I suggest that you have some friends sign the petition to stop Comerica from getting any of the $2.25 Billion in Federal Bailout money. That will get their attention fast! If you email me at [email protected] I will send you a copy of the petition. You can send or fax the completed petition directly to the treasury department address on the bottom of the petition. Here is the petition language: PROPOSED $2.25 BILLION BAILOUT OF COMERICA BANK. We urge the U.S. Treasury Department to immediately stop the proposed $2.25 Billion taxpayer bailout of Comerica Bank. We believe this is an abusive violation of the rules and guidelines of the bailout program. The goal of the program is to provide money for lending not to provide money for fines, penalties and legal settlements. Because Comerica was guilty of illegal sales practices, the Michigan Attorney General forced Comerica to pay $1.60 Billion in restitution to customers that were cheated by Comerica sales personnel. Giving Comerica Bank a $2.25 Billion bailout would be force the same victims of Comerica's illegal and deceptive sales practices pay restitution money right back to the guilty party, Comerica Bank (see attached). Please stop this assault against our values. Stop Comerica from manipulating the government into funding its illegal and unethical activities. Doing so only enables and perpetuates the inept and corrupt management executives at Comerica Bank. Giving money to pay legal settlements and cover up bad management behavior will not improve our economy. It will encourage more white collar crime and set a dangerous precedent that will harm citizens. WE URGE YOU TO REJECT THE $2.25 BILLION BAILOUT OF COMERICA BANK You can get a copy of this petition by emailing [email protected] www.boycottcomerica.wordpress.com www.bankingwhistleblower.wordpress.com www.comericaclassactionlawsuit.blogspot.com

I am sorry that he has to pay out so much money in fees, but this isn't fraud. At least not on the part of the bank. If he continues to rely on his online banking page to know what his balance is, he is in for more overdrafts. There is most likely some kind of system to help him with this. Other blind people maintain their checking accounts without being charged overdraft fees.
