FirstMerit Bank Consumer Loan Complaint

Vehicle loan Managing the loan or lease

FirstMerit Bank Consumer Loan department,

Vehicle loan Managing the loan or lease Ohio

First merit only allows method of payment limited to those that do not have a checking account with them. In the beginning of the loan i opened a checking account which was closed due to i did not always use the account. I opened just so i had a way to make payments online. They offered a $25.00 bonus check for opening a new account which i was not allowed to receive seeing that my account closed. Now i have to submit my payment by cash only i went in on - to make a payment with $440.00 for my payment of $430.00. The clerk misplaced or took $200.00 of my payment making me late for the month payment. Advising the bank of the issue they proceeded to tell me that because of the way i look i am not trustworthy. To me this is not the proper way you treat customers and i have advised everyone to stay away from this bank. I feel like i was discriminated against due to the fact that i was a single girl that wears hoodies and jeans and not because i did not go into the bank with a suit on or dress.
