I closed my account a couple of weeks ago, then I just got a letter in the mail telling me that I got a bunch NSF charges. Now my closed account is in the negative. I called the bank and they told me I need to come in. Has anyone had this situation come up where even the account was closed the pals tried to take out the money and you were still charged and what should I tell the bank to stop this from happening again?


You need to go to you bank branch and explain to them that these are fraudulent, unauthorized charges. Also explain that you closed your account to prevent these charges from taking place.

Many banks will allow new transactions to "re-open" an account, hence your charges. They should reverse those when you explain the situation. If they don't, you'll need to speak to the branch manager.

I had a closed account get reopened just after 48 hours from when I closed it because the ACH revocations I had sent it were disregarded. The branch manager had assured me, personally, that the accounts would be closed and no one would be able to reopen the accounts in question after the first 48 hours had passed.

When the transactions posted, I wasn't immediately notified. However, a teller informed me about the transactions when I was depositing my paycheck into my new account and cashing out for the weekend. I was told that the branch manager would have to review them. I called into Customer Service that night and was told that since the manager returned the items, the account would not be reopened. Any further transactions that would go against my account would be denied.

This is with PNC.

To the original poster:

Did you contact your lender(s) and revoke the ACH agreement you had in place with them? A phone call won't do - you must put your request in writing and at the very least mail it in via USPS Certified Mail. Optionally you can fax and e-mail it to them as well.

What was in your letter? Did you also revoke any wage assignments?

Was a copy of the letter provided to your bank (optional) and your employer?

I emailed it to them, I didn't give it to my bank. Should I bring a copy with me when I go tomorrow?
I'm still not clear tomorrow when I walk into the bank and ask to speak with someone, I tell them that these ach debits were unauthorized and that I had revoked their right to with draw money from my account?
