Company: FIFTH THIRD FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I am a senior citizen living on a small, XXXX  income. I entrusted Fifth Third Bank with the little money I had but they failed me. After reviewing my XXXX bank statement, I noticed there was a significant decrease in my account balance. I knew something was wrong. I went to my local Fifth Third Bank branch questioning the bank statement. I discovered that unauthorized withdrawals totaling {$30000.00} had been made from my checking account. The large transactions had taken place over the course of several days starting XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/year>, with {$10000.00} being issued in the form of a cashier 's check and another {$20000.00} being withdrawn in cash. 

To my surprise, Fifth Third Bank confirmed that they had copy of a Power of attorney, which I reviewed and confirmed the signature is not mine. I NEVER authorized this or seen the document before! With a forged falsified document an individual was able to take over my account with the help of Fifth Third Bank employees, no questions asked. This has caused me great financial harm. 

Fifth Third eventually blocked my account, and a new account was opened. I was provided copies of the withdrawal slips and transaction details for the cashiers check that were used after getting the run around. It all started to be overwhelming and extremely stressful. I was told that I had to get the documents from the XXXX, XXXX  branch because that is where the transactions occurred. I am too senior to be driving that distance not knowing where I am going. So, I had to wait until someone could take me, only to find out that was not true. I did not need to go to XXXX, XXXX! My local branch in XXXX, XXXX  has the same access as their XXXX, XXXX branch. It was if Fifth Third was not willing to help or care. I started to think the person who took my money had inside help and was trying to keep me from getting to the bottom of this. At this point, what has not happened is the money has not been put back into my bank account. I am the victim of all this. I just want to be made whole! A complaint has also been filed with the Secretary of State regarding the forged Power of Attorney. A police report was filed and I have sought legal counsel in an attempt to recover my assets from the fraudster but unfortunately, I can't afford legal services because Fifth Third gave my money away. 

The predicament I have been put in is just wrong and unjust on so many levels. I hold Fifth Third responsible as they did not safeguard my assets. Nor have proper procedures in place to prevent this from happening. I understand that at some point someone at the bank did become suspicious but even with suspicion the individual was allowed to steal my money. I am requesting Fifth Third do the right thing and credit me back the $ XXXX that was withdrawn from my account without my authorization.

Complaint narrative:
I trust this correspondence finds you in good health. I am writing to bring to your attention a troubling discrepancy within my credit report concerning late payments associated with my accounts. Upon meticulous review of my report, I have identified instances where late payments have been inaccurately recorded, adversely affecting my credit standing. Upon contacting the companies linked to these accounts, they acknowledged a fault on their part. They have committed to rectifying the error by updating and amending my accounts to accurately reflect my payment history. They attributed these inaccuracies to a system glitch that led to the erroneous reporting of late payments. It is perplexing to me that while other credit bureaus have already rectified the status of these accounts, your bureau continues to report these late payments. This disparity in reporting raises doubts regarding the verification protocols employed by your bureau to ensure the precision of reported information.
