U.S. Bank is the WORST!!! FAILURE TO DISCLOSE/BANK FEES/COUNTERFEIT MONEY/LOST CHECKS/ FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY THAT YOUR MONEY IS PROTECTED!
 
When I opened two U.S. Bank accounts they FAILED TO DISCLOSE that I couldn't write any checks for an unreasonably lengthy period of time (approx. 1-2 months) as they don't give you immediate access to your money! So my checks bounced and I was charged HEFTY BANK FEES. They said I should have read the fine print in the mounds of paperwork they give you when you get a new acct.
 
I opened a personal checking acct. for myself and a family trust account. Despite the fact I explained to the bank mgr. that the trust had a tax ID # and was not my money, the bank made me attach my SS# to the trust acct. It made me uncomfortable, as I had concerns about the trust acct. being mistakenly tied i to me as I had a costly outstanding judgment against me at the time. The bank mgr. gave me a false sense of security assuring me that THE MONEY WAS PROTECTED and my SS# would "only be seen internally by US Bank so could not be tied to me or my personal debt." Her gross misinformation cost me double the amount years later-$300,000.00. The bank mgr. retired less than a year later.
 
Another time I withdrew cash in $100 bills and U.S. bank gave me COUNTERFEIT BILLS! A few weeks later I went (to another branch) to pay my credit card bill and the bank CONFISCATED MY $100 BILL alleging it was counterfeit, despite the fact I informed them I had gotten the bill from THEM!
 
I paid most bills via bill pay online. One time I paid a property tax and DMV bill, both totaling nearly $13,000.00. U.S. Bank paid them by checks rather than direct bank transfer and LOST BOTH CHECKS IN THE MAIL! This cost me hundreds of dollars in "late fees" due to U.S. BANKS NEGLIGENCE. This incident was then followed by 2 years and multiple hours of emails, phone calls, copying/mailing documents, corresponding with both government agencies who ran me in circles regarding my request to refund my late fees. I paid the DMV 3 times on one bill and to this day have not received any refund for my multiple payments, thanks to U.S. Bank. 
 
I received a letter dated 5/17 from U.S. Bank informing me they had increased my credit line and encouraging me to take advantage of their loans. A few days later I receive another UNSIGNED LETTER from U.S. Banks  "Account Closure Department" informing me that they will be closing both accounts on 5/31. Upon receipt of that letter,  that left only ONE WEEK NOTICE to deal with outstanding checks, direct deposits, and having to open a new account! They gave NO EXPLANATION WHY so I called the # on the letter but no one answers. I left a message but no one returns your call. I called both my local branch and U.S. Banks Corporate ofc. but they knew nothing about it and told me to call the # in the letter. 
 
U.S. Bank cowardly hides behind unsigned letters and mock phone numbers and passes the buck between departments. So much for being a "valued customer" after approx. 10 years!!!
