Product: Checking or savings account — Savings account
Issue: Managing an account — Problem making or receiving payments
Company: Flagstar Bank, N.A. (MI)

I had a checkings and savings account with Flagstar bank back in Spring 2019. 

When I tried to transfer funds from my savings account to my checkings, it charged me a {$35.00} fee. It was the first transfer I made in a month. 

When I went to a branch, they told me they couldn't do anything as it wasn't the original branch I open the account with, and about the fee as it became overdrafted after I closed the account as the promotional interest rate for savings expired. 

They fee grew to {$220.00} and was sent to collections illegally to XXXX XXXX. I say illegally as any bank has a courtesy of reimbursing automatically an overdraft or late fee once a year and this is damaging my credit potentially costing me money.

Bank of America XXXX credit card. 
An annual fee was assessed even though i closed the account and havent used the card in many years. i called to have them reverse the fee as i closed the account in XX/XX/XXXX and had paid XXXX dollars of the XXXX dollar fee. i told them to keep the XXXX as it would more than cover two months of the year. they said since i used the card once ( who knows how long ago ) that a service fee is charged to the account no matter what and it is not refundable. I have not used the card in 4 or 5 years at least and feel that their previous fees more than cover any cost that they have incured from any purchase i made umpteen years ago. i feel this is ridiculous and my fee should be refunded immediately.
