      I tried a one week trial of calm radio at the beginning of December 2023 on my online banking account states December 6, 2023 when they took the money out $75.56. I took pictures of my online account which proves that the account was inactive and expired on December 5, 2023 the day before they took the money out of my online checking account, which was December 6, 2023 it was inactive on December 5, 2023 they gave me a provisional credit of $75.56 on December 14, 2023 and then on March 4 after they investigated they took the $75.56 back out of my account which they should not have done nobody asked me for any proof I don’t know how this stuff works but they should’ve asked me for proof. I would’ve been glad to give it to him. They know what’s in my account. They can check my information in my checking account when it was taken out when it was canceled on my phone and everything they have the means, and the way to do it , so I believe it is so therefore it was done when it shouldn’t have been done

      The worst bank I have ever dealt with. They called that I was short on one monthly payment due to escrow amount increase and threatened to report me to the credit bureau, I told them that I am willing to pay over the phone and no need to report for $60 as I have always been on time for 2 years. The lady took my account info and said we all set, and the transaction even showed up on my online banking transaction history. Two weeks later, the same lady called and said the transaction did not go through and I will need to pay again, this time I chose to pay in the branch to be safe and I was treated badly, I asked why I did not get a notification earlier because I had a late payment in my credit history, the branch manager literally told me that I gave the wrong number over the phone, how could it be 100% my fault as their employee could write down the wrong number. She also said that I will need to check with my account to make sure the money left my account, so the money recipient wants me to guarantee their the money but not themself, if the transaction does not go through in any grocery store I won't be able to leave the store. Very bad customer service very bad technology. They immediately point finger when things happen instead of providing help to make things easier for their customers. If I don't have three mortgages with them, I would have take all my business away from them now.
