I want to submit a complaint regarding my bank Suntrust. Last week I was assessed an NSF fee of {$100.00} for a checking account that was not actually overdrawn. I had unexpected purchase as a pending charge to the account of {$49.00}. The charge was for a membership to my gym and is n't consistently charged at the same time every month. The pending charge made my available balance less than I had into the account, so I transferred money into it to cover it. I checked the account a couple of days later and saw that a fee of {$100.00} had been posted for charges that at that point were still pending. I immediately contacted by bank. After speaking with several personnel. I was finally put into contact with someone that removed the charges. 

My issue is as follows : How can you charge a fee on something that has not occurred yet? Pending charges are just that pending charges. Many times, I have had pending charges for duplicate purchases or errors show up on my account. It seems to me that my bank is placing posted fees on pending charges. This strikes me as completely unethical and may be illegal. I was able to get in touch with someone and have it resolved. I am certain that there are people without the resources to do so that get stuck paying these fees. Since banks fees accrue, they basically stacking fees daily and now they have the ability to do that before your account is technically overdrawn.
