Consumer Narrative
On XX/XX/2021 I closed my checking and savings accounts with PNC Bank. I authorized a check in the amount of my full remaining balance to be mailed to my home, as well as all sufficient paperwork that explicity states that the accounts are closed. I received all of that, the check was in the correct amount, and I also received a final statement that shows a balance of {$0.00}. On XX/XX/2021, I received an email from PNC Bank with a warning my checking account was overdrawn. I was able to log in to my online banking XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I saw that PNC had charged me a month service fee of {$13.00}, which is issued for not having the minimum balance in the checking account ( {$500.00} ). Of course I wouldn't have a minimum balance because the account was closed on XX/XX/2021. However, the online statement showed a balance of {$0.00} on XX/XX/2021 -- XXXX days after my account was closed, with the memo " Interest payment ''. I called a local PNC branch and the banker could not provide an explanation as to why there was XXXX XXXX put into my account, and why it was still opened. He issued me a check for the XXXX and ensured that the account was now closed. I asked for him to send a paper document to my home that would confirm the new closure of my account, but he said that they don't have anything. I think it needs to be investigated as to why my account was reopened with XXXX XXXX in order for PNC to charge fees. There should have not been an interest payment because the account was closed and there was no money in it for them to even issue interest in the first place.
