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

Subissue: Can't stop withdrawals from your account

Consumer Complaint: Bank account opened in person at branch in XXXX, FL in XXXX. I ( along with my attorney ) requested that no overdraft service is received because if funds are unavailable, I prefer insufficient funds notifications. From XXXX XX/XX/XXXX, I never received overdraft charges because transactions would be rejected as " insufficient funds '' and I would receive a notification. That is correct because that is my way of transaction verification and validation against fraud XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XX/XX/XXXX ; I was travelling for medical reasons and my card is used for XXXX and other miscellaneous items while travelling. When I returned home, I realized my account was overdrawn by over {$700.00} to include charges and fees, and I never received any insufficient funds notifications. Over half of the overdrawn amount was due to the {$37.00} fees charged for each transaction. I contacted the bank, they stated it was " my fault '' for not keeping a ledger. I explained that I do not have overdraft protection, however they still stated the overdrafts were my fault and refuse to acknowledgement they arbitrarily assigned this product to my accunt without my consent because this services requires a customer signature and I never signed anything for this. I requested again to remove and disallow overdraft service. A week later, on XX/XX/XXXX, someone used my card and charged {$39.00} to this account and it was overdrawn a second time for the same period. I again called the bank, and I ordered a new card, but then was told I had to pay {$30.00} service fee for deliver. Mon. XX/XX/XXXX- Set phone appointments at the bank, they refused to contact me ; I then contacted the branch where the account was created, unable to get anyone to speak to me. Then spoke to a XXXX at XXXX XXXX who told me again, my failt and the bank does not keep ledgers for customers.

Issue: False statements or representation

Subissue: Attempted to collect wrong amount

Consumer Complaint: In XX/XX/XXXX my husband and I signed a contract with some XXXX XXXX to have XXXX solar panels installed for our single family home. The home is occupied by myself and my husband. We have no children and no other persons living in the household. We were told initially that our electricity bill would take one to two months to adjust as our solar panels consume and store energy. However, in XXXX when we realize that it had not happened we reached out to XXXX XXXX XXXX. At this time, it is XXXX of XXXX and we were told that XXXX XXXX was no longer in business and that XXXX XXXX has since taken over. We had never agreed to switch companies or signed any paperwork with XXXX XXXX. As time went along, from the time span of XX/XX/XXXX until currently at this very moment we have had problem after problem in different aspects of this service. We were first told that some of our solar panels were not properly connected, then we were told that they were not reporting. After several months, a modem was added in XX/XX/XXXX so that the solar company could better diagnose issues regarding our solar panels and also monitor the amount of energy that the solar panels are consuming and the amount of solar energy that we are using. However, month after month we grew concerned because we are currently paying {$190.00} per month for the solar panels but we are also being stuck with an electric bill of an average of XXXX to XXXX and {$50.00} per month. The solar company initially expressed that they wanted to help, and sent us three reimbursement checks for the months that our solar panels were non-operational. What led me to reach out to you is the fact that, it has been almost a year and we do not feel that we are reaping any benefits from the solar panels. Despite several attempts to discontinue services with the solar company, no one has reached out to us in relation to canceling our contract. At one point I even offered that if they could reduce our bill, we would be willing to keep the solar panels if they can resolve the issues, still we had not heard anything back. This had been turned into them telling us that there were more reimbursement checks that were approved, but never signed by a supervisor and therefore never sent to us. They told us that these reimbursement checks were signed in XXXX and XXXX, but no one had approved them. I asked my electricity company to conduct an audit and they have suggested that under our specific circumstances, we really should not be having a electricity bill. I also asked XXXX XXXX to investigate, they told me that they would but that has not happened even though the request was put in 6 months ago. With efforts to reconcile, XXXX XXXX at one point " approved '' a reimbursement check for the months that my solar system was not working, however these checks were supposedly approved back in XXXX and I still have not received one. When questioned, they tell me that an inquiry placed to an escalations manager, XXXX. It is now XXXX, and this is still not resolved. Additionally, I had the company perform endless tests and troubleshooting options, to no avail. Additionally, XXXX has completed stopped communication with me. To make a bad situation WORSE, the representative told me that we would be eligible for a " solar credit '' when we filed our income taxes and we were to give the solar company that check of {$8000.00}. We NEVER received a solar credit. I spoke with the tax preparer who stated that we were not eligible according to the guidelines. At this time, my payments are {$190.00} per month for the next 25 years. On top of this Dividend finance is expecting me to now pay them an ADDITIONAL {$8000.00} by XX/XX/XXXX. Most importantly, XXXX XXXX told me that our system would cost {$40000.00} which I have proof of attached. When I received the paperwork from dividend finance I was notified at that time that the system was {$55000.00}. When I brought this up to XXXX, my sales representative, he let me know that it would be {$55000.00} and then I would receive a rebate check for the {$15000.00}, which I never did. The biggest problem that I am facing is the conflict between what XXXX XXXX told me and what XXXX XXXX told dividend finance. After investigating this, dividend finance also aware.

Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage

Subissue:

Consumer Complaint: I was in a COVID relief forbearance program and was contacted in XXXX to apply for an extension. The extension was denied due to unknown reasons, and the letter sent did not clarify anything. I was rejected for no reason. I have tried calling the bank at XXXX multiple times, but I keep getting the voicemail because of high call volume. I have done my part trying to contact the bank, and no one has bothered to callback or tell me what needs to be done to work out or extend the COVID relief. The XXXX XXXX XXXX website says that I can not do anything online, and must call. I believe that the bank wants me to go into foreclosure instead of offering assistance that is mandated by FHA.

Issue: Trouble during payment process

Subissue:

Consumer Complaint: I changed my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/2023 to save money as I am a XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX on a fixed income. On XX/XX/XXXX I received a refund check from XXXX, my previous insurance company for XXXX. My new policy is an annual premium for XXXX. My insurance provider suggested I contact my Mortgage company, Fifth/Third to see what I had to repay to escrow if anything. Upon contacting Fifth Third mortgage they started making statements I did not agree with. Specifically they said I had to give them the full amount of the XXXX! They put me in contact with an associate in the Escrow Department, XXXX on XX/XX/2023 to explain and continued with the full amount of the check is what they needed and paying them if I could from my resources would be best. At great duress I gave in and paid them from my personal account which left me quite low in my personal checking but I did deposit the refund check. The issue is if all I had to do was replace the insurance portion of the Escrow it should have been XXXX for a full year only. Taxes and insurance are collected monthly and should be in the Escrow account! But after review online of my account it appears they took all of the XXXX refund and utilized it my account with NO agreement from me or valid or any explanation that made sense. This is wrong and very shady. I still have no idea what they are doing or why. Again as you know taxes and insurance are paid monthly why would they devour the whole check? Why did they push, hard for the full check? Even the amount of XXXX would seem high to me as they have collected 6 months of insurance premium I should be paying them XXXX for the rest of the year which is crazy as well because again they collect taxes and insurance monthly. Per my account as of today XXXX it looks as though they've applied part of the check to an additional monthly payment on XX/XX/2023 I did not agree to. I paid my XX/XX/2023 payment on XX/XX/2023 and they've put the rest in curtailment? Help!! Something is very wrong. The Mortgage Company Fifth Third is giving me health issues my stress level is high they are making my XXXX XXXX shoot to way above normal. Also this Company calls, emails in an unreasonable amount before my payment is due monthly to the point of harassment!
