Issue: Managing an account
Subissue: Fee problem
Consumer Complaint: I have multiple accounts with Regions Bank, and have to transfer money regularly to maintain a positive balance. However every time I manually transfer money to avoid overdraft fees, they make the transfer appear as if they did it as a courtesy, and charge a {$15.00} fee. I am constantly on the phone with a representative about these fees, and they are often refunded. Most recently I made a manual transfer in order to manor an ATM withdrawal in the amount of {$100.00} on XX/XX/XXXX. After the banking activity cleared, the transfer was changed to an overdraft protection transfer, and a {$15.00} fee was attached. I made another manual transfer on XX/XX/XXXX for a {$54.00} purchase that cleared on XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX the transfer again was changed to an overdraft protection transfer, and a {$15.00} fee was assessed. On XX/XX/XXXX I was charged another {$15.00} overdraft protection transfer fee. I was also charged a {$36.00} NSF fee. The transfer activity that took place on XX/XX/XXXX would not have been necessary, if the bank did not improperly charge me on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. The addition of the charge on XX/XX/XXXX caused me account to go into a negative balance, and a {$36.00} fee was assessed.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement
Subissue: Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Consumer Complaint: This charge was supposedly done on XX/XX/2018. However, I have had this issue way too many times with XXXX posting charges late, when I can no longer verify if they are legitimate charges or not. After dealing with this after receiving my XX/XX/18 bill, I ordered new cards from a new company and began using them XXXX XXXX. When the XX/XX/18 bill came, I called and verified that there were no pending transactions and that paying that bill in full would have it paid in full. Even though I was charged an {$87.00} " high risk transaction fee '' that was not supposed to be on my account. I closed my account on XX/XX/18 with the consumer advocacy department ( Ref : XXXX ). I have the confirmation of close email. The day after I closed it, it seems ANOTHER backdated transaction was put through with a transaction date of XX/XX/18 and posted on XX/XX/18 ) This is unacceptable. I no longer wish to do business with XXXX and will not deal with having backdated charges show up for the rest of the year. This needs to STOP. My account is closed, and no further transactions post to my account at all! I want to be DONE with this nightmare! I was told by the XXXX XXXX Department today ( XX/XX/18 ) that even though the account is closed, they will still post any backdated transactions - no matter how old - and bill me. They refused to even remove the backdated charge or the erroneous fee from last month. This is my second time writing with this complaint department about XXXX and their billing practices. I have disputed the charge formally, but doubt they will do anything about it.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement
Subissue: Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/2018 there was a fraudulent transaction on my account for the amount of {$140.00}. I filled out a fraudulent transaction form and sent to the company as per their policy. The company later responded with the following : Dear Valued Customer, The Fraud Investigation team has completed the review of your claim related to unauthorized charges for Case Number : XXXX involving card ( s ) ending in : XXXX. All fraud claims are reviewed in compliance with federal regulations, Cardholder Agreements, and MasterCard rules ( when applicable ). Upon review of the available information, which includes but is not limited to transactional data, account history and information which you have provided on the dispute form, it has been determined that the charges in dispute are not covered under your Cardholder Agreement, and therefore we are unable to approve your claim. Your Cardholder Agreement states : Federal Regulation Z for Business Use : You agree in any event that if at any time you have been issued ten ( 10 ) or more cards at your request, then you waive any and all limitations of liability for unauthorized use of such cards. While our real-time transaction monitoring systems are examining your account 24/7 for suspicious activity, we recommend that you frequently review your account for unauthorized purchases. Customer service is available 24/7 if you'd like assistance on the best way to use our online tools to monitor suspicious activity. For questions regarding your Cardholder Agreement, please call the Customer Service number on the back of your card. Thank you for your patience in allowing us to complete a full investigation of your claim. We appreciate your business and look forward to serving you in the future. Respectfully, Fraud Operations, Investigations Unit While the information in their response maybe true, it does not apply to my complaint. This was not an unauthorized use of a card. The card in question was in my possession at the time the fraudulent transaction was made and therefor meaning the card wasn't actually used at all. I would assume this was a electronic credit card fraud but either way the company is unwilling to answer me and don't seem to care.

Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low
Subissue: Overdrafts and overdraft fees
Consumer Complaint: I deposited a insurance check into my account in XX/XX/XXXX. Regions notified me they were going to hold the check for 3o days but they had already received the funds from my insurance company. Regions charged my bank account an excess of over 1000.00 in overdraft fees because the check didn't have the signature of the company that did the repairs on my car. The repair company tried to have them release the funds but they wouldn't. I paid the automobile repair company then had to have them credit my account because regions wouldn't release there money that has already been cleared from my insurance Co. Bank.

Issue: Opening an account
Subissue: Unable to open an account
Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/24 I opened an account on line with Regions bank and was assigned an account number, and I also signed up for on line banking. I also funded the account with a {$50.00} opening deposit. Later that afternoon, I stopped in to a local branch and picked up two debit cards and assigned PIN numbers - one for me and one for my wife. I also activated these cards. The next day, I attempted to deposit {$200.00} in cash. That deposit was declined. I then tried to use the debit card at my dry cleaner and it was declined. I called the customer service line and after being transferred to various people who could not help me I was told that a block had been placed on my account by a local branch and only that branch would help me. Today, I was able to speak with someone at the branch and they told me that the account was closed due to a report of fraud. No other explanation was provided to me. I was told I would receive a letter and was told to call something called " XXXX XXXX XXXX ''. When I asked for that number, I was told I could look it up myself. This process seems backwards. Why would a bank allow me to open an account, fund it, change my direct deposit and then two days later close it without a detailed explanation?

Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage
Subissue:
Consumer Complaint: Regions bank is breaking the law. My house was damaged by hurricane IRMA in XXXX. Since Florida has been declared a federal disaster area, which means, by law I can get a forbearance payment on my FHA mortgage. When I contacted regions in XX/XX/XXXX about my repair cost due to hurricane IRMA preventing me to be able to pay on time they offered a repayment plan not a forbearance plan. The repayment plan is that I only skip one month of payments and then pay extra payments every month for 4 months until the loan is current. Thats not a practical solution. And I requested a different strategy and was denied. And not only that they never mentioned to me that not making the one month payment would be reported to credit agencies and a missed delinquent payment.

Issue: Trouble during payment process
Subissue:
Consumer Complaint: My mortgage was sold to Regions bank during the first year of having it. I wasrequired to sign up for a new online account with a bank I wanted nothing to do with in order to maintain my mortgage. Early on this wasn't that much of an issue, but in the last year Regions has become more aggressive using my personal information in attempts to try and sell me services that I do not want or ask for even though I have reported to them many times that my information is not for them to use as they please. I have asked multiple times to be removed from any and all lists that do not pertain directly to my mortgage statement and while I am assured every time that this has been done, I will receive something else the next month. They also don't provide any means to unsubscribe from their mailing lists in the emails I receive. I want this harassment to end.

Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low
Subissue: Overdrafts and overdraft fees
Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/2018, I was assessed {$100.00} in overdraft fees by Regions Bank due to three checks that were cleared. However, I believe that Regions Bank rearranged the order of the checks so in such a manner that would maximize the fees charged. On XX/XX/2018 I received a direct deposit and I believe that Regions retroactively assessed the overdraft fees.When I checked my balance on XX/XX/2018 I had enough money to clear the checks that were presented. However, on XX/XX/2018 I checked my balance and noticed that the aforementioned fees had been assessed. I believe that Regions Bank cleared the checks on XX/XX/2018, posted them to my account on XX/XX/2018 in order to be able to assess the fees.
