    I had a bank account with them when I was young... I also had other accounts my parents left me. Well when I took the big accounts away from US Bank to an investment firm the personal banker I had threw a fit and they made it so any checks I had deposited would take two weeks to clear.... They also lied to me about everything... I haven't been with US Bank for 4 1/2 years and yet I recently just got statements from them say I have two open accounts with money in them.... When I just went to ask about them and why I wasn't getting statements before no one can give me a straight answer.

    Customer for 16 years. My ATM card was compromised. Promised a card with a rush, due to arrive 2 days later. Went to branch following day & was told card HAD NOT EVEN BEEN ORDERED - so the teller ordered it with a rush. Received card but it would not activate. Spent over an hour at 2 different phone numbers & three different people with no resolution. Told the new card I received had "been closed" - really? Even before it was opened? And I would have to wait for a second one which was ordered WITHOUT a rush & would take 10 business days. Also my PIN number which was NOT supposed to change has been changed but nobody could tell me the new number.

    So I have to wait even longer than the 10 business days for the PIN number so I can actually use my card. One of the most frustrating conversations I've ever had the displeasure to experience. The saddest part is probably the fact that the last person with whom I spoke was labeled as a "Resolution Expert" - how insanely absurd!!! As of this writing nobody really seems to care & I have to just wait because "they've done all they can do".

    In April of 2013 I obtained a secured credit card in the amount of $3000 from US Bank to bolster my credit.

    In February of 2013 I attempted several times to get loan modification paperwork sent from US Bank for my mortgage, but they would not send them, I'm assuming because my mortgage payments were up to date. After a few months of no success in obtaining the paperwork I requested I stopped making making payments on my home and wonder of all wonders finally received the loan modification paperwork. The loan modification went thru; however my credit score suffered due to the missed mortgage payments - hence the reason for the secured credit card.

    In December 2013 I decided to apply for an unsecured credit card with US Bank and was denied. That same day I applied online with Capital One and received instant approval. I paid off the secured credit card on December 20, 2013. I went into my bank to request the US Bank credit card account be closed and was informed I had to call the credit card company's 800 number on the back of the card which I did when I returned home. They told me they could not close the account without a letter being sent in - fine, sent the letter the next day. Called the credit card company the next week to inquire about when I would be receiving my $3000 back and was informed that the account would be REVIEWED on Feb 7th 2014. I asked why are they holding my funds if my statement shows zero balance and no available funds - not possible to charge anything on the card any longer, I was given the run around and given no explanation.

    I filed a complaint with the Consumer Protection Agency and they contacted US Bank and received a response to my complaint that was vague and generic and did not address the issue of why they are holding my funds and when exactly when my $3000 will be returned.

    Predators! I am planning on refinancing my home out of US Bank as soon as possible and closing my accounts.

    For no valid reason other than the fact that they can, US Bank charges their mortgage customers an escalating fee when they pay their mortgage on-line. The fee ranges from $3.50 to $5.00 per payment if the payment is paid between 4-15 days after the 1st of the month. This is not a late fee as the terms of the mortgage agreement indicate that the payment is not considered late until the 16th of the month. I pay all of my bills electronically and there isn't a single entity that charges me a fee to send them money except for US Bank. It is a scam and a rip-off!

    In good faith opened an IRA-CD with U.S. Bank at around 5% years ago. CD matured in Feb 2013. I lost track of it because I moved to Hawaii from Ohio and thought it matured Feb 2014. It rolled over by default at 0.5 % till 2018. When I requested to roll it over, I knew there would be an interest penalty but stupidly assumed that would be on accrued interest since the rollover in 2013. At .5 percent that would have been pretty small. Instead they want to charge me 3% of the principal or 1800 dollars!! That is 6x the interest rate. This is the worst fine print I have ever heard (well maybe not the worst). Do I have any recourse except to wait till 2018 or lose 1/3 of the money I earned?

    On 12/27/13, my account was stolen. I'm in CA and all my money was used at a gas station in Louisiana. It took 4 days after the fraud posted for me to even get the dispute forms. I even went into a branch and a manager called and she was appalled I was getting nowhere. I was told it takes 10 business days to possibly be eligible to get a temporary credit. I called on 1/2/14 and asked to speak to a manager. I was told it took 24-48 business hours for a call back. No call. It's 1/6/14 and I call again and they said my dispute is in review with no further info. I ask for another manager and I'm told again 2 days. The fact is I was robbed and US Bank has not done a single thing. Oh and I was charged $15 for a new card.

    I had taken out 3 separate cash advances in December. I had never used this service before and I was to the understanding that there would only be one repayment of one cash advance from each direct deposit over $100. It never clearly stated they would combine the totals from all advances and take them out of one direct deposit. After I had made a $289.34 direct deposit into my account, I had even checked my account to see my balance and there was only the one advance payment made of $100. I did not know they had pulled the other two payments out two days later on the 26th, which made my account, that I thought was now in good standing, be now negative -$251.55.

    I made sure to keep what I thought all of the charges I had coming out after that were covered with the deposits of $22, $55, and $17. When I made those deposits at the bank branch, there was no teller that told me my balance was negative over $200, nor did I receive any notification about the cash advance payments being forced through without my knowledge and before their due date, two days after the initial payment was taken out. I don't feel that they explained any of this information to me, and they had very poor customer service. I have been with them for seven years now and I have never called in wanting fees waived nor have I ever even done a cash advance before. But when I spoke with someone over the phone, they were awful to deal with. I think the way the whole bank handled this situation was very poor and they are losing a long time customer because of their negligence.

    As I tried to get the teller over the phone to do, I would like the advance that was taken out without my knowledge on the 26th of December to be refunded. Which would have never made my account go negative after the 26th and all the fees because of this refunded. I deposited $600 in to my account on the 2nd of January that would cover all of my cash advances and that is still even before they were due on the 6th of January. I made sure to cover all of my expenses since the 26th, and I don't think its fair for them to be able to take the repayment of the loan out with no consent, notice, or approval. I made sure to pay them back before my due date. Why shouldn't they have to keep to their agreement and due dates.

    My situation is a bit different, but at any rate, I have been and continue to get ripped off from this company. I have a prepaid debit card which I have direct deposit on. Apparently, they decide how much money you do or don't have in your account whether they are right or wrong. I am a traveling nurse and 3 times I have gotten stranded out of town when I know there was money in my account. I was never so humiliated when after purchasing gas, I went into the station and got 2 donuts and a milk. The transaction was only $2.?? and my card was declined. I do not carry cash on me and use the debit card all the time because that is where my paycheck is deposited. I was never so embarrassed in my life. I make $24/hour and I can't even pay for a stinking $2.00 transaction when the money was truly there.

    The money showed up the next day. Too late. I had to sleep in my car before my next shift in another town. Didn't know for sure if I had enough gas to get there. And I of course did not have anything to eat that day. I lost my card and a new one had to be ordered. They told me it could take up to 2 weeks to get a new one. I went to the bank to withdraw money and was told I could not do it without the card. Are you kidding me? I have my ID, and you have my account up on your computer. I spent the entire weekend at home because I had no gas in my car and they had all of my $1,000 and I was not allowed to close the account or I would have to forfeit the money that was in there. Not much to eat that weekend either.

    This is inhumane. Are these people nuts?? Now my latest problem is they are shorting me $100.00. US Bank has nothing to do with this card. You have to call the number on the card. Why the hell is their name on the card then? This is who I give my money to for safekeeping... hah. Keeping it from me. I had a hotel room that puts a hold on my card for up to 10 days. After that time, I still wasn't getting the money put back on the card. The hotel called and told them they weren't going to be putting any charges on it and I was then informed that the card company puts a 21 day hold on it? How can they do that with my money? It is PREPAID.

    I found a place for formal complaints. It is called the CFPB (Consumer Financial Protection Bureau), and there is also an attorney's office that has apparently had dealings with this bank. Their email is ** which I will certainly be writing to. I hope this will help you all as this bank is unethical in practice and thieves and they do not deserve to be keeping anybody's monies. You can also file a complaint with the Consumer Complaint Agency. Good luck...

    On Wednesday, Dec. 4th, 2013, I tried to purchase an airline ticket over the phone from Southwest Airlines, to leave on Friday, Dec. 6, 2013, so my Mother could attend our family member's funeral on the following Saturday. The ticket reservation was made and the cost of the ticket was $639.60. We proceeded to purchase the ticket, but my debit card was declined for some unknown reason. I had no idea why it was declined because there was more than enough sufficient funds available in that account with no pending payments. So we tried to run it again immediately, and again the next day on Dec. 5th and once again. At this time I was very concerned and frustrated.

    On Thurs., Dec. 5th, I contacted my local Branch Mgr. at US Bank and asked her what was going on? It seemed like a simple thing to resolve at first, however... Not the case!!! The Branch Mgr. tried to figure it out and called her corporate office for help, but there was still no resolution. I was told by the Branch Mgr. to take it up to another level. She told me to call and leave a formal complaint. Which I did, I kept calling all day long trying to speak to someone that could actually do something to help me.

    Time was of the essence because My Mom had to fly out on Friday to be at the funeral on Saturday morning. As I kept calling and complaining I had to start all over with the details many times. I was hung up on twice, left on eternal hold several times and I was also told that there were no prior notes to follow up to. Then they said that the purchase was indeed approved and they see an approval authorization code that was made on Dec. 4th, with 4 declines for the same purchase following it. Then I was told by a US Bank Resolution Rep. that the pending hold would automatically fall off within 2 to 3 business days. That was crazy! If the purchase had gone through then I would have a ticket from SWA and an email confirmation like I usually do. Well you would think so anyway.

    In the meantime, I needed an alternative to get my Mother an airplane ticket, so last minute I ended up asking my cousin to help me purchase the flight. Okay that was a done deal for now. However my money was still all tied up with US Bank's pending hold for 2-3 business days or until they chose to let it go. Later on Dec. 5th I called Southwest Airlines to see if they could help me find an answer to why the ticket was pending and on hold although never purchased? However they had no purchase or approval history on file. On their end it was as though nothing had ever taken place. Therefore, no money should be on hold, right?

    I called US Bank again to explain all of this again but no one quite understood so they sent me once again to a resolution center. Then a different US Bank Resolution Rep. told me that the pending hold would take 3 to 5 business days to clear. I was already at my wits' end with this whole, crappy, unnecessary situation. On Friday Dec. 6th I finally reached a US Bank Management Rep. named Markeeta. She offered to call SWA and ask for the dept. that has the merchant number to get the actual batch number to release the hold on an authorized approval for a ticket never purchased and does not exist. Of course she did not succeed with this task, and after only 24 minutes, she told me and the SWA Rep. that she has to go because she has spent too much time on this task. HELLO... I've been waiting for my money to clear for 3 days so far and still no resolution. Markeeta told me that she would call me back with an answer or resolution and nope this never happened either. It is now Monday Dec. 9th, 2013 and my money is still on hold for a ticket that was never purchased.

    IS THIS HOW US BANK TREATS ALL OF THEIR CUSTOMERS? I've been a loyal customer with US Bank for about 10 years. I have 4 accounts with them. I like the convenience of the grocery store branch hours and the friendly employees at the branch that I go to. I don't like the corporate customer service because they are unwilling to help their long time customers. They seem to not care at all. We realize that they make their money off of the constant overcharge and interest rate fees without any warning or consideration for these fees building up due to their own bank screw-ups. But can't they at least do it with a smile and pretend to care? You're really better off putting your money in a shoe box!

    I hope that this reaches the proper authorities and management team because No Customer should ever endure such a frustrating non-resolved experience from a Bank like I did. They take the customers' money and don't give back anything in return. If this situation is not resolved within the next 24 hours, I will be reporting this to the BBB, Consumer Affairs, Calif. Attorney General, and as many Social Media groups that I can find. Oh yeah, I will be closing my (4) accounts with US Bank!

They are helping me handle a problem I have with my old CC company who I no longer bank with that I accidently sent a check to through my online account. After getting the runaround for 3 days with my old CC company I called US Bank and they were quick to get on the phone with me and take hold of the situation without giving me a hard time or making excuses.

    I cannot believe how terribly this bank has treated me over the years. The bank has the worst customer service and uses several tactics in order to maximize profit and crush those who use the bank's services. I received a late fee after making my monthly payment because the payment was short $40. The late fee was $50. That's $10 more than the payment was short. I was never notified that the payment was short. You think someone would do this as a courtesy for their customer, especially if you are already making tons of money off of their loan.

    A person at their loan department told me it is not their responsibility to notify me of payment changes or if the payment is short - awesome. I have never received a bill from US Bank because they send it to the wrong address. They refuse to change the address on the account to my mailing address. (Does this seem crazy to anyone else?) I get it. You want to punish me for diligently paying my mortgage, being on time, but coming up $40 short without being notified of a payment change. I mean someone has to make banks seem evil. US bank is just making sure to keep this reputation.

    I will never bank with you, ever again. I plan tell everyone about this experience. How a bank took an extra $50 bucks (nothing to them) from a grad student during Christmas without giving notification of the increase in payment - talk about heartless. How the customer service agent laughed about the amount of $50 and how your practices were a direct result of the incorrect payment.

    I wanted to open a US Bank account so I would have a local branch to deposit my checks in. I've been with Capitol One 360 for about 7 years and love them. After using US Bank for 3 weeks I've discovered that they will screw you for $36 on an "insufficient funds" charge, which Capitol One 360 has NEVER done. As in, NO charges or penalties for insufficient funds at Capitol One. I've never been assessed any "fees" like this however US Bank excels in "fees" with their customers. They charge .50 per electronically deposited check, Capitol One 360 is free. US Bank charges a percentage if you want to transfer money to another individual, Capitol One 360 is free. US Bank's website sucks and was apparently coded by a 10 year old for a school project.

    I had to call in multiple times to ask where to locate information. If you want to open multiple savings accounts, you have to fill out an application for each one! Apparently, they're too stupid to realize they already approved you to have a checking and savings account at their bank. Do they not keep track of this information?!?! Capitol One 360 will let you create savings account after savings account online in a matter of seconds. Hey, what a novel idea. I'm closing my account with US "we're going to rip you off at every turn" Bank and just sticking with Capitol One 360.

    I recently PCS'd (Permanent Change of Station) to Japan. As soon as I arrived, I changed my mailing address online to my new, overseas address. For obvious reasons, there are no branches in the local area. During a rainstorm, I lost my check card. I called US BANK immediately and cancelled the card, no problem. I then asked them to send me a replacement card. Shouldn't be too much of a concern. I have a few checks I can use for emergency expenses until it arrives. Or so I thought. While on the phone with US BANK, I was informed that my account still reflected my stateside address as the only valid mailing address on my account. When I informed them that I no longer had access to that address, they said the only way to make the change to my address on record was to physically go to a branch and present proper ID.

    When I explained to them that I was 6000 miles from my "local" branch, they stated that there were no alternatives, including having a registered family member with an active Power of Attorney make the change for me. A $3000, 24-hour trip to fix a (usually) $1000 account? I think not. I switched to USAA within minutes of that phone call. Then, when I attempted to wire my funds from my US BANK account to my new USAA account, US BANK informed me that the only way to do so was to go in to a local branch. Again, won't happen. A few minutes on the phone with USAA, and they had set up a means to transfer the money within days. And the majority of the wait time was verification that I owned the US BANK account. Furthermore, every time I called US BANK, the customer support was rude, uncaring, or generally dismissive of my problems.

    I have had a checking account with US bank for several years. Originally I had an account with Downey Savings for approximately 5 years. Then they were bought out by US Bank over 8 years ago. I originally opened this account in California and moved to Hawaii where there are no branches 8 years ago. I left this account open for the last 8 years since we moved because I receive very occasional child support payments through that account. It was a free checking account that I never had monthly fees for. They have never given me a hard time because of the infrequent deposits or low balances kept in the account. I check this account online once a month or so to check for payments, as there is no branch on the island I live on.

