and to work with us.

I told them we would pay for what we spent but not for all those overdraft fees. Still to this day, no one will help us.

Customer service
I was going to make a payment on a reseve line account that I had put in pay down status. When call the bank they give me the run around...remember I am trying to make a payment not them collecting. Then after about 10 different people and 45 min on the phone. I am frustrated but I am not yelling just frustrated. So I am short and to the point with this lady "I need the number so I can make a payment and I also mention not want to conversate with her" I guessed that pissed her off so she was like my name is... not lady and she told me to stop yelling(in which I wasn't) so she says she is connecting me to this number but she sends me to the main number (I think intentionally sending me to the wrong place). SO then I call back completely pissed off not careing about making a payment but just wanting to complain about the ... to her supervisor. SO Then I get this guy and he take all my infomation even though all I want is to talk to the supervisor. After about 10 min of wasting my time the man is like well different poeple have different styles of handling customers (someone sent me to the recover unit of us bank where collector are in which I dont have a collection) Then he tells me I wasting my time complaining because they wont do nothing I told him just to let me find out my self then he gets rude and says while I'm at it I can complain about him too. Jerk I am going some other bank soon. dont back with them

Scam and cheating
I have fallen victim to US Bank's greedy practice of overdraft fees, which are now $37.50, and $8/daily for negative balances. In the last 2 months, I have had close to $250 taken from my military pension (*EACH month) because of the way they handle business. I can't imagine over the course of the past 7 years how much money they've taken from me. I don't want to know. It's all I can do now to be respectful when I call or visit a branch. They will take overdraft fees FIRST and then pay the item they are charging you an overdraft for. It's because you actually MAKE the purchase on one day, the vendor may not present the item for pay until a few days later, and then, it may not clear until a few days after that! WHAT?? I thought that was the point in having checking/debit cards... to make sure you didn't have this kind of trouble! And you are not able to put a stop on this practice by telling them to not pay anything if there's no money in your account. One phone rep told me this was a convenience for my good. (Imagine, she said, that you're out of gas, stranded and have no money. You can make a withdrawal from the atm!)??? What the heck?? What kind of advice is that?

I am so sick of this bank and it's practices that it's all I can do to pay my bills. I have bad credit because of a nasty divorce, and am not able to 'bank/credit union' shop. I'm stuck here, at their mercy. There's a special place in hell for people that take advantage of those they can use and justify their actions. I hope US Bank rots there.

Lease Termination Fees Charged
At the near end of my lease termination DataScan, a company hired by US Bank to come and inspect my 04 Lexus GX470, made note of every tiny, little ding and scratch on my suv. None of which measured over a 1/2 inche. Per my lease agreement anything under a 1/2 inche is considered "normal wear and tear". A bill was sent to us for $809.00 for these "normal wear and tear" items. No paint work was ever done on my car, all the original glass in tact and no dings or dents. Vehicle is in sound, great mechanical condition and tires are in great condition also. What gives??
The end came and we decided to purchase the vehicle outright. We titled it in our business name which lists me as the president. This should have "forgave" my bill. NO! They still wanted me to pay the $809! SO, let me get this right, I buy the car outright and I still have to pay you damages and still have to pay the full buy out price too? They robbed me blind.
Well, we disputed the charges with them, stayed in contact every month and each time the person on the phone agreed with us and promised to talk to someone who could make the final decision and plead our case. 8 months went by and I received a bill from a credit collection company now. But the bill was less than orignally. Now it was $600. I said to my husband that I didn't want to screw up our credit so lets just pay it and be done with them. Which we did. We pulled our credit bureau before we paid and no collection was listed and no negitive marks were there under US Bank either. The bill was satisfied in 1 week from the day we received it. We figured we now can go on with our life. NOT!
We went to a bank for a credit line for our business and the representative asked us about the late marks on our lease. WHAT!!! Yup, they not only marked it as a collection but gave me 8, over 90 days late, late marks! Dropping my credit score a whopping 60 points because of it! And suprise suprise, everyone I talk to a US Bank says the marks should not be there and it is wrong, the person I talked too can not personally do anything to change it, someone else has to. However, everyone they transfer us too says the same thing. So there I am. Paid a un-fair fee and still had my credit damaged... :-(

Lease Return Nightmare
Lease Return Nightmare with US Bank:

In addition to the ridiculous charge of 200.00 for some scratches on my wheels, US has billed me for 3491.82 as an excess mileage charge. I was allowed 15, 000 per year (or a total of 60, 000) on a 4 year lease with Mazda for a RX8. The car was returned with less than 50, 000 miles (49, 407) to be exact and have been billed for over 79, 000 so odd miles. I have the end of lease odometer statement from July, my recent car inspection as of June, several recent service records from Town North Mazda and they still will not remove the charge.

