In addition to its current overdraft fees lawsuits (see below) McCuneWright, LLP is investigating the following banks for potential unfair and illegal overdraft fees:
Union Bank of California
California Bank & Trust
First Federal Bank of California
Bank of the West
COMERICA Bank
HSBC Bank
California National Bank
First California Bank
The investigations against these banks include claims that they:
• Manipulate the posting of the daily transactions from highest to lowest in order to increase the number of overdraft fees in a single day.
• Provide inaccurate account balance information to customers causing customers to overdraft their accounts.
• Charge overdraft fees on transactions when there is sufficient money in the account at the time of transaction.