    I tried several times to access my account online during the last week, however kept getting a generic error. I just called and spoke with a customer service representative who was completely rude and unhelpful. He told me that I had been receiving monthly charges for the last 5 years and that I was well aware of the fact that my account was overdrawn...which I wasn't aware of. I have never had monthly charges for my free checking account. I was told that because I had not had any deposits for the last 3 months and because my account was overdrawn approximately $4 for less than 1 month, my account was closed. I have not received any notice that I was overdrawn. I have received no notice that my account was in any danger of being closed, nor that it was actually closed. The representative was argumentative, stating several times that I have been charged monthly fees since 2007 (I wasn't ever charged this). He said that I should have been aware that my account was being closed because he had record of a letter being sent.

    I am sitting here blown away. How can this company just close an account like this? An account that has been open for years? In the past if the account was overdrawn for any reason, I was contacted by mail to remedy the situation. And I was never told that my account could be closed for being overdrawn $4 for less than 30 days because of a monthly charge they placed on my account of $8.95 that I have never been charged for before this. The representative just kept saying the same things over and over again, but was unable to give me any answers as to why this suddenly happened. Additionally he was very rude. I will never have any business with the company and strongly urge others to stay away from them.

    US Bank Home Mortgage is stringing people along and not really modifying loans! They will ask for the same paperwork over and over and ask for things that aren't even related to the type of modification you are asking for and then claim they don't have a complete package. Meanwhile you are turning everything and more that they ask for in far before deadlines... Then boom, sneak foreclosure lawsuit. They are not supposed to be bringing foreclosure action against you while your file is being reviewed for HAMP or HAFA. This is a federal regulation! Somehow they are breaking laws and disregarding federal regulations and still flying under the radar.

    The federal government, CFPB and FDIC needs to take a serious look at their fraudulent business practices. Thousands of people are still fraudulently being forced through the foreclosure process. In my personal experience, they have even tried to doctor dates in correspondence! This company is more than bad news, its practices are predatory and disgusting. Do not do business of any sort with US Bank!

She, also said how great the rates are and how positive customer service these loan dudes provide.

I called, no answer. I left messages and they didn't return phone calls for another month and half. JD calls and says," Sorry we can't help ya." Wishes me great day and hangs up.

    I contacted the bank and asked for little more info than "See Ya". I was amazed to learn that lady said that loan was denied because I don't have stable income or credit. I am 12-year US Bank customer with 742 credit Score and have annual income of $162,000. More than anything, I am disappointed in the Customer Service US Bank provided me.

    About a year ago I needed a home equity loan. I was referred to U.S. Bank by a mortgage broker who said they had the best rates and great customer service. So I applied at a local branch. I filled out the application and gave it to the loan manager. After a week of no response I left messages. Since I was not in a hurry I waited patiently for a call back. After 4 weeks I finally got a call from the loan manager who apologized that he was out because his wife had a baby. I guess he is the only one that could process my application??? It took several more weeks till I had the loan paid out. I found out a week later that other banks had much better rates (bad on me to trust the loan manager that insisted they had the best rates), so I contacted the loan manager and he told me that it was too late. I was locked in for 3 years or would have to pay a $420 penalty. However I could avoid this if I opened an investment of over $26,000.

    I tried to transfer some mutual funds, but found out that U.S. Bank was unable to transfer them in kind (in order to avoid getting taxed on the sale). I tried to get with the investment banker at the U.S. Bank branch and set up an appointment so he could help me transfer some stocks in kind. I set up an appointment and when I got to the branch he had left a note that he had to leave. I tried 2 more times and finally gave up on him. I figured out how to do this myself and opened an investment account online and transferred $35,000 in stock. In the meantime I was trying to make my payments on the equity loan from an external account. This was impossible on-line so I contacted customer service.

    No one seemed to know who was responsible for this type of transaction. I was transferred from line to line and finally got to a department that told me that this is not possible with U.S. Bank. I could not believe that I could not make a simple $40 deposit from an external account to pay my bill and insisted to get me someone that could help. After another 10 transfers I finally got to the correct department. No problem, it only costs $11 for this transaction. I was appalled. I searched for a customer feedback form on-line and after some searching found one. I filled it out with all my comments, submitted it.... and got an error message. That was the last straw for me.

    I decided to close the equity account and they charged me $420 despite my investment. I transferred my assets back out of U.S. Bank and was charged another $75 closing fee for not maintaining at least $75 in the investment account. I called the financial counselor line and was on hold for another 30 min. I wanted to close the account and was told it closed automatically when my investment fell below $75. This was a $500 mistake that I will never make with U.S. Bank again. Good news is that I will still save more in interest in the next 6 months than what this cost me (that's how bad the rate was). I just wish I had gone to the other institution (Service Credit Union) first!

    US Bank Wayzata, Branch Manager Ryan ** are illegally holding money based on a data error provided to them by another bank. This error, that the social security number used on the account was that of a 67-year-old deceased woman, was proven to be false by submitting official documentation from the social security administration.

    Unfortunately, I had to get a US Bank checking account to receive money from my ex. So I received my Visa debit card in the mail and when I go to call and activate the card, I am transferred to a representative who tells me the card was closed and so was my temporary debit card. I was completely flabbergasted and asked why my cards were closed and they told me they didn't know why and that I would have to call the branch. I call the branch and she tells me because my account was negative for 2 days, she closed my cards! I have banked with Chase for years and there have been a couple times when I went negative and they never closed my cards. Then she proceeds to tell me that she can just open my card back up, so she supposedly opens it back up, I try to use it at an ATM and it tells me my card is invalid.

    By that time she was already gone for the day so I couldn't contact her so I had to call customer service, they told me that once a card is closed it cannot be reopened, so this idiot lied to me and now I can't get any of my money out at the ATM. So then I go to the drive-up teller to make a withdrawal and the banker refuses to give me my money. she claims that a deposit is still pending and I don't have funds in my account but she is wrong because I go on my mobile banking and I call customer service again and they tell me the money is in my account. This bank is a complete joke!! I am so glad I have Chase as my regular bank. Do not waste your time and money with this place.

I sent it out in the beginning of September 2013 and was told the amount to pay and the address. I was told 3 weeks later they never received it. I then reissued another check. After 10 days, I called to check to see if they received it and they said no. I had to have a stop payment put on it again. I then was notified they did receive it but they did not post it until after I put a stop payment on it. I again called US Bank and this time, they told me to pay online. I did make a payment online. After I made the payment online, I called a representative who then told me, "You can not pay online," that they will not accept it since it is a payoff of over $9,000.00 dollars. I am so disgusted with this bank.

    I then called another representative who told me they will accept payment online; however, I would have to pay additional fee since they do not process online payments until 3 business days. This is outrageous!!!! I will never do business with this bank again. They do nothing to help a loyal customer who wants to pay them!!! Such a disgrace. I am still hoping that my payment goes through online and no other fees will be accrued on my account because of their neglect. One representative told me to pay in one of their branches. I explained that US Bank is not in NYC where I live. The customer service is truly horrible. I never heard of a bank that makes it so difficult to pay off a loan.

    I am a 40 customer of US Bank. I had an equity line of credit on my condo with US Bank and my mortgage with Bank of America. In June of 2013, US Bank solicited me to move my mortgage to them because I had the equity line of credit with them for the past 14 years. They told me it would be a seamless process and I could keep my equity line in place. I live in an 8 unit condo projects built in 1980 in one of the better areas of Kirkland, WA.

    I was the CEO of a local trade association with an employment contract. In May, I retired with my employer continuing to pay me for the next 6 years. Also, I have a 401(K) that is well funded.

    The bank made me jump through all kinds of documentation hoops treating my condo complex (the 8 units) as if it was just being built. I ended up having the unit appraised 4 times, my credit checked 5 times, being told I was within weeks of closing at least 5 times, filling out the paperwork to close on line because I would be in France, and giving the bank every piece of financial history I had. The last draw was a request that I again fill out the condo information with all required documents.

    It is astonishing to me that any customer of any business could be treated as poorly as I have been. The US Bank mortgage person with whom I have dealt and his manager both admitted that US Bank is inept as doing mortgage refinances. Another US Bank employee told me that despite the perks he would receive getting his mortgage refinanced through US Bank, he went someplace else to get his refinance because they do such a "piss poor job with refinances." Of course, I've been strung along for 18 months, jumped through more hoops than a show dog and missed the lowest rates in recorded history. My file must be at least a foot thick. In a past life, I worked as a bank lawyer and never have I seen such abusive behavior toward a customer.

    I've told US Bank I want the money back that I've already paid them. I'm closing my checking and savings accounts, refinancing with someone else at a higher rate, paying off my equity line and telling US Bank to shove it!

    I have been a US Bank customer for close to 15 years (ever since they bought out FirstStar Bank) and have held a free checking account. Due to recent changes in US Bank's policies, I am now being charged an $8.95 a month "maintenance fee". I went to my local branch to ask why this was happening and was told that my account no longer fit the direct deposit/balance guidelines of $1000/$1500. I had recently been laid off from my long time job and no longer receive direct deposits. Although I am looking for a full-time job, my current job is part-time and is not direct deposit. The teller seemed sympathetic to my complaints but offered no real solution.

    I returned home and called the US Bank customer service number. I spoke with Julie who was apologetic about my situation but said there were no real options to retain free checking. I was told I could open a money-market account or line of credit with the bank. I qualify for neither due to lack of extra money for savings and a ruined credit score (partially due to unfair overdraft practices for which the bank is currently being sued) respectively. When I explained that issue to Julie as well as voicing my opinion that US Bank was telling me they no longer wanted my business, she offered to put me through to her manager Kelly. Kelly repeated the same unrealistic options for retaining a fee-free account and seemed rather dismissive of my complaint.

    I asked Kelly if this seemed greedy or discriminatory in any way and she refused to answer and asked me to have a nice weekend smugly before hanging up. I do plan on moving my funds to a different institution but since my complaints fell on deaf ears with the bank, I decided to file this complaint. Large banks taking money from their most economically at-risk members may not be illegal but it is discriminatory, sneaky, and evidence of unchecked greed. I never signed anything authorizing such a change in my account and was not even notified that the change was going to occur. I wonder how many people in my situation don't even know that the banks are stealing from them.

    I opened a business checking account with a local Tucson US Bank branch. I applied for a business loan. I was well financed and requested less money than I had on deposit. The bank manager called me and told me my loan was rejected because of a 10 year old bankruptcy. The loan had been pre-filtered and although I have had excellent credit since the bankruptcy, it was no use to discuss this with them. I had to file a complaint with the consumer finance government helpline at www.consumerfinance.gov to get an answer from US Bank. When they finally responded, they said that they never give a loan to an individual or business that has ever filed a bankruptcy. Never! There is no point for me to do any sort of business with them as they won't give me a credit card or line of credit no matter how much cash I have in their bank.

    The consequence was a month long delay to figure out if I could a loan or not. I have since then applied for business loans through 1 credit union and a local business supported lender. Neither has outright rejected me for an old bankruptcy. Lesson learned: stay away from big banks which only have profit in focus. Support and give business to local banks and credit unions!

    This is not the first time I have tried to file a complaint or tried to find out who I would file a complaint to at US Bank. I still haven't been able to get that information from anyone at US Bank. The first time it happened, it cost me over $700.00 and it was their mistake but it was a joint account and the other person on the account, who was married, did not know what to do. She got nervous and paid the money for overdraft fees as she did not want her husband to get upset with her. She knew that we had overdraft protection on the account as I did also. She was not able to get a hold of me and they convinced her to pay them the money as it was getting higher and higher daily! When I got back into town and she told me what happened, I gave her the money back but they had fired the whole branch and gave me the runaround since they had gotten the money from my friend. It was never resolved.

    The woman's name who set up the account was Michele ** at the Burien, Washington branch. I left that branch and moved to the Boulevard Park branch because I liked the woman who was the manager there. Her name was Maryann ** and she was great! She eventually quit working for the bank because she didn't agree with some of US Bank's policies. I have had a major problem at that branch with someone else who was the manager at the time and could not get any help then because they make it impossible to get any further than a branch manager! I am leaving the bank all together now because once again I am stuck with a "know it all" new manager who doesn't even know the policies of US Bank and talks down to me and basically called me a liar! She was misinformed.

    But I will not wait it out for a new branch manager this time. You see I cannot leave a branch and keep my same account at US Bank and I find their behavior of "secrecy" to be more of a "conspiracy"!!! You cannot resolve some issues with them unless you go to your "home branch" manager! So I am leaving the bank all together. Supposedly, someone is going to call me to resolve this but I have tried to email my complaint and even though they promise a response or a call back within 24 hours, it has happened only once and even then, I was not left a contact number for that person, whoever they were. Really bad practices if you ask me! And I am still furious about the $700's they stole from me. They claim that since the account was closed, they have no record of it at all!

    I have banked with US Bank for 10 years. I was active with this account for the first 7 and the last 3 years it has been sitting with about 10 dollars in it. I only kept it open in case of an emergency. For instance if I needed to borrow money from anyone in my family they could easily get to the account from anywhere in the country. So in August of this year I had a family emergency where I needed to borrow a good amount of money and I needed it fast so I had to have cash deposited so it would be immediately available. My uncle drove a US Bank in California and deposited the money into my account as well as filling out all the proper tax forms to make everything legal.

    I went to my local bank the next day and pulled the money out as well and filling out the same forms and doing everything by the book. I even have receipts showing where I spent the money and exactly why I needed cash. Now a month and a half later I get a letter from US Bank saying they are closing my account. So I called to find out why and they said it was because of the money that was put in my account and they were treating me like I did something illegal. They even said I did do something illegal because I hadn't actively been using the account and then to use it for a large transaction. The man on the phone was so mean to me that by the end of the conversation I was in tears because I knew I did everything by the book and so did my uncle but they didn't care.

    I found out since it's because they weren't making any money off me because I took the money out so fast and because I hadn't used it much before so they made up reasons and lies about why they cancelled me. They only care about how much money they make off of you. Not anything else. I have never done anything illegal in my life and to be treated so bad and like I did something wrong it actually really hurt me. I have every bit of proof in the world that everything I did was legit but they don't care. Myself and no one else in my family will ever do business with them because of how they treated me.

We questioned this at the time of obtaining the loan and the loan officer said we had to pay sales tax again at that point. We almost walked out of the bank but decided we would just go ahead with the loan.

    A year later, we get a phone call from the loan officer saying the IL Dept of Revenue wants to charge us sales tax but since this was a family purchase we should only have to pay $15.00 (keep in mind at the of the purchase from my husband we paid an additional $1500.00 in sales tax). I told him we paid sales tax and it was calculated into our loan. He told me he needed a copy of my cancelled check for 15.00 again stating the $1500.00 was figured into our loan.

    Needless to say we paid an extra $1500.00 that we didn't need to pay along with the fact that US bank is also making money in interest on that $1500.00. My question to US Bank is if you collected this so called sales tax and worded it that way on my loan papers why a year later is the IL Dept of Revenue asking for money? It should have been sent in shortly after the loan was obtained. I am very unhappy with US Bank and would never bank with them again.

First $20, then $40, then $100 increments. I brought bank receipts in and they "could not find" my money. They had no idea where it went and refused to reimburse me.

    I received overdraft fees for something they did, and they built up to $320 in charges alone. I went to talk to a branch manager, and she got in my face. She started to yell at me (mind you, this was a grocery store branch) flaring her arms around as if there was a bee on the loose. She stated that I was wrong and a liar. My receipts meant nothing and was told to leave. I called to complain. They said she had so many negative reviews they had to relocate her. After that, I was hearing horror stories from the workers and what the corporation was doing to them. It seemed to be ** all around.

An employee answered and they told them my information, what the reason of the call was for, and that I owed them money for a closed account due to their lack of interest to resolve an issue they created. I had to threaten to make a police report before they quit. This was the worst bank I have ever gone through and would never go back.

    We had PFF Bank & Trust over twenty-two years until they were taken over by the FDIC. U.S. Bank acquired the assets/liabilities and, at first, I was glad. However, within the first year U.S. Bank had changed our Money Market CHECKING account into a SAVINGS account. This made our withdrawals subject to "Regulation D" (limits on withdrawals and transfers from savings accounts). Since they gradually changed their statements we didn't notice until I was in a branch and told about it. I asked for documentation about their notification but they could not provide anything. I withdrew 60% of the money that was in that account and deposited it elsewhere.

