Bank of America Overdraft Class Action Lawsuit Investigation
 American Banks reap huge profits in overdraft fees. In fact, 61 percent of bank profits from consumer checking accounts come from overdraft and insufficient funds fees, according to a June 2013 report by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
Consumer advocates have called for an outright ban on banks allowing customers to withdraw more money than they have available in their accounts, which costs the average consumer $225 per year in fees, according to the CFPB. These overdraft fees are big business for banks, however, which has led many of these banks to employ deceptive practices to maximize the number of overdraft fees they charge.

Starbucks ADA Class Action Lawsuit Moves Forward
By Anne Bucher
 On Friday, June 14, U.S. District Court Judge Dean D. Pregerson ruled that a class action lawsuit against Starbucks Corporation alleging violations of the Unruh Civil Rights Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) may proceed.
The class action lawsuit against Starbucks was originally filed on May 10, 2012, by plaintiffs who seek to force California Starbucks stores to lower the height of their pickup counters. The plaintiffs allege that the pickup counters are in violation of the ADA and pose safety risks to customers with disabilities because they exceed the height requirements listed in the ADA. According to the ADA Accessibility Guide, a service counter cannot require a customer to reach deeper than 20 inches or higher than 44 inches.

Public Storage Hit with Lawsuit Over Business Practices
By Jessica Tyner
 Most people are familiar with the orange and purple Public Storage facilities that have popped up around the country. You’ve probably even used one before, trusting that when you put stuff in storage, it’s safe. However, the security of storage items might not be nearly as iron-clad as people think. In Charlotte, North Carolina, a lawsuit has been filed against the company claiming that it puts customers and their property in danger.
Eyewitness News went undercover in Charlotte to see just how secure Public Storage was when they thought no one was looking. In Charlotte alone, there are 35 Public Storage sites, and Paul Trott was in charge of managing them for the past six years. However, he claims in a lawsuit against Public Storage that company-wide budget cuts have caused maintenance to completely stop. There apparently isn’t even enough money to replace burned-out lights, making customers lug around flashlights to access their unit after dark.
