Fifth third Bank constantly would decrease the limit from its Early Access feature without giving any prior warning and changes their regulations on line rather than having you sign a form acknowledging acceptance of its new agreement. When speaking to an Escalation specialist about revoking my early access feature and taking $700.00 dollars of my money for an overdraft of $11.64, he simply told me that the contract that I read to him, I was using semantics. His representative also scolded me with, ” we were going to take it away from our customers”. My response was, but you didn’t and you receive your money and my account is never overdrawn except 2 weeks ago with an negative $11.00. The contract states it shall be revoked if it is continuously overdrawn 10 days or more or 15 days consecutively. My account was negative for 14 days and they still revoked my early access. They are not playing by their own rules. It was very disturbing not to get an apology from the customer service representative when speaking to the Manager of the Escalation team, he defended her although he had not heard the conversation. Needless to say, I am closing my account with them pronto.