    Today, I authorized a transfer to pay off an account through their Bill Pay Service. We've used the bill pay almost four years. The account that we're paying off has always received an electronic deposit as we've been paying them through U.S Bank's Bill Pay twice a month. I received an alert that the payment was NOT going electronically but instead, U.S. Bank had opted to send a draft/check. I called 1800USBANKS and talked to a "banker." She told me that it was done with a draft/check was due to the amount. So I asked her where the disclosure was to that effect, as they are required by the Office Of The Comptroller of The Currency to disclose such things. They said there was no disclosure. "It's just the way we do it if it's a large amount" the "banker" said.

    I was in the Banking/Financial Services Field over twenty-eight years and U.S. Bank is NOT doing proper disclosure. So I'm send all of the documentation to the Comptroller, Treasury Department.

    If you have a question you can call the telephone number of 1800USBANKS and ask the same question to 10 "bankers" and get different versions. They lack uniformity in training. I've put the word "banker" in quotes as many banks, including U.S Bank, give that title out to mostly anyone who works in the operation side. I had to take a minimum of American Bankers Association courses just to earn a "banker" certification. Ask the "bankers" at U.S. Bank if they've taken any ABA courses. Most have not heard about the ABA. No wonder U.S. Bank is one of the worst in customer relations.

    So my car is fixed and the body shop wants their money. The body shop is charging me $21 a day to hold the car. Now I must take out a loan to pay for the car until they find my money. US Bank says this is my problem not theirs even though they are the one that will not return my money from insurance. I have a large sum of money loaned through US Bank but I am in the process of refinancing everything with someone that actually cares about the customer!! You can also forget about talking to a supervisor because no one will connect you to them or let you talk to them, so you are just stuck with bad service. Do Not Use Them If You Have Any Other Options!!! I have always been a very loyal person but I am done with US Bank.

    In the beginning everything was fine, then about three months later they start charging a maintenance fee without informing me. Also the account was to be paperless and opt out of sharing info, which they don't understand either concept. This being noted I became overdrawn due to fees uninformed about. Got that problem solved and then they tell me I have to get a secured credit card with someone else to keep my checking account. I’m not going to, I see no reason why any person should have to pay some company their money they worked for. Filed a complaint with the BBB which turned out to be a waste of time. Now just received letter saying they’re going to block me from opening an account with any other financial institution. I don't believe this can be legal and should hope my post here will prove just how crooked this company IS.

    I closed my account with US Bank over 7 years ago and will never do business with them EVER again. I am banking with 2 other banks and have no issues or problems like the one I had with US bank. My situation at the time was I had my small VA check deposited into my US Bank account and also paid my AOL account through this account but I really used my other 2 accounts to handle day to day personal business so I was unfortunately not on top of US Bank and their practices.

    So one day I so happened to check my US bank account and it was overdrawn $172. When I called to see what happened what was explained to me was when my $25 payment for AOL came thru to be paid I was 75 cent short. Mind you, this overdraft happened early in the month and it was now going into the next month and I didn't get any notification in the mail WHATSOEVER! The customer service rep went on to tell me that I should be grateful that they went on and paid AOL since my account was short. So I should be grateful to pay $200 for a month of AOL email service - huh? I should be grateful that you charged me $172 for 75 cents! I think not!

    I talked with so many rep (which I can agree are VERY RUDE) that were of no help and did not see anything wrong with the banks practices of "not notifying you of overdrafts on your account and charging you $7/day everyday your account is in the negative". Now I am hip that most banks have adopted this lame practice and I will never fall prey to this again but had US Bank notified me in a timely manner I would have been able to bring my account balance up before the fees got so out of control.

    I've come to realize that it is big money for banks when consumers overdraft their bank accounts - they encourage you to do it. I was recently sent a letter from one of my current banks encouraging me to use my debit card (because I don't, I just withdraw from the ATM what I need) but I am going to continue not using my debit card because that can cause unnecessary overdraft charges as well. Moral of the story is I will NEVER do business with US Bank again and hope anyone that does watches them closely.

    I have been a solid customer of US Bank for 3 years and am approaching the end of my lease. I called for a pay off so that I could trade in my car and buy a new one and was given the number that had to be paid. The dealer I went to for the new cars said they would pay the amount asked less $600, which I was obviously going to have to pay. I was transparent with US Bank and told them about the mileage overage when I got the pay off. However, US BANK would not accept the payment from the dealer for the amount they told me was the pay off. They said "You should have read the fine print. We have the right not to accept that from anyone but you personally, and we can charge whatever we want." Now, they will take the car back (even though I had a dealer willing to pay the price they wanted for the pay off) then present me with a bill for the overage.

    I got through to a supervisor, Robin, who stated "We are not going to do that" when I asked why they couldn't either take the payoff from the dealer or waive the overage charge. What is blatantly obvious is they know they many of their customers cannot pay off the leases out of their personal funds and they chose to not accept pay-offs from dealers because they set those pay off numbers so highly. One of their reps told me that a dealer is not allowed to pay off the car which is a total lie because they quoted the dealer a number $8,000 higher to pay off the lease than they quoted me. They want to take every single penny they can from you without any consideration for whether or not you have been a good customer.

    I had a perfectly good solution and was more than able through that solution to pay them the amount THEY requested as a payoff; however, because they felt there was more money to be made by refusing that option, they now want to pinch every penny they can from me. Be very careful when you lease a car using US Bank. Read the fine print and be sure to understand your pay off options at the end of lease because by their own admission, they have "many ways" to calculate what it is all of which are designed to take more money out of your pocket. I work in the sustainability industry and US Bank has one of the most unsustainable approaches to customer service that I have ever come across.

    My car was leased under US Bank. When I moved last year, I updated my address on my license and also updated my address with USB. USB has been sending statement to my new address. But USB failed to update my address with DMV and failed to advise me that they could send me a POA (power of attorney) to go to DMV to change my address myself. We have citations that were past due from 6 months that I just found out last week when DMV tracked me down. I paid the citations then found out that there were late fees. I called DMV and they told me that the leasing company was responsible to change their address since they are the owner. DMV told me to escalate the issue with USB and have them pay the late fee.

    I did so, got two nasty representatives that did not want to take responsibility. The third one was nice and she forwarded me to the supervisor. The supervisor, John, also refused to take responsibility that they missed to change the address or advise me, but did not give me a good answer why. All he said was that if the POA was what I wanted, he could send to me. When I told him he should also take care of the fee, he said the lease was ending anyway and forwarded me to the lease termination department without another word. I have one more year to go on the lease, and that stupid guy did not even notice. Now I held for 10 min., and spoke to someone from the termination dept.

    This is comical. I got paid last Friday and paid a few bills - including a car payment. Through the weekend, that car payment WAS reflected in my balance (both online, and by calling the 800 number). Today, I logged in to my account online to check my balance, and that car payment is nowhere to be found. It's as if that $150 payment never existed, which is weird, because again... when I made that payment last week, it WAS reflected in my US Bank balance immediately. I thought it was maybe a glitch with their server, so I called the 800 number to check my balance that way - SAME BALANCE (which doesn't reflect the recent car payment).

    This is not right. I KNOW I paid that car payment. I went to the bank that I have the loan through, and in fact, the payment was received on July 5th. Again though up until today... that exact payment WAS reflected in my balance at US Bank. So, where has it gone??? They also sent me an email with my most current statement. I checked the statement and this would be the THIRD source that shows a balance NOT reflecting the car payment. I've tried calling customer service and all they do is inform me of my available balance (which again doesn't reflect the car payment). They say that all they can provide me with is what's available and what my statement shows - which is what I've been reading all day.

    So, where did this $150 go?!?! The bank that I have my loan through seems to think it went through just fine - THANK GOODNESS. But what goofy stuff is US Bank trying to pull? If I get comfortable with my statement at US Bank - and assume the balance is CORRECT, I can only imagine what overdraft charges will accumulate. Knowing my luck, US Bank will somehow stumble upon that car payment in the next few days, and that amount will be deducted from my statement (which it should have been this entire time).

    Is it just me, or should online statements be CURRENT and ACCURATE? People pay their bills off that information! How can they get away with such inaccuracy?!?! Fine. I'll play their game. I've printed off my "current" statement. I also took a screen shot of my online account showing my balance - both void of any car payment. This way, if I somehow get caught in overdraft charges because of their mistake, I have leverage to take serious action - legal if necessary. Anyone else have a similar problem?

    US BANK WILL SCREW YOU ON THEIR CASH+ VISA CARD. This should be a warning to potential new customers and existing customers who apply or currently use the CASH PLUS Visa card from US Bank. They screwed us out of $200 in rewards because of a technicality with their website. We are so upset; we are now looking for another bank as well as cancelling their credit card. We received the US Bank Visa card about 2 months ago. It is a card where you select categories online that you want 5% cash back (two categories) and 2% cash back (one category). Every other category is 1%. Right, it is confusing to remember this crap even if it does work as you expect.

    Here is what happened: We went online on May 19 to select FURNITURE for our 5% category because we planned to go out the next weekend to buy furniture. The site registered our selection. We did not yet select our other 5% and 2% category as we were not sure about an upcoming vacation. On May 25th, six days after selecting the furniture category, we bought about $5,200 in furniture. Later on May 28th, we selected our other categories from the site. When our statement came, we received only 1% reward for our purchase! Their records show our category selection was made AFTER our purchase, which was totally incorrect. The phone rep said they required ALL THREE selections to be made before ANY of the selections go into effect. However, there is no mention of this on their site. The site registered our selection because when we logged back in on the day of buying the furniture, the site showed our previous selection.

    Bottom line is that the representatives said there was nothing they would do. They offered a small additional $50 as a compromise, which would still leave us $150 short on reward cash. That is not acceptable when it is their system that caused the error to begin with. Now I am on a campaign to place information on every website I own and on every complaint board to warn people about the US Bank Cash+. This is more about the principle than my time. US BANK, rename your card to CASH MINUS because that is what you do - cheat customers out of money. While on the subject, I don’t think they want you to know when you get cheated. Their statement shows a single line with the amount of money you earned on purchases. Thus, you don’t know how much was at 1%, 2% or 5% and don’t know which purchases earned it. If the discrepancy hadn’t been so high, we might not have noticed the difference.

    As a comparison, we will just start using our Fidelity American Express card for everything until we find another Visa or MasterCard. With our AMEX, we get a flat 2% on EVERYTHING. No limits, no remembering what to select for this month, etc., and AMEX shows on the statement how much money we earn on EVERY purchases, item by item. Shame on you, US BANK, for cheating us. It should be illegal. My complaints, bad reviews, web postings, and registration of this page with every search engine will continue until you set things straight. Thus, postings will likely be there forever!

In addition to inappropriate comments from tellers (one teller, after I deposited my grandmother's inheritance check that she had left me to pay some college loan bills, asked if I had a rich daddy who was paying my bills for me! Others have shouted my social security number across the room and given me the wrong receipt with someone else's account info). This experience takes the cake. As a teenager, I set up an account with them. One of the defaults on the account, which was in small print and not explained to me, was that if the account went below $100, $200 would be deposited from a credit line. As a kid, I didn't pay as good attention to my account as I should have and before I knew it, I'd racked up a good amount of money in credit debt.

    No biggie! US bank said they'd just take out a small payment each month to pay it off. Cool. Except that within the last few months, the bank began taking out larger and larger payments at random dates without warning or explanation as to why the fees had changed. I called them several times and after each call, they insisted it was fixed. It was not. This morning, after having paid several bills yesterday with my new paycheck, I checked my account to find that they had taken HALF of my paycheck towards this auto pay credit line... and consequently, all of my payments bounced and they slapped me with the overdraft fees, which left me with about $38 to last three weeks... Even then, I'm so far behind I'll never catch up.

    I called, spent several hours on the phone, raised hell and though they said it was definitely an unauthorized withdrawal on an unauthorized day, they're not sure there is anything they can do about it. I am more than pissed... The only thing I can do is put this out on the internet: DO NOT BANK WITH US BANK!!! They are terrible, disgusting thieves.

    A few years ago, I had an account with US Bank. I notified them that I was closing my account and would like them to deposit the money ($25.00) that I had earned from using my debit card. I figured out how much money I would then have and made two purchases... one for a drink or something and the other for gasoline. After those two, I would have a balance of over $3.00 left in my account. My account was closed (I thought), and I went on about my business.

    I am disabled and live on that so I have to be very careful with my money as I have no one to turn to for help in case of a problem. I expected to receive my small balance in the mail. I didn't. After some time, I received a notice that I owed the bank a significant amount of money. I called the bank and was told that my earnings were never transferred into my account and therefore had been overdrawn. The woman told me it happened all the time and that she would take care of it. She didn't.

    I then contacted the president of another branch of US Bank as I had previously done business in that branch. He told me to come in and he would take care of it. I called the bank to check and make sure that he was in, and they said he was not there. I did that several times and continued to be told he was not in that day. I finally went into the bank and was told once again that he was not there. I asked the lady when he might be in because I had been trying to get together with him for several weeks. She informed me that he no longer worked there and hadn't for some time. All they had to do was tell me that weeks earlier.

    Before US Bank was done with me, they said I owed them over $1,250.00 when I actually should have been given my lousy three dollars plus change. I have not been able to have a bank account in the last few years because of these incredibly neglectful, untrained, and thoughtless people.

They charged me $50 in overdraft fees for an account that was 31 cents over!!!

I called the 800 number on the back of my debit card and again was treated with disinterest. The manager there must have thought I was stupid and kept repeating the same things over and over - that the 31 cents caused an overdraft and that the $50 in fees was fair and customary. I went to get my heart medications filled at my pharmacy and guess what? It was $30 and I didn't have it, thanks to US Bank.

They then reset your password to 'abc123' until you log-in to change it, which is also an extremely bush league security practice.

    Got an RV loan that was bought by US Bank. Was told any amount paid above the principal monthly would apply to interest. Not so. After a year, they said no payment was due. We had paid ahead 6 months. Would they credit my principal amount to the loan? No way. I would have had to send principal payments to a different address. Then when I paid down my principal to sell the vehicle, they could not credit my loan with the cash American money payment for 24 hours because of bank policy (probably to charge me an extra day interest on the amount).

    I have been receiving calls from a collection agency about an outstanding balance from 2008. I closed my account back in 2008 because I moved. They wrote me a check for my account balance, around $1000. I explained to them that the only reason I was closing the account was because I was moving the next day, and would be located closer to a different bank. I was never told about any pending charges, never told to watch for pending charges - as I didn't know there were any. US Bank has been "sending letters" to the address that I moved from for years, and I have never been made aware of an outstanding balance.

    Now I am getting harassing calls from a collection agency claiming I owe the almost $900. First, I can't believe this is the first I am hearing of this in over 5 years! I would have happily paid any balance left on my account, had I known. This company should have done a much better job in contacting me as soon as the problem occurred. Now 5 years later, I have paid almost $700 to a collections agency to get them off my back. I was in college in 2008, and there is no way that the pending charge could have been for very much. I am extremely angry and upset, and want to be reimbursed for this ridiculous charge - when your company didn't do its job. I want to speak with someone immediately about this issue, and will continue to press this issue until it has been resolved. This is unbelievable.

    I have nothing but bad experiences with US Bank. I'll start with their rude, unhelpful staff. My first time is when I asked for my account number from the teller. The man scoffed and wrote it for me on a piece of scratch paper. Then about a month later, I deposited my check into my account and once I went to use my card, it said I didn't have funds. I drove back to figure out why it wasn't in my account. They had no proof I had even deposited it! I had to dig through my trash, my car and basically anywhere it could be to show them the only proof I had left.

    To make matters worse, about four months later I received a call saying my account has been having activity in Canada and that it was stopped due to fraud. They stole about $100, filed all my paperwork and sent it back, but never was compensated. Instead, they told me the money never actually went through, yet I had multiple statements showing it. They refused to do anything to help me. They just cut my card and said it was cancelled, but I'm still getting overdraft paperwork from that account which I didn't even know was still active; saying I'm about to be in collections from my savings trying to deposit into my cancelled checking account. They screwed me over multiple times. I would never have anything good to say about this company. Shut it down!

