We first moved to louisville and forgot to inform 5/3 bank and because it was late and they couldnt find a number the had an investigator "find" the car ... when we finally got told what was goin on we were told by the bitch "to call of the dogs" we got to pay the late payment plus 1000 for the investigator. i should have let the car go then but i didnt. now i changed jobs and let it get behind 2 months because of the holidays and not being full time. I intended on going today monday and payin the damn thing, however at 330 am the repo guy shows up and takes it. I call them they say now i have 72 hours to pay 2500 to get the car back and they changed it from like 45 days late to 110 which was BULLSHIT. On top of that the sorry repo guy tells me i can come by to get my stuff but when i called they tell me i gotta pay 50 to get the rest of my stuff. INSANE , They wonder why the economy is in shambles and people no longer trust banks. Some fat assholes sit and take everyones money invest it poorly loose there ass blame the working class and then ask the gov for billions. Then to top it get there f*** ing bonus on top of it. hell my job banks threw them and i went to get my check cashed they wanted to charge 10 dollars for that. If that place is hurting like that i hope they go out of business just like bill heard chevrolet..it will be a cold day in hell before they ever see one cent from me my family and i ask everyone and anyone boycott the sorry cock suckers. I have read nothing but shady things on here about them i wish i would have known.

Let Me Know

Hey, I would love to know of any "non-shady" bank out there who would be cool with you moving and not giving them your new address. Then, once they track you down, eating the fees on it. Better yet, I want to sign up for their no-payments for 2 months plan. I mean is that honestly something you think any financial institution, bank or credit union in the country is going to be ok with? They are lending institutions and for-profit organizations. You went to them for help and agreed to timely payments. Don't be surprised when they expect you to live up to your end of the bargain. Wouldnt you be pissed if your employer was 2 months late with your paycheck? Is it different? Cause you don't work for free? Banks and lenders dont operate for free, either. That's important to remember.

I would dispute the statement from the 5/3 employee - while what was stated would be how 5/3 employees 'should' conduct business, the reality is somewhere else.
Employees are not aware of their legal obligations in handling many account issues - only the requirements the bank management tell them to employ. This is well established and documented.
The employees have very little empowerment to help on all but the most mundane issues, even middle management must defer to higher authorities for many out of the ordinary matters.
They have recently been exposed as being grossly uninformed of simple legal requirements for reporting of account information to the credit reporting bureaus - I would strongly recommend the poster to closely track all 3 major credit reports for next 12 months to ensure that 5/3 are not being 'economical with the truth' in their reporting.
In this case direct legal action was the only method of enforcing the Federal Credit Reporting Act on Fifth Third.
At the end of the day, yes, the consumer has a contractual obligation to keep up with payments and inform the bank of any change of circumstances - HOWEVER, the bank also has a contractual and legal obligation to service the account competently and appropriately.
The sooner the incompetent individuals that run these organizations realize that, the sooner we can see some truly loyalty earning companies receive the rewards they genuinely deserve....instead of this underhand 'justify our actions to ourselves and accountable to no one' abominable attitude.

Pay your bills on time and things like this wouldn't happen. Looks like you "forgot" to inform the bank that you moved. It is in your signed contractual agreement that the consumer is responsible for any changes to the account. As far as policy and repossession, when you talk to a representative of 5/3 Bank, they are very educated in how to handle each situation, and give the information from the account. We are here to inform you and give you the knowledge you need to fix YOUR account issues. It is not the bank's fault that you were 2 months behind on your payment. It was a courtesy for the bank to wait that long to repossess your vehicle. Technically, the bank is able to repossess your vehicle after one day of delinquency. Again, pay your bills on time and this sort of thing would not happen.
