Consumer Narrative
On XX/XX/2021 a check # XXXX written by myself to XXXXXXXX XXXX for {$240.00} for a Doctor bill was deposited into an account at Fifth Third Bank in Ohio. I have contacted Fifth Third Bank on XX/XX/2021 and explained that this check was never received by the intended payee and that they do not have an account with Fifth Third Bank which was confirmed by Fifth Third Bank. I requested my {$240.00} be returned to my checking account and the Bank manager refused to help me and stated I needed to have my Bank XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX Contact Fifth Third Bank which I did. On XX/XX/2021 XXXX XXXX XXXX over night express mailed a copy of the deposited check front and back, as well as information from the Federal Reserve, my account number and the routing number and requested that the {$240.00} be returned to my checking account asap. They also informed Fifth Third Bank that they believe this check # XXXX for {$240.00} was intercepted in the mail and deposited fraudulently since the intended payee does not hold any accounts with Fifth Third Bank. It is XX/XX/2021 and Fifth Third Bank has not responded to any documentation from my bank or returned my fraudulently deposited check that they had no right to negotiate since the payee holds no accounts with their Bank.
