I initially opened my bank account XX/XX/XXXXfor my VA XXXX check as the government wanted to do away with a paper check. My account did not have any service fees attached to it as long as I used no checked and never went into the bank and only used the debit card and the ATM. Wachovia bought this bank out around XX/XX/XXXX or XX/XX/XXXX and the account stayed the same. When Wells Fargo bought them out during the subprime crisis they started charging me a monthly fee for my account. I talked to numerous people and fees were waved for a time but then returned. When I called again to complain about the fees, they switched my account stating this would be a better account for me. I was given the impression that this would stop the fees. But instead they were increased from XXXX dollars a month to XXXX dollars a month. Again I called to complain about charging me fees on my account and was told I needed to have XXXX dollars in the account a month. My VA XXXX is not that much and there are no bank branches or ATMs in my state. I even pointed out that all of Wells Fargo competitors have free accounts for XXXX Vets and XXXX XXXX Military. I was told that they do n't. I submitted paperwork with my VA Rep in XXXX, Ohio to change my VA XXXX to a different Bank account on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. Unfortunately, due to how the VA operates, the XXXX direct deposit did n't go through till XXXX XXXX, XXXX ( not a typo ). Then I was able to close the account. So from XXXX to XXXX Wells Fargo bank has charged me a fee for an account I never signed up for, with a bank I never opened an account with due to the Mortgage Crisis and the fact that they bought out my bank ... on a check that the IRS ca n't even tax due to it being my Service Connected XXXX check from Veteran 's Affairs. No one from Wells Fargo wanted to help me and I feel it to be discrimination. First a XXXX from the VA with a pittance of a check for serving my country, then XXXX by a Bank who helped cause a XXXX.
