Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low

Subissue: Bounced checks or returned payments

Consumer Complaint: On or around XXXX a purchase of XXXX money orders was made with cash purchased at FIFTH THIRD BANK XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX OH XXXX. Days later I was contacted by 2 different apartment complexes, & they both said the money orders were no good. So I went back to the bank and got XXXX new money orders and the same thing happened. I reached out to the branch 1st by phone I was informed that they were still investigating. On XXXX I return ( FIFTH THIRD BANK ) to the same branch and informed the manager of the issue I produced the ledgers from the complex stating that the money orders were returned and that I was charged late fees ( {$850.00} ). she ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX said she would further investigate. On XXXX I returned and requested further assistance and was told my only resolve was to contact XXXX number for customer service they could not help me, I returned to the branch to request a cashier 's check and she ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX REFUSED to issue a Cashier 's Check. I asked for a written statement of why she couldn't or wouldn't issue a cashier 's check or a refund and was told that my only option was to wait 180 days for them to investigate the issue. I asked for a higher-up 's number or email she refused to give me anything but the XXXX number that was a 3rd party who didn't even know the branch number. As a result of the unresolved issue, my company accumulated several unnecessary late fees due to an issue that could have easily been resolved. Due to the High level of uncooperative, and willful attitude, I had to visit XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX FIFTH THIRD BANK XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX OH XXXX, I was immediately issued a refund without question. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX had no clue about the unnecessary and strange protocol and said that those delays were not policies

Issue: Managing the loan or lease

Subissue: Billing problem

Consumer Complaint: Weve had an auto loan at XXXX ( not by choice ) for a year now. Of the XXXX payments, XXXX have been late totaling over {$200.00} in late fees. The reason Id like an investigation is the barriers the bank places on its non-customers. As a XXXX XXXX XXXX customer, I must log into XXXX website to initiate single payments. Under payments, this language outlines their policy : Payments made with external accounts are not eligible for recurring payments at this time. The letter I received in the mail offers Auto BillPayer and instructs me to call a toll-free number. In line with the inferior customer service weve already experienced, the Auto BillPayer is only open M-F, XXXX. Of course, its bankers hours. Finally, after getting connected with them, the tell me I must download a Word document, print it, complete it, and either MAIL or FAX, yes FAX it back to them. Its these incredible barriers that have me concerned. With a XXXX note, averaging XXXX late payments a year, thats potentially XXXX late fees at {$73.00}, or over {$1300.00} in fees in the term of the note. No wonder they want to put barriers like printing and faxing for non-customers its a tremendous profit. Its incredible in 2022 that XXXX answer is printing and faxing Word documents, but when you see the true reason, profits, its easy to see the motives.

Issue: Fees or interest

Subissue: Problem with fees

Consumer Complaint: I closed the Fifth Third credit card and sent in the final payment of {$36.00}. They would not let me pay online or over the phone, so I had to send in the regular mail per their instructions. They said it was not received on time and continue to charge me late fees and interest. There was a {$1.00} interest they charged that has turned into {$160.00}, and now {$200.00}!! It's almost impossible to get ahold of a live person on the phone and often disconnects. I called XXXX XXXX and he has not returned my calls.

Issue: Opening an account

Subissue: Unable to open an account

Consumer Complaint: I XXXX XXXX created an account online for a new checking account with Fifth Third Bank in XXXX Fl. I was told the day before I went to the branch to bring two picture IDs nothing was mentioned to about a social security card. I went to the location XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Fl XXXX. Phone number is XXXX. The worker that was assisting me was being rude about me mentioning the 3 ID check. I was simply telling her they said two picture ID. She said she had to call the fraud department so they could take the hold off my account and it was taking a while so I told her Id go sit in the lobby. After a while of hearing the manager call a customer about verifying their account with fraud department I decided to walk up to her to ask questions. She was so rude to me I had to ask her nicely to be quiet for a second. Because she wouldnt even let me finish what I was trying to say about the IDs and the waiting time. She brushed me off and told me to have a good day. As Im walking back to sit down I tell her that they dont deserve to be working here with the attitude they both had. She then threatens to kick me out with the police. I told her to call them and she came over to me standing up talking and I covered my ears and said Im not listening to you she asked me to get out and this was done in front of another customer. I told her I was sitting waiting for my account to be verified and Id leave she said no were not opening your account today. So so said ok no problem. I cursed her out on my way out the door she continued arguing with me a potential banker and a new customer at that. I was very angry because I had paid for a XXXX ride here and this location is not close to my home. I feel very discriminated against and am also seeking legal action. I will tell everyone I know not to bank here and she needs to be retrained on how to treat and speak to customers. I never raised my voice until she asked me to leave. Please do something about this behavior its not necessary to treat someone like that and I dont want to bank with them ever in my life.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account status incorrect

Consumer Complaint: To Whom It XXXX Concern, Fifth Third Bank is currently reporting to the XXXX major credit bureaus that my XX/XX/XXXX mortgage payment was paid 30 days late. I have attached a screenshot of my payment history which clearly indicates that actually XXXX payments were made in the month of XXXX. The first was XX/XX/XXXX for the XXXX payment, and XX/XX/XXXX for the XXXX payment. I have also attached a screenshot of Fifth Third 's reporting showing a XXXX late and " past due '' comments in XX/XX/XXXX. Since late payment reporting is for the previous month ( XX/XX/XXXX ), this is obviously an error. Because of these erroneous remarks, my credit scores were severely damaged.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem

Subissue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Consumer Complaint: I called the XXXX after I purchased a credit report with XXXX. After receiving a copy of my report, I saw this UNVERIFIABLE item on my personal profile, I noticed that there was a account on my credit report which are misleading to me. I sent a letter to the 3 credit bureaus XX/XX/XXXX. I believe they have failed to authenticate this account in line with Sections 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). I included this in my last complain and hoping that this 5/3 BANK NA XXXX Late payment XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, 30 days late will be updated.
