My bank told me that they were n't legally obligated to keep the balance of my account current on their website. Specifically, pending transactions will post only a certain amount of days ( showing the real balance ) until they are dropped, after which the balance no longer reflects the pending transactions ( showing a false balance ). The problem is once they pending debits are dropped from the online statement ( even though they are still pending ), they are removed from the balance, removing those debits. 

I thought I had positive balance when in actuality I had a negative balance because what was on the website was not the real balance. I attached my last withdrawal, when I thought I had enough in my account to do so. I would have taken out less cash if I had known they took the pending debits off my balance. That 's trickery they used. 

I ended up being charged overdraft fees and then extended overdraft fees that added up to around {$150.00}.
