Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX a XXXX hacked into my son 's Regions Bank accounts utilizing his online account information and stole XXXX. To gain access using an unfamiliar terminal, the XXXX was able to hack the Regions Bank database in some manner and retrieve security passwords. The XXXX then transferred funds ( XXXX ) from my son 's savings account into my son 's checking account and utilized XXXX ( a service never before ( or after ) used by my son ) to transfer funds to themselves ( name on transfer was XXXX XXXX ). Luckily, my son became aware of the theft and immediately ( on the evening of XX/XX/XXXX ) locked his account ( presumably preventing the remaining XXXX from being transferred ). The next day ( XX/XX/XXXX ), my son went into a local branch of Regions Bank and filed a claim for breach of the accounts. He also filed a claim with the XXXX ( AL ) city police department. After multiple attempts and denials from Regions Bank stating that they did not find any action of theft despite recognizing the method of withdrawal ( XXXX ) had never been utilized before, we are seeking alternative assistance to recover. Clearly based on the facts as presented and relayed to Regions Bank, this theft was not the action of the account holder.

Issue: Closing on a mortgage
Subissue:
Consumer Complaint: 1 ) Sold our home at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX TN XXXX onXX/XX/2019 Regions Bank provided a XXXX balance letter in support of closing and then standard paperwork was sent to Regions Bank to close the HELOC. Regions failed to close the HELOC per standard industry procedure. 2 ) In XX/XX/2019, an automated system within the loan department at Regions Bank charged the still open HELOC {$9100.00} for Hazard/Property Insurance on the property sold in XX/XX/2019. This charged was reversed the same day. 3 ) On XX/XX/2019, Regions charged the still open HELOC with a {$9200.00} and labelled it a Customer Service Adjustment. 4 ) In early XX/XX/2019, I spoke with a person in Regions loan department. They stated they had not received the documentation of sale and gave me a fax # to send it to. We complied that day. They still have not closed the HELOC and interest is accruing. 5 ) On XX/XX/XXXX, I discovered the HELOC was still linked to our checking account for Overdraft Protection. While traveling overseas, I had mistimed a deposit of funds and credit card payment. XXXX Bank was alerted that the payment would be returned and to resend. Regions Overdraft Protection kicked in the next day. It was repaid that day. 6 ) Transaction Details Below.

I am retaining counsel but want the public to know that there is either a serious software issue within Regions, or outright fraud being perpetrated by internal employees.

Issue: Charged fees or interest you didn't expect
Subissue:
Consumer Complaint: Regions Bank will not allow me to close a Regions Preferred LOC account with an annual fee unless I appear in person at a location XXXX miles from where I live. I opened the account while stationed at XXXX XXXX, LA at the XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, LA location. I was required to move for work to the XXXX NM area in XX/XX/XXXX. I did not close the accounts then, as my home was not yet sold and the home loan was through Regions Bank. After the home was sold in XX/XX/XXXX, I requested all my accounts to be closed. After some back and forth in the online message center, I received assurances that all accounts would be closed. I stopped receiving statements in XX/XX/XXXX, so presumed this was successful. In XX/XX/XXXX, I received a notice in my email saying I had a statement from Regions. Admittedly, I did not review the statement as my understanding was that all accounts were closed. However, this was a statement for an annual fee being assessed. In XX/XX/XXXX, I received a paper letter in the mail stating that a loan payment was not paid. I called Regions asking what loan I had with them. Regions notified me the LOC account was still open and that they have charged a {$50.00} fee, as well as a {$35.00} fee for not paying on time. Regions now claims I owe Regions {$85.00} as well as interest I presume. While the fees on an account that I wanted closed and had not received a statement on for over 7 months is egregious in and of itself, Regions insists they will not close the account unless I appear in person. No certified power of attorney is acceptable. No representative can attend in my stead. No modern legal vehicle will be accepted. I must take 2 days off work , drive 845 miles, stay in a hotel, go to the lobby of the bank I opened the account with, close the account, and drive 845 miles back. The only reasonable explanation I can come up with is that Regions Bank counts on clients just paying $ XXXXyr for the rest of their lives in order to avoid the likely {$1000.00} it will cost to travel to the lobby where they opened the account.

I asked XXXX XXXX to contact Regions, one financial institution to another to help me get the money back. XXXX XXXX said Regions would not help them. I filed complaints with FL Atty General against XXXX XXXX and Regions Bank. They sent it to the FL Office of Financial Regulation.

Please see all my attached correspondence and the actual Money Order in question for {$260.00}.

Consumer Complaint: I notified regions bank of multiple fraud charges on my account and they denied them stating that too much time had passed since the charge took place. I have been told that there is no time limit to report fraud charges on my account. below are the charges and dates that I reported to regions bank on my credit card. date merchant amount XX/XX/2016 XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXr XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XX/XX/2016 XXXX XXXX XX/XX/20XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XX/XX/2016 XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I do not have a letter from them about this because even though they said they sent one out, I never received it in the mail. I believe them denying my claim is against the regulations set in the fair credit act and they have clearly and knowingly broken the rules and regulations set in order to avoid refunding my fraudulent charges.
