"I am a disabled veteran an don’t have the best ability to think." This issue esentially eliminates any credibility you would have in a "they told me that....." type of case. Additionally, 99% of banking institutions send various forms of monthy statememts on such accounts, so there was likely numerous opportunities for you to address this issue if there was a misunderstanding. You can also review your account documents as they will say in writing how charges are assessed or waived for certain balances. If you have issues maintaining your accounts due to thinking difficulties, you may want to consider having someone you trust appointed as guardian or at least assist you with such issues.
