Company: CITIZENS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.
State: RI
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Managing an account
Sub-issue: Cashing a check

Complaint:
I put a XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX up on XXXX XXXX  for sale. I received a message from a guy stating that his partner was interested in purchasing the tool but did not have a XXXX account so he gave me his cell phone number to text him regarding this. On XX/XX/XXXX I text XXXX regarding the tool and he said he was interested... I sent him pictures and he said he would buy it for {$1500.00}. He told me he was out of town and that he would mail me a certified bank cashiers check and that once the check cleared he would have a private moving company pick up the item. He then text me and told me the check had been mailed but his assistant added the cost of the moving company to my check, so he asked me to XXXX the difference once the check cleared. The total amount of the check was {$3400.00}. I received the check on XX/XX/XXXX. I then went to my bank ( Citizens Bank ) and deposited it. The clerk told me that my funds would be available the following day. " XXXX '' asked me to send him a picture of deposit slip to verify that I had done it. When the funds were available the following day I XXXX {$1900.00} to the email address he provided me and used the money that I sold XXXX for to pay my rent. He had me send a picture of the XXXX transaction to him. On XX/XX/XXXX, I checked my bank account and saw that it was negative, the amount of the check. I immediately went to a Citizens branch. I was informed that the check was fraudulent and that they would reverse the check back into my account. They also put a claim in for the {$1900.00} I had to XXXX. I received a letter stating that the claim for the {$1900.00} was denied because I authorized it. Mind you at the point of all those transactions I honestly thought that this was legit because it was a bank cashiers check. After I left my bank, I immediately went to my local police department and made a report. I kept checking my account, and it was still negative so I went back to the branch I was dealing with. I was then told that this happens all the time and that they were not going to reverse the check back to my account. I argued the that the check ran through their machine, teller told me when funds would be available, which was the following day therefore I used my portion of the check to pay rent because I have been out of a job, I took care of my mom who passed XX/XX/XXXX. The bank told me that I should have waited to use money at least a week to make sure it was a good check, yet they had the funds available for me to use the following day after I deposited it. I don't think it is fair that I thought this was an honest transaction, funds were available and they won't refund the check back into my account.

State: OK
Product: Payday loan, title loan, or personal loan
Sub-product: Payday loan
Issue: Money was taken from your bank account on the wrong day or for the wrong amount

Complaint:
I believe that MoneyLion targeted our military family, my wife is currently XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX to XXXX XXXX XXXX and I am her husband and dependent. This company extracted fees from our account at the wrong times and for different amounts than agreed upon. They caused us to incur 31 separate overdraft fees at {$36.00} each time. I attempted to cancel and my efforts were ignored. They almost caused my wife and I to divorce, honestly I still feel like we may. They have made it so difficult to cancel monthly subscriptions. I literally had to open a new checking account because of this. My previous account is still open with a negative balance of {$430.00}. I cant pay it! I dont know what else to do! 

They are still attempting to take money every month for a loan that I never received a dime from. It was a {$1000.00} loan, I paid them almost {$500.00} and havent received a XXXX of the loan. I honestly feel they have violated the Consumer Financial Protection Act and the Military Lending Act which states that, XXXX XXXX servicemembers and their dependents, including by limiting the annual percentage rate applicable to credit extended to servicemembers and their dependents to 36 %. I believe our family has surpassed this percentage rate. Through charging us more than we were told through membership fees combined with loan-interest-rate charges, this amount has exceeded the XXXX XXXX Acts 36 % cap.

Company: FIFTH THIRD FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: OH
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Fees or interest
Sub-issue: Problem with fees

Complaint:
I accepted a balance transfer offer from this Fifth Third Bank credit card on XXXX XXXX XXXX Terms of the balance transfer were for a 5 % balance transfer fee, which amounted to {$950.00} on a {$19000.00} balance transfer. The offer was for 0 % interest on the balance transfer through XXXX XXXX XXXX 

My second bill showed a {$15.00} interest charge on the fee portion of the balance transfer, which was deemed a " purchase. '' But this was not a purchase, it was a fee charged by the bank for the balance transfer. When I complained, the fee was waived. My third bill came back with a {$14.00} interest charge, at which point, a representative said the interest charge could not be waived. After escalating, that fee too was waived, but it's clear that Fifth Third intends to keep charging interest on the remaining fee portion for as long as it takes to pay off the balance transfer. 

The balance transfer fee is not a purchase, and should not be subject to the card 's purchase interest rate. No other credit card provider that offers balance transfers attempts this fraudulent practice. As it appears Fifth Third is steadfast in trying to charge interest on the balance transfer fee, I am filing this complaint.

Again, I have contacted the bureaus multiple times to review these accounts however, I have not been successful.

Company: Flagstar Bank, N.A.
State: KY
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage

Complaint:
Back in 2010 we were XXXX of the XXXX victims described in the Flagstar Bank lawsuit that has since been settled. We were strung along for months trying to get a loan modification, only to be denied. The entire time Flagstar Bank was telling us they were processing our paperwork, they were also going forward with the foreclosure. An agreement wasn't reached until the day before our home was to be auctioned off at the court house in our hometown. We ended up re-working the loan, which added back in all of the past missed payments, lawyers fee 's, etc. We had to take it because we didn't have a choice. The reason i contact you today, is because i have just learned of this settlement, and we were never notified. I understand if too much time has passed, but i just wanted to check on it. We were wronged, embarrassed, and suffered lots of sleepless nights and marital problems and we feel we were never given an apology of any type or Flagstar admitting any of it's wrongdoing. 

Thank you!
