Issue: Late fee
Subissue:
Consumer Complaint: For recent months I 've rec 'd bills from XXXX that include {$75.00} late fees. This month XXXX rec 'd my bill on XXXX XXXX ( though the statement date is XXXX XXXX ) and it 's due XXXX XXXX & they say it can take 7 days to process payments once it 's rec 'd at their processing center. I 've called about this before and they say that I should access my bill online and pay online to avoid late fees but I wonder if they should n't give sufficient time to allow consumers to pay by check after receiving the hard-copy of the bill? And, if they choose not to that, should n't the late fees be reasonable? {$75.00} late fee on a single {$34.00} gas purchase is robbery. And, If they continue this practice, should n't the disclosure literature include a statement that there is no way a mailed payment will make it on time if they are allowed to take so long to process it once they get it and that they will not send the bills in a more timely manner and that the fee is now {$75.00} not the original ( also high ) {$35.00} that is was when I signed up for the card?

Consumer Complaint: I currently have XXXX accounts with my local regions bank. The checking account was not overdrawn and the local branch closed my account without notice on XXXX XXXX, 2015.

Consumer Complaint: I wanted to write and voice a concern involving the banking practices of Regions Bank and possibly others. My mother had surgery on XXXX and spent 14 days in XXXX. During this time her home was broke into and her Television was stolen. Upon returning her to her home she wrote me a check from her Regions back account and asked me to cash the check and go buy her a new television. I pulled up to the drive through and presented the teller with my mother 's regions check and my driver 's license. I was informed that I would be charged {$4.00} since I was not a member plus I would have to come inside. My first concern:1. laws, rules/regulations that allow Banks such as Regions to charge a fee to cash a check that their customer wrote is not customer service. This ultimately will result in an increase fee to their members/customers. For example : when an individual pays for services with a Regions check, a non-member will have to charge an extra {$4.00} because it was written from a Regions bank account. if these fees generate XXXX to XXXX revenue per month, putting this fee back on the account holders will result in them finding other banks to conduct their business. 2. Is This type of business conduct " Bank Bullying '' non-members are being strong armed/forced into opening an account with their bank requiring an minimum deposit or else face a fee. This state needs is tighter control, consistency and continuity across Alabama Banks. This type of fee is unreasonable and unfair.

Consumer Complaint: I get paid every other Friday. I checked my bank account on XXXX XXXX ( Thursday ) at about XXXX XXXX and my account was positive. I woke up on Friday after getting paid and I had {$210.00} overdraft fees. I called and spoke to customer service the next morning and explained the situation and XXXX from Regions told me that a check cleared on the XXXX. I explained to her that when I checked my account at XXXX XXXX that it was in the positive and why did I get so many OD fees? She could not give me a time that it cleared. I went the local Branch of Regions and spoke to the Branch manager and he said that he would have to send the situation to his regional manager and get back to me. I called back a couple days later and he said that a check cleared on the XXXX but he too could not give me a time when it cleared and said they could not give me any of the OD fees back. He said that they have a XXXX in a lifetime forgiveness policy and could not help me. I called channel XXXX news cause of his demeanor and the way XXXX treated me on the phone and XXXX from Channel XXXX gave me this link to contact to send a complaint.

Consumer Complaint: Worst bank I have ever dealt with. XXXX XXXX ( of regions mortgage loans in XXXX, Ga ) and his team had over a month and half to get my loan closed, but slacked and for some reason had to push the closing date yet again for a week. Leaving me to pay penalty costs for THEIR mistake. I was told XXXX different closing numbers, my phone calls were never answered and my emails were never responded to until days later. They did not try hard at all to get things done and all I have gotten were excuses to cover up their mistakes.

Consumer Complaint: I went in to Region Bank XXXX XXXX in XXXX NC and made a deposited of 2200.00 and was advised by the teller XXXX XXXX that a XXXX XXXX hold would be placed on 2000.00 until XXXX/XXXX/2015. I agreed to that, but the problem occurred is when I check my account on XXXX/XXXX/2015 my account was XXXX in the negative. I called customer service, because the branch was closed and spoke with several represents and they was not helpful or concern. I then reach a rep ( XXXX ) that was great and tried her best to assist me, but explain that it could only be handle at the branch. I very upset that I had to go 2 day in the weekend with no available funds in my account, because before I made the deposit it was funds available in my account.
