Consumer Complaint: First instance occurred w/ regions bank was on On XX/XX/2019 my purse was stolen out of a shopping cart, which resulted in many of my cards being stolen and used. When I noticed my purse was missing I cancelled all of my cards but couldnt dispute any transactions when the following Monday when they posted. XXXX dollars was withdrawn from my account. I filed a dispute and was denied b/c they wont except the police report AND the detective working the case has called several times and spoke w/ the supervisor himself. The second instanced occurred on XX/XX/2019 and I personal sat down with the branch manager and told him remove overdraft protection and I dont want nothing paid. I told him the representative said she removed it a week priory and she didnt and I was charged XXXX dollars in overdraft fee when the lady said she removed it. He promised he took care of everything and nothing will go through if no money isnt in the account. I woke up 2 days later and notice I was hit with XXXX dollars worth of overdraft fees when the branch manager of XXXX Indiana promised nothing will go through! Regions has being doing shady transaction moves allowing things to go through when your not opted in. In the past 2 month I been hit with almost XXXX dollars worth of fees!!!

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX I received an email regarding a purchase confirmation on my XXXX account. I di not make this purchase so I immediately looked at my checking account with Regions Bank and saw this charge as well as two charges to XXXX for purchases that I did not make. I called my bank and notified them that my card and accounts had been compromised. At this point, only one transaction had cleared and two were still pending. They opened a dispute for the charge to XXXX that had cleared but told me that I must wait until the two pending charges had cleared before I could open a dispute for those two. On XX/XX/XXXX I was charged an NSF OD fee of {$72.00}. On XX/XX/XXXX I was charged an NSF OD fee of {$180.00}. On XX/XX/XXXX I was charged an NSF OD fee of {$36.00} and on XX/XX/XXXX a paid overdraft fee of {$140.00}. All these charges were a result of the pending fraudulent charges on my account because my previous made charges were coming through while these pending amounts were still there. I contacted XXXX who was able to refund one of the charges on XX/XX/XXXX ( 6 days after the charge was made ) On XX/XX/XXXX I was able to dispute the two charges that had been pending for 5 days as they had now cleared. I contacted my bank again to dispute these charges. I received notice from my bank on XX/XX/XXXX that they did not find the first charge to XXXX fraudulent. I faxed in a login history for my XXXX account showing login attempts in XXXX, XXXX, California, and several attempts to change my password. I then received notice from Regions Bank that they would not refund the two fraudulent XXXX charges even though I sent in the order confirmations where the hacker was ordering mattresses and shipping them all over the united states because they said XXXX refunded them to me. XXXX refunded one charge only but this was 6 days later. I visited my local branch on XX/XX/XXXX and explained what ws going on and provided all documents supporting. The branch employee told me that everything is done through a computer system and that is likely why it was denied. I have not heard anything since. I am now out {$640.00} betwen the thieves online and the thief, Regions Bank. I should not be charged {$430.00} in NSF overdraft fees from my bank that were a result of identity theft. I am the victim! I have contacted the XXXX Police Department to file a report but was told I would need an affidavit from my bank. PLEASE HELP!

