National City Bank (PNC) Overdraft Fee Class Action Settlement 

 

By Kimberly Mirando

National City PNC Bank

National City Bank and PNC Bank (PNC) have reached a $12 million class action lawsuit settlement concerning illegal overdraft fees. If you paid overdraft fees to National City (including accounts transferred to PNC when it merged with National City in November 2009), you may be eligible to receive a cash payment from the class action settlement that could be as much as $100 or more.

 

According to the National City Bank class action lawsuit settlement, titled Trombley, et al. v. National City Bank, et al., National City improperly assessed overdraft fees for insufficient funds on debit card purchases and ATM withdrawals in a number of ways that were unlawful, including by “re-sequencing” transactions in order to maximize the number of overdraft fees. The lawsuit alleges that these practices were unlawful and caused financial injury.

 

You’re considered a class member of the National City overdraft fee settlement if you hold or ever held a National City Account and at any time from July 1, 2005 through August 15, 2010 incurred at least one Overdraft Fee associated with at least one National City Debit Card Transaction that was not previously reversed, refunded or returned. (The settlement does not apply to any PNC accounts that were opened for the first time through PNC or one of PNC’s predecessor banks other than National City. It does, however apply to National City account holders who were charged fees before or after National City was merged into PNC.)

 

As part of the $12 million National City class action settlement, National City will pay class members $36 for each eligible Overdraft Fee they incurred during the class period. However, if the number of people filing claims is small enough, you may be able to receive up to three times this amount!

 

All you have to do to receive your share of the National City cash settlement is to submit a valid claim form no later than August 26, 2011 either by submitting it online at www.NationalCityClass.com or mailing it to the Settlement Administrator. (Claim forms can be found here.)

    PNC received thousands from me in over drafts fees. When I questioned it, they did nothing wrong. I know they changed dates so they could charge me more over drafts fees. That is very unfair and they should be made to pay it all back. I was just notified about this today by mail -postcard 2-19-3013. Good Luck to everyone in the same situation. Good people have good things happen. We want our money back

    Sounds like Most people have received some compensation for trusting a company that clearly took advantage of us all. My husband and I are still waiting……..I’m afraid we never will receive anything. Unfortunatly we are one of the many families that live paycheck to paycheck. And when over 1/2 of a paycheck is taken for fees that were wrongfully charged, more and more problems trickle down. Such as checks not going thru and getting yet ANOTHER charge from individual establishments and so on. The cycle was never ending. So the piddely amount that some of you received I know doesn’t even slightly cover all the fees that we’ve all dishonestly been charged. And I’m still waiting………..!!!

    There are people on here stating that even though they did not receive what they should have they are happy to have gotten something.. Me, I say BULLS*IT…The people that did this cost my family and I a lot more than just the money, because of this I couldn’t pay rent, buy grocery or pay any bills for over 3 months- we lost our house had to move in with family and I had no choice other than to quit my job since I worked for a company that made direct deposit mandatory-and that’s the biggest crock of all…my paycheck went into the bank, I would check my balance and it reflected the deposit every time but , whenever I would use my card BANG! Overdraft…of course the people at the bank would say they didn’t know why it was happening… To top it off for some strange reason the bank never did send me my checks so I wouldn’t have to use the card.I should have received over 4000 but got 45.00…and no lubricant to go with it…I have to agree with some of the others, I can’t really say that I’m surprised since this seems to be the natural state of things in this country anymore.

    I still am a customer at City National in WV. I just received a letter saying that I had 1 overdraft of $30.95 that would be forgiven and my current balance is $-347.49. Well guess what? I have never had a negative balance of more than $50.00 and my current balance is not negative. I will be going in to the bank tomorrow, if they pretend to know nothing, I will seek legal representation.

    I know this is over but I just received my check of $14.35 I paid $10.00 dollars to get it because they sent it to the wrong address. Here is my question? how did they split the amount up where some people received more and some chump change??? I am sending this check back to the attorneys because they seem to me they need it more than I. What a rackeet!!!

    They didn’t close your account because of this settlement. They don’t have a list of participants. They closed your account for gross misusage of your account. They have the right to refuse customers based on bad banking habits.
