      This bank continued for some unknown reason to keep overdrafting my account instead of just rejecting the over drafts. I told them to close thevaccount, they say they couldn't. So I started a new checking account strictly to pay rent and after being assured that it would be totally separate of the other account. I deposited money, the first month nothing happened. Now I deposited my rent the second month and went ahead and electronically paid it as usual. Then this morning, I noticed the Woodforest has drafted my account for $471 in order to put toward the other account that they let getbout of control. I called them and they claim they are sorry, but a true apology would have admitted wrong doing and moved the money back where it was as I never agreed to any of this! Now my rent is overdue and the landlord is charging me $50, plus now instead if paying them I got to go ******************, so there is tgat fee also. Plus they will ** longer accept my bank account as rent payment. And I'm prob gonna get an eviction notice in the next 2 days. I'm handicapped, I m currently unemployed and literally live on a shoestring. Thanks to this bank I have no ruined what credit I did have for something that I did not agree to!

      I deposited a check on 5/26/25 and was told it would be available 5/4 and the deposit slip also says 7 business days. The bank was open on 5/26 so I made it in person with a teller. 7 business days from 5/26 is 6/4. The funds are not available on my account and will not be available until 6/5. This goes against both what I was told at the bank, over the phone and on the deposit slip. It would be 8 business days. I was charged a fee for depositing the check. The check was from an insurance company for back pay for workmans compensation. The bank could have done a funds verification on the check to release the funds. None of the associates I spoke with offered to do that and actually advised that they cannot release the funds today, the 7th business day.

      For the second time in three months I had fraudulent charges on my account. My claim was denied just because in the past I purchased from the vendor. They refuse to refund my money.

      I have had this account for many years **** my minor child's account that has disability payments go to. I am not supposed to be allowed to overdraft on either of my accounts yet in the past year I am continuously in the red and being charged overdraft fees but now they have started attacking my son's disability payment account and it is now $721 in the negative. I have contacted customer support spoken to a supervisor and I have been to the bank multiple times and nobody understands what has happened or why but now my child's disability payments are in jeopardy, I do not use this other account for any payments it is not attached to anything there is no reason why it should have been overdrafted whatsoever and there has been no resolution with the bank.

      Better Business Bureau:

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this proposed action would not resolve my complaint.  

      ************** allowed princeline to double charge my account. March 4, *********************************************************************** the amount of $99.96. Priceline called and emailed me admitting the charge wasnt authorized and it was a glitch in there system, but refused to put the money back into my checking to show a paper trail of the transaction. Im not sure what they told ********* but this transaction was fraudulent. I reported to the bank right away before it hard posted to my account. The bank still declined my claim and allowed priceline to rob me via electronically. Priceline has been avoiding me on this check that they supposedly have mailed to me 2 months ago. I have been emailed and called Priceline a talk to several representatives from Columbia  and ***********.  Ive talked to representatives and representatives supervisors and theyre all telling me the same thing as they are not getting any response from the ********************** If Priceline is not responding internally nor externally, somethings not right with the whole transaction.  and they are telling me that the ********************* has not responded to them nor have they responded to any of my emails from the email they sent to me on March 12, ******************************************** via check because they couldnt put it back into my checking account Which I find very bizarre. Ive been treated unfairly by the merchant and the bank. Im asking you to please do the right thing and give me my money back because I did not authorize two transactions and I notified the bank right away of the fraud in an timely matter, and Im asking so kindly to please reverse your decision. Priceline has been notified as well and no response on the missing refund check and its been 2 months later. ********* representative I will be emailing you the chain communication via email so you can see Priceline has not responded to me at all. I will be emailing the bank directly to ****************** for your review of the chain email confirmation. Unable to upload on here.

      Best Regards,

      I noticed in my checking account a charge for Ring Basic plan, for *****. l did a dispute and was told that I had a Ring account a long time ago, so the charge was considered to be a valid charge. Afterwards, I called Ring and was told they didn't have an active account in my name; and had not had one for several years. Therefore, I completed a written dispute of the charges. I explained that I have an alarm system with QEI, which automatically comes out of my account and I don't have a need for a ring plan. I further asked them to do their due diligence and find out where the charge came from and to credit my account. I received a letter today without explanation stating the charges stand. I did not make this charge and should not be charged for it.
