Consumer Narrative

On XX/XX/2022 my account was charged through a company called XXXX and I did not give them permission to they had went through my paypal account to then charge my bank account which is connected to XXXX. My account then went overdrawn that day and I went in the negative - {$17.00} after just fixing my account positive XX/XX/XXXX. I did not know this company did this to my account until I relooked over my account on my cellphone Fifth Third Banking App, once I noticed I contacted the bank which was on XX/XX/2022 and they stated they would not charge my account more than two overdraft fee. Then I wound up with three charges of overdraft fees to my account. I then went to a Fifth Third Bank Branch to discuss further because the Customer Service on Phone nor Online could help with furthering my issue of being fraud and hacked by the XXXX company which I had contacted myself to get this resolved and my money back that they had stolen out of my bank through XXXX. I then was told that my MyAdvance that I had was taken from me because I was negative for more than 15days, but I was negative for only 7 days before I had the company return my money to my bank which at that time I had only been charged 2 overdraft fees a {$25.00} and a {$37.00}. I went back into the Branch to get my myadvance turned back on XX/XX/2022 then I was told thered be a request to get my myadvance back but it wasnt positive I would be able to get it back. I then spoke to XXXX XXXX over the phone and she told me that I would be contacted about what could be done then, so after being told that I was finally contacted again on XX/XX/2022 and was told I would have to open a brand new Checking account with them ordinary to claim this as a fraud and hacking done to my first checking account. After creating my new checking account XXXX XXXX said shed call me back once she heard something about my myadvance being turned back on and given me my full limit I had had before, here it is now XX/XX/2022 and I still have not received a call back from her. Today I called XX/XX/2022 and asked to speak to her and they tell me that she wont be available until Friday XX/XX/2022, then was told that my message could be relayed to the Manager, I asked to speak to the Manager but was told she was busy with another customer at the time and that I would have to wait to be called back from the Manager about this. I expressed I can not wait any longer seeing as I have bills I wanted to pay with my myadvance.
