Complaint Review: CITIZENS BANK OF PITTSBURGH

I had 580.00 in my checking account with NOTHING else going through. So, $580.00 available funds. I went in on Tuesday and cashed a postal office money order for $375.00. I then withdrew via my MAC card $200.00. Knowing that I had a balance at this point of $375.00 approximately, I ordered a pizza with my MAC card which totaled $17.00.

The theives that they are, they held my account for the $375.00 federal issued money order that I cashed, and BOUNCED me the pizza I ordered and charged me $35.00. NOWHERE, NOT ANYWHERE in their handbook says ANYTHING regarding MONEY ORDERS holding your funds. It says "CHECKS"!!!!!!!!!! They will even hold your funds up to 5 BUSINESS DAYS upon depositing a check. Now, tell me this, you write a check, and it takes 1-2 days now to clear but you deposit a check, it takes 5 days to clear. It's simply legal THEIVERY! I HATE BANKS AND INSURANCE COMPANIES! They all SUCK! Insurance companies drop you if you make a claim against the very policy you have paid for all of your life, or RAISE YOUR RATES. I just sickens me that we have to put up with such acts of criminality from businesses!
