Stop payment/ Overdraft fee
I accidently pressed the wrong button online and charged $384 to my checking account. I immediately called the company i was paying a bill for and they told me to call the bank and order a stop payment. I did that. I asked the representative on the phone if the stop payment would actually stop the payment from posting to my account and causing it to overdraft. She said Yes. I also asked her if the stoppayment would be effective on the same day i ordered it, she said yes. So i paid $25 and ordered the stop payment. The following business day i check my account, and find that not only had Citizens bank, not stopped the payment, they over drew my account and charged me $78. Also, since i had made multiple online payments that day, when they posted to my account the bank charged me an additional $78. Then after all those charges, the stop payment kicked and the bank reversed the charge but it didnt make a difference. So now i owe the bank $156, even though i paid them $25 to avoid those charges.
But the story doesnt end there. I called the bank to inquire about the charges and they claim that they were valid because the representative wrote in her notes that she explained everything to me. So immediately requested that they pull the tapes. About 2 1/2 weeks later i still did hear from them about what the tapes said. so i called them back. This time the represetative apologized for the supervisor not contacting me and the other representative one giving me the wrong information but he couldnt help me. He said that they were going to go by the notes that the representative took and that there was no need to pull the tapes.
I tell you, this bank is shameless, i am a college student struggling to make ends meet and the bank takes my money with no mercy. I can't wait fot them to go under. I know that i am not the first or the last person for this to happen to and eventually the bank is going to regret scamming so many customers.

Don't use this bank!!!!!
I have more complaints with this bank than I have time to list! There is absolutely no customer loyalty whatsoever, and the way they configure overdraft charges should be illegal. They reconfigure post dates to overdraw accounts so it's impossible to tell when you're going to be charged overdraft fees (at $78 a pop!). I've begged them not to allow the "convenience" of allowing unexpected transactions to go through if there is not enough money in the account but they say it's company policy to allow every transaction to post INDEFINITELY, charging fees on every one. I check my balance every morning online to stay on top of things, but it doesn't matter. If a company with a recurring debit puts a notice in that funds will be withdrawn in 3 days, they overdraw my account the day that notice is sent!! So, say it's the 17th and funds are scheduled to be withdrawn on the 20th, if I don't have that money in at the time the notice is made on the 17th, I'm overdrawn...even though the actual funds aren't taken until the 20th! There is just soooooooo much more to say, but it's too frustrating to recount everything, so, bottom line, anyone looking to open up a new account, PLEASE reconsider!!!.

posting vs clearing
Can someone explain to me how a check can show up on your on line banking and the next day it didn't clear. I was told that it was posted to my account on 04/07 but it didn't clear until 4/8 and all the money was switched around and I had a bounced check. They should not be showing information that isn't actual. That gives a false report. I go back and think I made an error and correct my check book to match. Now I have 5 insufficient funds transactions. Of course, there is no way to go back to yesterday's screen because they take out and switch things around. I am so out of that bank.

Money due, poor srvice
My experience with Citizens has been a total nightmare -don't even think about choosing them for any banking business. I paid off my car loan and three weeks later they refunded the overpayment amont which I deposited. Lo and behold they put a stop payment on the check they owed me!
When I called to inquire I was advised to call back in 24 to 48 hours for a response.
I was unable to speak to a manager, they aren't able to get responses any faster and imagine they wanted me to call them. They are the worst. Stay away!

Overdraft Fees
I messed up this week. I deposited a check on Saturday thinking it was going to clear on Monday but forgeting that Monday was a holiday and a non-banking day. Well, after paying eleven bills online I found myself with eleven overdraft charges on Wednesday. That's $429 that I gave to Citizens bank all because I forgot my check wouldn't clear until after the holiday. Had my check cleared I would have had more than enough to clear my bills but this did not matter to anyone I spoke with. It seems to me their should be a cap on how many overdraft charges a bank can give for this type of mistake. Eleven!!!

bogus fees
when i check account online shows a balance of 3, 36 so i use atm card for gas and spend 3.00 latrr that day i check balance as i was waiting for my direct deposit to hiti checked balance all day the next morning i check and my direct deposit was there minus a 39 dollar fee and then they show a 41c fee that mysteriously show as if it was taken out before the 3 dollar atm debit from gas, so i went to the bank and fought that fee and another fee which after a few days they agreed to give me back, so the next day i check account and it shows the 2 39 dollar fees deposited so i continue to use debit card and make 6 or 7 small transactions then the next day i go to citizens to make 200 dollar deposit and my reciept shows balance -35 dollars so i ask and bank says there fees werent deposited till the following day which is total bs as i called the number on atm card to check balance and showed additional 78 dollars which is exactly the amount of 2 overdraft fees now my account stands with almost 700 dollars in overdraft fees which i will never be able to come back from this is unfair and they said unless i have proof theres nothing i can do

Money hungry
I used to work at Citizens bank in sales. I had to quit because I felt like a hippocrit. Well, first of all, they don't tell you that when you're sitting down at the desk opening an account that they sign you up for rewards that cost you monthly fees out of your account. They aslo don't telly ou that if you want images on your bank statements of checks that it will cost you $3.00 per month. You also won't know when the money will be deducted out of your account, because if you don't have the $3 bucks, you will go negative and be charged! Also, I feel bad for those who get paid every two weeks and don't check their accounts that often. You can be negative .01 and be charged. Also, if you have a social security check made payable to you for your child, you have to open a rep payee account titled the same way the check is titled. Also, they won't tell you that you need $50 bucks to open the checking account. Also, if you want to open an account and your address does not match what's in the computer, with usps then you have to go back home and get a utility bill with your name and address and they need to document it with the acct number and statement period...How would anyone know this before they got there? There is no way. Citizens bank sucks. Also, they apply you for a credit card when they are asking you all of these wuestions, and run your credit once for the credit card and another for the checking account which brings your score down. Often, they don't tell you they are applying you for a credit card, but if you do get pre-approved, they wil say, "OMG you jsut got approved for our Citizens Bank Credit Card"..Get it?I'm telling you this bank is whacko..Stick with the small banks in the areas. They're not out for profit, they're out to keep customers!!!
