Centier has been withholding access to a *** account meant to fix my deceased mothers house to sell. They have givin me no access but decided on their own they would continue to take money from this account until the house was sold. Then, they tried to circumvent state law by cashing my moms account out that did not have a beneficiary into two mortgage payments. Problem is they had 6 months to do this. It has been far passed the deadline. Although, coincidentally/conveniently split the non pod account into two, equal payments that were 400 more than the mortgage amount. This happened during the statement month while I received notice the account was drained the day of the estates court hearing to decide representation, which was almost a year past the legal time for Centier to make a decision without asking the estate. What they chose to with the remaining monies in the dormant account defrauded the other estate interested party. I have been robbed of the accrued interest that should have been compounding on the full amount in the *** account left to me for the past year.Business Response

I went into the Winfield Centier branch to retrieve forms I may need to fill out to close an account that Im POD on and get a copy of the disclosure statement for a like account and I was asked to leave. ****, ***************************** manager was professional when speaking with me and when she asked me to leave. The *************** Manager, *****, became unhinged when I would not accept her blatant lie.

Centier raised my monthly mortage payment from *** to *** per month. They claimed a $*** dollar shortfall of escrow due to a $*** increase in property taxes and a $*** increase in homeowners insurance. They said I could pay $*** upfront to cover the shortfall but then said my payment would still go up nearly $** per month. I paid the $*** of escrow costs but questioned why so much and why my payment was still going up $** per month if I payed the difference that was factored into the new payment. I asked why the payment was still increasing and they said for unexpected future increases in escrow costs next year. I offered to pay up front the unexpected costs and they said I could not and could not bring my monthly back to its regular costs of *** and I am forced to pay $** more per month now. Ive had my mortgage with then for nearly 20 years and I've never missed a payment. This seems unethical at best especially during a time of hyper inflation and continuing monthly costs increases. I offered to do everything i could to pay costs up front so my payment wouldn't increase and they refused.Initial Complaint

On 11/6 my back act closed with a positive balance of ***** on 11/7 I was assessed an overdraft fee for a charge they say overdrafted me on the 6th however the closing documents I have on my statement show thats not the case. On Tuesday morning I was assed an overdraft fee for a charge that had gone through overnight and the balance had been transfered in the morning to cover that bill. Normally a client is given until the end of the day to put act back in positive standings and if so when the end of the day closes with a positive act balance so fee is issued. However in my case I was assessed a ***** overdraft fee but closed both days with positive balances. They are insisting bills went through and that I closed with a negative balance. This isnt reflected on a bank statement nor is it reflected on the app or anything else Ive been given. If the funds were available at closing then I shouldnt be hit with an overdraft fee. This is a deceitful way fixing fees into unknowing customers.Business Response

on April 21st, my checking account was hacked. I contacted the bank immediatly and they said they would look into it. The next day we were informed that there was several hacks that took place the same day and that the bank was investigating. We were advised to close the account and open another. I provided multiple peices of information to the bank to help catch the person. A couple more days go by and I return to the bank and was informed that I most likely will not get my money back because I'm a small bussiness owner and it was a bussiness checking account. I was hacked before and they rectified the situation. Now I'm getting a run around thru customer service and the branch managers. I was never informed that my bussiness account would not be secure and safe when I opened the account. Their bussiness checking pamphlet has no such lingo either, of not being covered. I would appreciate any help catching and getting my $500 returned. Thank you, ****Business Response

Due to some error my funds are being held in a pending status for what they say is three business days which means I am without money for the weekend.

My direct deposit went in June 7 2022 the bank marked it as "Pending" and processed every other transaction before posting my direct deposit so they could charge me 3 $35.00 over draft fees. I reached out to them via email and one gal was able to reverse 1 fee. I'm not used to a bank not recognizing the direct deposit. I opened this account because some lady in ****** asked me to, she needed to meet a quota. My other bank processes deposits first & I would never willingly go negative in my account. I'm so irate. I'm a single mom of two boys 7 & 9 and I can't afford to give the bank $70, for what? I'll be in to close the account I just want other people aware of Centier Business Practices of processing deposits lasts so they can profit off their members.Business Response

They are charging me over 150 dollars of late fees. This bank in the beginning told me they couldnt change the payment date. Cause its a one time deal. But that I had a 15 day grace ****** before late fees. If they arent willing to change the date again. I am going to have to use that grace ******. So not sure how I am getting late fees. I know one time I forgot to pay it. And paid it right when I had the money. Than their collection part of their bank decided it was good idea to keep calling me over and over again. After I had told the guy to stop calling me. I told him you dont pay my phone ****. You dont have permission to call me whenever you want. You all can only contact me by mail. They already charging me a fortune for the interest on this mobile home loan. Times are tough. Not getting as many hours as I use to. With pandemic and everything. They need to work on getting me a cheaper monthly rate something I can afford. I just want a refund of the late fees charged.Business Response
