Yes, you can sue a bank in small claims court for disputes involving amounts under a certain limit (varies by jurisdiction).

Can you get overdraft fees refunded?
Overdraft fees can be refunded by calling the bank and asking them who accepts legal paperwork on behalf of the bank, because you intend to take them to small claims court and get your money back.The bank will usually refund the overdraft fees within a few days because it would cost them more to defend themselves in court than it would be to refund your fees.
How soon after losing a case in small claims court can a creditor freeze your bank account?
A definite answer is not possible as there are many variables. The judgment creditor must locate the bank account, file the appropriate forms with the court clerk and have the judgment validated as a bank account levy. This could be done in a few days or weeks depending upon the amount of cases being handled by the court and when the judgment creditor decides to execute the writ. Several states will not allow the levying of a bank account for a small claims judgment if the bank account is jointly held. This is especially true when it pertains to a married couple and the judgment is against only one spouse. Information concerning bank accounts and/or other financial matters should never be given out if the consumer is not the one who initiates the action.

What is one matter that the village court of the middle ages might have considered?
The Village Court would oversee matters that would today be considered in a small claims court. This involves cases of theft, failure to pay off a loan, slander, and other such claims. Higher level civil law, such as customs work or bank fraud, would be tried at higher level courts in the capital city as would criminal law.
Are small claims judgments reported on your credit report?
As far as I know, yes. If small claims court decides you owe and your creditor forwards this to the credit bureaus it will be posted on your credit report. As a solicitor, yes they are. All judgments whether in the small claims court or higher court are recorded on your credit file. I have used this fact to good effect a couple of times with non-paying buyers on Ebay. Even though it would probably cost me more than some of the items are worth, the very fact that someone could have their credit record blemished is often enough to stump the buyer into coughing up. Of course, the court may find in their favour, but it might not which is a risk a lot of people don't want to take, especially if it means that they might not get a mortgage, or a bank account or a bank loan because of it.
