What is the name of your state? Florida

This is a long confusing problem!

1. Had a debit card at Wachovia Bank.

2. Debit card was charged by a company. The charge was unauthorized. (Two Charges)

3. Wachovia charged two overdrafts

4. Unauthorized charger refunded the two charges back to my account.

5. Wachovia would not credit the overdraft fees back to my account claiming I authorized the charges.

6. I told Wachovia to close my account.

7. Wachovia did not close my account but did pay another unauthorized debit and charged me another overdraft fee.

8. Wachovia closed my account.

9. I moved to Florida from NJ

10. Was deied a bank account for being in chexsystems Wachovia put me there.

11. My Wachovia account should have had about $30 had I not been charged for the unauthorized charged and overdraft fees. chexsystems says I owe Wachovia $301!

12. I contact Wachovia who tells me to contact a private collections agency.

13. The collection agency settles for $181 plus a $6 charge for paying with a credit card. $187 total. Settlement included removal from chexsystems

14. Wachovia did not remove me from chexsystems stating that I made a payment of $181 and still owed $120. That I was back in collections for the $120!

15. The collection agency said I settled and that they input it as a settlement.

16. After telling both wachovia and the collection agency I was recording the conversation when I was not and getting such outrageous lies from both I was removed from chexsystems.

17. I filed a complaint with the comptroller of currency. I proved everything I stated with bank statements and documentation. I showed documentation wachovia "SAID" differently. The investigator found in favor of the bank based on what the bank "SAID" ignoring the documentation that proved what the bank "SAID" way a lie.

18. After the comptroller investigation was closed I received a letter from Wachovia stating that the credit card payment for the settlement payment was reversed when it was not reversed. This was months after the credit card bill was paid! The letter stated that I was being put back in chexsystems unless I paid $181.

Here it is december, I still can not open a bank acount because I am in chexsystems and have no where to turn. I'm not paying a corrupt criminal institution like wachovia another $181.00! Wachovia knowingly put me back in chexsystems knowing damn well that I paid them and is just trying to extort another $181 from me.

In this day of internet fraud chexsystems gives scammers the ability to fraudliently take your money. It allows banks to charge overdraft fees and deny you a bank account until you return money to the bank that the bank chooses to give to scammers.

Anyone have any idea what I can do?

Any attorneys willing to take on chexsystems and wachovia bank?

Chexsystems gives banks a license to steal and should be eliminated!

I can only assume they thought the charges were authorized because the debit card number was charged.

The day I received notice from the bank that the two unauthorized charges overdrafted my account I called the bank to see who charged and then called the company who charged me. The company immediatly refunded the two charges back to my account.

I went to the bank. Their records showed the refunds yet they still insisted that I authorized the charges. It's chexsystems that gives the banks the power to say and do as they choose to extort charges from consumers.

Did you know that in the first quarter of 2006 wachovia earnings were over 7 billion dollars. Over 50% or 3.5 billion was from bank fees.

There is a site called ripoffreport.com there are literally hundreds of complaints about wachovia doing to others what they did to me.

They do it because they can and get away with it!

I've posted about Wachovia in the past they treat all people as a criminal first, customer last. I must hang out in a small circle of friends because I know nobody who has a wachovia account or has had a good dealing with them yet they are a very profitable business. MOSTLY ON FEES. They never loose in a transaction, I just had a friend of mine who HAD to cash a payroll ck at one of their branches. They insisted in two ID's he has a DL and passport they refused a passport, firearms ID given out by the goverment and would only accept as a second ID a Credit card. Well over the holidays they attached his CC due to insuffucient funds in the payroll account. This was a municipality check.
I know they do this, they tried it with me, if you don't have an account with them they will contact your CC company to see if you can cover their check which is BS because the money comes out of the account instantly when you cash a check at their own bank.
Good Day
