Fifth Third Bank
Excessive Overdraft Fees ripoff

I have an account at Fifth Third Bank. On April 21st I became over drawn by $1.10 And again on the 22nd There was another item on my account making me $12.95 overdrawn. That's two items (both debits). I went into the bank to pay the $78.95 ($12.95 plus the $66.00 for the two overdraft fees.) and bring my account up to a zero balance so I could close the account.

When I got to the bank they told me I had a negative balance of $144.95. I was then told By Ryan (a bank manager) that I had 4 overdrafts and that When you swipe the card the money is considered gone not when it posts to the account.

I went over the account ledger that they gave me and did the math "their way" there are still only 2 overdrafts. When I talked to Tammy (another manager at the bank) she told me that I was charged the overdraft fees when I used my card AND when it posted to the account. That's 2 overdraft fees for each item. (that doesn't include the $24.00 a day fees) I now have a balance of over $200.00 and it goes up by $96.00 every 4 days!

When I opened my account I had something called "matrix" removed from my account so I could not debit more that what I had in the bank. I was told by Tammy that I was crazy and they couldnt do that and then by Ryan that the system re-sets itself and puts it back on my account "in case of an emergency".

I have the account ledger that the bank gave me and e-mails to and from the bank. I would like to get this worked out But, they refuse to work with me. Deborah an executive bank manager refused to even talk to me about the problem.