The sales Director at El Dorado Mazda, has faxed the odometer statement 3 times or more to US Bank along with the recent car inspection report and they keep denying their receipt of the statements. Just how does US Bank do business if the sales director at a Mazda dealer, can not even get this resolved? If it was just a mistake, the first faxed copy from the sales director should have resolved the problem, but it still is outstanding.

I am not happy and will pursue this with the Better Business Bureau, Channel 5 or Channel 8 News and if need be, my lawyer. I am not paying for charges that I did not incur. US Bank is not a company I ever would do business with again.

Just thought everyone needs to be aware of this issue dealing with US Bank.

Thanks,

A Concerned Consumer

Awful customer service
I had been a US Bank customer for 3 years (until yesterday!) and after fighting with them for over a month, I am no longer with them.

In July, I went to the ATM only to be told my card had expired, but I had never received a new one in the mail. The teller in the bank ordered me a new one and when I got it, I activated it over the phone and set my pin.

On Aug 19, I was travelling out of the country, and from the airport I notified them of this, at this point, also confirming my pin.

When I arrived in London for my layover to Italy, I tried to use the ATM, at which point I was told that my pin was incorrect. I attempted to call the collect call number on the back of my card that is used for international calls, and was told by the operator that it did not work, leaving me to pay for the calls on my credit card. The girl on the phone transferred me to the manager, who would do nothing to help me, repeatedly stating that I should just use it as a Visa card. To which I kept asking him how many Italian taxi drivers he knew that would take a Visa! He refused to do anything other than to send a new pin to my home (where my boyfriend was) which would take 3-5 days. He said that I could use it to get a cash advance if I could find a bank. No bank in the London airport with would give me an advance without a pin. I attempted to call back, but the operator told me that even with a credit card the phone number would not work. At this point, I had to call my boyfriend in the states to see if he could help me. I also had to pay to use the internet to find bank and Western Union info.

When I arrived in Italy, I found an exchanger that would advance money for a 13.9% fee. Seeing as I had no other options, I went ahead and did it. Once I arrived at the hotel, the friend I was meeting had a cell phone that worked there, so I had to make calls home to my boyfriend to figure out how and where to get the money Western Unioned to. We spent half of our first day in Italy walking all over trying to find the Western Union and get the money (a huge ordeal in and of itself!). Finally I got the money and things were OK. 4 days later I got an email from my boyfriend with my new pin, so I tested it and it worked!

When I returned home I called the 800 number and spoke to a manager to get reimbursed. The total I spent was $596. I have been dealing with them since the first week of Sept and they originally agreed to pay only $220 (the calls made from the UK and a $2 US Bank fee), and after more arguing, agreed to pay the 13.9% exchanger fee (another $51). So they paid me back less than half of what it cost me! I insisted on speaking with the manager's supervisor, and yesterday morning she told me that on no uncertain circumstances would they pay for the calls I had to make to my boyfriend, the internet use or the Western Union fees. At this point I infformed her that I would be closing my account. Two hours later I withdrew all my money and when the guy asked why, I told him, and he did apologize, but did nothing to try to change my mind.

When I returned home an hour later, I found a message on my home phone from shortly after Id spoken with the supervisior on the phone from the local branch saying they wanted me to meet with the branch manager to help me. I left him a message saying that I had already taken out my money. As I was sitting at Commerce Bank opening my new account, he returned my call still wanting to meet with me and try to change my mind. Apparently, the 800 number should have notified the branch immediately, but only did so yesterday. I informed him of where I was, but he insisted that they wanted to try to get me back. I told him I would meet with them the next day and he could call me the next day, but there was little they could do.

This morning I received a call from him saying that they were doing research and wouldnt be able to meet until next week. I have told him that if I dont speak with them today Im not meeting with them at all.

This has taken far too long, and the fact that the branch wasnt notified isnt my problem! Im done with this bank. Ive never had such bad service, and the fact that the branch wasnt involved earlier only shows the breakdown in their service system. Im emailing all my friends to let them know about this and already have a friend who is changing banks based on my experience. If you're banking with them it would probably serve you best to get out-they dont care about their customer!
