This article was published last week in The Consumerist, documenting a success story of a Bank of America customer that was able to get $315 worth of overdraft fees refunded with a simple letter to his bank. This is a prime example of how contacting your bank and threatening to take your business elsewhere can have a profound impact on getting your overdrafts back. I would again encourage everyone to keep hope when you get onto your online banking and see that you’ve been issued overdraft fees. Use the techniques I’ve laid out here and stand up to the bank to keep you money.