Issue: Managing an account
Subissue: Banking errors
Consumer Complaint: Regions Bank ran a promotion last year to open a Business Checking Account and receive {$300.00} bonus. I opened an account in branch on XXXX XX/XX/XXXX for my sole proprietorship business. I received my Visa CheckCard in the regular mail 11 days later. So, I began, in earnest using my card to achieve the required 10 transactions within the remaining 19 days after account opening. My first use was on XXXX XX/XX/XXXX and it posted XXXX XX/XX/XXXX. The next use was on XXXX XX/XX/XXXX but did not post until XXXX XX/XX/XXXX because merchant didn't charge until items shipped. Every transaction after this posted to the account within 2 days of the charge. Even charges on XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX ( during XXXX holidays! ) posted the next day ( not business day ). So, I had a reasonable expectation that my final transaction on XXXX XX/XX/XXXX would post within 2 days to meet the bonus requirements. I waited the required 120 days after the final transaction for the bonus to post. When it never did, I went to the branch to question why. Upon subsequent checking, the bank indicated that my account didn't have the bonus incentive attached to it. I had all the documentation to get that fixed and I waited. At no time was I ever told that they were going to deny me the bonus because the last transaction didn't post until after the initial 30 days had expired - something I had no control over, but the bank did. My expectation was 2 days to post based upon the previous 9 transactions. While I was waiting for my branch banker to find out what was happening with the bonus, I did not have the use of my funds without jeopardizing the potential bonus or paying a monthly fee. I had to keep the account open another 3 months just to be told XXXX XX/XX/XXXX that I was not getting the bonus. At no time prior to this was I ever advised that I wasn't getting the bonus. Seems pretty shoddy that a bank that wants me as a customer would not, in this case, overlook their failure to : 1 ) get me the Visa CheckCard within 5 days ( which is normal according to branch banker ) so I could start my transactions sooner, and 2 ) to post a final transaction to the account within the normal 2-day time frame and award the bonus, at least, as a goodwill gesture to keep a customer. In the promotional literature with the bonus advertising, Regions says their goal is to be my new bank and that once I experience their award-winning customer service, I will become a long-term customer. Ain't happening.

On XX/XX/XXXX, he checked his balance using an ATM machine and was charged {$3.00}, but was unable to withdraw any funds. He tried 5 different machines on the same day and each time was charged either {$3.00} or {$3.00} for the balance inquiry ( for a total of {$20.00} ). He was not informed of such balance inquiry charges by his former employer or COMDATA. On XX/XX/XXXX, he withdrew from the card at an ATM machine and was charged {$3.00} on a {$280.00} draw. He told me about the fees and I contacted COMDATA multiple times from mid-XXXX through late XX/XX/XXXX and complained about the charges. Each time, I was told that the credit has been approved but will take 5 to 10 business days to show up on my sons account. The refund was never credited to his account.

Issue: Closing on a mortgage
Subissue:
Consumer Complaint: Please cross-reference with complaint XXXX-XXXX. They wrongly closed out my complaint. I bought up the rate on my mortgage, meaning that while Region 's paid most of my closing costs, I have to pay a mortgage rate of 4.3875 rather than a par rate of somewhere around 3.875, meaning that I will pay thousands of dollars more over the course of my loan. Region 's significantly changed the fees disclosed to me in the Loan Estimate presented to me. Region 's sent my complaint to their Compliance department but their Compliance department only reviewed it with technical regulations in mind and that because Region 's paid the closing costs, they stated that they were fine in changing / increasing the fees I was disclosed. In their eyes, I therefore lost all my consumer protections because I bought up the rate. If / when Region 's sells this loan off, they will make thousands of dollars off of the increased rate for someone with an XXXX credit score. I feel this is extremely unfair, deceptive and abusive. I passed this up to the very highest levels of management, speaking to XXXX XXXX, Regional Mortgage Manager. He touted his resume, told me that this store had a 100 % customer satisfaction rate, asked what I wanted ( to which I responded I just wanted to pay what I was originally disclosed ), told me he would research my issue further and get back to me ; it was two weeks and multiple calls from me to the call center before I spoke to XXXX XXXX again - at which time he had four additional people on the phone and told me he was bringing closure to this issue and that Regions would not do anything further. I feel that due to the flippant nature in which my complaint was handled, the lack of proper governance and controls, the lack of an effective compliance management system and the willful negligence and unethical behavior exhibited by Region 's, the CFPB should conduct a further investigation as to the manner in which other customers who bought up their rate were treated and to see if the amounts they were originally disclosed also increased as mine did. This could bring about a rather large enforcement action against Region 's. Additionally, the co-borrower on this loan is an XXXX XXXX Servicemember / XXXX and is about to leave for a deployment overseas.
