Issue: Managing the loan or lease

Subissue: Billing problem

Consumer Complaint: Every day for the last two weeks Fifth Third bank calls from number XXXX between XXXX. They never leave messages and often do not respond back when I answer " Hello '' When I finally spoke with the caller one day last week, they requested personal information from me including my DOB and last four of my SSN. When I asked them why they needed it, they said it was for verification of contact information for an auto loan which my wife and I have for her car. They said alternatively I could give this information at one of their branches. I said " fine, I don't give that information out over the phone, especially for the stupid reason which they stated. '' They already have all of the required information from us. We are current on this loan, have never missed a payment and have an excellent credit rating. These calls need to stop.

Issue: Problem with a lender or other company charging your account

Subissue: Can't stop withdrawals from your account

Consumer Complaint: My company XXXX XXXX XXXX has a checking account with the Fifth Third Bank. On XXXX XX/XX/20 at XXXX XXXX I sent them an email telling there were some fraudulent transactions with XXXX XXXX from people I don't know and asked them what I should do. They told me that I had to go to the Bank to close the account, but it could not be done immediately because these fraudulent transactions were in pending. On XX/XX/XXXX I went to Fifth Third Bank at XXXX XXXX to close my checking account, and the hackers had gotten more money from my checking account on the early morning on XX/XX/XXXX. For the protection of all its clients, the bank has to place these fraudulent transactions in hold as well as the part that corresponds to my debit card. An employee of the bank called the Fifth Third to the Dispute Center to report my situation, and the money still was pending on my account and they should have put in on hold while the investigation was on going. The bank had total control at that time to help me, but They didn't. That day the Dispute Center opened up 2 cases # s : XXXX XXXX XXXX and # XXXX XXXX XXXX. A hacker with the fictitious name " XXXX XXXX '' carried out 57 fraudulent transactions on the same early morning of XX/XX/XXXX, with 2 different amounts. Some of {$59.00} and others of $ XXXX.From the same hacker, the bank recovered {$1.00}, but the bank rejected 16 of the transactions for {$980.00}, and They did not give me any kind of explanation. I received a letter on XX/XX/XXXX in which the Fifth Third Bank required me to deposit the value of {$920.00} to cover the amount that the bank did not recover. From the first case, {$260.00} were recovered, but from the second case, I lost the amount of {$980.00}.

Issue: Managing an account

Subissue: Funds not handled or disbursed as instructed

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX mail was stolen out of our mailbox. Within minutes Of it happening I called my bank fifth third to let them know that my mail was stolen and to flag my account for any suspicious activity. There was a check payment to XXXX XXXX in there for {$88.00} and I gave the check number and around the time it happened. Later that evening I was checking my account on my mobile app only to see a check that was bleached out XXXX XXXX XXXX check ) and made out to a person by the name of XXXX XXXX XXXX. Since it was after XXXX I couldnt reach my bank until the next day. I went in to file a fraud report ... ..which was done incorrectly and didnt even find that out until I called them to check on the case. So I had to go back to 5/3 and have another fraud report written up and so my case wasnt even looked at until XX/XX/XXXX. I have also filed reports with the XXXX police dept and the United States postal service and the comptroller of currency ... .all of which have failed me. They basically say that because the check was cashed by XXXX its really out of their hands and that they have 180 days to put the money back into my account. My latest contact has been with XXXX XXXX from the comptroller of currency who basically said that there is nothing they can do. He is my contact now as that as what I was advised to do by him. I feel like my money was not protected by a bank that is supposed to be FDIC. I feel like my funds should have been reimbursed during this process for multiple reasons but mainly because I gave them all the information that they needed to know and they still didnt protect my money. Its a scary thought to know that I bank with a bank that doesnt protect me or my funds. I am running out of people to help me.

Issue: Problem with a lender or other company charging your account

Subissue: Transaction was not authorized

Consumer Complaint: Hello, After several failed attempts to contact and or resolve several disputed amounts on my company issued debit card I have had no luck resolving with the XXXX XXXX. Someone made several fraudulent purchases with my debit card amounting to XXXX from dates XXXX. I picked up a second job during the covid pandemic to support my family as I lost my job when the pandemic happened and these fraudulent purchases went unnoticed until i went to pay my mortgage the following month. XXXX has refunded me {$100.00} out of the total requested and after asking several times for communication and more insight I have received nothing. I submitted the dispute on XX/XX/2020, blocked the old card and received a new XXXX. I was hoping to receive some help or guidance on how to handle this as I can't get anywhere with them. Thank you for reading.
