Complaint:
Page 2 Represents the purpose of the Overdrafts fees They also state that the Debit Plus program will cover any fees dealing with insufficient funds. There is no mention of any thing else but that. 
Page 3-4 ( Message Detail ) confirms that I in fact had overdraft fees and not special handling fees They also confirm that I'm currently enrolled in the Debit Plus Program and there's never any mentions of " Special Handling Fees '' Page 5 & 6 are the closest representations to the totally free checking account I signed up for again there is never a mention " special handling fees '' Page 7-9 is from the Bank Vice President who had time to make up false terms and did not know about the communication with the online bank customer help. He contradicted the statement that was said on Page 3 that was seen for their brochure on Pages 2 & 6 about a {$30.00} overdraft fee which was never properly applied to my account since its inception. 
The explanation given that I had " special handling fees '' was a bit of a fallacy and it was the exact same amount as Overdraft Fees which were {$30.00}. He also states I had a full mailbox ( That wasn't true they just didn't want to communicate back with me ) Page 10 on starts the highlighted " Special Handling Fees '' of {$30.00} which mostly include " Continuous Overdraft Fees '' of {$10.00} more to my account. When I first started with my account the online banking would present the {$30.00} charges as " Overdraft Fees '' it wasn't until after the statements came out or days later when the amount charged would not be covered and have the label " Special Handling Fees '' They add in additional funds owed to over {$300.00} to {$310.00} in collections because that would also become a Chex Systems history on top of the amount of " special handling fees '' even after the closed out amount on my account was {$280.00} and they never covered a single overdraft.

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a notice of possible attorney review from Midland Credit Management ( Midland ) where they stated, " We are proceeding with an evaluation of your account and are considering forwarding this account to an attorney in your state for possible litigation. '' I had already asked Midland to provide evidence that I owed the debt because I am a victim of identity theft. Midland sent over a copy of billing statements, and nothing baring my signature. 

I submitted Midlands documents to my attorney who is working my identity theft case and he started working on the case. He advised Midland to not reach to me any more and to send all correspondences to his office. He also asked Midland to confirm that they have ceased collection actions against me and to also confirm that they have not put any negative marks on my credit profile. 

Midland sent a billing statement to my attorney also. After the second letter to Midland on XX/XX/XXXX we never heard anything back from Midland. On XX/XX/XXXX I noticed that Midland added their collection to my credit report as being past due.
