    Fifth Third Bank / 53.com — Customer Service

    I was at your banking location on June 9th on Hamilton Ave located in Columbus, OH. I went to go get a document notarized as I have been customer for years. After waiting for over 45 minutes this gentleman came out and told me to sit down in the lobby area close to his office and sign the document. I told him I'd rather not do not that and had a couple of questions. I thought a notarized document was to be signed in front of the notary. That made me feel very uncomfortable. He then instructed me to sit in a chair in the lobby area and he went back to his office. When he came out to get me he told me he could see me now, never introduced himself or anything. I asked him my question and he attempted to belittle me as he read it out loud. I explained that I already initialed all those items above, no response so I initialed it again and then signed it. Prior to leaving I then asked him his name and he told him to have a good evening. He said his name was Anthony. He really seemed very disinterested in helping me, not customer service material that's for sure. Husband and I will not be going back to that local branch again. We are grateful that we didn't open up an IRA or put our retirement with your bank. We like to be treated respectfully as most folks do. We are actually thinking of transferring our banking accounts that we keep with your bank to a different bank, but we also understand one can have a bad day or that one sour apple doesn't spoil the entire basket full. Thank you, Betty Smith

      Fifth Third Bank / 53.com — Car loans

      I bank through 53 bank, I have a car loan through this company and my bill is due on the first with a ten day grace period. After the 2nd of the month they will call my phone starting at 8am and call every hour on the hour until they reach some one. In the state I live in a debt collector can only call 3 times in a 24 hour period. When I proceed to tell them I do not want them calling me about my loan period or any calls regarding my account they respond with we will continue all calls unless you certify mail us a cease letter which is ALSO ILLEGAL to ask for once a consumer has exercised their right to have all calls to their home and place of employment to stop. In Minnesota a consumer simply has to say Stop calling me. And the Calls are to stop immediately. Which they do not. I then told them I would seek legal council to which they replied "sir we are a bank we also have lawyers too!"

        Fifth Third Bank / 53.com — Account problem

        Had a issue with check returned because of Husband not on account. Unbelievable! Was told really yelled at by supervisor to go somewhere else to cash it! totally dismissed and actually ridiculed by this women. Not the 1st time something like this has happened. That's why husband not on this account in 1st place.
        We've had 2mortgages and several car loans with them; beside checking and savings. we were ready to roll over a 401k with them. they were very convenient, being right down street. But that has worn out also.
        All funds will be transferred this week and if you deal with them, DON"T!

              Fifth Third Bank / 53.com — Horrendous customer service and they do not honor their promotions

              This bank has the worst customer service I've ever experienced in 40 years. They ​mailed me a $550 bonus promotion which they refuse to fully honor, and they do not answer any calls or return emails - ever.

              I tried to contact my local branch in Niles, IL for many months through calls and email. I even asked their customer service to request a call back from the branch manager, Elvia Ontiveros, several times but never heard back. The only way I was able to speak with her was by them directly connecting me after not being able to reach her either.

              She claimed my account had fallen below the $15K necessary for the bonus for "several days", when in truth there was a single unauthorized charge for $60 that was reversed on the same day. Despite the instant reversal, they posted it as the next day and have continued to use that as the sole excuse for not honoring their promotion - despite leaving $15K in a checking account for over 16 months straight with zero interest. The manager promised she'd "research" it, but never got back after months of additional calls and emails. She also blamed her own lack of response on her employees...which is really unprofessional.

              When I complained about this through social media, I was finally called back by the regional manager, Garrett Larkin, who instead of listening to me, just asserted the same mistruths his manager told him, without any concern for what I had to say, or that the branch had not been answering calls or emails for months. He only seemed to want to debate and talk over me, even yelling at me.

              In short, this is the most unprofessional and worst banking experience I've had in over 40 years. Am I alone in this? No, just read the other complaints here and all over the internet.

              It's also important to note that the U.S. government is suing Fifth Third for predatory practices like the above:

              Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection v. Fifth Third Bank

              "On March 9, 2020 the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) filed a suit alleging Fifth Third took unauthorized actions, specifically: opening deposit accounts in consumers' names; transferring funds from consumers' existing accounts to new, improperly opened accounts; issuing credit cards; enrolling consumers in online-banking services; and opening lines of credit on consumers' accounts. The actions are alleged to be a result of a "cross-sell" strategy to increase the total number of products and services the business provides to existing customers."

                Fifth Third Bank / 53.com — Auto loan welcome letter

                Dealer got the auto loan from 53 bank what I see from my credit report but I did not receive a welcome mail including account information, payment details etc. from the 53 bank. I tried to reach call center to get the account information and make my payment but it is always impossible to reach a real person representative without account information what automatic service wants you put SSN and account information to reach a real person. At the end I was not able to make payment to 53 banks and they informed the creditor for late payment. I want the 53 bank send me my account information that I can make my payment, remove this late payment from my credit that I have never ever made a late payment and close this complaint as soon as possible.

                  Fifth Third Bank / 53.com — Mortgage Refinance Refund amount

                  I recently applied for a mortgage refinance. I was unsatisfied with the proposed plans, and chose not to pursue the refinance.

                  I was instructed by my consultant, that the processing fee was refundable. I wish to now receive a refund of those monies, and my consultant is stating that he told me the fee was nonrefundable. I never received any documentation stating this, nor was I ever told the process fee was nonrefundable. This is completely unethical. I tried to escalate to my consultant's manager, but receive no responses to multiple inquiries.

                  My consultants Name: Jeffery Hogue
                  My consultants Manager: Steve A. Bostater

                  I need my monies refunded immediately.

I've had a phone interview with a very nice lady in south Holland IL named Lisa. we have talked on a daily since the loan came back out but for some reason I'm not receiving the application link to my email. she cant seem to figure this out so I'm thinking it could be handled another way.

                      Fifth Third Bank — I feel my mortgage is being held up from closing and I can't get an answer from anyone why!

                      I apply for a refi on my Mortgage June of 2020. I was told it would take 6 months, then 6 months, it been 8 months going on 9 months. This loan could have been closed probably in November. It could have been closed in December for sure, it could have been this week in January. I was told that they would have a closing date. today, Janurary 13th, no date. I've called Amy, who I'm doing the loan with everyday. I sure she is doing everything she can to close this loan. I thing the Underwrites are sitting on my loan, for what ever reason. I talk to Donald Hook, The Mortgage Manager I think around the last of November and I've call him several times, sent him an E-mail and never received a call back. This is Rediculous. I want this loan closed. My name is Rawleigh Chandler. Phone number is [protected].

                          Every time I try to use this service to send money electronically I get a security error stating I need to call their support number for help during business hours. Support tells me I just need to keep calling to correct this, which unacceptable to me. Short of switching banks, which is pretty disruptive, I don't see any solution. Very poor customer service.

                            This entire process has been completely unacceptable and unsatisfactory. I would like to speak to supervisors and report such utter incompetence.

                            Please conduct an investigation on Kevin Sabol and reprimand him, fire him or demote him as necessary.
                            Becoming a customer with Fifth Third bank was a huge mistake and I will be telling my friends and family about this process.

                              Why is my account blocked. Attempted to pay a bill — was referred to customer service.

                              Granted, this is the weekend. I wish I would have been advised that robots are operating the online chats.

                              I received a response to questions, maybe, every 10-15 minutes.

                              Issue was never resolved.

                              My session timed out twice. Now, it will no longer accept my user id or password.
