i have read my terms from this bank.first off anyone knows you will be charged a fee if you over draw,thats just fine.this bank charges you over draft fees when you havent overdrawn,and have money in your bank. sorry but you must have a good bank that dont rip you off.i know what this banks terms are, and they need to state that when you open an account with them you can kiss your hard earned money good buy. oh and by the way got letter from bank yesturday,the double refund they so called gave me,they charged me a 33.00 fee to take it back out of my account. i do keep a register,and my register matches what my printout says.did not resive double refund from this bank,what money i had posted was my paycheck,and my paypal deposits.they had no write debiting my account for money without a good resson.my boss is a self made millinar,he looked at my,"my"register,my print outs,and he even sees how they cheated me. i was going to get a loan to clear this bank account up(from my boss)but instead he will give me the money to get lawyer to let this bank know that its not ok to mess with peoples account,and not have a resson for doing it. read the other reports,i am not the only one this bank has done this too.i could see maybe 1-2 people being wrong,look around on the internet,they have done this same thing to hundreds of people,and until know got away with it. only thing is this bank gose by several different names you got to know what you are looking for. oh so sorry i dont spell perfect.said i wasent the smartiest,but do know when i am being ripped.

First, located the terms and conditions you received when you opened your account. Second, buy a dictionary. In the terms and conditions, there should be explanations for your bank's policies on holds for deposits, account fees and any other services that are charged a fee with your particular account. Can find it? Go online and search their web site. There should be a link somewhere to it. You may have to search a bit. They may not make it easy to find (I have found that there is sometimes a link if you select "open an account" option - just don't complete a new application). Do not keep a running balance based on their online statement or automated telephone service. Keep your own separate account register either on paper or using computer software. Only use the online statement to check for any fees applied to your account. If you have been charged a fee that doesn't agree with the terms and conditions of your account, THEN call the bank and complain. You will at least have some ammuntion to argue with, otherwise they can tell you anything for a reason and you will have nothing to back up your complaint and possibly get back the charged fee. It's not just First Convenience Bank. All banks charge fees for certain services and have policies which are all within banking regulations. Most consummers fail to read any of the terms and conditions they are supplied with when they open their accounts and are then surprised when their accounts are assessed fees.
