Issue: Managing an account
Subissue: Problem accessing account
Consumer Complaint: For the past week, I have been trying to talk with someone at 5/3 to assist me in logging into their system to access my MB Financial account, which was closed a week prior to the merger, to obtain pdf copies of my checking account statements as well as my savings accounts. I have been on hold for over 80 mins between the 5 calls just to speak with someone ; plus an additional 15+ minutes while one clerk had to keep talking with a supervisor to figure out how their system worked. Every conversation, I go through verification and provide them with my phone number in case we get disconnected and without cause, I have been discounted 4 of 5 times ; the one time I was not I requested that the manager call me back instead of me wasting my time on hold while the clerk learned about their system. With all of my other closed accounts at numerous financial institutions from local banks to national banks to large brokerage houses, I am still able to access statements.

Consumer Complaint: Attached to this complaint are 5 hard inquires from XXXX ( 2 ), XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX and Fifth Third Bank. I have spoken with all 4 companies and none of them are willing to work with me on reporting these as unauthorized/fraudulent. I would like them removed ASAP. I have worked with both parties and neither the 3 companies or XXXX or XXXX are willing to help me get these removed. They both say back and forth call them and ask and vice versa.

Issue: Communication tactics
Subissue: You told them to stop contacting you, but they keep trying
Consumer Complaint: Fifth Third Bank ( XXXX ) has been repeatedly and persistently calling our house phone regarding my spouse 's credit card overdue balance 7 days a week right after XXXX for 5-6 times including SUNDAY. When I answered the phone they don't tell me who they are. About 4 Sundays ago, I asked them not to call on Sundays ( I think her name was XXXX ) because it is not a good day for them to call. This organization ignored my request and still calls on our house phone everyday INCLUDING Sundays. On XX/XX/XXXX, a Fifth Third Bank representative called on our house phone again so I told her that I am willing to pay on my spouse 's behalf but they refused to accept my offer. On XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX, a representative from this bank called again. I told her not to call. At XXXX, another Fifth Third Bank representative called the house. Didn't they get a message? I told them AGAIN not to call on Sundays. They are disrespecting this household and interrupting my quiet Sunday morning.

Issue: Struggling to pay your loan
Subissue: Lender trying to repossess or disable the vehicle
Consumer Complaint: XX/XX/XXXX, I was called by a fifth third bank agent letting me know I was overdue on my truck payment. I was busy at work and instructed them I would go online and submit payment asap. A couple days later I believe XX/XX/XXXX, I went to submit payment online, but they locked me out of my account. I called a fifth third representative and they informed me they could set up automated payments so I agreed and he instructed me that it was all setup and that I no longer had to worry about logging into my account online to submit payments. XX/XX/XXXX, my car got repossessed. I called the bank and they informed me that payments were not being made on the account. I questioned how that was possible and they informed me auto bill pay was never set up completely. I told her that I spoke with someone in XX/XX/XXXX to setup auto pay and she looked into their call logs and said it never happened. There was a record of me calling but nowhere in the notes did it talk about auto pay. Baffled that they had been receiving payments for months, but all of a sudden they stopped working, I then questioned why I never received a call, like the last time I missed a payment. She told me that they had called a phone number which was not mine, and never was my phone number. The person they called told them I no longer had that phone number, which I never did in the first place. I don't understand how they got that number to begin with when all of my information was submitted through the car dealership, but I guess they simply had more trust in a straangers word over the phone than to actually try to contact me. She also informed me letters were sent to my mailing address, which I never received. There has been a giant miscommunication and everytime I speak to them they read off a script and are unwilling to listen to me, saying that it was a lawful repossession that they have all the record they need, even though they weren't processing the fact that they misentered my contact information into their system. Having made no progress trying to speak to the bank over the phone, I reluctantly paid the repossession fee, in addition to the money owed on my account, just to simply get my vehicle back. The bank is unwilling to listen or communicate with me in a manner that accomplishes something for both of us. Fifth third bank told me auto payments were setup, which apparently was not done properly. They told me they went through the process of mailing me letters and trying to call, which they did not do. They had my information entered into their system and as a result of all of their errors they deemed my car repossesible.

Issue: Closing an account
Subissue: Funds not received from closed account
Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/2019 I opened a Checking account and a Savings account at Fifth Third Bank at XXXX IN branch and gave the bank teller a cashier check from XXXX XXXX for {$3300.00} to deposit into this account. On XX/XX/XXXX I received a transfer from my mom 's XXXX checking account for the amount of {$1200.00}. The fund was deposited on XX/XX/2019. A few days later, I figured out my online banking account was blocked. I called 5/3 customer service and they told me the XXXX XXXX check that I deposited was a bad check and told me to come to the branch with documentation saying that the check is valid. I thought this is ridiculous since it is a cashier check from a bank and there is no way for me to get anything that proves the validity of the check. Then I waited until XX/XX/2019 and received a letter from the bank saying that my checking account will be closed in 30 days from XX/XX/XXXX " because of recent account activity '' with no any further explanations. There was nothing I could do to get the remaining fund from my account because they did not allow me to take any money out of the account so I waited 30 days for the account to be closed and get the refund check. However, 2 weeks after the 30 day period I got nothing from the bank. I called customer service twice to asked for the refund of the remaining balance and both times they told me that they already sent out the check. I waited until yesterday ( XX/XX/2019 ) and still got nothing. I decided to call in again and this time they told me that the remaining fund in my account is intended for me and the fund was forfeited.
