I had this happen to me once while living in Japan. The account I had that had no fees started charging them while I was in Japan and by the time I got home to see they had taken over $150 out of the account without me ever knowing.
I was able to get them waived this way, but not sure if it will work in your case. May be worth a try of you have some extra money around. I said the reason that I had looked at the account again was I was planning to place more money in their bank. If they think you will be a good long time customer, they have a reason to waive the fee. If they know all you want to do is close the account, they have no reason to help you out.
If you explain you are willing to open a $xx CD for 6 months if they waive the fee, they may be much more willing to do so. You can complain and go higher pleading your case which may or may not be effective.
