In addition Comerica has taken another {$13.00} from my checking account without my authorization and despite providing all necessary information to the company needed for a " free checking account '' ( an account with no fees ). Totaling over {$78.00} this year alone.

Consumer Complaint: A few {$1.00} and {$2.00} " Service Charges '' appeared on my business checking account. They are not itemized or described on the statement. When I called and asked the bank manager about them initially XX/XX/XXXX, she said they were fees for international transactions. Today when I called to ask about these continuing charges ( among other things ), the current manager gave a similar explanation, saying the fee is for " international ACH transactions. '' This does not make sense because XXXX, the medium through which I was making the cited payments, is a domestic business, and any ACH transfer involved should be domestic, regardless of where the money ends up. I pressed the manager at my branch about this, but she insisted it was for international transactions, and by the end of the call she was insisting it was a " fee from XXXX, '' which makes even less sense because XXXX has not been involved with any of these transactions. I confirmed with XXXX support that these transactions are not international in nature and so should not be incurring " international '' service charges from my bank. I think Comerica is charging an unnecessary and unjustified fee without proper explanation.

Consumer Complaint: The TN Human Services department has all child support payments going to the XXXX debit card issued by Coamerica Bank and Elite. The card is also referred to as an XXXX. Each time you dial the customer service number on the back of the card, no one picks up ( Tried 5 times now and longest wait time so far is 1 hour, 15 minutes ) and a fee of {$.00} cents is deducted from the child support balance. Summed up, no one answers the phone, online access does n't actually allow you into the account and the app does not work. It keeps you in a perpetual loop of asking validation questions, without actually validating your personal info to gain access into your account. This is a rip-off. Once you dial in with your personal card info or social, it automatically deducts money from your account without providing an actual service. I 'd like to simply have my money direct deposited into my checking account versus this rip-off debit card w/ NO customer service at all.
