      Billing Issues
      Status:
      Resolved
      I am former customer of ********************** **** of Wisconsin my account was opened in *********, **. I closed the account July 5, 2023 because I relocated to another state where i still reside.Unbeknownst to me, someone at Associated **** re-opened the account without my knowledge, permission or authorization a month later in September 2023. I was not notified or made aware any of this had happened as I live in another state.In January 2024 Associated **** charged me for an ACH transaction of $120 from AAA ************* I still have AAA ************ which is paid from a different account and has been for a year now. Not only did this happen but they put the account into collections and charged off the account sent the collection to Certegy just recently. I recently had a problem all of sudden with cashing a check and found out this all happened. I now have a negative **** with Certegy for no reason at all. The bank is giving me the run around, they have no explanation of whom actually re-opened the account and told me they can see the date it was closed on July 5, 2024. They want me to call AAA ************ but why would I do that. I explained if I closed the account the bank cannot by law re-open an account without my signature, permission or authorization. Why did they wait so long to charge me, charge off the account with no notification to me? But, nothing that comes through a closed account from 6 months earlier is paid from a closed account ever. It is returned closed account. ********************** **** has no explanation for their part, who re-opened the account because they can see the name of the employee but won't tell me who did it only, I am responsible and they can't help resolving this issue, they are refusing to fix this issue, remove the charge off and collection with Certegy. Again, this is not my fault. A closed account by a customer means the customer closed the account and it remains closed. I am seeking help in resolution.

      DO NOT BANK HERE **This bank gave me a list of “free ATMS” when select ATMs on the sheet charged fees **Does not honor/falsely advertises bonus promotions **Posts days delayed charges for checks/debit **I used the “bill pay” feature one time and a month later the check never made it to the utility company. I incurred a $55 fee for this transaction and when I contacted Associated Bank about it, all they did was threaten to charge me an extra $35 fee to cancel that check. I opened up a Better Business Bureau complaint in regard to a promotional mailer that’s code they improperly entered at account open. 4 months later I didn’t get my bonus. I have them multiple options to resolve, the final resolution being an apology and explanation for what happened with the mailer. If the banker that created my account improperly entered it, if they chose not to honor it for any reason, etc. I informed them that my husband and I are very seriously and we take mishandling money + information in such a setting seriously. On top of all of this, the agent that dealt with the complaint was disrespectful and had a hard time comprehending everything. The big takeaways from my experience is that this business does not properly handle your paperwork. I wasn’t entered under the correct promotion and they couldn’t even provide me with a copy of the opening disclosure when requested. They also openly falsely advertise. Upon figuring out I was entered under a different promotion than I signed for, I did digging on their website. Promotions for business, checking and IRA accounts were all improperly advertised. They tell you HALF of what you need to know in order to receive a bonus. The other half is shared at your in-person appointment to open the account. It’s a dishonest practice they use to get people through the door. When I brought this up to the banker that dealt with the complaint, he didn’t deny it in any way. Banker that dealt with it was Andrew at **** ******* ******* *****
