RBS Citizens Bank Account Or Service Complaint

Checking account Problems caused by my funds being low

RBS Citizens Bank account or service department,

Checking account Problems caused by my funds being low Pennsylvania

My bank account is at Citizens Bank. I reside in -. I have had this account for - years. At first I might show an overdraft at the beginning of the year when my health deductibles had not been satisfied. Each time I was charged $35.00 to $37.00 dollars overdraft. I had my debit card management changed so that the transactions world not go through if there were insufficient funds as I was unable to tell what the bank was doing. My paycheck is electronically transferred over night on Thursday to Friday. I had my mortgage payment bill pay set to go out the day I got paid for years and never had a problem. Last year I decided to link my savings account to the checking account to decrease the overdraft amount from $ - to $6.00 to ovoid the - quarter phenomenon. Well, I began to bounce checks on a regular basis including the mortgage payment which I knew was traditionally paid on payday. I called the bank and got some story about the items being entered as they come in and the payment must have been entered first. Recently, I paid a painter $400.00. I told him the check will be good the next day on Friday after I get paid. Citizens bounced the check and something like that had never occurred prior to hooking the savings account to the checking. I have a long history of accounts at -, - - and an - - - and never bounced checks because of careful planning. I am unable to plan payments anymore at Citizen 's bank nor am I able to track what the Bank is doing because my web access does not show that. Thus, they are enabled to shift income and payments to overdraft my account. For hard working, responsible individuals, such as myself, this makes it impossible to manage a budget and it smacks of thievery on Citizens Bank 's part. Can you assist?
