      I am continuously being charged overdraft fees for items that aren’t even being paid out by the institution to cover the charges. I have 14 over draft fees totaling $457 and my account is over drawn only $457, which means my overdrafts are the only fees on my account but it shows that nothing was paid out on my behalf to any other company. So what am I paying overdraft for? Just the processing and return of the payments?

      Citadel does not allow me to make a payment from my checking account to my ********************** card account. I cant transfer the money from my checking account to the ********************** card account. I got paid and my payroll check went into my account after 12am on my pay date. They would not allow me to use my card to pay my bills, withdrawal money, or make a payment to my credit card. My car insurance was due, I needed to pay my water & electric bill and was not able to because of the hold they put on my account for $73. They should not put a hold on my account & hold all of my pay, it should only be for the payment that is due. They have made it impossible to make a payment or a transfer to the credit from my account & held my pay up for the $73 owed. How is this fair? This is abusive and controlling and they should legally be allowed to put a hold on my card for anymore than the payment that is due. I have had an account with them since 2009 and this is how they treat me. If they didnt put the restrictions they have on my account i would pay the payment due before the due date, they also added a $35 late fee. I dont feel this is fair banking, its controlling and abusive.
