BB&T nsf fees and bad banking practices Charlottesville Gloucester, Virignia

I had a checking account w/ BB&T and a savings account linked for overdraft protection. the checking account was opened in gloucester, va and the savings account was opened in Charlottesville.

This I was told was not a problem because they are computerized. My mother was helping with my account because I was sick. I wrote a check for $2.00 more than was in my account and it bounced. In fact the bounced and returned 12-18 checks. Each check was a $30 nsf fee, plus I had to chase down and pay each check plus their fees. It cost me well over $1000.

I am the sole support of three children and being sick it about killed me financially. when we approached the bank (my other and I) they claimed it was a computer error and would not return my fees or give me a letter stating it was their fault. Eventually I was taken to court because of the amounts of the checks and charged with a felony. I also spent 3 days in jail.

When I went to court I was found Inosent and the judge told me that the evodence was enough that I should take bb&t to court. It was very evedent that it was not my fault so I am currently trying to get them into court to sue!!! This has been a nightmare. I have never broken the law and even though I was found guilty the fact that I spent 3 days in jail for a crime I did NOT Commit will always be on my record. Also I cannot open an account anywhere until this is resolved in court. I feel sorry for anyone else who might have gone through this. I have contacted the better business bureau with no results and also the FTC w/ no results.
