Consumer Complaint: my vehicle loan opened in XXXX XXXX. I have had insurance since I purchased the unit. Fifth third bank took it upon themselves to add insurance to my account anyway. Causing my monthly payment to almost double. They never contacted me prior to doing that. I contacted them XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, when i went online to make a payment and saw the amount due. The rep was able to contact XXXX and verify insurance and was supposed to refund the insurance. Today is XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, and my account still is not correct. I should be current and next payment due XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. I have attempted to contact them to resolve, but keep getting transferred around.

Consumer Complaint: I bought a fixer upper and was convinced to use a XXXX Loan program by telling me false claims of the programs ability and features. The Mortgage officer lead me to believe I had to use a contractor off a supplied list and this gave the bank a special relationship to work with them concerning schedules, deadlines and any disputes, these were all lies. Now that I 'm XXXX years in to a project I was lead to believe would be 6 months or penalties would be assessed I have a unlivable home in need of XXXX in structural repairs to the new construction that was done incorrectly and another XXXX in new damages. The bank said good luck with that and they are n't going to help and they do n't have any resolutions and mitigation abilities as I was told.

Consumer Complaint: Fifth Third bank but a hold on funds on my account for two weeks without informing me. IN the terms and condition it does say your funds are subject to a POSSIBLE hold of up to 10 days. I would think that the bank would be courteous enough to inform you if this hold is occurring on your account or not. They are not. They let me attempt to use the card and be forced to contact them to find out what was going on when the account did not work. I was given XXXX answers of why I got a hold by Fifth Third. 1 was that I was a new account and they had to verify the funds and the bank was the only ones who could do it. The second was that the account was overdrawn and that because the I made the deposit through the ATM that the atm automatically held it for XXXX days. The third was that since I deposit the check yesterday but it was dated for today they held it to make sure the funds would post. I left with complete confusion as to why my account was placed on hold. I still did not receive a answer and the staff in the mean time were extremely rude to me. I was hung up on twice and when I specifically requested a letter stating that their decision is preventing me from being able to pay creditors I have and they denied the request. My issues is not the policy my issue is the Bank not informing you when your account it put on hold and when asking not getting one clear answer.

Issue: Using a debit or ATM card
Subissue:
Consumer Complaint: On XXXX XXXX, XXXX I received a letter from Fifth Third Bank ( 5/3 ) stating ''a merchant security breach that may have compromise your debit card '' a new card is being issued, activate immediately & destroy old card. I activated the new card on/around XXXX XXXX, XXXX & destroyed the old card. I made a purchase WITH the new card on XXXX XXXX. On XXXX XXXX, XXXX I received a text ( & email ) regarding 'suspicious activity ' at XXXX Central Time. I responded & spoke with FRAUD department. XXXX fraudulent transactions are pending. XXXX transaction on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX & XXXX transactions on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. Through further investigation I have been told that there are XXXX open cards on this account. I have NEVER requested MORE than ONE active card on this account! I requested a replacement card & to block all transactions on the card I believed to be compromised after 'suspicious activity ' ( XXXX XXXX? ) that I had seen on the account & have letterhead from the 5/3 ( came with the card used in the fraud ) stating " For your protection your current card will be deactivated upon activating your new card ''. I have been informed by 5/3 a 'supervisor ', CS XXXX XXXX , & Fraud XXXX ' that I am responsible for deactivating EACH card EVER issued to me. The 5/3 'supervisor ' stated the card 5/3 was notifying me about ( XXXX/XXXX/XXXX ) was a different card than the XXXX that was used for TODAY 'S FRAUD. I do NOT understand how MULTIPLE CARDS can remain ACTIVE when I applied for & have maintained, in good faith & standing XXXX CARD on XXXX debit/checking ACCOUNT! I immediately requested ALL open cards ( save the JUST activated ) be CLOSED. I have been told this has been done by the 'supervisor. ' I believe 5/3 CREATED this BREACH by permitting multiple cards to be active WITHOUT my explicit consent to have MULTIPLE cards ACTIVE on my SOLELY OWNED/PRIVATE account. I was engaged in a TRUST between me & Fifth Third Bank that 5/3 would manage my banking transactions. Having multiple cards ACTIVE without my written consent is a BREACH of my TRUST in their ability to professionally manage my transactions. This has created a HUGE problem for me by tying up funds that I had PLANS to use on XXXX XXXX as it will take UP TO XXXX -7 Business days for the fraud transactions to be assessed. Had ALL other cards been deactivated as the paperwork that came with the card used in the fraud stated ( old card will be deactivated ) - the previous letter of concern would have been unnecessary & the current fraud claims would never have occurred. Those charges would have immediately been declined on a 'dead ' card. This has, additionally, dropped my account BELOW minimum balance requirements which may result in BANK FEES that could be assessed against my account. Thus marring my 'in good standing ' with my account.

Consumer Complaint: The second mortgage held by Fifth Third Bank was discharged in bankruptcy in XX/XX/XXXX, and was not reaffirmed. We have no personal liability for the debt. We have been unable to make payments toward the debt from XX/XX/XXXX through the present. Our home appraises with negative equity, it 's " upside down. '' We have recently had the opportunity to borrow a small amount of money from family and friends to attempt to release the lien on the property. We have offered a lump sum payment to Fifth Third Bank on XXXX XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX XXXX, XXXX, as well as several times in XX/XX/XXXX, including today, XXXX XXXX, XXXX. Fifth Third Bank has been belligerent to us repeatedly regarding the same, and has refused to negotiate with us in good faith. They have stated that they want the full unpaid principal balance paid. We have provided documentation to show financial hardship and a willingness to pay to release the lien, and they refuse to cooperate.

Consumer Complaint: My account was closed after a check for {$100.00} did not clear. It was not presented a second time. When an attempt was made to take care of the overdraft using a second account ( business account ) at the same bank, I was informed they were closed. I had also received a letter from the bank telling me to not do anything further on the accounts. At which time I did not. On XXXX/XXXX/13 Fifth Third bank recklessly reported " suspected fraud '' but gave me no indication this would be taking place. I was previously working with the rep " XXXX '' in their fraud department who asked for a copy of the letter stating not to take any actions on the accounts in question. This document was supplied and I have had no contact with Fifth Third or it 's representitives since then and the remark is still listed.
