Revdex.com: I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted] , and have determined that this does not resolve my complaintA couple things are wrong with this responseFirst off, and most glaringly, I was never informed of any account length restrictions, nor was that ever brought up as a possible explanation as to why my payments were being reversedSecond, I was explicitly told by the Fifth Third Bank's collection department that I owed over $to bring my account to currentIt wasn't until I called back later that I was told that I didn't actually owe that much to bring it current and only owed $When I spoke to a representative named [redacted] later about having my account backdated, I was told that indeed the collections department attempts to collect the NEXT months payment as wellIt was never communicated to me that the $some dollar amount told to me included the next month's payment as wellI was also threatened with having my car repossessed and told I wasn't permitted to make payments over the phone for a yearAnd again, never was the length of my account number brought up.Third, as I understand it, having my payment only backdated to Octincreased the amount of interest I am payingThis is completely unacceptable to me as the fault lies squarely on Fifth Third bank and their system being incapable of handling account numbers which they apparently didn't even know until my case came up, or at the very least, never informed me of or bothered to look into on the part of the many people I talked to in both collections and customer service.Fourth, I have now transferred my loan to another bank and the check has cleared with Fifth ThirdBecause of the backdating of my payment to Oct as well as possibly some other unforeseen issue, the amount it is showing that I am negative (as in over paid on the account) is less then it should beI have now been charged too much interestIn the letter I received, it claims that the interest was adjusted appropriately, yet the website does not indicate that they owe me the money back that they should Again, this is completely unacceptable to me, and it has now become a trend of abusing my account for all the interest and fees you can get, and abusing me over the phone which brings me to point 5.Fifth, when I contacted customer service YET AGAIN about my account, this time due to yet another bug on Fifth Third's website I was mistreated by a supervisor of the customer service departmentLooking on the website, my account summary stated at the very top, in a highlighted row, " [redacted] CURRENT BALANCE ON 10/17/2014- $26, † [redacted] " This was after some transactions reversing the $late fee for my payment as Fifth Third seemingly acknowledged that it wasn't my fault I couldn't make a paymentReading this line, and seeing a reversal of my earlier payment below, I became concerned that something else had now happened to THIS payment which was a [redacted] payment paid for in cashThe first person I spoke with told me that it was under review by the Vice President's office and that they would get back to meI asked to be transferred to a supervisor as this wasn't acceptable since I was in the process of transferring my loan to another bankThe supervisor was repeating over and over again that the statement that my balance on 10/17/wasn't $26,while I was trying to explain that I believed her, but the website was telling me a different numberShe repeated that she was "sorry I felt it was displayed wrong", finally after making it abundantly clear that I was reading word for word off the screen, she said very condescendingly that she'd have someone "look into it"This isn't a matter of me thinking it's displayed wrong, the website is stating a completely fact.Sixth, if Fifth Third Bank cannot process accounts with more than digits over the phone, why would the Auto BillPayer be any different?I sincerely hope that I am an outlier and an exception here and this isn't a pattern of customer abuse by Fifth ThirdI can understand some hesitation on customer service's part when I am claiming that it is an issue on their end that I can't pay my bill, but accusing me of lying and just not liking how the info is displayed on a website is insulting and wrongAlso now apparently withholding more interest than is due, is totally unacceptable to meAnd your collections department did outright lie to me about how much money I owed to bring my account current when I was contacted by them on Oct8th Regards, [redacted] ***
