FIFTH THIRD BANK
Ft Lauderdale, Florida
United States

FIFTH THIRD BANK IS A RIPOFF. I REFINANCED WITH THEM IN THE MIDDLOF 2008. I SENT MY PAYMENT IN BY MAIL ON THE FIRST OF THIS MONTH, FEB 2009, AND LAST WEEK I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL AND LETTER STATING THAT THE PAYMENT WAS NOT RECEIVED. I TOLD THEM THAT I MAILED THE PAYMENT AND THEY BLAMED ON THE MAIL SERVICE. OVER THE YEARS, MY PAYMENT HAS NEVER GOT LOST IN THE MAIL WITH ANY OTHER BANK. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND MY PAYMENT BY MAIL. AS INSTRUCTED BY THEM I MADE A SECOND PAYMENT AT A LOCAL FIFTH THIRD BANK, THIS TIME WITH A LATE FEE. THAT PAYMENT WAS POSTED ON THE NEXT DAY. YESTERDAY THEY DEPOSITED THE ORIGINAL CHECK THAT WAS SENT IN THE MAIL BECAUSE I NOTICE THAT MY BANK, WHERE MY CHECKING ACCOUNT RESIDES, HAS RETURNED THE CHECK DUE TO INSUFFICIENT FUNDS. DUE TO THEIR NEGLIGENCE OR WITHOLDING MY MAIL ON PURPOSE, I HAD TO PAY LATE TO THEM AND NOW I HAVE TO PAY A FEE TO MY BANK FOR INSUFFICENT FUNDS BECAUSE THEY TRIED TO GET TWO PAYMENTS FOR THE SAME MONTH OUT OF ME. NEXT MONTH I AM MAKING THE PAYMENT IN PERSON AS I DO NOT TRUST FIFTH THIRD BANK. I AM GETTING OUT OF THIS AS SOON AS I GET THE OPPORTUNITY. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS BANK.