    I had used US Bank for about 3 or 4 years and that's all I needed. What finally crossed the line for me wasn't their overly rude employees or the bank's overall poor communication, but their astronomically high fees. I finally ended my bank account this year when I had had enough with the fees. My first instance is when I had gone over the amount of money I had in my account by a dollar. Keep in mind I had no idea I had gone over my amount. And in a week and half's time, my fees were almost at 200 dollars.

    Now here's the kicker. The bank had never let me know I was over my balance until almost 2 weeks later. I get a slip of paper stating my account balance is -$78. By the time I could talk to the bank, the negative balance had almost dipped into the $200's. And to no avail could I get the bank to budge on anything. Now I am a proud member and happy with CES Credit Union. And they by far do anything and everything better than US bank... But that’s not saying much...

    For the past year, I have been going back and forth with the credit bureaus due to identity theft. I had received calls to my home from scammers trying to get money from me. I received a call today, 05/10/2013, from a legit company named CF Group & Associates. It seems that a bank account was opened up in my name at US Bank, and was closed for $750 in overdraft fees. CF Group told me that they had sent information to my home regarding this; however, I never received any mail. They also told me that if I didn't get it paid by 05/13/2013, then US Bank was going to file a civil suit against me and charge me for the court costs.

    I have decided to pay the amount in order to avoid the court costs. However, I will never do business with US Bank in the future. I will be sure to tell anyone and everyone I know about this experience. I understand that people should pay what they owe. However, I was left with little choice in the matter. I am also appalled at the fact that US Bank is filing civil suits against people, in this crappy economy, for $750. US Bank must be really hard up. I honestly hope that they go out of business.

    In April 2012, I bought a car and was in US Bank Spring Hill, TN branch. As we were doing the loan and paperwork, the banker insisted I open a credit card. I did not want or need a credit card but he kept insisting. I took the Flex Perks Credit card with a $4,000 limit. I was told or misinformed that there had be no interest charges and I could use the card for purchases and cash advancements with no fees added. What a lie! From April to August, I used the card and charged a total of $3,958. In nine payments, I paid back $1,071.21 by calling each time to see what amount I owed. In Jan., Feb. and March 2013, I asked for an itemized statement as statements were not sent timely. I've had to call to see what amount I owed each month. Finally, after three months on March 25th, US Bank sent me an itemized statement. I almost had a heart attack to see the astronomical charges added to this mere $4,000 card. I still owe $3,801.58 and probably more by now.

    Each month shows interest, cash advance charges, late fees and interest on top of interest has been added to my account in the amount of a total of $913.99, making my balance now $3,801.58, which is barely over $100 of total I charged overall. This is absurd! I have called and talked to hundreds of people during this last year in an effort to resolve this issue. All I get is being shifted from one person to another who never helps me. Hours of phone calls with music playing in my ear, issues not resolved, while they keep adding more fees. This is a hoax. Yesterday, I spent 2.5 hours at US Bank in Spring Hill, TN in efforts to try to pay off the credit card and close it. I offered them $3,000 cash and all I got was an offer to take a hardship application which would have cost me an additional $59 for 12 months. I didn't need more charges. I want to pay them off and be done with them forever.

    I left the bank in tears with no resolve. There must be one person at US Bank, a nationwide bank, who can help resolve this ongoing issue, which is not my fault. No bank should treat a customer in this poor manner. This is nothing more than a fraudulent way to get more money by lying to a customer. I was lied to in the beginning and no help since. Needless to say, US Bank has ruined my credit score and I am not a happy camper! I am elderly and feel like my rights have been violated and that US Bank has deliberately taken advantage of me all over a mere $4,000 limit credit card. I have had credit cards for 50+ years and never ever been treated this way. Nobody seems to care, nobody helps me resolve this issue, and my account balance continues to rise every day.

    Please help me resolve this ongoing issue as I have asked for someone in a higher authority to help me and to date, still there's no resolve to this issue. I cannot afford an attorney as I live on a fixed income. This is the worse I have ever been treated by any bank in my entire lifetime. Thank you for your time and effort and any help you deem necessary that will help me resolve this ongoing issue permanently.

    Our firm assists borrowers who cannot keep their properties due to honest financial difficulties due to medical reasons, loss of employment, underemployment and military deployment/relocation orders with the short sale process. We have assisted hundreds of borrowers with this process and have negotiated with most lenders. In a perfect world, all lenders would be equal in the commitment to serve their customers including those in need. Government created programs (HAP, HAMP, etc.) have helped streamline the process and create parameters with which to qualify those in real need. US Bank is the bottom of the barrel when it comes to customer service, responsiveness, service in a timely and efficient manner and effectiveness.

    A short sale process that began in November of 2012 is still in review after being declined for lack of documentation twice during the review process. Problem is, no one is communicating to the poor borrower on exactly what documents are needed! There is no contact, no communication, no follow-up. I have copious notes documenting the process since November of 2012 and was told as recently as today that the file is in process. I have called repeatedly to our designated rep and have yet to have the courtesy of a return call. I have called the escalation line and am told there is no reason to escalate this file.

    The borrower has supplied every known requested document in a timely manner and is very anxious to have a decision. All parties understand that the final decision could be no, but how do we get the file before the underwriters for a decision? This is unconscionable that this bank could be so poorly run! I have complained to the Better Business Bureau. Something must be done to discipline this institution!

I had no activity on the account except for money going to the reserve line of credit for payments on supposed overdrafts. How can one have overdraft when you have money sitting in the bank? No one at any number I have called can help. One person even told me that I owed $600 as soon as I opened my bank account. How can you be $600 in the hole to accompany you've never done business with before?

    So we started checking into our account and realize that they were charging us exorbitant fees for free checking? Again, no one can answer my questions as to where my money went and why I have around $1,500 in fees for a free checking account, $600 of which we accrued by just opening an account there. I am not paying them a penny more. I heard this was a major issue at US Bank, so I figure I am one of the hundreds that got really screwed over. They took all my measly savings and want more.

    We banked with US Bank for about 28 years. We had checking accounts, saving accounts, an IRA and a credit card. We loved US Bank because when we opened our account, it was a small local bank in Portland, Oregon. We were extremely satisfied with our banking experience. Everyone was always very nice and helpful and issues could be resolved at the local level. Then the trouble came in the form of being bought out by a corporate giant based out of Minneapolis.

    We had a free checking account for life. That was the first problem in that they kept trying to change it to one where we had to pay. We would call and explain that we had free checking and they would fix our account. Then it would happen again and again. Finally, we got through and they left our account alone, but it took a lot of persistence on our part. After that it wasn't any one issue that lead to our unhappiness. It's just that it wasn't the same and the feeling that the bank had been absorbed into this corporate bean-counting prevailed.

    The straw that broke the camel's back came about a year ago when we applied for an auto loan. We applied and heard nothing. We applied for an auto loan on Ford credit and were approved within 5 minutes! My husband kept calling US Bank and could never get an answer. He contacted the local branch. They promised to look into it and nothing happened. Finally he spoke to the branch manager and after a couple of days, they finally told us our loan had been denied. We were astounded. Our credit score was over 700, but they denied our loan! We immediately went to one of our local credit unions and opened new accounts.

    When we closed our US Bank accounts, we kept the credit card because we wanted to retain the credit history. I went online to check on a charge on my credit card and noticed that they are proclaiming they are the number one rated bank in the country. That's not surprising since I've heard complaints about all of the big banks from friends. I think they are only number one because the others are worse.

    I have had an auto loan with US Bank since 2009 and paid every payment on time. US Bank has granted me an interest rate of over 18%. I have not raised any issues with this until now. I recently applied for an interest rate reduction through the SCRA and was denied because my debt was incurred during and not prior to my service. I would be okay with this if it was equal across the board but it's not. I've been told from other service members that they had been approved and in fact other financial institutions grant the reduction regardless of when the debt was incurred. I have already paid the amount that was taken out for the loan so where is the risk? How could it possibly harm US Bank to grant this reduction? It would not; I feel wronged and feel that this opportunity is not equally shared with members of the same status. I will not use US Bank for any other services if not for this, then for the customer service. I advised US Bank not to thank me for my service. These are only words.

When it happened a second time, I was advised to report as fraud and close my account. I did as advised as I did not want this to happen to my account again. The fraud team denied my claim, stating I benefited from the transaction (which I did not). It took over a week of the local bank to do their own investigation, which they didn't investigate anything because the branch manager said I gave this company my information. Again, I did not give my information.

    I do not know who the companies are. The local bank advised me that it is the same company. I explained that it looked the same, but the check process that came through had different information. All the representative could say is that is what her branch manager, Lori **, told her. So the decision-maker shakes hands with the companies and welcomes the fraud at her bank.

They told me the $25 fee charged on Feb. 5 was an "over-limit fee" they had the right to charge because my account had been over the limit on Feb. 4.

    When I questioned why I was charged $15 and then $25 for the same overdraft, I was told they were separate charges and for me to read the bank's policies. The worst part is the customer service rep was downright rude. I asked for a supervisor and was placed on hold for over 15 minutes.

    US Bank issued me a check for annual escrow account disclosure statement. The amount of the check was $757.34 dated 3/26/12. I was unaware of the check as it was lost under my desk. That was totally my fault. The check was discovered in January of 2013 when furniture was moved. I took the check to the Bellevue Publix branch of US Bank and explained what had happened. The teller was most helpful making a copy of the check and explaining that she would give it to the main Bellevue US Bank on Monday. I gave her my contact information and asked her to notify me when it was reissued (which is what she said would need to happen).

    She followed through and in about a week called me to say that my escrow information had changed and the bank told her they would only be able to issue me a check for about $270.00 because my property taxes had since gone up. She asked if I would like to just wait until March 2013 when annual reviews are done on escrow accounts and then see the results. I was unhappy at this but told her to have the bank go ahead and send me the partial amount of the check they had sent me. She agreed to do this. My first mistake was not writing down her name to follow up with her. She did give me the 800 number to call in the event there were any issues.

    Approximately two weeks later when no check came, I called the 800 mortgage customer service number. I spoke with an individual who stated her name is Amanda. She said there was an open case (although that's not the correct terminology she used) and no check had been issued and there was nothing more she could do. I told her I wanted to speak with someone else. She transferred me to escrow (and gave me the # 1-270-689-8678) and I spoke with an individual named Megan. Megan hem hawed around the situation, which by now I had checked on my property taxes and had confirmation that US bank was lying about the amount of increase in my property taxes. I told her I wanted a check for the whole amount of $757.34 and wanted to talk with her supervisor. She put me on hold and came back after a few minutes and told me they would reissue the check for the original amount and I'd have it the next week.

    When it didn't come this week, I called back to speak with Megan and she stated for some reason they couldn't find where the check was sent. I told her I wanted to speak with her supervisor, that I was going to take this issue further up the food chain. Emily came on the phone, acted put out and assured me they would overnight a check on Friday. I asked if they would be sending it for UPS or FedEx Saturday delivery. They professed to have no idea whether UPS or FedEx could even deliver on Saturday. I assured them that with me living in a major city, that option was available to US Bank. They acted like I was an idiot and explained they did not take a check to a UPS or FedEx facility but that the vendor picked up from them. I guess they thought I was stupid.

    Of course, I realized the carrier would pick up from them. But I also know they can send it for Saturday delivery, which I realize is more expensive for the bank. But after the way I have been treated, I felt it was within reason. I got nowhere with them on that. I had already explained to them that I would be taking my business on about 15 years elsewhere if this wasn't resolved expediently.

I talked with 6 associates and each one of them told me something different, not to mention, one of them said they would apply $50 credit towards my account which was verified through another co-worker. I come to find out, I went to pay the last bit of it off (over $4k) and checked the status on it, and it was saying that I still owed $50. I come to find out that jerk never applied it. I talked with the manager and he did absolutely nothing but gave me an email address to send my complaints to. We all know how those go (file 13). The point is, you have notes in a computer for a reason; it has been verified by others what the bank is going to do. I couldn't care less about the 50 bucks, but no communication between each other was very, very poor. Of the 5 years I've had the loan, I've never complained up until now.

At that time, they can fax it to the branch, and I can pick it up. The bank is closed when I go to work and when I get off. They will not let my husband pick it up because he doesn't have POA. I requested to speak to a manager; there was none. I requested a call back before 8:30am on Monday, and they cannot do that. It seems that the US Bank can't do anything. My son is in Afghanistan and wanted a copy of it being paid in full. I guess that's not going to happen. I have never paid a loan off without receiving something showing paid in full.

    Why is US Bank setting up a call center to call people who have home equity lines of credit and the first question they ask is, "What's your social?" i.e. “What is your social security number?” I hung up. This is the most unprofessional call I have ever received from a bank. I am totally appalled. I consider this harassment by someone who I thought would want to keep my business.

    On the 5th of October 2012, the US Bank claimed that my doctor submitted a bill to the bank, and I did not have the funds in my account! So, US Bank charged my account $35.00 on the 7th of October. I made my deposit into the account unaware of any of this. On the 10th, I had my doctor appointment which I then paid upon arrival. Later that day, I checked my account only to find all the money was gone. My doctor’s appointment was for $125.00. I had deposited approximately $350.00 on the 7th and the 8th. US Bank took it all and told me it was for fees, because they had paid the doctor on the 5th. My doctor’s office said they did not get paid or requested any money other than on the 10th, when I had my visit.

    Now, US Bank claims I still owe another $500 for fees and placed me in check systems and collections until I pay it. When I asked them what and why I owe them any money, they said it is for fees that accumulated weekly and monthly. Ever since I opened my account with them, for every deposit I made, they, US Bank, would take at least 20% and would tell me they are fees. When I first opened the account, I deposited $4,200.00. They took $750.00 and when I asked why, they said, "You inquired about the funds 4 days later which results in a fee of $35.00, plus $35.00 for overdraft. And because you did not pay it (even though I had $4,000.00 in my account LOL), you owed another fee of $70.00. That is added weekly until you pay the fees.”

    Well, at that point, I should have taken my money out and closed that account; but if I did, they would have charged me the balance in my account for closing fees. So now, I just got a call from collection telling me if I give US Bank $360.00, they will take me out of check systems. With all these facts, whoever is reading this, please tell me if something isn’t wrong here. Looks like a duck. Extortion, at least by definition, to me.

I told them about how I paid them and they don't trust me and commented how I had been late before.

    This is literally the worst company I have ever dealt with and I have Time Warner Cable. I have been trying to do a refinance. It is 5 months later and we still have not closed. They have scheduled a closing date 3 different times and rescheduled it twice, and outright cancelled it the 3rd time - every time giving me a different excuse. My original loan officer was fired and my file was not transferred to anyone else. One month and dozens of phone calls and emails later, I finally got a hold of her boss who is just as useless and apathetic as my original loan officer. He gave me a half ** apology, told me he is going to fix things and then ignored my phone calls for three weeks. I called him every day and left voicemails.

    He finally called me back when I sent an email to him and three branch managers I dealt with after I was bounced around when my loan officer was fired. He had no new information for me and couldn't even remember what we talked about the first time that he was supposed to follow up on. I could write a novel about the terrible experiences I have had with this company over the past 5 months. I also don't think it is limited to just my city. I tried calling a loan officer in another city to get away from the manager and that loan officer was a complete jerk from his hello. So it seems the terribleness of this company is far and wide.

    It baffles me that the level of customer service with this department is so poor that even when I expressed to him that I am beyond the point of frustrated and if I didn't hear back from him by the end of the day one day, I would cancel my loan and yet he would still fail to make any attempt to contact me. I have never in my life received such a poor level of support from any company with which I have ever dealt. I have been ignored, disrespected and lied to from the very beginning of this process. I would have cancelled this process months ago had my original rep not lied to me in the beginning, telling me that an FHA streamline can only be done through my current mortgage holder. Silly me for taking her at her word. I have given them well more than their fair share of opportunities to make this right and they have shown me at every turn that my patronage is not worth the time of day.

