Issue: Closing your account
Subissue: Can't close your account
Consumer Complaint: I had a personal secured credit card with Fifth Third Bank. After they ruined my business account by charging {$40.00} for a cashier 's check two weeks after I received it and multiple overdrafts that this caused. They refunded the {$40.00} back for the cashier 's check a year later and apologized but did not resolved the multitude of charges that this caused. I asked to have all my accounts closed. The secured account had a balance equal to the secured amount of {$300.00}. Fifth third then took that {$300.00} and then charged over {$300.00} in fees. I have asked for this to be resolved multiple times, I'm transferred multiple times each time I call and no one seems able to handle this issue. I've sent letters and it is not resolved either.

Issue: Written notification about debt
Subissue: Didn't receive notice of right to dispute
Consumer Complaint: XXXX = XXXX XXXX XXXX I received a letter in XX/XX/XXXX that the debt collector XXXX XXXX XXXX, that has bought a debt from Fifth Third Bank, closed my debt account after they did not adhere to the FCRA debt validation process. {$290.00} was taken out of bank account by Fifth Third Bank without any written notification or phone calls. I previously verified the debt was owned by XXXX XXXX XXXX by mail. I did not receive any documentation by Fifth Third about the debt. My local Fifth Third branch banker sent me to someone else who I spoke to at XXXX today at the XXXX XXXX location in XXXX, OH. She said that I was scammed and didnt know what I was talking about. She refused to talk to the collections department she called about my concerns specifically reviewing the paperwork I brought from XXXX verifying the account was closed. She would not look at it and advised me to just pay the money today. She gave me a non-working number for the collections department. She also said there was no one I could dispute the debt with. I attempted to called her office number and it was as for someone else. Im attaching all the paperwork. I need the money back because I have already settled the debt with XXXX. Based on the FCRA laws and how I only received documentation about this debt. Fifth Third Bank sold the debt to XXXX without notifying me. When XXXX notified me of my account with their debt collection being closed, I was informed in writing that they were no longer pursuing the debt. Documentation is attached. Fifth Third Bank would have had to repurchase the debt. Fifth Thirds banker merely stated that the debt was charged of to collections in XX/XX/XXXX. She did not provide any paperwork. I received the documentation from XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX. I need for Fifth Third Bank to explain when the debt for {$450.00} to their bank was repurchased by their bank. XXXX needs to provide the original validated documentation. I have done my part and yet Im still be held responsible for a debt I am not obligated to pay.

Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage
Subissue:
Consumer Complaint: Complaint We applied for prequalification of a house mortgage loan in XX/XX/2021 with Fifth Third Bank and got an approval. We get services at the branch located at XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, KY XXXX on XX/XX/2021, we submitted the application for the house mortgage loan ( loan app # ) and received denial based on a technical error on XXXX XXXX. We contacted the bank soon afterwards about the error and the bank acknowledged that this was a mistake that should be corrected, and we should be able to fulfill the criteria to receive a house mortgage loan before the closing which was scheduled on XX/XX/2021. The bank officials involved in the loan processing endlessly and needlessly prolonged the process despite prompt submission of documentation and evidence from third parties and us about the error beyond the scheduled date of closing. During this period spanning almost 2 months, the banks officials repeatedly gave us false reassurances that the application will be approved leaving us no time to apply to other lenders. Subsequently, we were informed on XX/XX/XXXX via phone text informally that the loan is approved which was after the scheduled closing date. This left the parties no time to complete the transaction and sellers and buyers had to terminate the purchasing contract as there was no time to get the loan application processed by another lender. We are concerned that this episode not only reflects incompetence and negligence on the part of the officials involved but at the same time may indicate a deeper problem of discrimination based on our XXXX and national origin despite fulfilling all the criteria to qualify for mortgage loan approval. This has created an emergency housing situation for our family. We have been a customer of 53 bank for more than 10 years and have large sums in our account, with high income to debt ratio and excellent credit scores but have been treated by your institution in the worst possible way.

On XX/XX/2021, I requested that XXXX from The Ohio Attorney General Collection Enforcement send an email to them requesting release of my funds. He confirmed the email and in addition mailed the release to them at that time. To date I have had no response and my funds have still not been released.
