Checking account Using a debit or ATM card Pennsylvania

I found fraudulent charges on my checking account twice, citizens bank did not catch these transactions. After filing the paperwork to have them investigate these charges and opening a new bank account with citizens bank they placed the compromised account in " credit only '' status and the account had a - balance, it was suppose to close 7 days later. This was -/-/2016, today is -/-/2016 and citizens bank informed me I owe them $140.00 that has since been withdrawn/overdrawn. How did this happen? If it was at - dollars, did bank fees cause this? More fraudulent charges? They ca n't tell me why, they are '' looking into it ''. To add insult to injury, I received a new debit card with the chip in the mail which I called to activate because it would n't work at an ATM. Customer service assured me that they activated the card. So I go grocery shopping and go to pay and the " transaction is not approved ''. I could n't use the new debit card as a credit or debit card. After 1.5 hours on the phone with - different customer service representatives they believed I would not have


service that is what the problem is. I do n't believe any of them. And citizens bank is still claiming I owe them $140.00 in order to close the other bank account. Is n't a bank suppose to protect your money and help their customers? I feel like between the - branch that originally " closed '' my compromised account and card services that issued me a new debit card for an inactive, compromised and closed account what are they doing??? I do n't make a lot of money and yet they keep taking more and - me!!! I have lost all faith in this institution and ca n't wait until the last couple of bills I paid clear so I can CLOSE my account and get out of there. I wonder how much money they take from people that are n't paying attention. These people are crooks and this is a crime! Citizens bank is awful, do not bank with this company!!!!!! There are so many banks out there, I am sure I can find one that is willing to protect their customers.