    The extreme delays in this process have now cost me over $1,000 in overpayments and fees paid. I believe their goal has been to force me to continue to pay my payments at my old rate by withholding the ability to better my situation. I have already filed a complaint with FHA. I am also following up on complaints with the Better Business Bureau, the Ohio Attorney General's office and any other means I can take. I attempted to file a complaint with US Bank corporate, but the company is so terrible for the ground up that the only means that provide for complaint submission is through fax.

    Mid-January, I decided to attempt to get another secured card. I already have one with Capital One and I am very happy, so I am not sure why I thought getting another card with another bank would be a good idea. Initially, I was sent to the generic "Sorry, we can't approve you at this time" page. I never did receive any type of communication, by email or mail, about my not approved application. Apparently, for those unaware, this means something entirely different than any other bank. On February 1st, almost 3 weeks after my application, they decided they want to further review my application, and after absolutely no communication not even an email after my initial application, they took out my $300 deposit, overdrafting the account as it is my personal account for grocery money. And after being initially denied, I used that money to up my Capital One line of credit.

    After many phone calls, I have been told it isn't their practice to communicate with applicants and that I am still not approved! They have my $300, are still reviewing my application and will not have a final decision for 3-5 days. Same answer I have had for 6 days now, by the way. One representative told me I shouldn't have blown the money in my checking account and had it waiting for their disposal. For how long is that supposed to be?! Once they decide, they will either assign me an account number or send my money back to my bank, both of which will take 2-3 weeks after they are finally done twiddling their thumbs and decide to either deny me yet again or approve me which in itself is frightful, as their "not approved" is obviously "we can't make up our mind" so this could happen all over again. My grocery money for a family of 5 is now in limbo and at the mercy of them, and 3 weeks after sending my application in, they still can't make up their minds. This bank is a nightmare. Typically, banks wait to screw you over once you're an established customer. Not this one, it starts off a nightmare.

They would wait 2 weeks between needing something else and contacting me. I submitted over 2 pounds of paperwork. After my lock-in rate expired and they started over asking me for the same paperwork again, I just couldn't deal with them anymore and paid off the loan - which took me 2 hours and 2 trips to my local US Bank to give them the money.

    The worst part of the whole thing was they sent my 2 pounds of paperwork back via UPS to the vacant apartment address without a signature required, so it was left on the doorstep. They had always corresponded with me from my work address in the months before. The paperwork got snowed on, run over, broken open and blown, I guess to the parking lot. After 2 weeks, I was there showing the apartment and found my paperwork - with SS number, bank accounts, etc. all over the parking lot and against the fence of the complex. It wasn't all there. No telling who has it now. It should be their policy to require a signature on such private and sensitive information. I am not happy.

    2012 Volvo's, $1800 90-day incentive was offered with the condition the auto is financed at a hideous interest rate through US Bank. After several attempts to participate with my own financier, I was told the only way to participate was via US Bank. I was assured by both the dealership and US Bank this loan could be refinanced once the 3-month $1800 incentive program had been satisfied. When I received the first statement showing a lump sum principal payment of $1800, I called US Bank to see if I had to wait the 4 months to refinance the loan.

    US Bank recommended since there would be no interest and no payoff penalties, it would behoove me to refinance in January receiving the full benefit of the incentive. Please take note I was preapproved at a 2.5% rate at the time of purchase with my credit union of 18 years. However, as stated, in order to participate with the incentive, it was mandatory to finance with US Bank. I watched each US Bank statement arrive with a zero balance/zero interest/zero due non-invoice status for 3 months and paid the $39.48 shown on the Dec. 12 statement. Upon this statement, I instituted the refinance immediately only to find the payoff was $404.16 more than the principal balance.

    When I called to explain I had a detailed conversation with a US Bank representative regarding no interest/no penalty loan payoff, I was appalled at the response which included, "You shouldn't have believed the US Bank representative," along with "Even though you received loan statements with zero due, you should have known you'd be charged interest." And finally, the comment of "if your credit is so good, why did you sign the US Bank loan at double the rate?" These comments were made by Austin **. Additionally, I sent a $1500 principal payment to lower the total loan amount for refinance which took 11 days and 3 calls for US Bank to post, delaying the refinance process.

    US Bank has given inaccurate, inconsistent and disrespectful advice on what I perceive as a predatory loan. US Bank has sent statements without charges for 3 months, all the while adding a per diem to the balance without notification or consumer line of site to these charges. US Bank charged a payoff interest of $404.16 upon closing the loan. Clearly, US Bank does not hire or train representatives to provide accurate information, much less world class customer service.

    I could go on and on, but after reading previous posters’ red tape fiasco with US Bank's Loss Draft department, they pretty much sum it up. Pray you never have any sort of insurance claim while they service your mortgage. We had a hot water line leak in the plumbing in the wall behind the kitchen sink on December 4th. After turning off the water, vacuuming up the water and drying it out beneath the cabinets, we waited 24 hours for an adjuster to contact us. Then, we waited two additional days for her to come out and inspect the property. (We have three children between ages 2-17.) We then waited seven additional days to get a copy of the adjuster's estimate and then another five days for the insurance check.

    Bear in mind, we are still without hot water; turning it on as needed to bathe and wash dishes, vacuuming up water, and drying it out after each use. The timeframe for insurance settlement was relatively reasonable. We contacted US Bank to get the paperwork to prevent any delays in repair when we knew the insurance check was on its way. Because we hadn't received the paperwork, we called US Bank on December 24th. They had no record of our call or request for paperwork. I asked to escalate the claim and speak to a supervisor. After lots of negotiation and practically threatening the call center rep, I was finally transferred to the voicemail of a supervisor. Of course, the next day was a holiday and they advised that it would be 24 hours to hear back from him.

    After not hearing back, I contacted them again on December 28th. I kept getting rude, disassociated representatives who lacked sensitivity or the desire to resolve the issue or find someone who could. If they only knew what a homeowner had already experienced prior to getting to this point in the process. I was them blindly transferred to yet another voicemail and told about the 24 hours again. Finally, on January 31st, we got a call from the supervisor. After speaking with him, we all agreed on what documentation was needed. We agreed to fax it in immediately to him in addition to sending it overnight the same day. He told us he'd call us back as soon as he received it the same day. We never got the call.

    Realizing that it was a holiday, we knew that they may be a bit behind, so we waited until January 3 to call in to follow up as we received confirmation that our original documents were delivered. Just our luck! The supervisor is on vacation until January 14, and not only do the representatives we speak to refuse to transfer us to another supervisor on duty, they treat us with contempt and as if we are attempting to defraud them. My understanding is that the lienholder is listed on the check to protect their interests in the property. That's understandable. But the lengths that they make you go to begin the repair process and have funding to do so is incredible. They send an inspector of their own that you pay $25 for. That should be sufficient to release the first draw in addition to some affidavits. Nope.

    It's just absurd. So here we are, over a month with a water loss. I'm praying there is no mold and mildew behind my kitchen cabinets when we finally are able to access the leaking pipe. One can only hope. We do live in Florida after all.

I finally told my wife to contact the local VA office since we bought our house with a VA loan guarantee. Within one hour of talking to the VA rep (who was great), US Bank called us apologizing, etc. Within a few days, we were told that the modification was approved, our rate was lowered, and we were now current.

In November 2012, my card expired and I did not get a new one. I use it rarely (though I carry a high balance, I use this card for travel) so I did not notice until December.

    I called to get a new card and was told the account was closed and I will have to reapply to have it reopened. I was never notified it would be closed or was at risk of closing. Again, all payments are current and never received notification online or in the mail that this was happening. They claim the returned statement triggered the closure. So now they are losing a high interest paying account. I will pay off in the next few months because of their broken system. I would easily qualify for the same line of credit, but I refuse to do business with an organization that is clearly incompetent and will likely use the closure to leverage worse terms on my account than I currently have/had.

    One-star rating is too good for this mortgage lender - My husband built our home and we moved in Nov 2005. It took us almost 8 months. We hired some subcontractors but for the most part, we did the work ourselves allowing us to save on labor and were able to put in better grade hardware, fixtures, flooring, etc. On Dec 3, 2012, we had water damage from a defective water supply line for a toilet - 1500 gallons of water spilled out into our home. We contacted our State Farm agent and were able to get ServPro to our house a couple of hours later. By 1am, we had 22 air circulators going and 4 dehumidifiers running in various areas of the house. Water ran down the heat register vent into the heat pump and backed up spilling out of return air vent downstairs. The basement had 2 inches of water and the drain was doing its best to pull water out. It was about 37 degrees that night and no heat, due to the heat pump being "fried". We were going to need to get that repaired ASAP.

    We contacted an HVAC company that was well-respected in our community and received a replacement estimate. In the meantime, it took one complete week to dry out the house. What a mess! The State Farm Insurance Adjustor came out that Friday and assessed the structural damages and even hand delivered a check in the amount of $7400.00 for full replacement of the heat pump and all duct work. The check was made out to us and US bank. I called them to find out the proper procedure. I gave details of the incident and was then asked for the claim amount. I told her that I did not have one and that State Farm was not completed with his "estimate" on our house. I was given a tracking number, telephone number and fax number for the US Bank Loss Draft Dept. She instructed me to mail it to their office in Springfield, OH and if I wanted the check back via overnight, I needed to include a check for $9. I sent it by Express Mail - USPS.

    I finally received a call today and they were missing several pages of the 21-page Structural damage report from State Farm. The HVAC was written separately and was not included in the "estimate". I sent another check for the structural damages in the amount of $13,397.03. I called US Bank Loss Draft dept this afternoon to follow up on the HVAC payment. The rep informed me that they did not receive all of the 21 pages and the $7400.00 was on hold for endorsement. I tried to explain that it was paid off of the actual invoice of the HVAC company and not an advance payment. After threatening to video and place on YouTube my 2-year-old waking up in the middle of the night crying that she was cold, they retreated and said that they would endorse this evening and mail out overnight. I mailed an extra $9 in per their request for overnight delivery. This was an essential living requirement, especially since starting Thursday the temps will get down to 22 degrees.

    Thank goodness the HVAC owner had a heart and started on replacing the ductwork and was willing to wait for the check to clear our bank even after he completed his work, all so we didn't have any further issues and my children were warm. Also, I got to thinking about the other check we had sent them that they will receive on Wednesday, Dec 19, 2012. I wanted to make sure there was not going to be a hold up and boy was I wrong. The 3rd call to this department led me to another rep and she informed me that there were forms that were required for them to have prior to them endorsing the check. Again, another surprise procedure and/or required item to have completed before you get any money from State Farm. I have a $2000.00 deductible that I paid to ServPro and the Christmas holiday right around the corner, I cannot advance any funds while waiting on them to send this check. Actually there are none.

    My 7-year-old house needs all new flooring in the house except for my room and the room directly across the hall. The US Bank rep said that there were numerous forms for the subcontractors to fill out. If my husband wanted to do work on the house, there was another set of forms for the private homeowner to fill out. The contractor forms could have been mostly completed if I had known about this upfront. Now 2 weeks later, we are still not closer to getting my house put back together than before this all happened. Should my husband want to pull the toilet up to allow the flooring people to do their job and reset toilet after they are completed, he will need to fill out the previous mentioned set of forms, and also include a previous employer recommendation letter on their letterhead documenting his contracting skills and number of years experience. Once you submit that, as long as you have not been late on your payment within the last 12 months, they will consider his request. They may approve him or reject his application.

    This takes about 5 business days. However, all of that can be avoided if you have the plumber fill out the contractors set of forms, and pay him $95.00 an hour to come and pull a toilet up off the floor and then have him come back and reset the toilet again once the flooring people are done and pay him another $95.00 an hour plus materials. As homeowners, are we required to have qualifications or a plumber's license to repair a leaky faucet or be a licensed electrician to replace a ceiling fan in your house? What concerns me the most about this requested documentation is that when we refinanced our loan for a lower interest rate and moved it from Bank of America to US Bank, not one single underwriter asked for this information. Would you not think that it would have been more appropriate to get the "contractor's name" before securing a loan for $117,000.00? Maybe the fact that during this process, the appraisal value came back at $195,000.00 and they saw dollar signs at the amount of equity that this home had. I think that would have more foundation to it versus a check for $13,397.03.

    If I wanted to uproot our family of 5, I would be better off placing a "For Sale By Owner" sign in the front yard, sell the house for $170,000.00 and pay off my mortgage of around $109,000.00, walking away with $61,000.00. Apparently that is not their way of thinking, they are wanting to prevent you from taking the $13,397.03, not do the repairs and walk away from the mortgage. On the 4th call to them today (my calls to US Bank were from 1pm through 4pm), I was routed to a Senior Account Resolution Specialist, a 3-year employee, who told me that my check was being held because it needed "special approval" due to it being over the claim limit threshold of $10,000.00. Ok, let me apologize to you US Bank, that my house had 1500 gallons of clean water dispensed into it and caused $15,669.07 worth of structural damage. I was up to 3am on December 4th, crying as I was watching ServPro pull baseboards off walls that I spent days on priming front and back, painting with oil base front and back twice and then going behind my husband filling in the finishing nail holes.

    Watching them scrape up in chips and pieces my special order Durastone tile in my kitchen, one of the two rooms that I wanted built a certain way and that was that. I painted every wall in this house, every piece of trim and I even carried block to my husband while he laid the walls for the basement up into wee hours of the night. So when you have sweat at the brow building the American Dream and it can be taken away in no time by a disaster, it hits you right smack in the gut. I thought that day was the worst. No, not even close. The three hours of my afternoon, talking with 4 different US Bank loss draft reps topped that day and then some. I was reduced to a complete blubbering mess by 3:40pm. I knew I did not have the time to get all the required forms filled out and sent to them, get the check (that our bank would place a hold on for 5 days) and flooring down so my kids would not have to sit on plywood sub-flooring and unwrap their Christmas presents. We have been walking around with shoes on to keep from getting staples or splinters in our feet.

    Try standing on the hard sub-floor while cooking dinner each night. My back and shoulder blades ache every night. My 4-year-old thinks that Santa is mad or doesn't like our house because the Christmas tree had to be moved into a corner while ServPro removed flooring and dried the sub-floor. It is not in front of the door where Santa can see the lights. It's extremely hard to remember the reason for the season but we are trying while my throat has gotten scratchy and my sinuses are clogged from all the crying. US Bank will still continue to hold this check to protect their investment, money, which actually belongs to State Farm not US Bank. It almost makes you think twice about filing a claim. What could I have done with that $2000.00 deductible that I sent ServPro? My husband and I worked hard on building our home. We worked a lot of hours at our jobs. We do so because we want to have our house paid off. US Bank drafts on the first day of each month, the mortgage payment. It is never late and never has been since the first payment we made to Farmer's Bank and Capital Trust, Frankfort, KY.

    My husband will be going to get a loan from our bank for materials and labor on Wednesday so we may be able to have a floor in our living room on Christmas Day. This will allow me time to contact subcontractors, take off work, meet them at the house to get an estimate and wait for them to get all the forms US Bank wants in their hands before that check is released. This could have been started 10 days ago if I was informed the day I called in to report my insurance claim. Of course, I would not have mailed the check in for the structural damages until this was completed. Apparently, according to the research I have done on US Bank today, this department is well known and has mastered the vicious circus of red tape/excuses/reasons of why they are not endorsing the insurance check. I even read that they are going to charge me $25.00 per inspection, which they plan on taking out of this money.

    There is not a limit on the number of inspections that they make you pay for. They did not do an inspection when we secured the mortgage. We passed every inspection the first time, when we built our house. I plan on contacting an attorney to seek legal advice in how to properly handle this situation. It almost makes you start making a nest egg to prevent having to file a claim with your insurance company, so you don't have your mortgage company dictate how you repair your home.

    The Worst Mortgage Servicer - I can't stand US Bank! It takes forever to maneuver through their automated phone system. Their website asks for several security questions just to make your payment. They charge you fees for everything, even paying online. They take the taxes out of your escrow a month ahead of time but do not send the payment until it is due. When you pay off your loan, they take out an extra payment of mortgage insurance.

