Fifth Third Bank ripoff late charges & amounts owed Cincinnati ohio

I have a lease with Fifth Third bank of Cincinnati. I do not advise anyone to use this bank. I have been charged late fees for the last year without knowing. I have paid numerous times over the phone each time requesting the amount owed. I have paid this amt assuming this is the correct amt. Somehow my payments have not been posted in a timely manner.

In November of 2003 David called my house demanding 242$ & some odd change, now that should've been a tip off, saying that that was what I owed in late fees and if it were paid that day I would be caught up and owe nothing until my next payment. Like a fool I did this. By the way did you know they charge late fees on the late fees? That was a new one to me.

If you can not guess let me tell you what has happened. The money I paid to bring supposed late fees up to date was not credited to late fees. Now does this not surprise you? Anyway, for all the supposed late charges I have I was turned over to Client Services, Inc. Now there is a company to behold. They are not only rude, mean and threatening like Fifth Third but also in volation of the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act, Section 805(a).

I have turned this matter over to my attorney so I will see just what will happen. My guess is that if I can get out of my lease it will be the best thing that could happen to me. My words to anyone thinking of leasing a vehicle, DO NOT USE FIFTH THRID BANK OF CINCINNATTI, OHIO. If any sales man even suggests you use them, do now walk but run to your nearest exit.
