This is more excuse that bank is a sh** hole
They lacked moral ethics! Persons accounts were debited and then they were told why the accounts were debited. What payment plan are they talking about? Is to make the public believe they weren’t as callous as they truly are!!!
No discussions about payment plans, in fact customers are now fighting to prove their cases! Also this bank debited customers account dating as far back as 2022! And mysteriously no transactions can be shown for the time stamp that they claimed to have paid a debit on behalf of the customer.
This bank is a scampish bank, they collected insurance money on the same said lost and still turn around and collected from their customers!
People need to move all their hard earn money from this bank! We don’t want to EXPERIENCE NO MORE GLITCHES to be deducted two years later… the nerve of this bank!
Where is FSC in all of this craziness…
There have been numerious Incidents where the CC funds have not been deposited to the business account.
Fraud on the account where every customer was debited $10 from Nevada Sleep systems. This was registered as fraud as the bank cancelled the cards but never returned the funds to the customers. Think how much money they made of this one. Constant delays in pending transactions taking days to clear of your CC cards. Even though the vendor has the funds and they are cleared in their account. Limiting Debit cards to so low you have to use Wire transfers to pay vendors. Capping Airmiles at 150K its not in the contract or AA agreement just decided to do this and not communicate to customers. The list goes on and on. Complete Failure of this bank. FSC is doing nothing to support customers after numerious attempts to have meeting and explain what the bank is doing or not doing.