    My daughter-in-law applied for a secret shopper job which turned out to be a scam. When she realized what it was, she had already deposited the check in her account at US Bank. But she did not wire the money to Mr. Shopper like she was asked to do. Instead, she called the bank and explained she thought the check was fraudulent. They told her not to worry they wouldn't let it go through. Then Friday, when my son's payroll check was deposited, which was for twice that amount, they closed his account because she was a signer on his account and they will not let him have any of his money. They have two teenagers to feed and clothe and it's Christmas time. He called them today and they said he would get his cashier's check maybe early next week. That is totally unfair. Merry Christmas, US Bank. You'll never get my business. You're making interest on a family's suffering. You hold money that's not yours for two weeks and make a family suffer.

    First off, my grandmother co-signed a rather large loan for, also a credit card. I am the one who made all the charges and used the loan. Yes, I signed the papers for the loan and credit cards. I never received a monthly statement. So months went by, and my 85-year-old grandmother tells me the bank is harassing her because they are not getting paid. So, I tried to talk to the bank. And keep in mind that my address, not my grandmother's, was never provided for billing purposes, only credit purposes. They will not talk to me, because the loan officer or someone at US Bank screwed up and left me off the account. How they put my name on the credit card and will not talk to me because I am not on the account gets me.

    Secondly, I was employed by US Bank for a short period of time, and of course, they require their employees to start their direct deposit paychecks into their accounts. As soon as I quit working and no longer received a paycheck from the employer, they started charging me monthly fees for not having a certain balance, and behold, they reported me to a credit collection agency! Ridiculous!

    I redeemed by my FlexPoints on the credit card recently in exchange for a $50 Visa gift card. I tried to use the card they sent, and of course, in my grandmother's name. They jacked me because when I went to pay for my purchase, there was nothing on it! Freaking hilarious, so I tried to call the number on card. And yet again, they would not talk to me because US Bank screwed up and put my grandmother's name on the card. And when I ask for a manager or someone who can help me, the customer rep tells me, "There is no one that can help you.” OK. Sorry grandma. But the joke’s on US Bank.

Today I opened my online statement, just to check and make sure everything was okay on an account I use only once a month for a direct payment. I found that an old direct payment had come out of the account. I was a total of .69 cents overdrawn for about three weeks before I noticed. They charged me $75 in overdraft fees without sending me any notice whatsoever that I was overdrawn. I thought this is ridiculous, so I sent them a letter explaining what had happened and asking them to reduce the fees to just a single $25 fee for the overdraft - something they did the last time I had a problem about 15 years ago. They refused and sent me a link to their policy. $75.00 for a .69 mistake. Does that seem reasonable to anyone? We are US Bank. We don't have to care.

I did part of what I was told to do before the check came back as bad. My bank (U.S. Bank) then closed my account, reported me to ChexSystems and sent my account to collections all in one week.

    On May 10th, 2012, I had a drunk driver drive his car into my living room. This occurrence created $38K in damage. After working through an unpleasant experience with the Insurance Company, I proceeded to take the checks that had been written to U.S.Bank to cash and pay my contractor. At that point, they decided to tell me that they would inform that they monitor the funds and how much is dispersed. This all happened after I went to the Bank and asked for help to fight the insurance company to get enough money to even fix the place.

    Yes, the contractor took a 50% cut to even do the job. The bank said they had no interest and to let us know after we came to an agreement. Finally, I got the contractor started and I have to have an inspector from the bank come to inspect the progress of the repairs. This was new also at that point in time. I was told by the U.S.Bank that they would charge me $25 every time the inspector came to the house and that they would only allow certain dollar amounts released according to the work that had been completed. Take in mind that every time I have to call an 800 number to talk with someone and this started a whole entire process in and of itself.

    They mailed the checks to the wrong address. I was told on countless occasions one thing then the next time told the exact opposite. No one at the bank has ever been able to give me a straight answer. I asked why this process is in effect. The response I received was that it was government regulation that started early in 2012. I plan on filling out the complaint form that will be sent to me on Monday with the final check which I was told was actually mailed out on the 7th of November and today was informed when the check had not showed yet that it was human error. The solution they gave me is once the check is processed that they will mail it overnight at their expense. I asked to speak to a supervisor and was told that they will not speak to me. My suggestion to anyone that reads this is get your mortgage away from U.S.Bank. That is what I plan to do if I ever make it through this process.

We had work completed over a month ago and contacted US Bank so they could pay roofer after work was completed. They won't release final payment until CoreLogic, their inspection co., does 66 percent evaluation. We have called US Bank countless times as to when this will be done. CoreLogic is telling them they called and can't reach us, which is baloney since we have caller ID and I have been waiting for them to call. I don't work, so I have all day to answer phone calls. They (US Bank) keep putting us off.

But she told me I should wait until Friday to expect a call. I have a deck and outside work to be done yet, and it is 30 degrees here in Missouri. How do they expect me to get this done before winter with temps too cold to do this, and when do I tell the roofing co. that they can get payment? This is poor customer service at best.

On 25 May, we received the US Bank paperwork with instructions to obtain partial payment for the contractors we had working on our home. Meanwhile, we paid contractors out of pocket expecting that the process had already begun & knowing our insurance co. had covered the funds needed.

    On 26 Jun 12, we spoke with the resolution dept. (Christine & others) and were informed that paperwork from our contractor did not have a zip code, and additional documents were also needed, we were never notified. The documents/forms were to be emailed to us; after two separate requests for the paperwork to be emailed, we finally received it on 12 Jul - we had to pick up a FAX from our local branch (they were never e-mailed)! On 12 Jul 12, we spoke to Leah from the US Bank resolution dept. and we were informed we needed more paperwork - so we faxed all the additional info (lien releases, invoices, receipts and letter of qualification) on 12 Jul 12. We then had the US Bank's inspector inspect the work we had completed as required - the job was 98% complete per the inspector who submitted the paperwork 13 Jul 12.

Finally, on 23 Jul 12 we received the 1/3 originally promised.

    The remaining 2% of the job was completed 1 Oct 12 which we again had to pay for out of our own savings. We submitted all paperwork as required by US Bank (again) - it was faxed from a local branch on 12 Oct 12 and verified with the home office that they had everything they needed to cut the check. We were told that it would take three business days to receive our funds. We called US Bank today, 29 Oct 12 as the check had not arrived. What we found out was that no one in US Bank even took the time to review the info and send the check. Then we were told that it would take 3 business days to process and send the check - this was the same story we received the last time. In the meantime, our personal account has been drawn down for 6 months - US Bank's response time to honor customer needs is horrible. If we took that long to pay our mortgage to US Bank, we would have been foreclosed on! No one you talk in their corporate office seems to be able to complete the task.

I have been using the cash advance account they set up for me because I have direct deposit. I have a $500 limit and I use it to assist with random bills. One of these was to pay my mediator as I am in the middle of trying to get custody of my daughter. When I used the account, it says that I have until the 28th of the following month to make the payment of approximately $440 which does not reflect upon my checking until that point. Well, I decided that I would like to wait so I called and told the bank that I would like to postpone the payment of this until the next check on the 8th. They said that they cannot do that as their system automatically pulls the money and the only thing that I could do is to cancel the direct deposit. I can bring the check in, cash it and the advance account balance will remain where it is until my next direct deposit.

    So I have my work cancel the direct deposit which cost me $25. So when I checked my account the next morning, it shows that US Bank has now moved the amount due on the advance account to the checking and I am now -$492 in my account. When I called them, they told me to use my cash advance to bring myself even, which will cost me $50, because there is nothing that they can do for me. I asked to speak with the manager and was told that he was on vacation. I was told that he could call me back on Monday as the resolution specialist was laughing. So I sit here with -$492 in my checking because US Bank told me to cancel my direct deposit. They refused to just put the amount from the advance back where it was and leave the due date as the 28th.

    My husband lost his job and without knowing how long he would be unemployed, we thought we should contact US Bank about our mortgage payments. We were offered the option of "skipping" a payment and repaying it over the course of the next 4 by adding an additional amount to each regular monthly payment. Hindsight is 20/20; we should have never done this. Our credit rating is now damaged, as US Bank labeled this a 4 months of "late" payments. We were penalized for doing the right thing and contacting them to make arrangements rather than missing an entire payment.

    Be forewarned; there is fine print and even when read carefully, it does not indicate the dire consequences this can have to your personal credit rating. This will be on our record for 4-5 years and we cannot refinance at the several other banks we have tried, all due to this one month's payment that has been paid in full to US Bank's specific specifications. Even US Bank will not refinance our mortgage to a lower interest rate due to our credit score that they themselves damaged and are fully aware of the reason why.

    In hindsight, we wish we would have begged or borrowed money from anywhere to make that payment on time and never agreed to the terms they were so eager to offer us. We have our checking and savings at our local bank and the loan officer there stated it was very unfortunate situation. Our debt to income ratio is fine and we have no other credit issues, yet we cannot refinance or get approved for a new mortgage - thanks to US Bank. Steer clear folks!

    Website and phone customer service - I was jumping through hoop after hoop, question after question and confirmation after confirmation just to make a payment on the website, and just to get a total generic and obtuse error statement. I sit on the phone for hours to be told "pay online after statement is mailed". How the hell do I know when that is?! I receive the statement on my due date! Assume it's safe to make an online payment.

    Again, I jump through all the online hoops and enter, confirm, answer and repeat, repeat, repeat. Then I get an error: "Can't locate statement." I call customer non-service again, then wait, wait, and wait for an eternity to be told, "Oh you can't make your first payment online. You have to mail the first payment." There was no indication anywhere on the statement; the stupid welcome letter; the first operator I spoke with, or on the website. I hate these people!

    I have a durable power of attorney for my mom and had been paying her bills via her bank account for several months before she passed of cancer. Once all outstanding payments had been deducted, I tried to close the account but they refused saying there was no POD (payable on death) on the account and that they had no record of the POA either. After several weeks of searching, I finally found the POA, as well as her will naming me the executor of her estate. I went back presenting both and they again refused to pay out the balance directing me instead to go through probate. Her bank account holds less than $400. Probate (administration) will cost $346 plus additional fees, almost the entire amount in the account to begin with.

    Poor Treatment/Elder Abuse - I am on the account with (and durable POW for) my 85-year old mother, a retired teacher. Because she has had several fraudulent charges to her account (via known scams) over the past 2-3 years (and has changed it at least once), I reviewed her account periodically via internet banking. On 9/18/12, I discovered a suspicious electronic withdrawal (electronic unsigned check) by Shopping Depot for $193.95 and verified with my mother that it was unauthorized. (The associated phone # suggested a cell phone in India.)

    I contacted U.S. Bank's fraud office, who instructed that I should close the account and my mother should go to the branch in person to open a new account. On 9/19/12, her granddaughter took her to the branch. Staff there refused to allow another account, citing the three fraudulent charges over the last few years. Instead, they closed out her checking account by issuing a cashier’s check. Bank staff falsely accused my mother of giving out her account information over the phone.

    For background, my mother has banked at the same location since the 1940s. U.S. Bank is the most recent corporation to acquire this location. She does not purchase over the phone or internet, and handles daily expenses by handwriting checks or obtaining cash directly from the cashier's window at the bank. The only exceptions of which I am aware are autopay authorizations for her phone and water bills (which I set up myself). It is unconscionable that bank staff would treat her this way after more than 60 years of patronage, and I consider this to be elder abuse. Given this treatment, we are happy to bank elsewhere and suggest that others do the same.

    I own my own business (Mary Kay). Last week, I had individuals named Carol ** & Howard **, if these are their true names. She (Carol) had texted me on my cell & said that she wanted to order some product for her daughter's 21st birthday. She told me she was blind & was computer-friendly. She asked for the total amount & it was $242.71. She said that her financial advisor was writing the check & I should receive it in a few days. Well, it was over the Labor Day weekend so of course it took longer. She texted me a couple of days before & told me that her financial advisor made a mistake on the check. She was sending money to her daughter also for her birthday & me for her product.

    Anyway, to make a long story short, I received the check via FedEx. It had a legit company address, etc. on the package. Anyway, this so-called Carol ** wanted me to send the money back to her via Western Union, so of course I did, like any trusting person would. Anyway, I immediately notified the bank & Western Union & the police department here & the county where she picked up the money. My bank & Western Union did not help me! I understand that it was my fault for trusting people but now, I have all the bank fees which is totally outrageous. Since they put a hold on my account, all my automatic withdrawals made my account in the minus which is still not right since I did notify them both. How is a small business owner supposed to get a break, especially since I have been a valuable customer for many years?

    All I wanted was for them to put all those fees back into the account especially since it was also US Bank's fault for cashing the check & knowing that they should have put a hold on the check before cashing it. How is a small consumer to get a break? This is totally outrageous. The fees were way over $100. I guess that's what I get for being honest & trusting & letting the companies know that I was scammed!

Since the annual fee was charged in April, I have made payments of $155 over the minimum payment. My understanding is that the law requires that anything over the minimum payment must be applied to the balance with the higher rate (the $39).

    US Bank Mortgage division recently decided to eliminate local title companies from providing title insurance on their mortgage transactions. This is appalling because each individual should be able to choose their title company! Title is part of the closing process and the company that your mortgage form outstanding judgements. They are shutting the door on small and medium sized title companies throughout the nation, and not caring about who may have lost their jobs in the process in your local communities.

    This country was founded on free market competition. It is simply not fair to take business away from your local title companies where real people work and depend on business from US Bank for a living! US Bank claims they will only use large national title companies because of cost savings. However, this is not true. US Bank is discriminating on locally owned businesses, but at the same time they want small businesses to bank with them! This is like the national government saying people can only shop at large national grocers such as Costco, Walmart and Sam's Club and not allowing people to shop at their local grocery stores in order to save money.

    I work for a local title company that I love and have worked hard over the years to secure local business relationships with US Bank loan officers to gain their business. But now, all the years of work had gone down the tubes, and many people that are in the title industry throughout America are without jobs because of this US Bank executive decision! When the local title companies contacted US Bank to voice their concerns, we were told that is an executive decision and it will not be changed. Please let the Executive President of US Bank know what a flawed and unethical business practice it is by eliminating local business vendors! The Executive Chief Officer is Richard K. Davis and he should address this issue.

    US Bank is the worst ever. I have deposited my wife's school refund check three separate times into this account and they allowed the transaction. The last time I deposited the check the bank released the funds as normal (not pending). I paid my bills and suddenly the money was taken out of the account. I went to US Bank to see what the problem was and they told me that they did not accept two party checks. They had accepted them three other times. How was I to know? Instead of being kind and at least giving me a call, they did nothing. If I had not had online banking, I would never have known about this until seven days letter via mail. I did not receive the check until fifteen days after it was returned. Not only that, but it was a paper copy of the check so they left me no choice to go back to their bank.

    When going in with the paper check, I asked them to deposit it again. My wife was there with me (same address, same last name etc.) They said her name needed to be added to the account. So, we tried doing that only for them to deny allowance of my wife's name on the account because of transaction history. What? Now, we are stuck with a copy of the original check that we can do nothing with. I will be removing this account and going elsewhere. I could write a book on the screw ups this bank does.

I have a receipt that shows the available amount of my account includes the cashed check. Two hours later, I transferred via internet banking some of the money from checking to savings. Two days later, I got an email stating my checking is negative. The payroll check was returned for NSF. US Bank removed the funds from my account. They stated they did not have a few transactions processed against this account and should not have allowed the cashing of the check. They went back and modified all the records to support this assertion. How can that be legal? If I do not get a deposit posted in time, it gets marked for the next day.

    US Bank did not get some transactions posted so they should not be able to go back and date them before my posted transaction either. As of the time of my transaction, there was money to cash the check (no ifs and/or buts). How could I have made the transfer to savings if I did not have enough money? Multiple transactions support that there was sufficient cash in the account. They have modified financial records to support their claim. Should this not be illegal? They stated it was their fault, but will not give back the fees or original amount until my wife's boss pays the amount. This should not be our problem, but they are attempting to pass the burden onto my wife and me.

