Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low — Overdrafts and overdraft fees
Company: CITIZENS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Citizens Bank 's Unconscionable Overdraft Fees. 

I am writing with a sense of deep frustration and anger that I can no longer contain. The unabated exploitation of hardworking Americans by Citizens Bank through their egregious overdraft fees has reached a level of absurdity that can not be ignored any longer. It is nothing short of daylight robbery that this institution is profiting off the struggles of the middle class, raking in millions of dollars daily while driving families further into financial distress. 

Citizens Bank 's excessive overdraft fees have evolved into a predatory scheme that ensnares unsuspecting customers in a vicious cycle of debt. These fees have become virtually unavoidable, with the bank strategically manipulating transactions to maximize overdraft charges and ensuring that the very people they are supposed to serve remain trapped in a cycle of financial despair. 

Adding insult to injury, the interest rates on these short-term loans have soared to the unthinkable tune of over 1000 %. It's unfathomable that in a nation that prides itself on protecting consumer rights, a financial institution can openly engage in such usurious practices without facing severe repercussions. 

It is the duty of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to put an end to this insidious exploitation. The very purpose of your existence is to safeguard consumers from exactly these kinds of predatory practices. The fact that Citizens Bank has been allowed to continue preying on the most vulnerable members of our society is an affront to the principles of fairness, justice, and equality. 

I implore the CFPB to take immediate and drastic action against Citizens Bank. Enough is enough. The middle class, the backbone of our economy, is being bled dry, while the bank 's coffers swell with ill-gotten gains. I demand that you investigate, regulate, and impose strict penalties on Citizens Bank for their shameless abuse of power and their callous disregard for the financial well-being of everyday Americans. 

If the CFPB fails to act decisively in this matter, it would be a XXXX  indictment of your organization 's commitment to protecting consumers. The time for action is now. Let 's put an end to this modern-day highway robbery and restore a semblance of justice and fairness to the financial landscape.

Complaint narrative:
To rebuild my credit rating i aquired a secured credit card through citti bank. I made on time payments for years they never gave me an actual credit card ( that's insulting ) and in turn later found out they were charging monthly fees for a secured credit card! Borrowing from my own money. None of the money they say i owe is anything i used but all fees. They closed the account before i could. saying i owed this full balance of {$400.00} some dollars on a secured credit card of {$300.00}. I had to call them to tell them that it was secured credit card of XXXX to get the balance lowered. Check them out! They hate me treated me like garbage from the beginning and they truly dont deserve the money they say i do that is all fees. They are sending me a new bill each month with a higher balance when i have told them i dont owe them anything. I say that is harrassment. How are they increasing my balance when the account is closed.
