Issue: Managing an account
Subissue: Deposits and withdrawals
Consumer Complaint: I am a single mother of XXXX, things have been super tough with COVID and money is tight. On XX/XX/XXXX I deposited my paycheck through mobile deposit on my US bank app, says it would post to my account by XX/XX/XXXX. First I only deposited my check on a Saturday because I had to wait a week to get my check because the post office delayed delivering it. So I finally received it on Saturday XX/XX/XXXX, I did mobile deposit because I didnt have enough gas to drive to the bank. US bank made {$220.00} available immediately and said the rest would be available by XX/XX/XXXX. I used some of the money and on XX/XX/XXXX I checked to see if the check posted so I could pay my bills and my account showed it was negative {$210.00} and check still had not posted. I called US bank to find out why my account was negative and they told me there was a 7 day hold on the check. The customer service representative told me that only a branch manager could release the hold and I asked to be transferred to a manager and was sent to an automated system that hung up on me. I called several bank locations and no one answered the phone, I finally got a hold of someone I spoke to XXXX at the XXXX XXXX location and he told me that I would need to speak to the manager at my home branch, I told them no one answered. He said he would try to reach out to that bank manager and give me a call back. 2 hours later I received a call from XXXX at the XXXX XXXX XXXX location, I asked about why there was a hold on my paycheck my check was only {$1000.00}. He said he had no idea that the system didnt say the exact reason but said it was probably for fraud and that they needed to wait to make sure funds cleared and told me he could not remove hold. XXXX said there was hold on check until XXXX and that I would have to wait until then, this is longer than the 7 days I was originally told. Even though I was told XXXX had the power to remove hold he said he couldnt, I asked if there was anyone at US Bank that could remove the hold he said nobody could. Find the hard to believe that, a bank that has millions of customers cant release a hold off a check. I then asked about my account being negative and about the fees they will charge me for my account being negative and he told me that I would have wait until they charge the fees to my account and then he could wave 3 of fees but that was it. I just want my check released, my lights and water are going to be cut off by the end of the week. I cant wait until XXXX. It is unacceptable for my bank to hold my check for a week and a half and then turn around charge me fees for them making my account negative. I plan on suing US Bank for being unethical and holding the money of a single mother of XXXX and allowing her lights and water to be shut off after she worked 80+ to earn that money and now cant buy her daughter a gift for her birthday tomorrow.

Issue: Trouble using the card
Subissue: Problem using the card to withdraw money from an ATM
Consumer Complaint: My unemployment is paid via the US Bank relicard and they ( US Bank ) have frozen my account and informed me ( after a phone call from me ) after finding out while checking out at the grocery that i have been randomly chosen due to " a massive fraud investigation " to have to prove my identity not by showing up in person but rather faxing them a copy of my State ID, Social Security card, and 2019 W2 forms in which i reluctantly did only for them then tell me it would be 10-15 days to review what i sent in. After 10-11 days later i checked my card and it was still frozen, my unemployment check went in but i could not take anything out so i called again to be informed that what i sent in ( exactly what they asked for ) was not sufficient, no reason on why just not sufficient and on top of that i was told by US Bank relicard operator that there is know way for them to find out because it was there " offline '' fraud leasion team and there is no way of contacting them. So i recent the papers a second time and waited 10 more days to then be informed that " my paycheck stub was from XX/XX/2019 and they couldn't accept anything older than XX/XX/2019 '' in which i replied that i have not sent them any paycheck stubs i sent my W2 's like they asked. after an absurd amount of time on hold i was told to re fax my w2 's and if they were on file or when they received this 3rd fax my acount would be unlocked within 5 more days. 5 days later i called my account is still locked no one can tell me why, just that they have received my paperwork and there is no further instructions so there hands are tied. I beg of you to please help me in this matter for i have no where else to turn, i have not been able to access any of the only {$1400.00} to my name for over a month and i see no resolve in the near future i have already lost my place to live and will soon be on the street i also have kids than have literally gone without meals do to this. what they are doing should be criminal, this is my unemployment check and they have kidnapped it and are holding for a unpayable, ever changing ransom. I have spoken with the unemployment office and they assured me that this was US Banks doing, not theirs. Thank you for your time and consideration

Subissue: Confusing or misleading advertising about the card
Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/2020, at XXXX XXXX, I attempted to call ReliaCard customer service to speak with a representative regarding fraudulent charges to my account. ReliaCard is the reloadable debit card that Oregon unemployment payments are deposited to, issued by US Bank. Instead of looking at my card for the customer service number on the back, I went to https : //www.usbankreliacard.com/contact-us and clicked the call XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX link which prompted my phone to call the number. The automated system that answered asked for my 16 digit card number, which I retrieved and entered, then informed me that my phone number I was calling from wasnt associated with my card, which was odd because I receive transaction alerts via text message for the card. Next, the system asked for the last four digits of my social security number which I then entered, then the system said all customer service technicians were busy with other callers, it said goodbye and ended the call on its own. I then looked at the back of my card and compared it to the number I had just called and they were different. I called the number on the card ( XXXX XXXX XXXX and the automated system said most of the same things as the previous one, but didnt have me enter my card number, my social security number, and played waiting music as I held for the next available customer service technician. The technician informed me that the first number I had called was not affiliated with US Bank or ReliaCard. Following that call, I called a local branch of US Bank and spoke to a teller about the issue, and he had no knowledge, awareness, advice, information, resolution, or so much as interest in the situation or my concerns, which he ultimately attempted to minimize before ending the call. I then spoke with local law enforcement who transferred me to the Attorney General, who referred me back to the internet and this complaint form. Following this complaint, I intend to itemize my charges, deposits, and full account history to discuss with the ReliaCard Fraud Department, cancel my current card, and order a new one, as well as use the Credit Bureaus protection features. I was already concerned but now am terribly concerned about my credit, identity, privacy, and financial well-being. I dont understand how a bank, especially such an established bank can be so careless about the privacy and security of its members. I have spent the past 7 hours attempting to mitigate the consequential events of that phone call. I feel so violated!

Consumer Complaint: I am surprised that I was late on this account when I checked XXXX XXXX. I also noticed that I was marked over the limit. I made sure that all of my accounts are in automatic debit from my harbor one credit card. That card is working fine but when the pandemic hit, my account was mistakenly unlinked by harbor one bank. I tried contacting them but the bank lobby was closed due to covid19, plus I never got any statements, or phone calls or any communication that I was late. I was advised by the bank to write a letter explaining to Elan Financial and they remove the late remark. I spoke to them via phone and they said that they will submit a ticket to remove the late payment on my report but it is still reporting. I even paid off the entire amount. See, I am doing my best to come up with a clean slate. Please help me out.
