Complaint Review: Fifth Third Bank

On 8-28-1998 I was attracted to a offer at Fifth Third Bank in Louisville, Ky.  The Woodland branch at 291 N. Hubbards Lane with the agreement they would give me free checking for life with no stipulations at all.     Totally free. free checks, no minimum, just free checking with out monthly service charges.  After years of receiving their offer / agreement / contract they finally told me they were doing away with the free checking and I was then having to pay with a different program they came up with.      I fell they reneged  on a promise they baited and swithed and feel they betrayed me and others that lost that deal.   I was told by Fifth Third Bank that a banking regulatory said they couldn't give totally free for life and therefore I had to pay.  I feel a contract was broken and they should honor their aggreement.
