Consumer Complaint: Cfpb complaint was filed on XX/XX/2022 in reference to an adverse decision. The cfpb closed this complaint after FIFTH THIRD BANK responded with an correspondence dated for XX/XX/2022 that stated they are " conducting research ''. FIFTH THIRD BANK also forwarded a 2nd letter to my home address dated for the exact same date of XX/XX/2022 which disclosed the same correspondence that was submitted to the CFPB with the last paragraph worded completely different. The initial issue of the original complaint has not been addressed or solved. FIFTH THIRD BANK has submitted two totally different responses in regards to my original complaint. One response was submitted to the CFPB and another response was forwarded to my home address that states a different outcome of my original complaint. The original complaint has not been addressed and FIFTH THIRD BANK has created two response letters that disclose two different actions/outcomes. Please help resolve the initial issue.

Subissue: Problem with customer service

Consumer Complaint: I am filing a complaint in response to the resolution I received from Fifth Third on XX/XX/XXXX regarding the bank damaging my credit for following the explicit instructions given to me by the bank. Throughout the investigation, there was a complete lack of communication from Fifth Third and the eventual company response failed to even acknowledge the basis of my original complaint. The issue was I was given blatantly false information and incorrect instructions from multiple bank representatives regarding a credit card dispute. I was advised at the branch ( end of XX/XX/XXXX, in-person meeting with XXXX XXXX XXXX to refrain from making any kind of payment on the card during the dispute and was later penalized for following the explicit instructions given to me by the bank. I also received contradictory and false details about the status of my card on a recorded line ( XX/XX/XXXX ). At the beginning of the process, I was contacted by the case manager, XXXX XXXX, who assured me he would be in regular communication with me regarding the issue. Despite calling him multiple times a week, I was not able to get a hold of him once beyond our introductory conversation. After hearing nothing from Fifth Third throughout the investigation, I received the resolution and it did not even address the claims regarding false information and inaccurate instructions given to me by the bank in their response. This was the entire basis of my complaint. To me, this is a sign that the complaint was not investigated with any reasonable amount of legitimacy or objectivity. In this situation, Fifth Third is both the defendant and the judge when it comes to resolving this complaint, not to mention the conflict of interest in the fact that Fifth Third benefits financially ( accrual of fees ) by ruling against my favor. I have not received the bare minimum of communication or even accurate and accessible information regarding my credit card with Fifth Third since the dispute took place. I insist that Fifth Third explains and acknowledges the blatantly incorrect information they gave me, and does not penalize me for what is a company error.

Issue: Trouble during payment process

Subissue:

Consumer Complaint: After ending my 6 month COVID-19 Forebearance with 5/3 Bank, which ended XX/XX/XXXX, I received a letter in early XXXX stating that I must submit payment to avoid further action. After making many attempts to communicate with the bank and explain that I had applied for Illinois housing assistance, I was told that they have no information to that regard. I received my XXXX payment, so I paid the amount the letter stated, and separately maid XXXX payment. I continued to reach out to the bank asking that the funds they received be posted so that I would not incur further action. After many attempts, I was told I hadnt paid all that was due, and that I had late fees. So, I submitted a payment for XXXX to cover late charges that should not have been charged. My mortgage payment was shown on account but not posted to it, so I called again. They said they are working on a loan modification. I explained that I dont want a loan modification and that the money I sent still had not been applied. I explained I did not know of any modifications except the Forebearance that already passed. Finally, I checked and saw payments to mortgage posted from the funds I submitted in XXXX. Then I made XXXX payment. Then I received a statement requesting money for XXXX, which was more than it shouldve been. Concerned, I sent that payment and am still waiting to see the documentation of the payment submitted in XXXX. I requested that my account be reviewed for accuracy and was transferred to many representatives without any resolution. I need help in getting 5/3 to communicate with me and explain where money was posted and why I was charged late fees or other fees.
