Attempts to collect debt not owed

Debt collection: Other debt

Debt is not yours
Complaint: Hi- Comerica bank on XXXX XXXX in XXXX michigan is attempting to collect fees not owed. On XX/XX/XXXX I went into the banking branch because they had closed my savings account for exceeding the transfer limit. When i went in I closed all accounts that day, 4 accounts, 3 checking and 1 savings. I told the bank enployee I wanted to close all accounts, at that time they gave me a check for approximatly 18k from my savings and {$400.00} cash from my checking. The bank is now telling me that the account was not closed on that day because of a pending transaction for {$20.00} from 2 days prior to me coming in and that the account was not closed that day and that the tip of {$6.00} I left overdrew my account. There was no mention of a pending transaction the day I closed the accounts. I asked to close my accounts they gave me the check and the cash and i left thinking my accounts were all closed, come to find out only 3 of the 4 were closed. Because changing my auto drafts to my new bank took 7-10 business days, some of those payments still went through to the comerica account which should have been closed. Now comerica is stating I owe over {$200.00} in overdraft fees on an account that I thought was closed. The bank has stated that they can not close an account when there is a pending transaction which is fine but this should have been comunicated to me rather than make me think the account was closed knowing that this could happen. Had they notified me that the account was not closed because of a pending transaction I would have come back in a day or two to close the account. The teller cashed out my account that day knowing there was a pending transaction that did 2 things, it made my account left open and opened me up to over {$200.00} in fees. I have perfect credit and have never disputed any charges, the way this bank conducted business was deceptive and resulted in fees that I should not be responsible for. The employee at the bank clearly knew I was there to close out all accounts and failed to do so, and failed to disclose any other details. She failed to notify me that she was unable to close the account at that time.

Managing an account

Checking or savings account: Checking account

Problem using a debit or ATM card
Complaint: I have a personal checking account from Comerica Bank, and recently, my debit card ( ending in XXXX ) information was stolen and fraudulently misused online by an unauthorized person. On XX/XX/2018, I checked my Comerica Bank statement online and found out majority of my checking account balance was depleted. I quickly contacted the fraud department of Comerica Bank customer service at XXXX and reported the unauthorized transactions that were posted on my checking account between XXXX in the total amount of {$23000.00} There were total of 9 transactions from a company named XXXX, and I reported to the Fraud Department of Comerica Bank that I did not recognize the charges and all of the 9 transactions were unauthorized charges. The Comerica Bank on the phone created a fraud claim for the loss and confirmed that I will receive a letter regarding confirming provisional credit for the amount of {$23000.00} within next 10 business days. I have been waiting for the provisional credit on my checking account since I have to make payments on my end, and there has been no provisional credits applied. Every bank I dealt with, such as XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX issued a provisional credit within 3 business days when I had fraud claim before. I have visited the local Comerica Branch to confirm the provisional credit, but instead they put my account on HOLD and did not let me gain any access because they do not want to issue a provisional credit like they mentioned. I have called the Comerica Bank customer service to plead for help to issue the provisional credit since it's such a large amount, but they have yet ignored my request and put a hold on my account, which I can not even access anything, including withdrawal and deposit. Comerica Bank is holding myself as a hostage during this fraud claim process, and I feel extremely ashamed and frustrated that a large corporate bank like Comerica Bank can not issue a provisional credit like they are supposed to. Instead, whenever I contact them to process the provisional credit, they are putting me hold and not giving me any answers. They have told me that they will hold my account until everything is resolved, which Comerica have confirmed that it could take up to 60 days. Comerica Bank did not even alert myself via phone or text to make sure my account was safe from fraudulent charges. This fraudulent charges could have been prevented, if Comerica Bank had taken immediate actions and took a closer review on customer 's potential fraudulent charges. I just want to be treated fairly and in equal like every other bank customer. Someone stole my debit card information and misused it, and drained my checking account. I just want the Comerica Bank to issue me the provisional credit while they investigate this claim for next 2-3 months, because I can not pay my bills without those balance in my checking account soon. It is extremely affecting my personal life and I feel like it is unfair how Comerica Bank is treating this Fraud claim not seriously. Please help and reach out to Comerica Bank to have to properly restore and apply provisional credit for not just my account, but for all future Comerica Bank customers who go through the similar fraud claims like I do, who won't have to suffer the time and money. For your info, here are the detailed fraudulent transactions posted on my checking account at Comerica Bank. XXXX {$1500.00} XXXX {$1400.00} XXXX {$3100.00} XXXX {$1600.00} XXXX {$3100.00} XXXX {$2900.00} XXXX {$3200.00} XXXX {$3300.00} XXXX {$3300.00} FRAUD CLAIM TOTAL {$23000.00}

Complaint: My SSI benefits on loaded on the XXXX XXXX Card issued by the Social Security Office. On XX/XX/2018 I looked on my App on my phone to see if my auto insurance cleared the bank at that time I noticed it had but I also my account was XXXX short. I looked at resent tranactions and notice 8 pending charges that I did not approve, authorize or give permission for. 4 at XXXX, ,Card Purchase to XXXX XXXX and 4 at XXXX to XXXX XXXX international fee. I contacted XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/2018 while they was still pending and told them I did not authorize those charges or do I know what they are. I told them non of my bills had been paid and this wiped out my account. I was crying and very upset cause I am very careful about my card. I told them I never use my card at any outside ATM or let people use my card and I keep my card with me at all times. I have never given any information about my card to anyone. I was told to call back after they cleared my account. On XX/XX/2018 I called back as they had cleared my account and spoke with level 2 and I explained the above information to her. She canceled my card and wanted me to pay XXXX to send my card fast..I told her I had very little money in my account to spend so now your wanting XXXX when I was just robbed of XXXX, I told her to send it regular mail. Then I asked when will I get my money back that I have bills and medicine and food to buy and would like to get my grand kids a XXXX gift. She said she would send the paper work to dispute the charges and I have 10 days to fill it out and send it back. I have not received any papers and from what I read this has been a issue with XXXX XXXX. My understanding my XXXX card is protected by Regulation E and I must get the paperwork in but if XXXX XXXX does not do there job to get the paperwork to me and get it to the bank then it falls back on me as not getting the information in on time. I then again called and every time you call it tells you that your card has been sent and hangs up on you. I really need my money I have bills to pay and they charge late fees that in the end I will have to pay. I asked XXXX XXXX to stop the payments when they was pending and they said they could not. Basically we who are on XXXX have to wait on XXXX XXXX to get anything done related to our money and if we can not reach them to find out anything or they refuse to give you the money back you are still dealing with XXXX XXXX. Look at my history and my bills always gets paid. I do not make high purchases like that and I would not do it back to back purchase knowing I have other responsibilities. This are fraudulent purchases using my account. Those are not my charges and I want A IMMEDIATE PROVISIONAL CREDIT PER REGULATION E ... I was given this Number when I called XXXX XXXX about the fraudulent charges I giess it is attached to the case XXXX//From complaints I have read recent about XXXX XXXX this has been a issue lately with Fraud to other peoples card and XXXX XXXX is not giving people back there money
