PNC DENIED DEPOSIT OF US EE SAVINGS BONDS!

Posted by: JIMMYGJR60 | Mar 11, 2023

I have had a safety deposit box with N. Huntingdon, PA, PNC for over 31 years. I wanted to open an individual savings account using cash and five United States EE Savings Bonds.

They would not accept the bonds! Their account representative, who was very professional, checked with her supervisor and told me that I had to have been an account holder for at least a year to cash in the government bonds and deposit the funds. I had no problem if they wanted to place a hold on the funds, but they refused to accept these negotiable Federal EE Bonds.

In addition to the $6,000.00 they lost that day, I had planned on transferring a large sum of money from an online bank account I was closing. I had also planned on opening a separate business checking account. These funds and more will be placed in a competitor's bank or credit union.

Started Charging Me Random Fees

Posted by: coast55 | Jan 15, 2023

I banked with them off and on for over 12 years. My latest experience is the last I will ever have with this bank. I opened an account and it received direct deposits for several months before I switched jobs and the direct deposits stopped. There was over $9000 sitting in the account at that point and the account had no activity on it but it met the minimum to avoid fees. So they started charging $3 a month for 'scanned check fee'. I saw 4 of those on my statement, then a $5 charge for the same thing. When I saw this I freaked out and thought there was fraudulent activity on my account, but the only activity was the charge for these 'scanned checks'. Now keep in mind there was not one single check written on this account. These garbage fees showed up with no notice. Long story short, I contacted the bank and customer service was useless. I went to a branch and the branch manager actually shrugged at me and said 'the computer is not letting me reverse the charges'. Oh. Well, Tee-hee, isn't that adorable? What customer wouldn't be satisfied with that? Are you kidding me? So I closed the account and filed a complaint with the regulating agency of this bank. Oh, now they want to talk to me. Some wonk called me and the first thing I here is 'this is a recorded line'. So hung up on that, get an email about 'resolving this issue'. I said the resolution is to refund me the $17 that was taken out in junk fees for a service not disclosed and certainly not actually used since no checks were written on this account. I finally got my $17. Yes, it is a small amount but it is MY money. Do not just roll over when a bank starts in with junk fees. If nothing else, complain to as many regulators, BBB, State Attorney, whatever to cost them way more in lost man hours answering the complaints regarding $17. If they know people will fight them tooth and nail when they raid our accounts, they will stop doing it. There are so many class action lawsuits that spring from situations like this. No bank wants to be on the radar screen of a regulating agency for engaging in grift and junk fees. I will never do business with this bank again.
