Consumer Complaint: XXXX XXXX, 2017 I wish to make a complaint for the customer service I received recently by the Assistant Vice President Licensed Branch Manager XXXX XXXX at the XXXX XXXX Branch. I 've had many issues with overdraft fees charged on my account by Key Bank errors in the past. On XXXX XXXX 2017, I was charged an overdraft fee for insufficient funds since I 've had many issues with Key Bank errors I asked for a refund as a courtesy. The customer service I had spoke to on the phone advised me to go into a Branch near me and speak to a personal banker at a Key Bank Branch near me and they 'd be able to help me. When I went into the XXXX XXXX Branch, I spoke to a bank teller who advised me to go into the Key Bank Branch where I had opened my account and they 'd be able to help me better there. I went into the Key Bank Branch located in XXXX XXXX and spoke to a bank teller who, told me I had to speak to a personal banker in regards to the refund because she was unable to authorize the refund since I had a substantial amount of courtesy refunds already. Which in fact was inaccurate as they had been Key Bank errors. On Tuesday XXXX XXXX, 2017, I went into Key Bank to speak to a personal banker in regards to overdraft fees I had in the month of XXXX. When I spoke to the Assistant Vice President Licensed Branch Manager XXXX XXXX, I tried explaining what had happened with my prior overdraft fees and asked if I could have a courtesy refund on some of the overdraft fees since there had been issues with the prior fees. As I explained what the problem was she rudely interrupted me without letting me explain thoroughly and kept shouting at me " was it a bank error? '' As I had explained, this time it was not a bank error but since I had to deal with many bank errors prior to this one I wanted to ask if I could have a refund as a courtesy. I am absolutely disgusted with the customer service I received by the Assistant Vice President Licensed Branch Manager XXXX XXXX, she was beyond ridiculous! I have never met such a rude person ever before and her behavior was completely out of line! I had to get up and walk out from there before I lost it. As we walked out of the bank she continued to be rude and unprofessional, laughing and smiling and shaking her head as we walked off.

Consumer Complaint: I reached 80 % L.T.V. on my mortgage in XXXX 2016. I wrote and e mailed a request to have P.M.I. dropped to no avail. At 78 % L.T.V. it should have dropped automatically but it didnt. I have spoken to 10 different people at Key Bank about this and no one cares or does anything to rectify the situation. They gave an excuse that it was still in effect because I owed a {$45.00} late charge which never appeared in any of my monthly statements. I paid it and still I am being billed for P.M.I. for 15 months after it should I have been dropped. I have never dealt with a company that has treated me so poorly and has shown zero interest in resolving the problem. Currently I am investigating if what they are doing is even legal and looking into filing a complaint with the Attorney General 's Office.

Consumer Complaint: I used to have my mortgage through XXXX XXXX but KeyBank took over its operations last year. After the takeover, I did n't update my payment information for my online checking account. I made a payment on-time in XX/XX/XXXX ; however, my bank sent the check to KeyBank 's XXXX location ( where XXXX XXXX was headquartered ). KeyBank sent me a letter telling me payment was late. When I called to explain what happened, I was told to call my primary bank ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) and order it to cancel the check. Thereafter, I had to issue a new check to Key Bank which I did right away. I asked the agent if a late fee would be assessed and he said he would look into it and note my request on the file. I said that I would n't think a late fee was fair as I obviously tried to pay on time and could document that effort. I have no other history of late payments. KeyBank ultimately did charge me a late fee of {$67.00}. I called on X/XX/17 asking to have this removed and was told that it would not be removed as I should have updated KeyBank 's payment information. I only made 1 payment late ( the payment at issue ) and am upset that given the error was because of a corporate takeover, the fee is not being waived. Because of this fee, I suspect I will not be able to get PMI waived when the mortgage value reaches 80 % ; I estimate this will cost me $ 1k - $ 2k.

