My father originally had his checking account with First Charter Bank until it changed to Fifth Third. It seems we have overdraft fees taken out every month now! This bank is driving me insane!!! I cannot get a straight answer about the fees, but I know something is badly askew here!!! I'm not a damn fool!! After switching over to Fifth Third, my father, who was getting early dementia, could not read, and so I know he was not informed about the "OUTRAGEOUS" ($8.00 per day now) overdraft fees associated with having an account at this bank. I took over as Power of Attorney last year and I did not know this either. These people are THIEVES... plain and simple. I am an intelligent person, yet I CANNOT COMPREHEND ANY OF THIS!!! Dates when I knew I had money in the account and made a purchase, and then come up with overdraft fees. Most times I didn't know it until days later when it was so damn high I could not pay it!! This bank is taking food out of my child's mouth!! I am also on disability, and I feel that I can sue for exploitation of a disabled adult on both my, and my father's behalf. There's just so much crap going on it's difficult to wrap my brain around it!! I've never seen anything like it! I say...every Fifth Third customer here who has lodged a complaint...WE SHOULD INITIATE A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST FIFTH THIRD BANK!!! What they are doing is... "STEALING OUR MONEY AND MAKINNG IT LOOK AS THOUGH WE ARE JUST OUT THERE BOUNCING CHECKS ALL OVER THE PLACE. I am a consumer writer and am getting ready to come down hard on this bank via complaints to the N.C. Banking Commission, and I am also going to the federal level. If there is "ANYONE HERE" who has the know-how to get a class action law suit going against this bank, please, please, and PLEASE contact me A.S.A.P. at: [email protected]
Let's all get together and do something about what this institution is doing to us and many many others!!
