If you held one or more National Penn deposit accounts and who were assessed an overdraft fee that did not actually overdraw the account, you may be eligible for a potential award from the National Penn Overdraft Class Action Lawsuit! According to the lawsuit, National Penn charged overdraft fees on debit transactions that actually did not overdraw the account. The bank allegedly assessed these fees based on the account’s available balance instead of the ledger balance. The ledger balance tends to be higher and would not result in as many overdraft fees. National Penn continues to deny allegations and maintains that there is nothing wrong with their overdraft fee policy but has agreed to settle the class action lawsuit in order to avoid the expense of ongoing litigation. If you’re eligible, submit a claim form by November 7, 2017!
