Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low — Overdrafts and overdraft fees
Company: FIFTH THIRD FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
CFPB Complaint Summary Fifth Third Bank I am filing this complaint to formally report Fifth Third Banks continued unfair, deceptive, and inconsistent practices in the handling of my personal checking account and related financial products. Despite multiple attempts to resolve these issues directly with the bank, I have received no meaningful resolution. 

Summary of Issues : Improper Overdraft/NSF Fees During Fee-Free Period : My account was downgraded from Preferred to Momentum Checking without notice or consent. As a result, I lost access to the 90-day fee-free window for overdraft/NSF charges, despite marketing and product terms indicating I was eligible. I was charged hundreds of dollars in fees during this period.

Refusal to Link Backup Deposit Account : I repeatedly asked to link a backup deposit account ( my own money ) as overdraft protection, but Fifth Third refused due to my overdraft history. This contributed directly to additional NSF/overdraft charges.

Denied Access to Mobile Check Deposit : In XX/XX/XXXX, I discovered that mobile deposit was disabled, also due to overdraft history, without warning. This again increased the likelihood of overdrafts. 

XXXX XXXX : I relied on Fifth Thirds XXXX service ( an advance-on-deposit feature ) and paid over {$570.00} in fees since XX/XX/XXXX. In late XX/XX/XXXX, the feature was suddenly removed with no warning or explanation, despite having been previously used responsibly. The program 's fine print does not clearly disclose conditions for revocation. 

Promotional Bonus Denied : I was promised a {$270.00} ( later raised to {$300.00} ) new customer bonus if I met certain criteria. I did meet them and retained copies of promotional emails and qualifying direct deposits, but the bonus was denied without adequate explanation.

Unauthorized Email Change : In XX/XX/XXXX, Fifth Third changed the email address associated with my account without my consent. I only found out after receiving confirmation at a different email address. This raises serious data security and privacy concerns. 

Excessive Fees : In total, I was charged {$1000.00} in NSF fees in XXXX, {$2000.00} in XXXX, and {$660.00} in the first half of XXXX, most of which occurred after Fifth Third blocked access to features that would have helped avoid the fees. 

Lack of Documentation and Transparency : I received no written confirmation of the account downgrade or of changes to product features like XXXX, nor any timely notices about denied features. I also received only partial refunds for monthly debit card fees charged over 28 months. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
