Comerica bank has wrongly charged my account overdrafts fees. I just learned this morning that only a $100 is available when making a deposit unless direct deposit, but the online version of the account doesn't show that.

Penalty fees are reprehensible compared with the cost (if any) by the financial institution. Penalty fees also unfairly target financially disadvantaged.

After working in the finance industry for 8 years, I know that the banks have used their muscle to rip off hard working people by applying unjustified fees and charges all in the name of making a profit.

It is time that the Federal Government stopped these unfair fees and charges.

In the UK millions of pounds were paid back to customers after it was ruled that such charges were illegal.

The banks know they have got away with steeling. Show some courage and stop this unfair practice.

This is getting ridiculous. ANZ charge a $35 honour fee if you go over your amount. I know the logical way to avoid this is to watch your spendings, but sometimes it happens. And if you can't access an ATM or online banking and you are down, you lose $35 a day. This is f***ing bulls***. Attack ANZ, attack every bank on this situation because it;s not fair they profit on people who can't control their fundings as well as they should. I've lost a total of $140 already!

Our economic climate is due to the financiers and banks. For our government to do nothing about the new fees for customers to access their own money through their bank/credit union ATM is disgusting. It is time our government stopped pandering to the these companies and started actually working for the people who employed them.

Commonwealth Banks penalty fees are excessively punitive, and not in line with the banks actual costs of overdrawing approval etc.

Action must be taken to stop this robbery. Eliminate the illegal penalty fees or reduce them such that the fee incurred is merely compensatory for the cost of processing, not a penalty as such.
Doing so will correctly realign power away from the banks back towards low income groups such as students who are hit hard by these fees and society in general.

Repeatably requested the Australian National Bank to prevent my account from over drawing, even though they still claim the problem is fixed , i find myself constantly transferring funds to clear small debts, usually within a few hours over the internet. I was unable to fix the problem once, when i overdrew by 30 dollars, so they charged me a 30 dollar reference fee. They refuse that its their problem and blame the phone lines allowing me to over drawer even though it happens every time!

I have fought them for years over these fees, and their callousness, arrogance & unAustralian behaviour know no bounds.

The only thing they understand is PROFIT AT ALL COSTS - HIT THEM WHERE IT HURTS THE MOST!!

Why don't we start a movement - "DON'T PAY YOUR MORTGAGE UNTIL BANKS REMOVE ILLEGAL PENALTY FEES".

I'm in!! What could they do? They need to learn the POWER OF THE PEOPLE!!