    I purchased a home through a US Bank loan in September of 2010. Evidence of sufficient property insurance was a requirement for entering escrow. However since November 2010, I have received over 30 letters from USB stating that either I do not carry property insurance or the coverage is insufficient. Despite countless phone calls made by my insurance company and myself to USB, with USB confirming I have sufficient coverage, I continue to receive these letters. USB has charged me $500 for property insurance I already have multiple times, then credits back the money after I call to notify them of the discrepancy. I have since tripled my insurance coverage since the "senior agent" I spoke with "thinks" that was the issue. Yet the day after USB received proof of my tripled coverage, I received another letter stating my coverage was not sufficient. The issue is not resolved after 1.5 years of what can only be described as harassment. I would highly recommend running the other direction if you're considering USB as a lender.

    This is my fiancé’s and my first mortgage experience. When our mortgage first was sold to US Bank, they never sent us a statement or any paperwork. They were late, late, late on sending it out. Then when the first of the month came up and we had no amount to pay or official paperwork, we got a phone call three days in a row from their collections people harassing us on when we were going to pay. They also had the audacity to ask, "Are you always going to be late in paying your mortgage?" I should have said, "None of your business!" Anyway, this past month, they implemented a mandatory new policy for all mortgages bought within the past three years requiring a minimum of a 20% HO6 insurance policy on dwelling. Territorial Savings, which originally gave us our mortgage, didn't require an HO6 at all. Although given that it is only beneficial to us to have one, at the time we weren't sure how much we could afford. After a few months of mortgage payments, we bought HO6 through Geico and only had 10% dwelling coverage. Then US Bank throws this curve ball at us and demands this 20% minimum coverage or else they would assign us an HO6 policy at a much higher cost!

    Our latest bad experience is that we are one day late for paying our mortgage on the first of this month. Then, when we paid online, they charged us a $3.50 charge for being late. US Bank says that we have a 15-day grace period to pay our mortgage without penalties. The $3.50 sounds like a penalty to me! And they have the nerve to tell us that there are more ways to pay our mortgage instead of online like mailing our check in or going to the nearest US Bank branch. Hello?! Honolulu doesn't have a US Bank branch. Not very graceful, if you ask me. What can we do though but vent our frustration! We could hope that US Bank sells our mortgage to a nicer, more customer-friendly bank but sounds more like US Bank would rather harass its customers for payment and slap fees on for late payments instead of helping people out.

Unemployment, after two requests, have failed to have my benefits deposited into my account with another bank and put it on some kind of card managed through US bank, which means I have to spend the gas to go to US Bank, withdraw the money and deposit into my account. On two occasions recently, their ATM has been down and while not a huge deal, you have to re-enter the street, wait at a stop sign go around the corner, park and then go to the lobby. This past Tuesday, I did my thing. I went to the ATM and it was down. With storm threatening and a thousand things to do, I circled to park and went in and made a very small fuss about the ATM. The teller was very young and evidently has issues I'm not qualified to assist him with. He asked for my ID and I gave him my valid driver's license and he did what the other teller had done before and went to the machine.

    He came back, placed the slip on the counter and was thinking hard, like you see a child do. Then, he asked if I had an account there. Now with this card, it is not a relevant question and I told him no. I didn't want one. He continued to ponder very hard and then asked for additional ID. I was a bit surprised and said what? He specifically continued to ask for a debit card from a different bank. Without thinking, but getting upset, I handed it to him. He continued to ponder and didn't give me my money and by now, I was mad. I asked him for his name so I could report him to corporate. He said, "Ma'am, I am just doing my job," and continued to stare at my cards. I later thought he might be memorizing the information or something. I asked for his manager. His manager came up and I explained the situation. She asked him why he had asked for additional ID and he said he was just doing his job. He walked away.

    I wanted my money and I wanted to leave. I know I was agitated as I told them. He had everything and had even gotten my debit card, which he asked for and I still didn't have my money and I wanted my money. They asked him why he hadn't gotten me my money; at which he had no reply. I am waiting and getting madder and demanded my money and explained he had written down an awful lot of information and as far as I knew, he now had my debit card information. The child teller continued to want to argue and I had to put my hand up and tell him to shut up and again demand my money. I had to do this at least three times. Well, I finally got my money, my ID's and left advising I would be reporting them to corporate.

    Now, I was an executive before I got laid off and can't believe I looked indigent enough to have been delivered such service and no indigent person should ever be treated like this. This kid had gone out of his way to attempt to make my life miserable. And like I didn't notice that as I left, they stood by the window to see what my license plate number or what kind of car I drove. I am so mad at them.

I then went online, got an ID password, etc. and it was still the same. We then canceled the service. Elavon then wanted to charge my husband $195.00 to cancel. He rejected that amount and told them they had lied and that he talked to someone very rude. This morning, they took the money out of my account. No notice, nothing. I'm on Social Security and know checks could bounce. I feel that they are thieves, liars and don't have any customer service qualities. Plus, US Bank owns them. I want the money replaced in my account.

    We were approaching 4 months for a refinance with US Bank. Both our first mortgage and HELOC are currently with US Bank. We have excellent credit scores and plenty of equity in our home. We were told the holdup was the subordination or our HELOC, even though it's all with US Bank. Other lenders are closing in 30 days, even with subordinations. The day before closing, we were called and told closing was cancelled and we were asked to pay additional money for a drive-by appraisal due to a fire that occurred on the complete opposite side of the Salt Lake County from where we live. (Salt Lake County is over 800 sq. miles.) Closing was delayed until underwriting could review drive-by appraisal and tell the scheduling department to reschedule.

    We are taking to loss of application, credit and appraisal fees and going elsewhere. We'll likely close before we would with US Bank and we're cutting 0.5% off our rate. I realize that I'm simply a number to US Bank, but it will be my pleasure to close out all other accounts I hold with US Bank in the coming months. This process for a simple refinance exemplifies all that is wrong with financial institutions these days.

    To make a long story short, I applied for a home equity loan. Big mistake. It seemed like it was going to take an act of congress to get approved, even with excellent credit. After a few days, I got a letter asking if I still wanted to be considered, but I never replied. I got the feeling that their loan servicing department is very screwed up and they don't know what they're doing. Also, a lot of the branches in grocery stores such as Meijer are staffed by kids that look like they just got out of high school. I went to National City Bank, now PNC, and was approved for the loan in one day. I will never go back to US Bank. Terrible!

    I applied for home equity line of credit and was told it would take 2-3 weeks to receive the loan. They would use our tax valuation and just do a drive-by appraisal. I received a thank you letter for my application on May 19, 2012 and the appraisal was ordered in early June. I found out late June that a full appraisal was needed, which took place on June 29, 2012. That appraisal was back to US Bank by July 9 and here it is July 17 and still no information! Our friends (who are partners in business) applied at exactly the same time and they still have no appraisal! I talked to our loan officer and he referred me to his supervisor, who only made excuses as to why he could not do anything. Horrible customer service!

    We originally applied to USAA for our mortgage, who then turned it over to be serviced by US Bank. We have experienced nothing but problems concerning US Bank. If you are applying for a mortgage, you might want to steer clear from US Bank and USAA, especially if you plan on utilizing USAA as your home insurance service. I can't even begin to tell you the unorganized and incompetence of US Bank. No wonder why there are such high losses. According to their own policies they have violated our privacy on numerous accounts. As well they have restricted access to our account to the same regard. Their Loss Drafts Department employs some of the most unaccountable, untrained, unreliable, individuals I have ever encountered. They all tell me different things, all of which delay the release of insurance funds for claims. They continuously state they never receive fax items, even after verifying fax receipts.

    During a previous insurance claim, they released the entire amount of the restricted escrow account on the basis of a having a field agent meet with the contractor alone. We never signed and sent in a satisfaction of completion form prior to the release of the funds. They also paid the contractor additional insurance claim funds that were supposed to be directed to us from USAA, but were sent to US Bank. We were never contacted prior to the release of these funds for which the work was never completed by the contractor. We have also found that there were several instances where there seemed to be a conflict of interest in regards to the relationship between US Bank who services our mortgage and USAA who provides us with the home insurance. This is one bank I hope doesn't get bailed out by the government. I would highly recommend anyone who has their mortgage serviced by US Bank to look into refinancing by another bank and since USAA utilized US Bank to service their mortgages, I would highly recommend not utilizing USAA as a mortgager as well.

Review fees, late fees, NSF fees and so many other undetermined fees. In 30 days, we demanded they close our account due to excessive charges. They said they could not close our account until we brought the account current. Bringing the account current meant paying their numerous fees they imposed themselves. This bank puts you into NSF status by packing all sorts of fees against your account to cause you to go into negative balance.

    First Incident: I needed to pay my account and I wanted to set up a payment to come automatically out of my checking account (when I did have one). Well, I called the day before to make sure this was all set to go for the next day. They called me a liar and said that I never called and that I was making it up. They told me that the call would have been logged if I did call. **, so I told them I would just do it myself online. The next day, I noticed two different transactions that were taking money out of my checking account to pay the card. I called and had to argue with the bank for over an hour to reverse one of them. I do not appreciate being called a liar, especially when obviously, I did talk to someone about setting up the payment. It was a lack of communication within the bank!

    Second Incident: I have a credit card and my payment was due on a Sunday. Banks are closed on Sundays so therefore, I was unable to make my payment. Before the Sunday came, I called card member services. I talked to a girl named Stacy and I asked for her information because of the previous troubles I have had. She told me that I would be able to make a payment through the ATM. I knew this did not sound right because I no longer have a bank account, only the credit card. But she was very sure of herself that this was possible without an account.

    I went with what she said and went to the ATM the Sunday my payment was due. It was not possible to make this payment! I went in the very next day and talked to a branch about the late charges I would receive because of this and they told me that I should not receive one because of a grace period for a Sunday. However, when I looked at the card account today, sure enough there was a $35.00 late charge that they said they cannot waive! How fair is that?

    Be cautious if US Bank invites you to participate in their lease/purchase program for your business and your customers. Make sure you are approved in writing before you tell any prospective customers about it. Don't waste money producing graphics for submission to US Bank for the application forms until you get that letter, even if the US Bank rep smiles at you and says, "Go ahead and tell your customers to sign up today, and send me all the artwork." Don't give US Bank the opportunity to turn you down for a lending service you never solicited, it will harm your credit. But the greatest damage that will occur is when you destroy your integrity as you call all of those potential customers and existing clients back trying to explain that "It turns out, our business doesn't qualify for that program with US Bank. I'm sorry I misled you." I lost a $30K sale with one client as a result of this. They purchased from another firm that didn't have to include a follow-up apology in their sales pitch.

US Bank found a way for making money on alleged excessive wear and tear. We further also disagree on paying taxes on a lease on a non-California based business.

    US Bank are thieves. I wrote a check when there was capital in the account to cover it. Since it was in-house, it credited right away and the balance reflected that. Later that night, an unexpected debit came in and they hit me with 2 NSF fees immediately. I told them that since I had paid the check out of existing that day and also brought in the cash in the morning, they should reverse the charges. As I was told I had the same day to cover, they should forgive both. They would not budge on either and said that everything posted at 11:59, so it was considered the next business day. I never had any problems at all before this. Customer Service said I should talk to the branch and the branch said I should talk to customer service. I just closed my account. Then, they did not close the account correctly and charged me another fee; so a total of $100 was just stolen. This bank is the worst for the runaround and lies.

    This bank gave $500 from my mother's account to my brother, who had been removed as a joint owner of the account for several months. The bank said, "Oops, we're used to him being on her account. Sorry." Then, they said some ridiculous thing like it was my mother's fault because my brother shouldn't have known my mother's bank account number. They said it's her fault for letting my brother in her home where he may find a check laying around with her bank account number on it. This is the most ridiculous and lame thing I have ever heard. The bank has no accountability and did not apologize at all for their error. They also sent a debit card on my mother's account, in my mother's name, to my sister, who used the card to withdraw cash from the ATM. This all occurred while my mother was ill and in the hospital.

    While my name was clearly on my mother's account as joint owner, the bank continued to release information about the account to both my sister and brother. The bank also had a long, long history of charging huge overdraft fees for overdrafts as small as $0.10 and on days that direct deposits were made on a routine (bi-weekly) basis. Thanks to the new financial protection laws passed under the Obama administration, this bank has not received one cent in overdraft fees from me since the passage of the laws. I have lost my job and no longer receive regular deposits, and had a very small amount of money in my account but did not use the account at all for over a month. I sent a letter to the bank asking if I was going to be charged a service fee, to let me know beforehand so I could just withdraw my small amount of cash.

    I had no plans at all to use this account, but was just keeping the cash there to keep the account open. Instead of answering my question, the bank just went ahead and took a service charge from me, leaving me practically nothing. Now I have asked if they plan to charge an overdraft fee next month to cover their service charge, even though I have not and will not use that account. I can almost guarantee you that they will do just that and will not even bother to answer my question, but rather assume that I am supposed to already know the answer. They are so desperate now that consumers are saving so much on overdraft fees that they will stoop as low as they can to nickel and dime us in any way possible.

    I personally think they are lacking in moral fiber and I do not want to ever do business with them again. My mother is also withdrawing her funds and moving them to another bank. She has a CD that just renewed for a measly 4/10 of a percent. This is a slap in the face. She has had CDs, money market funds and has trusted this bank with her money for many, many years and they give her the absolute lowest interest rate on her funds. They even advertise higher rates on their website, but must think my mother is too old to notice or otherwise discover this discrepancy. I am hoping these mistakes do not occur with our new financial institution. All I can say is if you use this bank, be very careful and watch your money closely!

    U.S. Bank should wear masks. They are thieves! We opened a small business account and got our credit card system set up with them. We went out of business in December 2011 (almost 6 months ago) even though we owned the terminal. They continued to charge us for months. We tried several times to get in touch with our U.S. Bank rep, who didn’t return our calls until 3 months later (April). His only excuse was that his phone didn’t work. Then he gave us a number to call, which we did and we're told to wait for a form and then fax it back. We faxed it 4 times since then. Today, June 11, 2012, they have taken $357 and caused us $165 in fees and we still haven’t got a confirmation of any type.

    The amazing thing is that they haven’t provided any service for us in 6 months. There haven’t been any transactions, nor telephone line or electricity. And yet every month the amount they charge is different. What should we do?

    Do not use this bank. I have a few problems with them. 3 years ago, I applied for a loan for a boat for my husband's birthday. I was excepted immediately due to an awesome credit rating (their words) and was given a 10% down payment requirement. I filled out all the paperwork and was approved. A week later, when I went to put my down payment, I was informed that I would need a 20% down payment and they could not offer an explanation why. Now, last month (May), I called and instructed them that I do not wish to have the auto withdrawal taken out of my account on a monthly basis and that I now wanted to make my monthly payments online. I was told that the request was put through.

    In June, they took the money anyway. As far as I'm concerned, they stole it. Their excuse was that there was an internal employee error. I can completely understand that, but they refused to give me my money back. Keep in mind that I have paid two weeks early every month for 3 years, far exceeding the minimum payment due. I am, in fact, 3 months of schedule and didn't even owe them a penny until August! I told them if they do not help me, in good faith, since I am such a top customer, I would have to take my balance due ($35,000) to another financial institution and their response was "Oh well, if that's what you want to do."

    How I ended up with US Bank is that when I refinanced my mortgage in 2003, this is the bank I got! Recently (February 2012), I got another homeowners policy, which was about a $500 reduction in my yearly insurance. Even though the policy activated on 3/13/2012, US Bank refused to acknowledge the new insurance company. They continued to give me the runaround saying that Nationwide Ins. only faxed the documents on 3/24/2012 when in fact they received the documents via mail the end of February 2012. Nationwide said they never fax documents.

    By saving $500/year on my insurance, this should have resulted in a lower mortgage payment; however, even when they acknowledged the insurance and sent the new payment to the insurer, they kept my mortgage at the same rate until May (left out something). Someone from US Bank called me at home and verbally told me what my new payment was, which I promptly had my credit union to pay. Then they sent me my regular mortgage statement showing the old mortgage payment and the new mortgage payment was nowhere on the statement. They showed where they received my new payment, but applied it to my escrow account, which they said was a “suspense” account because they needed the full (old) payment.

