    Pattern of Complaint:

    Beginning in 2023 and continuing to date, Woodforest National Bank has continued to exhibit patterns of complaints and reviews.  Those patterns include;

     

    Consumer complaints and reviews allege poor customer service issues, i.e. consumers feeling they are not receiving assistance from the branch level management and rude employees. They are also stating they are experiencing unauthorized parties allowed to withdraw money from their accounts without permission and long wait times to have the money returned.

     

    Consumers are siting difficulty in accessing their money, issues when trying to dispute charges, and fraud accounts being established in their name. Some long-time customers are also frustrated with how their accounts being services.  For example, consumer’s account were closed without notice.  Consumers are also alleging frustration with the process when they have fraudulent charges. They state they are following the banks requirements, but the process is still taking months to investigate and assist.

     

    Complaints and reviews also state accounts not closed after consumer was informed it would be. Fees continued to be added to account. Consumer stated, “I was advised by one of their employees that the error was on the oxford branch as they are all “new and do not have it together yet”.  Consumer’s account frozen multiple times without notification and accounts being opened with the consumer’s information without permission. When bank assured the consumer the issue was resolved, the same person was able to access the consumer’s information again. Consumer is concerned about security and has closed their accounts.

      On or about April 2023, a series of frauduent charges were transacted against my woodforest national bank account. Woodforest put $58 back into my account ....... from 2 ($29) transactions ......then, they declined 2 or 3 other fraud instances t Iotaling over $1,000. That left one last transaction of $1,277.75...... which has been disputed and re-disputed since the beginning. I was instructed by one of their customer care reps to write a letter ....... to Re-dispute this transaction........ which I did way back in June or July. Every time I call and inquire as to the status of their "Investigation" ..... I am told that CASE # ******** ...... for the aforementioned $1,277.75 ....... is still under investigation. I keep telling the Woodforest Representative that this money is part of my monthly Social Security Benefit ...... and they keep telling me that Case # ******** .... is still under investigation ...... for about 4 months now ........ since they do not have a time limit as to when a re-dispute has to be resolved!!! I would like for Woodforest National Bank to be directed to REFUND the $1,277.75 back into my account!!!

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution would be satisfactory to me.  



       Thanks so much for your help today. The complaint I made concerning Wood Forest National Bank has been resolved. The Wood Forest customer service explained the information I needed to me. I was confused about the information I had previously received. Once it was explained to me, I realized I made a mistake filing the complaint. I totally misunderstood. Please withdraw my complaint. I sincerely apologize to Wood Forest.

      12/23/2022- I had a direct deposit posted when I went to the local bank to obtain my funds I was informed my account was frozen. Representative told me to check back Saturday or Sunday. 12/23/2022- I contacted the toll free number to see what was going on. I was told the account should not have been open without my social security card and there has been letters mailed out with that information. But was informed the department I needed to speak with does not work on the weekend and I wouldn’t know anything until Monday. 12/24/2022- spoke with customer service again and was informed they also don’t have and address on file because they would have to mail a cashiers check for the money that’s in my account (I was told notices had been mailed out so I questioned that) 12/26/2022- spoke with Blake at the local office and was informed the account is still frozen and he would check with a department on 12/27/2022 because there’s a lot of miscommunication at this time. 12/27/2022- spoke with Blake and he informed me he had not been able to communicate with anyone and apologize for any confusion. Called the tollfree number and I’m still getting the running around when I asked to speak with a supervisor I was told I needed to go into the local branch. I have expressed that I have an electricity bill due in the 30th and need my funds.

      Better Business Bureau:

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution would be satisfactory to me thanks to Grant from the customer advocacy team. Unfortunately it took me to reach out to 3 companies to get a resolution as customer service kept telling me a cashiers check would have to be mailed but nothing was being done.
