Consumer Complaint: My account has never been late and due to an error with XXXX XXXX, my FIFTH THIRD BANK account was made to be delinquent when in fact it never was.

Consumer Complaint: I went to the Fifth Third branch in XXXX, Illinois on XX/XX/21 to deposit two money orders, one for {$270.00} and one for {$100.00}. I asked to deposit them both and get {$100.00} in cash. The teller informed me that because I had less than {$100.00} in my checking account ( my balance was ~ {$25.00} ), I would need to pay a {$5.00} fee in order to get {$100.00} in cash. I decided against paying the fee and deposited both money orders instead. This was surprising and rather nonsensical for the following reasons : -How does my payment of a {$5.00} fee make it any more likely that the deposited funds will clear? - Money orders are practically guaranteed available, unlike personal checks. - This fee seems specifically in place to target low balance accounts. -This is a high fee compared to the amount of cash I was trying to withdraw. 5 % of {$100.00} is a 5 % fee simply to access funds a day or two earlier. It would make sense to hold the funds according to the funds availability policy, if they are truly concerned that the funds ( although they were money orders ) would not clear. However, allowing depositors expedited availability at a fee, is more indicative of a short term loan, than a funds availability policy, since a {$5.00} fee does not make it any more or less likely that the funds will clear ( again, we're talking about money orders not personal checks ).

Consumer Complaint: I requested information on removing the PMI from my mortgage. A form was mailed to me describing the options to remove the PMI. One of those options was to have the house reappraised and if the new value of the home brings my XXXX below 80 % the PMI can be removed. I paid over {$500.00} to have the appraisal done. After the appraisal I received a letter that the request to remove PMI was denied because there was not " substantial upgrades '' done to the home. One of the stipulations was that if the loan is less than 2 years old there needs to be substantial upgrades. Before I agreed to have the house appraised I personally believed there were substantial upgrades and I listed them on the form. There was never a list describing exactly what substantial upgrades consisted of. So, even though the house appraised for a significantly higher value to bring the XXXX down below 80 %, the request was denied. I spent countless hours and spoke to countless people and explained to them that I didn't think it was fair because I didnt receive a list of what " substantial upgrades '' consisted of. If I had known what that list was I would never had agreed to spend money to have the house reappraised because I would basically be throwing money out of the window. This is what I really have a problem with ... After requesting all the signed forms I received two different forms from them. One is the form I signed requesting a reappraisal and nowhere does it state what substantial upgrades consisted of. An additional form was sent to me that mimics the one I signed but the only difference is it states exactly what substantial upgrades are. It looks to be a modified version of the one I signed. I feel that the company altered the document to reflect what substantial upgrades were and sent that to me. This form was not signed and I definitely did not receive it. I have a well kept file of all documents received from the bank. I have received customer service that is far below what I would have expected. I have spent hours on hold and spoken to multiple different associates who all seem to not have a grasp on exactly what is going on here. I feel that this company has taken advantage of me during a time that large companies should be looking for any way possible to help out a fellow citizen. This company has not budged at all or offered any resolution to my concern. I have been an outstanding customer and have made all of my payments in a timely manner.

Consumer Complaint: I purchased a XXXX Can Am XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX ending in XXXX in XXXX with MB Financial as lien holder. Bike was paid off in XX/XX/XXXX. 5/3rd bank now holds the title as they acquired the loan from MB Financial when they bought MB Financial in XXXX. I learned in early XXXX that the bike was still listed in Florida vehicle title records as having MB Financial as the lien holder, which was why I assumed I had not received the title. I called 5/3rd 's XXXX XXXX XXXX MI office XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, spoke to " XXXX '' XXXX who connected me to his manager, " XXXX '' and on a later call, after contacting my local DMV to learn FL had not received the title, I spoke to XXXX. XXXX and XXXX both told me the title had already been sent to FL but neither gave me the date that occurred. XXXX stated she would have it sent again and a letter sent to me stating the vehicle was paid off that I could take to the DMV to get the title transferred to me. I told her the state of FL said a transfer of title from MB to 5/3rd was needed, and XXXX stated that info would be in the letter to the state. As of today ( XXXX XXXX ) I have yet to receive the title or said letter XXXX spoke of, and bike is STILL listed in Florida title records as having MB Financial as lien holder. I have contacted the State Attorney General of both FL and MI and both responded with filing a claim with CFPB to get assistance in this matter.

Consumer Complaint: During the 2nd week of XX/XX/2021 I stopped by the 5/3rd Bank in XXXX NC to close my checking account that I have not used for more than a year. The teller gave me cash money and told me she could not give me anything to state I closed my account. Odd to me not to get something stating I closed my account. In early XXXX I received a Overdraft Notification : Immediate Action Required letter Dated XX/XX/2021 from said Bank. On XX/XX/2021 I called the number provided and was on hold for a period of time till I could talk to someone. The girl I talked to ( XXXX? ) about the overdraft fee that couldn't be since I have not used the account for over a year and just closed the account, said she would take the {$11.00} fee off and close the account that was already closed?? I asked her to send me something stating my account is closed, she said she can't do that?? About a week latter I receive another Overdraft Notification : Immediate Action Required letter Dated XX/XX/2021. Time to file a complaint.

Consumer Complaint: I made a deposit with a money order XX/XX/21 into my checking account. I was told that the funds would be available for me to use within one or two business days. I waited XXXX days to use my card with that account and Lord be holds my purchase was declined XX/XX/21. I went inside the bank on XX/XX/21 to sit with a teller to ask questions. I was told that some code, that I am still not sure why was placed on that deposit and I had to now wait XXXX days and that it will be placed on hold before funds are released. I asked the teller to see if there was a reason to this and what I had to do if there was anything required for me to do. What I received was still no one being able to provide to me the reason to why other than to wait XXXX days or who I can communicate with via email or phone. I also informed the teller that I been having issue with my online portal password locking me out when I normally do not use or access the account using any app or online login. I normally go into the bank personally to do business. I also notified them that my pin to my atm card was not allowing me to use the card to run transactions. I went back into the bank talked to a teller in the office and I had the worst customer service experience that no one should have to every endure. I waited contacted the customer service department XXXX phone number spoke with someone who asked me to speak with a different banker to see if they could be of any assistance. Which I did as instructed. I waited for the customer service lady to assist me while I was waiting in the common area to prepare to fill out a withdrawal sip while holding a child in my arm. I was then approached by a police officer. I didn't even have enough time between all of this to properly complete all of my transaction I wanted to do for that day. I was told to leave even though I had other funds to deposit into that account. I still do not understand what the issue is all of this has happened I had to go to another banking company and make another deposit using a different money order in the same amount and I didn't have any issue with that bank at all.
