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.)

    my granddaughter opened an account linked to a savings ;since I was her guardian the account was also in my name; they charged $15.00 every time she took money out of savings. I went to the bank where they removed all the fees and closed the account. GUESS WHAT? they sent it to a COLLECTON AGENCY. I refused to pay. they left me alone, but have damaged my credit rating big time!!! My credit card interest and payments have gone through the roof!! may have to file chapter 11

    Copy and paste for the form. It’s due by August 25, 2011.

    I had TCF bank originally when I was young. Moved to midamerica bank (a local bank), which was bought by national city then that was bought by PNC. I rarely if ever had an overdraft fee from any of them EXCEPT PNC. I called them out on the customer service line for resequencing checks and they said “we can’t do that it’s illegal”. I have moved everything over to Chase Bank a year ago and what do you know. No more overdraft fees again. Don’t have to be [b]CSI: Overdraft Fee[/b] to figure this one out. I love everything about Chase and the way the online banking is designed. Don’t walk away from PNC if you still bank there RUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!

    I like some of the rest of you had them take my entire check due to this dishonet practice, They told me that my direct deposit had not posted and by automatic withdraws hit my account before my deposit.
    you are right that 12 million is nothing but at least they did something to them
