US Bank Charges Overdraft Fees to Customers Who Opted Out of Overdraft Protection
US Bank levies overdraft fees on customers who have documented opt-out status on record and refuses to issue refunds even after acknowledging the error. This constitutes charging for a service consumers explicitly declined, which violates the spirit of Federal Reserve Regulation E opt-in requirements.
