TD Bank on Thursday agreed to pay $97 million in restitution to approximately 1.42 million customers, as well as a $25 million civil penalty to settle allegations brought by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau that it engaged in illegal overdraft fee practices.
According to the consent order entered Thursday, TD Bank didn’t do that. Instead, the CFPB claims that from January 2014 through December 2018, TD charged consumers overdraft fees for ATM and debit card transactions without first getting their approval to enroll them into the program.

To deal with the paperwork involved with securitized trusts, many banks set up a process that came to be called robo-signing - high-volume approval of mortgage transfer documents by employees who didn't review details and missed troubled mortgages. Homeowners have had little success in court with arguments that robo-signing made loans unenforceable through foreclosure.
Hughes argued that when Wells Fargo retroactively attached the Wolfs' mortgage to a securitized trust that was closed and sold to investors three years earlier, the bank violated a Texas law that prohibits fraudulent real estate filings.
Here are five rules to know. 1. Taxes depend on the “origin of the claim.”. Taxes are based on the origin of your claim. If you get laid off at work and sue seeking wages, you’ll be taxed as wages, and probably some pay on a Form 1099 for emotional distress.
The same occurs with interest. You might receive a tax-free settlement or judgment, but pre-judgment or post-judgment interest is always taxable (and can produce attorney fee problems). That can make it attractive to settle your case rather than have it go to judgment.
Tax advice early, before the case settles and the settlement agreement is signed, is essential. 5. Punitive damages and interest are always taxable. If you are injured in a car crash and get $50,000 in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages, the former is tax-free.
If you sue for intentional infliction of emotional distress, your recovery is taxed. Physical symptoms of emotional distress (like headaches and stomachaches) is taxed, but physical injuries or sickness is not. The rules can make some tax cases chicken or egg, with many judgment calls.
