Issue: Problem with a lender or other company charging your account

Subissue: Money was taken from your account on the wrong day or for the wrong amount

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/2021, XXXX XXXX from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX sent me a link to an invoice ( see email correspondence attached ). The link she sent was the wrong invoice, and was in fact a link to an unpaid invoice for a different customer. Not seeing the error, I paid the invoice on XX/XX/XXXX using the link she provided. I immediately contacted her via email and let her know about the error ( see email correspondence ). I immediately contacted Citizens Bank via phone and let them know about the error. Citizens bank told me via phone that there was nothing I could do until the payment cleared, then I could dispute the charge. I waiting until the payment cleared, then immediately contacted Citizens Bank and filed a dispute for the charge. Citizens Bank did not provide me a claim number. After not hearing anything from Citizens Bank or XXXX for a couple weeks, I contacted Citizens Bank to check on the status of my claim. I was told that they could not find any record of my claim, but I could enter a new claim now, which I did. The claim number for this second claim is XXXX. Today ( XX/XX/XXXX ) I received a letter from Citizens Bank telling me my claim was denied because I waited too long to dispute the charge, even though I first contacted Citizens Bank before the charge even cleared, and again immediately after the charge cleared.

Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low

Subissue: Overdrafts and overdraft fees

Consumer Complaint: Around the time of the stimulus checks my XXXX XXXX XXXX daughter wanted a puppy and she was looking around and came across many different post of people selling puppies and some were obvious they were scams. But this woman in particular provided everything I asked for including the vet clinic and phone number which I verified and it was legit and I called and they confirmed the puppy being seen there for vaccines. She provided a video saying my daughters name with the puppy. I told her I would feel comfortable if made a partial payment through my bank for my safety and she accepted and told me she would give me her XXXX information. I would make the partial payment only when I received flight information and she provided me with her name which was XXXX XXXX but people called her XXXX and her husband name was XXXX XXXX which I was sending the partial payment was to her husband. She also suggested XXXX Pay her son XXXX XXXX and provided me with her sons phone number which is XXXX. Her phone number is XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX. She sent me this XXXX Along with tracking XXXX XXXX XXXX ... I never received the dog just this email, Dear client, We have a puppy available in our custody for transportation to you. However, our terms or service require animals to be transported in the most comfortable conditions possible in order to be up to standard. You are hereby required to get a medium sized electric air conditioned crate and a vaccine for your pet to be transported in. As for the electric crate, two ways are available to attain an electric air conditioned crate. Either by renting or by purchasing. To rent a crate, you will have to pay the sum of {$590.00}. 98 % of this money will be given back to you when the pet arrives and the crate is taken back. To purchase a crate, you will have to pay the sum of {$590.00}. Upon delivery, the pet is given to you alongside the crate as your property. You are to respond with your choice ( renting or purchasing ) and your preferred method of payment Thanks for understanding ... I called her and she acted surprised. She blocked my daughter and myself from XXXX where the post was originally. The police couldn't help nor the bank helped me get my money back. I am a XXXX mother of XXXX and ever since this situation occurred I was forced to close my bank accounts and open new accounts if not I wouldn't have access to online banking and because of this I've been having overdraft fees like crazy on 2 of my accounts because a bank representative attached my debit cards to the wrong accounts and both my accounts are negative. My son also has had negative fees because I had 5 accounts in total but 2 of them belonged that my adult son and now adult daughter, which her student account is still opened because she wasn't available to go into the branch with me, only my son. She didn't agree on her account closing but I was told by the branch she had to come into the bank to close it but she refuses and it's still open. I wasn't able to close my XXXX account due to the office of Childsuport office being closed to the public and there's many things that I can't do over the internet and that's only when my son comes and helps me. Afterwards my claim was denied so there was really no point on closing my accounts. I really wish I can reopen my XXXX account due to the child tax credit and I have no way of providing my new accounts to the irs because lack of internet knowledge. Two accounts are currently negative and I still have payments pending and ever since the new accounts I am being charged a service fee I wasn't paying on my old accounts. I hope someone can help me with this situation.

Issue: Managing an account

Subissue: Deposits and withdrawals

Consumer Complaint: I received a income tax refund on XX/XX/2021 into my checking account at citizens bank which was charged off on XX/XX/2021. Instead of them sending the check back they are holding on to my check for 15 days and are going to send me a check after. I am extremely upset by this due to the fact that I already had to wait 3 months to receive my tax refund because the irs was behind and now that they have finally sent it I have to wait almost another month to pay my past due bills that Im drowning in. I wouldnt receive my money until the last week of XXXX.
