Sincerely, XXXX BBVA Compass Customer Service Member FDIC Equal Housing Lender To which I responded with " How were the fees valid? I would like an explanation of this '' Accompanied with a screenshot of what I see on my bank account. After which I noted I had been charged TWO MORE NSF in which they refuse to credit back to the account. It seems they waited to post the 2 transactions that caused me to fall negative ( the transactions were made on XX/XX/XXXX in which I had money for them ) until after they corrected the fee, in an effort to charge me two more fees. My response was as follows in regards to the validity of the first fee : Thank you very much for contacting BBVA Compass. We apologize for the delay in our response. We? ve received your inquiry on a recent Non-Sufficient Funds fee. 
After reviewing your account ending in XXXX our records indicate when the {$1.00} debit was made to XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, the available balance was - {$45.00}, therefore making this a valid NSF fee.

Sincerely, XXXX BBVA Compass Customer Service Member FDIC Equal Housing Lender But wait - This is not what I see on my statement?? how is this correct?? I have been told " we post transactions in realtime as they are made '' by BBVA but this is not the case! I need this looked into. This is a very shady banking practice. When I called BBVA in regards to the two other fees yesterday ( XX/XX/XXXX ) I was hung up on once ( I was being very nice, I am a firm believer in " you dont bite the hand that feeds you '' ). and the other CSR after I called back told me " it is not our banks fault you cant manage money ''.