Consumer Complaint: I have had a mortgage with Key Bank ( previously XXXX XXXX ) for roughly 2.5 years. Every month I make my payment online through XXXX XXXX 's bill pay. I have never had an issue until now. This month I received a letter from Key Bank stating that I was past due on my XX/XX/XXXX payment and assessed a late fee. I was warned that this could potentially be reported to the credit bureaus. I checked my XXXX online banking to see the payment was sent and received by Key Bank on on XXXX XXXX, 2017 so far before my due date of XX/XX/XXXX. I have a confirmation number of this transaction and the amount is no longer in my account. I called Key Bank on XX/XX/XXXX when I opened the letter from them. The agents informed me the call was to collect a debt from me. I was transferred several times till finally I was given an email address to a manager to send my proof of payment. I emailed this proof with the confirmation number and was told I would hear back soon. After not hearing for over 48 hours I called back. No one knew anything that I was talking about and still said I owed money and a late fee. Additionally, besides making my payment on time, I also made a lump sum payment of XXXX dollars on XX/XX/XXXX ( which is in my payment grace period ) to remove the PMI from my mortgage. So essentially I payed around {$27000.00} on time. Key Bank is still telling me they are not able to locate my payment, and they took my payment for XX/XX/XXXX and applied to to XX/XX/XXXX. My XX/XX/XXXX payment was for an extra XXXX dollars that was supposed to go toward my principle. They used some of that money to pay the late fee from the previous month. I paid XXXX to fax them proof of the electronic debit. They still said this is insufficient. Basically there is XXXX missing of mine. XXXX says they sent it to Key Bank and they say they never got it. I am now considered behind on payments. Key Bank 's customer service is more than poor. It has been despicable. No one knows what each other is doing and they do not respond after promising to get back in touch with me.

Consumer Complaint: Key bank took over my home equity line of credit from XXXX XXXX. We sold our home so this loan needed to be closed. The paperwork was submitted at the time of settlement on the home. However, the line of credit was never closed or the lien removed. I also found out that there had been an overpayment of what we owed on the line of credit. this was over a month after the date of settlement. The bank never made any attempt to contact me to let me know of the overpayment or to refund my money. To this date they still have not returned the overpayment to me. They are holding my money and refuse to return it to me. I have done everything they have asked me to do to resolve this and they keep telling me it will be another 10 to 15 days. This is unacceptable. They are withholding my money against my will.

Consumer Complaint: After months of arguing, I did file a BBB/ CFPB complaint against KEY Bank . Well last week I was sent a letter and a check telling me now that they closed the account that they refused to close prior to the complaints. Also in my account before the illegal debits was {$21.00}, they sent me a check for {$14.00}, thus taking more of my money that they are n't entitled to. how can they get away with this stealing? and as of yet not one phone call from the corporate office in XXXX.

Consumer Complaint: I have a boat loan with Key Bank. My boat is a documented vessel - this is different than typical registration on a boat. My boat has a vessel name ( XXXX ) and a hailing port ( XXXX XXXX, CA ). I moved to XXXX XXXX last year and wanted to change the hailing port on my vessel. The XXXX XXXX requires me to get approval from Key Bank via XXXX XXXX Form XXXX. I contacted Key Bank and they gave me an address to send the form and required a {$100.00} fee to process the form. They said it would be processed in 5 business days. I sent the form and check to them on XXXX XXXX 2017. I was planning a trip to XXXX in XXXX so I wanted to get all the paperwork completed by then. After waiting 3 weeks, I contacted Key Bank. They said they never got my form or check. I informed them that they had cashed my check which was stapled to the form. They insisted that I send another check and form - this time they gave me a different address with a specific mail stop. I called the next week to see if they go the form. They said no. I continued to call and finally they told me they got it and were processing it. I made an additional 17 phone calls to various people including XXXX XXXX, two of this staff XXXX & XXXX, XXXX, XXXX and finally to XXXX XXXX. XXXX was able to confirm the receipt of my form and told me XXXX XXXX was processing it. I waited another 2 weeks and nothing. It 's now getting close to my departure to XXXX so I contacted the XXXX XXXX to tell them what was going on. They required another {$100.00} fee to un-do my request ( I paid them {$100.00} when I initiated the request with Key Bank in XXXX ). I had to re-purchase lettering for my boat to take it back to the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and submitted an expedited request to the XXXX XXXX for temporary documentation so that I can leave the country. Key Bank XXXX XXXX me a document today approving a name change on my boat. I do not wish to change the name, I never requested that, I requested changing the hailing port. For 2 1/2 months now , Key Bank continues to be uncooperative on the phone and clueless as to what is being requested. They should not provide boat loans if they do not have the ability to process the simple paperwork required to meet XXXX XXXX requirements.
