      I deposited 2 checks from the u.s. treasury on may 10, then my account was froze I couldn't get into my online account or anything. Contacted bmo they Said they froze it because of suspicion of fraud and they needed to verify checks. I called the treasury ***** And they informed me how bmo can quickly verify checks so I passed the info to bmo. It's been 9 days and I still can't get into my account is get any kind of money. I called the treasury ***** Again and they informed me the bank cashed the checks on the 13th. I've contacted bmo many times and they kept telling me they were trying to verify the checks but they already cashed them. This is a business account and having it froze is costing me thousands if dollars and no one at bmo will cooperate in remedying this matter

      I received a letter that my balance is lowered due to not paying bills (not accurate) and high income to debt ratio (also not accurate). None the less, I called customer service to close the credit card and they would not let me do that. I was initially hung up on then that person must have put a hold on my account. I called back and was told that I have to walk into a branch to get my card closed as they cant verify me without even asking me any questions. I never had this issue before with any other companies and feel that the employee that hung up on me retaliated unethically by placing that hold on my account to make to difficult for me to close my card.

      I took out a loan 3 months ago. I have tried to work with them to pay off the loan. When trying to call on June 5, 2024, the phone system hung up on me 6 times. Finally I got through. After 30 minutes on the phone they were finally able to give me a final payment amount. The person I spoke to had a severe accent and I was hardly able to understand him. I asked for a different person and he ignored me. My husband was able to get in touch with a branch in *********, **. They told us to go to a certain page and all of the info was there. That didn't work. I called this morning and they have a special offer to sell insurance to me. I tried to get past it but it hangs up on me if I don't want the insurance. I want to hear from a person that works for the bank so they can explain exactly how to pay off this loan. I don't know where to send the final payment and I am afraid they will steal my money if i send it to the wrong address.

      I am currently awaiting BMO bank to find my vehicle title. I have paid the balance in full on 02-19-24 which was an early loan termination payment. The loan was to be terminated upon full payment and I have not received my vehicle title. I can get the automated system with BMO bank to say that my account is paid and the title has been delivered. When I call and attempt to talk to someone they tell me the account does not exist and one rep even said that the vehicle was never on lien through BMO bank. I am currently unable to sell my vehicle due to this. I expect the same standards they hold against me (7 days) but instead we are nearing 120 days with no results. I feel money has lost in this market by forcing me to wait months.

      I am rejecting this response because:

      I was not delivered a lien free title.

      I was asked for more money multiple times.

      I have spent many hours trying to resolve this issue with no compensation of any kind.

      On 5/18/2024 I noticed one of my savings accounts had been closed at ******** and the money was gone. I contacted the bank and they told me that the money had been put in an account called "unclaimed funds" and I just needed to go to the bank with ID to reopen it. I called the local number for the 4th St. ****** and was told by the manager there was nothing they could do because the fraud **** was closed. She promised to call the next day but never contacted me again. I tried calling and the phone was never answered. I called another local branch and the manager was not helpful. She also said she would call me back but I never heard from her again. I went into the branch and was promised by the manager that it was the banks fault and he would help rectify the problem, Now he won't return my emails and there has been no resolution. It's been nearly 3 weeks. This is no small amount, they have taken over $2200. Can you help me please? The last manager I spoke to was ******************************* ************** email ************************ Thank you.

      My bank card no longer works when my dentiist processes it. It worked for this same dentist for the last 10 years, and now it does not. It is humiliating because the refusal makes me look bad to my dentist. And it has nothing to do with insufficient funds. But what is it, then?

      My minor child received gift cards from a program he was in. The gift cards were fully used. I had to return a defective item and a refund was issued to the card. When I attempted to use the card, it was denied. I tried to login online to check it and couldn't. I called and was told it would be escalated and a check issued for any balances. I haven't heard back. I called May 31 and spoke with ***** who said he couldn't help me as he would need to speak with my child. When I called my child over to the phone, he hung up. I called back and he spoke directly to my son, stated my son couldn't give me permission to speak on his behalf and when he was advised again that my child was a minor, he said he couldn't help him over the phone and hung up. I just want the balance mailed to me as promised.
