Citizens Financial Group, Inc. Bank Account Or Service Complaint

Other bank product/service Account opening, closing, or management

Citizens Financial Group, Inc. Bank account or service department,

Other bank product/service Account opening, closing, or management Massachusetts

On - I visited my local Citizen 's Bank branch ( - MA ), brought all accounts to a Zero balance and closed my account. On - ( ish ) An automatic - payment was accepted under the closed Citizen 's account, which apparently reopened the account, unbeknownst to me. Since the account was triggered and reopened, I have not once been notified by Citizen 's Bank of any account reopening. Also, I am being penalized for not paying in the form of Fees. On -, I was assured the account was in fact closed. At no time ( either in writing or verbally ), was I, as a consumer, informed that any account activity would automatically result in account reopening. Citizen 's bank did not have the right to accept any automatic amazon


I offered to pay them in full for any charges I inadvertently incurred, so long as they waive all fees, and they refused to do so. I feel that I a victim of unlawful business practices because of Citizen 's failure to disclose to me that my account had been reopened AND inform me any activity would result in account re-opening. It is in my best interest as a consumer to PERMANENTLY close this account. However, I have no option to do so, and am being forced to pay for wrongfully incurred fees. It is my hope that you can look into this, and help rectify the situation, or even advise Citizen 's Bank as to what information they are required to disclose to any future customers who are leaving their services.