    After many phone calls and being given the runaround, I was finally able to talk to an “honest” person that sent me out a new mortgage statement denoting the new mortgage payment. They also sent me an escrow check showing the new insurance payment. However, I come to find out that my county taxes also dropped significantly, but it was never reflected or told to me. My credit union sent my May payment on time, but today, May 26, 2012, Saturday, I received my statement from US Bank showing my mortgage delinquent and that I'm to send double payments, even though my credit union clearly paid them. The customer service center is closed today. This new “mess” will involve more phone calls and supposedly late fees, etc. I'll have to wait until Tuesday to call since Monday is a holiday.

    I believe US Bank does this to customers on purpose to hold customers’ money, thereby increasing their profits on the money held and interest gained. They are running roughshod (blatantly) over their customers, knowing customers can’t refinance since they're underwater on their mortgages. I think a class-action lawsuit should be filed against them. If not, we the customers should file a civil suit in small claims court. I believe if enough of us filed small claims against them, this blatant robbery will stop! Interest on our money goes to them the longer they take to resolve matters, and if no one does anything, they will continue to get away with it. Please don’t let this happen. We can file small claims!

    My experience with US Bank was awful! A few months ago, my cell phone provider's automated system accidentally removed $245.00 from my US Bank account. Now, I bank with chase, but I keep the US Bank account for my direct deposit for work. (US Bank will only direct deposit to a US Bank account.) When they took the funds, it resulted in overdrawing my account.

    First of all, I was never notified by US Bank until a week later when I checked the account. When I called to discuss it, I was told by a customer service rep I had to go into a branch; and then, he hung up on me! So I went to a branch where I was told that since I was an employee, they could not even touch my account. Finally, I went downtown to the main bank and was able to file a fraud report against the company. After all of that, I received a letter stating that I approved the funds and would not get my money back! Now why would I purposely overdraw an account that I need for work?

    A few days later, I received a call from the repayment department suggesting I do a 3-month repayment plan. Even though I didn't feel like I was responsible and I needed the account, I agreed. My payment was due on the 30th of each month. Well, when the 30th came around, I had an unexpected bill and didn't pay it. Well, on the 4th of the month, US Bank took the funds and overdrafted the account again!

    I called several times and was told by an automated system that I needed to "call back in an hour" and was never able to get a rep on the line. On the 15th, I went to my bank to withdraw my paycheck (knowing that half of it would be taken for fees), only to discover my account had been closed! The rep I spoke to was very rude and told me that my account was closed because I refused to comply with the repay.

    I asked to speak to a supervisor and was told by them that US Bank had the right to withdraw funds from my account without my permission, even though it resulted in overdrawing the account again. So now, I have no idea where my paycheck is or when US Bank will return my money! During this whole process, I was never called or sent notification of overdrafts or automatic withdrawals. The repay rep never told me that the funds would be automatically taken days later if the payment wasn't made. The supervisor insisted this was legal! I work for US Bank. Trust me, it is never legal to remove funds from someone's account no matter what the arrangements are.

    At this point, I don't know what else to do. I have lost over $800 in overdraft fees, and no one I have spoken to is any help! But the best part about it is that the account is closed! I'll keep my money under the mattress before I use US Bank ever again.

I had renovations slated to begin and the delay caused us to incur higher construction costs.

    I also feel like I received poor customer service throughout the entire loan process. US Bank did not properly inform me of a closing timeline and I was very frustrated by not having our calls returned in a timely manner. I missed a day of work to meet with my title company because I was under the impression that documents would be ready before they were. At this point, I was so frustrated by a lack of clear communication from US Bank that I would have liked to have taken my business to another bank, but was fearful that a delay would cause me to lose the property.

    On March 29, 2012, an individual walked into a US Bank branch claiming to be me and withdrew money and cashed a fraudulent check. This individual walked in only with my account number. This individual did not have a bank card. For the amount of both transactions, the teller should have requested a signature card from my branch to compare for verification of identity. The individual's signature clearly looks nothing like mine. Due to the teller's failure, carelessness and negligence, the individual got away with these fraudulent transactions. I opened a fraud case for both transactions. I asked US Bank what info was used for this individual to get away with this. The branch's assistant manager said that no ID was requested on behalf of the teller. Soon after, the story changed. Now they claim an ID was requested.

    Now I am calling the fraud department everyday to see when this case will be resolved. They have all the info they need to close this case and put the money back in my account. However, they claim that they are still working on it. I am a single mom and a part-time student. The money that was taken from me is not extra money that I did not need. It is terrible that it is taking this long for US Bank to resolve this issue. US Bank was negligent and breached its duty of care and as a result, I am emotionally distressed.

    While grocery shopping at Vons, a friendly young guy approached us to get our business with U.S. Bank. I said we were shopping for a car and he invited us to apply. We gave him the information on each of us (I have a 733 credit score and my girlfriend has an 810 credit score). We have no debt and plenty of assets. I am retired and self-employed, while she works full time for another bank. We were told that because I had a BK 9 years ago, they would have to direct our loan to 'alternative financing (a higher rate).' We said, "No thanks." That was ten days ago.

    Today, I have a nice candy red Toyota Rav with financing from a credit union at 2.6%. I financed in my name only. When I got home in my new car (true story), I picked up my mail and found five pieces of correspondence from U.S. Bank. We were both summarily dismissed by U.S. Bank and informed that our loan application was denied. Since I have a loan at an incredible rate, with a really nice new car, I am happy. But how do you think I feel about U.S. Bank? I am planning to move a significant amount of money from my existing bank to the credit union who played fair with us. My girlfriend got stuck with a ding on her credit but it will go away. Do you think we will ever forget the miserable experience with U.S. Bank? I felt it was a classic case of bait and switch.

    I pay all my bills online. However, every time I go the USBank.com to pay my bills, I'm faced with having to log in 50-200 times (no joke, I counted). I feed the system correct information and it simply tells me that “online banking is not available right now,” which I know is complete ** since my sister can log in at the same time and sometimes she gets in when it’s telling me it’s not available. I'm so sick and tired of this crap.

    I e-mailed US Bank and they e-mailed me back telling me that it’s for my security and gave me some POS political answer that just meant they weren't even going to look into. What’s the point of having security that makes the website unusable? I'm about to leave the company since it’s pointless for me to have this when I can't even use it to pay my bills. Someone slap these people. When I put in correct information, I should be able to get into my account, period. I'm looking to leaving this ridiculous company for a credit union.

    I called the Fraud Department of US Bank on March 12, 2012, and every week thereafter for 3 weeks, to report a possible misuse of my 79-year old mother's social security number which apparently was used to open an account with US Bank (as advised to her by the Social Security Administration). My mother has never banked with US Bank her entire life. I spoke with Jolene initially. After confirming the obvious (that the account did not belong to my mother), she promised that her manager would call me back within 3 days. The callback never happened. I called again after a week and was told the manager was out to lunch, and I would get a callback from him after an hour. Callback never happened.

    On March 27, 2012, I spoke to Elizabeth, who again promised a callback from manager, Blair, who finally called back and said all he could do was refer the matter again to the branch who set up the account. Blair refused to provide the branch information, but promised that the branch would call me back asap. It is now April 18, 2012 and no one from US Bank has called me back despite my providing both my work and home numbers to them. One would think that US Bank would treat a fraud report more seriously than this.

    We did a home improvement project for an insurance claim in Bristol, VA. We finished the job back on January 18, 2012. At that time, the customers requested that the final payment be released. All proper paperwork had been submitted twice because US Bank said our information had been accidentally deleted out of their computer system at the beginning of January from the 1st time we had sent it.

    It is now 90 days since we have completed the job and the bank has yet to release the final payment. We have had to send form 3 and 4 times to get our funds released and each time, US Bank claims to have lost, misplaced or not received the proper paperwork. As a result of them not releasing the funds, we have had to place a lien on the customer's property and we are about to have to execute a lawsuit just to get paid on work that has been finished.

    US Bank is not the bank I started with. They took over PFF Bank, which failed like so many other banks. I loved PFF, and was quite saddened when it failed. I had a checking account there and an IRA. They gave me 5% in 2001 annually at first, which of course declined, like everything else.

    After PFF failed, I got a letter saying US Bank took over its assets and I should see them about setting up my IRA there. I am 64 years old and have free access to my funds. I get distributions every month, but if I need money, like this month to pay my property tax, US Bank charges me a $25 "administrative fee" and a percentage fee, about 8%, of the amount I am taking out. I call that "double dipping", and it is not looked at kindly at a party, or at a bank. I worked hard for that money, and for a bank to double dip into it when I have a need for it is **. I am only getting 2% there, and have to keep it there until 2014, or else they will take out a large percent of it.

    Then, I have a credit card there. I bring the payment to the bank. If the due date is on a Saturday, to them it is late, because of their system. I got a couple of late fees, which of course I refuse to pay. My other bank has a 10-day "grace period", and another does not hold it against you if your due date is on a Saturday. They couldn't believe it when I told them about US Bank's dealings. The people there are cold and rude. A teller from PFF Bank was given a job there, but I haven't seen him for a while. Too bad, he was really nice.

    US Bank allowed a dealership finance me a vehicle that had frame damage to it to the point where the structure of the vehicle had been weakened. I would've never knew had I tried to trade in the vehicle and the dealership told me they didn't want the car after running the VIN number. This vehicle was financed for $21,000. When I contacted US Bank, they advised me that had they knew this information, they would've never financed the vehicle. Also, US Bank made me pay over $200 to their collateral department to investigate the issue.

    I went to US Bank Denver location because I didn't have to pay closing cost to refinance my mortgage. I was quoted a rate and told it was locked in because I gave them all the information they needed.I left the branch with a printout showing the information we talked about. A few days later, I received "truth" in lending/good faith form by mail. The interest rate was wrong and the loan amount was wrong. I called to the loan officer. He said not to worry about the letter I received, he knows the information is wrong but that will be fixed later. I wanted him to confirm the rate we talked about. Now, he said "oh no, it's higher because I misquoted you. I quoted you for 5 years and not 10 years". ** because the printout had the correct 120 months (10 years). Watch out. Bait and switch all the way! Screw them. I canceled the application. They lost over $46k in interest because they are messing around with their customers only to try to make $3k.

    I received a phone message to call the bank about my home mortgage and after having to wait, enter the loan number and my SS# into their closed system, finally spoke to a person who rudely told me they wanted to know when I would pay my overdue March payment plus the fees. I said that I had made that payment at the end of January, using the bank's form which showed the bill was due 3/1/12 and included a specific section showing what was the payment, if an extra principle or other payments were being made and the total. I included an extra principal payment as I have done for over 20 years. This showed clearly on the form. I then have never received a statement for my April 1st payment.

    The exceedingly rude person insisted I haven't made the payment and when I said I was sitting here with both my bank statement and their bill for March, left me on the line. The person then said yes, they had the payment and had credited it all to principal since it was so early. She said it would be reversed but they would not send me a letter to this effect. She also said that they had no responsibility to send me a monthly bill and it was a courtesy on their part. She directed me to my contract (which was not with US Bank) and said I was responsible for timely payments. I have attempted to call the bank on a variety of 800 numbers and end up in their automatic system which tells me I have not made a payment. I cannot find a number for complaints or one where I can talk to a human being. Beware of this bank!

    I have an almost perfect record for credit in the last eight years, except for a bankruptcy in 2004. The FICO score is in the 700. I had a sizable car loan that was paid off at an earlier time from this bank. I wanted to purchase a Harley Davidson and need a three thousand dollars loan to build up credit and make a very good investment. The person at the loan department in Flippin, Arkansas told me a decision would be made in 24 hours. I never received a phone call and was told after I contacted them that I did not get the loan. I asked to talk with someone higher up and was never given anyone to talk to. I have been with the bank 6 years and have had car loans. I was never late on anything. I went down to another local bank and was issued a loan within one hour by several banks. Just to let you know, I found the people to be rude and unreliable in this bank. I will be closing my account and I will be going to a more efficient operation. I may be a small fish in the water, but if people are treated as rude and disrespectful as I was, then good luck in the future.

    They keep charging 5 dollar fee every time, when I don't have enough money, that they transfer funds from savings into checking. Five dollars should not be touched. It should be free as it is automatically linked from savings into checking. Why charge 5 dollars? It runs out fast from savings. I'm unhappy with US Bank.

    I have overdraft protection with US Bank. I have direct deposit and before my direct deposit is being made by the bank, they are putting through my withdrawals, which at times require a transfer my secondary checking and then charges my account $5. They are putting the debit through first and not putting through the scheduled deposit, because by doing this, they make $5 every time from me. This is an unfair money making practice. They need to put deposits through first then the withdrawals.

    In short, at the end of my auto lease, I decided to purchase the vehicle for a multitude of reasons and was looking forward to favorable terms. US Bank leased me the car, then financed the purchase. They quickly sent me all applicable transfer of title docs, etc. Included with that package was a check for the "total sales tax amount due" to my local taxing authorities. That check, as it turns out when I went to the taxing office to pay the taxes, was short by 30%. The total amount of the check was based on the sales price at the local tax rate. That makes sense to me. However, for the past 5+ years, my County Taxing Authority bases the tax on the value of the vehicle and not the sales price.

    US Bank does business and has made car loans in my county and city (Houston, TX) before so you think they would know this. I called US Bank and after 45 minutes on the phone with their employees, both told me that there was nothing they could do and that is that and goodbye. I have not once been late on the multiple cars that I have either purchased or leased from them. I have never called to complain. I have never called to get something for nothing. I was simply calling to have them expedite the 30% they owed to my county for the sales tax as that was what they represented to me both verbally and in writing (i.e. attached letter to the sales tax check). Business goes where it is wanted and stays where it is appreciated!

    US Bank is an institution that, although may have competitive rates and a nice load of rhetoric in its advertising, has no grasp of a successful business model which starts with customer service. A small car loan is obviously nothing more than budget dust on their books, but could you imagine doing a large real estate development deal or anything else that requires creativity, accountability or just plain customer appreciation? In summary, US Bank epitomizes why doing business with your local lender is usually the best route.

    It seems like every one I talk to including myself has a problem with this particular bank on flood insurance and other things to make the payment go up. I believe these people are trying to make the housing market collapse so they can find away to make some major money. They want talk to anyone about refinancing and I think in some papers somewhere they should be some rules or laws about that.

    I have banked with US Bank since 2006, using both checks and debit cards. One thing I have discovered is that if you use your debit card based upon the "available balance" of your account, they wait until just before your transactions clear, charge you some silly, unnecessary fee that sends you into a negative balance, and then bounce your transactions so that you are charged for them.

    I am on a tight budget, so I usually have just enough in the account to cover exactly what I need to spend. I am constantly having to transfer from my savings to checking to cover their stupid fees. It is very frustrating to go from having enough money in your account to being overdrawn when you did not spend more than what you put in there. I have called to complain about this several times, requesting that they stop the services for which they charge these stupid fees. They say the adjustments have been made, and then it happens all over again.

    I am obviously no financial genius, but I think this is taking advantage of those who have very little in resources to begin with. I would love to switch over to a credit union, but my husband is inflexible and doesn't want to go through the hassle of finding another bank, because, as a government employee, he likes knowing there are US Banks wherever we might get transferred. As far as I'm concerned, their convenience of location is just about the only thing good about them.

    A tornado hit our house Friday. Our insurance company is giving us money to get it fixed, but US Bank wants to hold the check since their name is on it also. We have construction workers trying to get a roof on it, board windows, and holes. We can't pay them because US Bank wants to "do it" since their name is on the check too. So we have to halt the construction for at least a month and then follow their guidelines, even though we got a construction loan and built it ourselves.

    Angry? Furious, actually. I paid my US Bank credit card on time and in the past, all payments were posted by US Bank to my account on time. Today, I learned that my on-time payment in January 2012 was posted one day late, meaning I got slammed with a late charge even though my credit union electronically transferred the funds to US Bank on time. Today, I also learned that my March payment has not yet been posted. Meaning, it is now 3 days late. I am closing my US Bank credit card account as soon as USB posts my payment. And to think I once thought BOA was the devil. My credit union is now getting 100% of my banking business.
