Issue: Managing an account — Deposits and withdrawals
Company: FIFTH THIRD FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I went to the Fifth Third branch located at XXXX XXXX XXXX with my first payroll check from XXXX XXXX. The check amount was XXXX and when I went to deposit it, the check was scanned in Check XXXX and flagged as being drawn on an account that has had checks returned in the past. I explained that I needed immediate access to the funds in order to move into a new apartment and avoid being homeless. I was told that if I opened a new account ( I had an existing prepaid " express '' account ) that my funds would be available on the next business day which was Monday. On Saturday, a friend of mine who works at a global investment bank and was able to come with me explained I should have been informed that I could cash the check at the bank it was drawn on. Thankfully, he also allowed me and my girlfriend to stay in his living room for a week. I was encouraged to open an account this applying the Reg CC new account exception, and my check was put on hold until XX/XX/XXXX. 

On Monday the XX/XX/XXXX, I went back to the bank and was informed of the hold and that it would be removed. XXXX who had opened the unnecessary new account ostensibly to hit her new account opening quota was unavailable and XXXX told me he do nothing. As the week progressed between the generosity of my host and my girlfriends tips we managed to eat and survive. On Friday the XX/XX/XXXX I went in again and the regional manager was there. They said that the hold would be lifted. It was not. I returned again Saturday the XX/XX/XXXX and was told to wait until the XX/XX/XXXX. I have now been homeless and penniless for 10 days. 

I am most concerned that I was not told that I could cash the check at the issuing bank which was a few blocks away and that, like XXXX XXXX, I was forced to open an account I did not want or need. There is no way the check did not clear and any financial institution with any sort of reconciliation team would have lifted the hold when the check cleared, likely Wednesday. I 'm trying to get my life in order after a very challenging couple of years and without the support of friends I could have been homeless or ended up dead in a ditch, god knows what else. This has been the most stressful and one of  the most challenging experiences of my life. Do n't bank with Fifth Third.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Citi double cash offered me an interest free balance transfer. 

I used the offer on XXXX XXXX for a balance transfer of {$1900.00}, transfer fee was {$59.00}. 
My purchase for that billing period was {$2300.00}. 
My statement has a balance of {$4300.00} ( including transferred balance and transfer fee ). 

I paid {$2500.00}, which is more than my purchase for the month, and cover some of the transferred balance. 

On XXXX XXXX, I received the new statement, which charged me {$16.00} as " interest on purchase '', even though as I mentioned above, I paid more than my purchase for last billing cycle. 

I called Citi and they said they will credit my interest back. However, They can not tell me where the problem was and why they fraudulently charged interest on the balance from " no interest balance transfer ''.

Company: LJ Ross Associates
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
My one and only encounter with LJ Ross Associates : On XX/XX/XXXX my credit score suddenly dropped 150 points from XXXX to XXXX. Research showed this was due to a collection report filed by LJ Ross. Upon calling LJ Ross, it proved difficult to obtain information on the fraudulent report. After being transferred to a supervisor who only identified himself as " XXXX '' I discovered the alleged creditor was XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

I called XXXX to inquire about the problem and they told me there was a charge to my account over 4 years past the point I had sold the property and asked them to cancel the account. XXXX said they would correct the clerical error and show my account closed in XX/XX/XXXX, thus invalidating the XX/XX/XXXX charge. 

The issue here is LJ Ross ' tactics to contact me. In lieu of sending a letter or making a phone call, they elected to obtain my immediate and undivided attention by reporting the fraudulent collection to XXXX, XXXX and XXXX. Perhaps legal, but this action is highly unethical. Their utility company clients engage their services under the presumption of adding some value to the process. What 's the value of libeling a former customer who has paid XXXX over {$50000.00} in the course of 24 years?
