Company: CITIZENS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
I had multiple successful attempts to access my checking accounts and withdraw funds by fraudsters. Every time I have to proactively manage and contact Citizens, they were slow to respond and resolve the issue. The accounts were placed XXXX negative balance because of this causing other legitimate payments to be returned due to insufficient funds and they took more than 10 business days to return the stolen funds from my accounts causing me to pay NSF fees and late fees to my other providers and also have utilities out into shutoff because of returned fees. 

I ended up switching banks due to their processes. They then took my negative balance which were as a result of their own fees and sent me to collection and put note on my credit report which caused me to be unable to open new accounts at other financial institutions until I paid citizens which i ended up doing. 

Horrible experience.

Complaint narrative:
I downloaded an app from the XXXX XXXX. This app promised a watch face for {$1.00}, a purchase inside. I bought the watch face but the app didn't work so I deleted the app. Turns out this app also signed me up for a monthly withdrawal of {$30.00} from my checking account because I used XXXX XXXX connected with my bank to pay for the {$1.00}. I went to dispute this with XXXX but the app no longer existed in the store and turns out it was removed due to fraud. 
So I went to the website of said app. XXXX XXXX XXXX  and tried to cancel every single month and they would keep asking me to fill out a form that went nowhere and didn't cancel. 
So I reached out to USAA to dispute the charges and put a pause on this vendor. They forced me get a new card but told me I didn't have enough proof that I tried to cancel. I described that I tried to cancel via website/App Store/email to no avail. I told them dates of the attempts and they refused to return the disputed charges. 
This app comes from XXXX and every app gets taken down by XXXX and a new one pops up with lots of complaints until it is also shut down again but seems XXXX isn't doing due diligence to keep it off their store.
