Fifth Third Bank Bank Account Or Service Complaint

Checking account Account opening, closing, or management

Fifth Third Bank Bank account or service department,

Checking account Account opening, closing, or management Florida

On - -, 2015 Fifth Third closed my checking account without notifying me. On - -, I went on line to check my balance and seen the account closed. I Called the - office in - Florida immediately, spoke to -, asked him why the account was closed and he said they did not want my business. I told him I would pick up the check, he said I could not pick up check, it was mailed to me on - -. On - - I called and spoke to -, told him I still did not receive the check and he said it would take 5-7 business days for me to get the check in the mail. On - - I called him again to tell him I did not receive the check and he said to give it a couple more days. I told him to just cancel the check and write me a new check and I would pick it up. He said he could not do that and I have to wait to receive the check. I told him it does not take 10 days for a check to be delivered by the post office. They


and they could tell me exactly who closed it and where the check is. Customer service said I have to deal with the branch that closed the account, no one else can help me. I emailed customer service - times and no one ever responded, though their email to me said they would get in touch with me within 24 hours of receiving my email. I left message for the manager to call me and never heard back. As the attachment shows it is alot of money they are holding of mine. - 's last remarks to me were if he has to cancel the check it is a very hard and long process and it could take months to do that, so I better just wait for this check unless I want to wait at least 2 months more before I get a replacement check. They are being unreasonable and I know it does not take this long to get my check. I have talked to several other banks in town and they do not believe the way fifth third is handling this. Other banks I have talked to say, when they close an account they notify the customer and let them come in and get their money. When I mentioned this to -, he said they always close accounts this way. I never received a certified letter from fifth third as - states was sent to me. When I asked him to prove who signed for it, they would have it on file, he said he could not locate this information.
