Capital One Reordering Transactions

overdraftfees Lawsuits against Capital One and other financial institutions allege they purposely reordered transactions to push customers into overdraft more quickly and increase revenue made from overdraft fees. Rather than posting the transactions in the order they occurred, Capital One and other institutions posted the transactions in order of highest to lowest dollar value, effectively pushing customers into overdraft more quickly.

For example, if a customer has $95 in his account and makes three purchases of $10 and a final purchase of $100, only the final purchase would involve overdraft fees. With the transactions reordered so the $100 purchase is posted first, all four transactions would involve overdraft fees.

Capital One and other banks have said they are not violating any laws by reordering transactions.
 

Capital One Settlement

Earlier in 2015, Capital One announced it had reached a settlement, ending claims about deceptive overdraft fees. The settlement will see Capital One pay approximately $31.8 million to approximately 611,000 customers. Capital One did not admit any liability in agreeing to the settlement.

The lawsuit is In re: Checking Account Overdraft Litigation, case number 1:09-md-02036, in the US District Court for the Southern District of Florida.

April 30, 2018
Chicago, IL MB Financial dinged Rhonda Boone for a truly jaw-dropping $6,000 in bank overdraft fees between 2015 and 2017. That was 18 percent of her total income for those years. On March 12, 2018 she filed a lawsuit in the Northern District of Illinois seeking class action status on behalf of herself and other similarly situated checking and money market account customers. The fact that these are state law claims suggests that the future direction of consumer financial protection lies in the class action lawsuits to enforce state, rather than federal, law. READ MORE
