Fifth Third Financial Corporation Credit Card Complaint

Balance transfer

Fifth Third Financial Corporation Credit card department,

Balance transfer Georgia

I received a credit card offer in the mail and I went online to apply. The application also had a space to enter balance transfers. I put in - cards info. After completing all I got was I will be a response in the mail. When I received my card there was NOTHING saying anything about the transfers I entered.Searching the letter with my credit card attached, I ca n't find what credit limit they gave me. When I see that it 's - which would not cover both transfers after realizing the transfer fees would put me over my limit. They had enough information to know what limit I needed. I had no clue that the info on my card was being processed as I thought it was part of the application to determine eligibility and limit. I called after receiving the card and asked that only - of the cards be transferred. I gave all the info to process my highest interest card.A couple of days later I emailed asking why the transfer was not showing up. It took 3 days to finally get a human on the phone. I was asking about the transfer I called in.


that I talked with a VERY rude guy named -. He said the transfer I called in was no good and would not be processed. He kept going through their legal jumble about it takes 2-4 weeks to process.I have done transfers before and they only take a1-2 days.I gave him the info and sure enough it was done in less that 48 hours my cc was paid. BUT - giving me wrong info told me to keep making payments, so I made the payment the same daY to make sure it was paid. This caused 2 payments to go thru and I now overpaid the bank. In the mean time the 2nd transfer I put on the app gets processed with out my knowledge and forces me to be over my credit limit. They intentionally give false and misleading info and failed to give me enough credit to cover the transfers I put on the app. I do not find this out untill after it 's done and too late.I tried to get them to cancel the 2nd transfer but they refused. In my opinion they have committed fraud. The charges have put me over my credit limit and subject to penalties which include loosing the zero % offer that I signed up for.
