Hello- I would like to file a complaint on Community Bank for deceptive marketing and advertising. I had a promotional loan with this bank that I had been making monthly payments on. I know the expiration of the promotional percentage rate was in December of 2024 as the bottom of my statement clearly says due 12/2024 (pic attached); assuming I had till end of December to avoid any interest charges. I did pay off the balance in full on December 30, 2024. However the bank charged me $89.58 interest because I didn’t pay it off 12/4/2024 as they claim it was due. I was unaware of this earlier date. This deadline is printed nowhere on my statement. If they can print 12/2024 expiration date on the bottom of my statement then they can make it much clearer to the consumer to print the actual day along with the month and year. A big bank like this can do a better job informing the consumer and not misleading us. Please I ask for your support to help get changes like these made. Other financial institutions are doing it why isn’t Community Bank? I’m disabled and living on a very fixed income. $89 is a very big deal to me especially when i diligently thought I was adhering to their policies. Please help me get my $89.58 refunded. Thank you for your time.

On January 21st I attempted to make a purchase on ***** *– which is a website and app I’ve made several purchases on before using the same card. Apparently the bank flagged it as fraudulent and did not provide me any notifications whatsoever. They did not provide me a fraud alert text to verify the transactions, they did not send me an email, letter in the mail. Nothing. January 22nd I attempted to use the card and it declined each time, so I called to see what the issue was. They kept me on hold for an hour– then transferred me to the fraud department where I was on hold for another hour or so. They told me the purchase I attempted to make on ***** * was flagged as fraud (even though I’ve made purchases with this card there prior). They automatically cancelled my card and issued a new one with zero reasoning or notice– when obviously there was nothing fraudulent. Now I’m stuck waiting “10-14 business days” for a new debit card. Should I not have received fraud alerts like I have previously asking me to verify the purchase? And why was I not notified or asked consent before being issued a new card?

Community Bank is committed to safeguarding our customers’ account - always. When the Bank detects a large volume of fraudulent transactions from the same store or website, the Bank must take immediate action. Unfortunately, your debit card was flagged as potentially compromised and we apologize that a letter explaining the situation was not sent until 1/23/2024. Additionally, due to higher than usual call volumes, our call center experienced longer wait times. Community Bank remains dedicated to providing every customer with professional and courteous service and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

I paid 902 the amount of my mortgage payment as I have the past 6 months and all of a sudden I have a late payment on my credit report which went down 100 points because of it. Apparently they said my payment was 908. There was about 5 dollars in my escrow and they applied that and made my payment short by 1 dollar. They never reached out to me on my payment going up but the fact they destroyed my credit over a dollar is unfair and just ruined me.

Community Bank N.A. sent out a letter notifying me that I would be switched to an objectively worse account type without my consent. My account type when I opened my account did not charge a service fee. This new account does. There was another account type identical to my existing account type. I reach out through chat and they assure me I won't be charged the service fee. Lo and behold, I'm being charged it for the past few months despite numerous attempts to contact community bank requesting a refund and a change to the account type without a service fee. Every time they send me somewhere else and have more hoops to jump through. Even if this is resolved, it's definitely scummy behavior to automatically roll over people to an objectively worse account type when there is a new account type identical to the old one.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint. Community Bank has done nothing to resolve the issue. I work and thus am unavailable during their usual banking hours, and they call me in the middle of the work day once. The resolution I want is simple - for the fees to be reversed and to no longer be charged them. Please contact me through email or the banking chat system if you need any further confirmation, I am not available during normal banking hours and this is the best way to reach me.

I submitted paperwork to have my pension withdrawn to be paid out November 2nd of this year. Community bank pension sent the money to nottingham trust formally community bank trust on 9/20/2024 to be paid out on November 2nd. I have called 3 times and no one is able to tell me why they have not paid out my money. Please help me as it seems no one at the company is able to help me.

I recently noticed a service charge for $4.95 on my checking account. There was no further explanation for the charge and I was not able to dispute it so I used the chat feature on the banking app to get more information. In the process I found another service charge for $4.95 as well. The response I received from the bank representative via the chat adds to my concern and I believe that these so-called service charges are a scam and an attempt by the bank to take close to $5 from my account every month without notifying me or getting my approval for new terms that I never agreed to and was not made aware of.

Community bank continues to charge $2 a month for paper statements. No big problem we switch all (11) of our accounts to online statements. They keep sending paper statements and charging $2. It will stop for a month or two then they will start doing it again. How many elderly people are getting scammed this way every month.

Community Bank is the lein holder for my vehicle determined to be a total loss by my insurance company. Due to the lack of communication skills between these two multi billion dollar establishments, I was forced to make a car payment. The car was struck at no fault of my own on the 21st of September, CBNA was contacted "officially" via my insurance company on the 4th of October. I had personally made calls to CBNA prior to the 4th and they were aware my vehicle was a total loss. The car payment came out on the 7th and on the 9th I called to request a refund. I have GAP insurance on the vehicle as well, I had purchased it brand new and it was a 2023. Upon requesting a refund I was informed that not only were they going to expect my continued payments, but actions to prevent payments would be met with late fees and credit destruction. My car was parked and stuck at 11pm at night, its been nothing but a nightmare of coordination for me with insurance and the bank. As the victim in a hit and attempted flee by an individual under the influence, how is it okay for an insurance company I've paid over $40,000 to and a nationwide bank to treat me this way? its unethical and completely unacceptable.

Subsequent to the complaint, the customer has been in direct communication with the appropriate personnel at the Bank. As explained to Mr. *****, it is the customers responsibility to make monthly loan payments until the payment is received from the insurance company. Once the insurance payment is processed, any resulting overpayment will be provided to Mr. *****. We understand Mr. *****’s frustration as we await the payment from the insurance company.

On January 29 2024 I authorized ***** to charge my account an ampunt. A week or two later ***** took out 465.00 from my account. I filed a complaint with my bank. They have since taken out the same amount for the same reason. They stole money out of my account.

Community Bank has investigated the complaint and learned that when Mr. ******* filed a Regulation E dispute for a charge from *****, provisional credit was provided. Under Regulation E, provisional credit must be provided during the investigation period. To complete the Reg E investigation, the Bank requested additional information which was not received from Mr. ****** during the 90-day investigation. This resulted in the reversal of the provisional credit. Subsequent to the complaint, the Branch has been in contact with Mr. ******* to explain the situation. The Bank encourages Mr. ******* to work directly with ***** to resolve the matter.
