Consumer Complaint: Someone hacked my fifth third credit card through XXXX as I had my card attached to that account for purchases.

As soon as I saw the charge, I called fifth third Bank cancel the credit card, and speed the charges. I just received a statement from fifth third bank that states that I am responsible for the charge and they have now charged my credit card back with the purchase amount. I did not make the purchase or the charge. The credit card information that I am submitting is the old credit card that has been discontinued. Fifth third bank charged my replacement card, which information is not included on this form, with the charges from XXXX

Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low

Subissue: Overdrafts and overdraft fees

Consumer Complaint: This is an issue that I have with 5/3 bank, I have an open checking account with them and did not enrolled in overdraft protection, and for a transaction of {$30.00} that went through my checking, now they are charging me {$170.00} for overdraft protection. To enrolle on overdraft protection, I should have saving account or credit card account to protect the overdraft protection, the payment of {$30.00} must be rejected because I don't have money to spend on the account, the bank is doing that to charge the customer unfairly.

Issue: Managing an account

Subissue: Deposits and withdrawals

Consumer Complaint: Both my wife and I bank with Fifth Third Bank. Our sirect deposits were supposed to land in the accounts this morning. They have not. We are in a time crunch, as we have not paid all of this month 's bills this month. If we can not access our pay, we will face the foreclosure of our home, the diminishment of our credit, and the inability to cover crucial bills like heat, water, and food, and will need to drop out of civilization. Please have them address our receipt of pay immediately.

Issue: Managing an account

Subissue: Deposits and withdrawals

Consumer Complaint: I opened a checking and a money market account ( MMA ) with Fifth Third Bank online on XX/XX/2023 and set up a link of these accounts with an account my XXXX and I have at XXXX XXXX. After the link was confirmed, I initiated within my login at Fifth Third two ACH transfers from XXXX, one for {$10.00} into the checking account at Fifth Third and another for {$25000.00} into the XXXX at Fifth Third. The {$10.00} deposit was processed successfully on XX/XX/XXXX and there is no issue with it. However, Fifth Third never deposited the XXXX XXXX transfer into my XXXX at Firth Third, even though they had debited the amount from our XXXX account on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. Furthermore, they locked my accounts such that I could not login to access my accounts. Subsequently, Fifth Third sent a letter to me threatening to close my accounts and report to credit bureaus such that other institutions may not do business with me in the future. I called Fifth Third and went to their local branch twice and spoke with the assistant branch manager. They kept telling me to ask XXXX XXXX to file a claim to get my money back, even after I had both the 53rd manager and a manger at XXXX speak to each other on the phone directly. The fault is 100 % Fifth Third 's because they had my funds and there was absolutely no reason for them not to deposit my funds into my account. However as of today ( XX/XX/2023 ), the issue persist.

Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low

Subissue: Overdrafts and overdraft fees

Consumer Complaint: Called into fifth third bank to discuss my overdraft fees and deposits the nasty lady transferred me to a different department in the middle of me talking. They have been charging me excessive overdraft fees even when the overdraft is due to disputes and incorrect charges and fifth third has told me regardless of why an overdraft fee is accessed they would not reverse any fees past XXXX dollars. They lady transferred me to the wrong department in the middle of me talking and asking a question. Trying to use their chat support people the agents just send templates and they end the chats without even speaking to me. They are continuing to charge me excessive overdraft fees and refusing to resolve the matters Im so sick of XXXX customer service with this bank at this point I have a Lawsuit filed against a company branch manager XXXX XXXX at the XXXX XXXX XXXX Illinois location referred me to and I named him in that complaint I will now be taking full steps to add fifth third bank as a third party to that lawsuit this is ridiculous. Nasty XXXX customer service and excessive fees.

Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low

Subissue: Overdrafts and overdraft fees

Consumer Complaint: Since beginning of XX/XX/2023 till today, the bank has been charging me overdrafts fees of over {$2500.00} despite the fact that I have overdraft protection set up on my account. I reached out to the local branch and the mangers to help resolve these issues and unfortunately, they didnt return my calls and when I visited the bank in person, they couldnt give me any explanation or take any responsibility. As result of the lack of communication and support to my account, and the excessive fees, my account is overdrawn and I lost over {$2500.00} of unjustified fees. I had the funds available in my credit cards and my line of credit, but the staff failed to connect either as overdraft protection as I requested several times Secondly, my incoming deposits were delayed by the bank and were not cleared till I had so many overdraft fees which caused less funds available in my account. I was also blocked on the app from making any checks deposit and had no access to make any deposits. I made several phone calls and visits to my local branch, requested help but sadly they failed to call back, or provide solutions on time, or resolve these issues or even show any kind of caring. Additionally, this was not the first time this had happened, earlier this year, my account was mistakenly by the bank overdrawn by over {$19000.00}, which also created issues on my account and it took the local staff weeks to take responsibility and resolve it. I finally contacted the office of the president and sent a formal complaint in writing, my complained was ignored and i never receive any response, I even called couple of times, no one return my calls. Finally I called on XXXX XXXX, XXXX and the person answered the phone give no answer or solutions to my complain.
