PITTSBURGH

A Western Pennsylvania couple says First Commonwealth Bank illegally reneged when it terminated their individual retirement accounts and gave them their money back.

Fifty-five-year-old Patrick McGrogan and his wife, Barbara, of Unity Township, say they opened the accounts in 1983 and 1984. The couple say the bank promised at least 8 percent interest and that they didn't give the bank permission to dissolve the accounts until they could withdraw the money without penalty when they turn 59½ years old.

A bank spokeswoman refused to comment specifically on the lawsuit filed in Allegheny County. But she says the bank can end such offers at its discretion.
