Bank Closed Account with Active Disputes and Charged Improper Overdraft Fees

Wells Fargo closed a customer account while unresolved disputes were still open and assessed overdraft fees the customer disputes as improper. Closing accounts mid-dispute leaves customers without banking access and no path to resolution. This reflects a structural information asymmetry where banks can unilaterally close accounts without dispute adjudication.
