Fifth Third Bank Fifth Third: IF YOU WANT A 10 MISTAKE TO BECOME A $300 PROBLEM Royal Oak Michigan
I have been with 5/3 Bank for several years. I had a savings account with them so when I would have the occasional overdraft it would just pull it out of my savings and charge me a $9 fee. Well I recently had to close my savings account because I could no longer afford to keep it open, and by doing this the true nature of 5/3 was revealed.
I now know that 1 overdraft can s****.>
It's 1 thing to be ripped off by an individual I can fight but a large corporation ripping off the small people is truly saddening. I'm not even angry anymore. I am just sad to know how many people there are like me who have fallen on hard times and can have a 10 mistake turn into a $300 catastrophe
Don't do business with 5/3 bank.

But you should have known that before from looking st your statements. You set up a savings account so you could be a habitual overdrafter but never cared how much you did it.
'I now see that I am being punished for temporally being a have not.'
No, you're being punished for being an idiot and spending more than you have. Millions of 'have nots' have no troubles at all.
'This intelligent "automatic system" holds the largest withdrawal so then can charge you separate fees on the smaller withdrawals.'
No, you're not that special that they are going to single just you out. It's when the MERCHANT decides they are going to request actual payment. And since you spent that money, you should have marked it in your register as spent. Did you really think they weren't going to claim what is legally theirs?
