Consumer Complaint: On XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX a tow truck came to my driveway while I was out of the country to tow my car - XXXX XXXX XXXX, a car I am financing with Fifth Third Bank. When my wife asked why, the two truck driver said for non-payment. However, my monthly payment is setup for auto deductions. For some reason the auto deduction didn't get processed and the bank made no efforts to reach out to me through email or call. My wife called me immediately and I tried to resolve the payment with them bu offering make payment immediately but the they refused and insisted on towing the car. I called the office and finally wired the outstanding balance to the bank after the car was towed. Since then, my car is still in possesion with the bank despite paying for the missed payment and all expenses, including the tow cost. I felt the Banks actions was predatory, discriminatory, unfair, dishonest and unprofessional. It looks to me that the bank was more interested in repossessing the car and getting business for their affiliates - XXXX XXXX than getting their missed payment. I was hoping that given my credit history records for non-missed payment for almost two decades that should inform them that its an honest system error. And they could have just taken the payment and leave my car. But rather insisted on towing it so they can make extra money on fees and also give business to their affiliates by getting me to pay for the tow. A carefully reviewed customer feedback on XXXX and realized this is what they have been doing. Deliberately making it difficult to pay you bills so they can come back get on you on fees and repossessions.

Consumer Complaint: Hello, My name is XXXX XXXX XXXX. The reason I opened up the account with 5th 3rd Bank was because of the bonus plus the advantage of not having overdraft fees. It was all untrue and I have been charged 11 overdraft fees {$360.00} in fees plus they charge 3 fees just for overdrafting once. So overdraft for {$50.00} and they charge you {$97.00} dollars. I have reached out to them twice and they refuse to reverse the fees. Here is the link of their false advertising about charging no fees. https : XXXX Thanks so much!

Consumer Complaint: Wish to report a Reg X violation on Fifth Third Bank. We closed on a home mortgage for our property. The estimated Escrow was $ XXXXmonth. Our estimated taxes and insurance for the year are projected by Fifth Third Bank to be $ XXXXyear. Our receipt of the Proposed XXXX Tax Assessment is between $ XXXX {$4500.00} with a current insurance premium of {$1400.00}, which would put our XXXX & I range between {$5700.00} and {$6000.00} which is considerably less than Fifth Third 's estimates. We had put down {$4700.00} to escrow on closing. Fifth Third Bank is charging us $ XXXXmonth in escrow. With this value, we will pay approximately {$22000.00} over 12 months for escrow to cover an ~ {$8400.00} Tax and Insurance bill ( using Fifth Third 's higher estimate ). This value is well in excess as allowed by Regulation X 's 12 CFR 1024.17 ( c ) ( 1 ) ( ii ) regarding the amount per month they are charging that is well in excess of the XX/XX/XXXX of the annual amount plus 2 months of buffer. This is even well of excess of the XXXX max limit allowed by regulation. I had contacted them on XX/XX/XXXX and requested an escrow analysis. It was declined since they would only perform a new one if the tax projections changed. I called again on XX/XX/XXXX and spoke with an escrow agent and their manager. They both walked through the numbers and said it was high, but the values " were accurate '' even though the manager could not make the numbers work. I asked again to do an escrow analysis, but she said it would most likely be denied again unless the tax projections changed, and I would have to wait until XXXX of next year. Their initial books said that when they acquired our mortgage from another company that they would perform a new escrow analysis within 90 days of Fifth Third Bank taking on the mortgage.

Consumer Complaint: On or about XX/XX/XXXX, I asked my bank manager at the 5th 3rd branch in XXXX, MI. to perform a wire transfer to a vendor of mine in XXXX, XXXX. The bank had performed this exact task in the past, with only 1 issue previously. I was not present in the branch at the time of the transfer, and felt comfortable with that because the branch manager was handling the transaction personally and said she could just pull all the information from a previous wire. The monies were never delivered to the vendors bank in XXXX. The wire was for XXXX when the money was not available the following week, both my vendor in XXXX and I began asking the banks where the money was? no one had any answers. I never received any kind of receipt from the bank manager for the wire. when i asked her to send my the info she used it was a receipt from XXXX of XXXX. The bank in XXXX said it looked like there were missing numbers for the intercam bank, according to my vendor. The bank manager that handled the original transaction said she emailed someone and there was no response, she said they attempted to recall the wire, and got no response. then in mid XXXX she finally told me there was nothing more she could do, and I wouldn't be getting my money back. No one knows where my money went, and the bank never made it seem like it was even a possibility my money wouldn't make it to its destination. The bank charged me for a service, then lost my money, and refused to take responsibility for the results. How is this in any way shape or form my liability?
