Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low — Overdrafts and overdraft fees
Company: FIFTH THIRD FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I made deposits on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX to cover purchases I was about to make.

On each of the occasions above the bank processed an overdraft transfer resulting in an overage that matched the transfer that I made and then processed a {$12.00} handling fee.

I discussed the issues with the bank on each occasion and was told that the bank process the transfer and fees on a different schedule from deposits. The fees are assessed before deposits are taken into account so it didn't matter if a made a deposit and it showed in my balance before the purchase because the bank did not look at the current when the fee was assessed and refused to refund the fees. This has been going on for months.

I believe most folks would not complain or even notice but I am very aware of my balance as this company has a long history of playing games with fees, however in the past they have been good about refunding. So I have not left. I have been with this bank for a very long time and they do very questionable things with their fees.

I would like my fees refunded but also believe something needs to be done to reign in the questionable practices at this bank it has gone on too long and the employee on my case was beligerant about their right to charge me whatever they want even if it is clearly incorrect.

After looking at my account the employee agreed that there was an error but said policy was not to refund fees even if they were incorrect XXXX

I called to make my payment and they told me that if I didnt pay {$200.00} that they were going to garnish my checks I paid the {$200.00} and the lady told me next month when you call youll be paying {$50.00} and you owe {$160.00} was my remaining balance as of XXXX.
