Proposed Class Action Lawsuit filed against Fifth Third Bank filed in Federal District Court in Ohio last week. I know its hard to keep up with all the shenanigans at this bank, but this new lawsuit is for unfairly charging customers a fee when they deposit a bad check (through no fault of their own). These three plaintiff/customers allege that predatory charges and unfair punishment for someone else giving them a bad check without their knowledge. Profits over protection.
Read more at: https://www.law360.com/articles/1821158/fifth-third-hit-with-fee-suit-over-bounced-check-deposits?copied=1
"The 20-page lawsuit alleges that the bank’s blanket policy of imposing a “return deposit item fee” on bounced or unpaid checks is “predatory,” especially since depositors often have no way of knowing whether a check they had “no hand in issuing” is faulty.
“In fact, these fees are nothing more than veiled revenue-generating tools that penalize innocent depositors for the actions of others,” the case stresses, claiming that $15 far exceeds the actual cost Fifth Third incurs to process a returned check.
The plaintiffs, three Fifth Third accountholders, say they were “shocked” that the defendant had charged them $15 when checks they attempted to deposit were returned unpaid because the customers had done nothing wrong and could not have done anything to avoid the fee.
“By contrast, the bank maintains highly sophisticated systems for clearing checks and knows, or should know, when the person that wrote the check does not have sufficient funds to cover the check or has access to the reasons that the check may not otherwise be valid,” the complaint contends.
The filing explains that a check could also bounce if the check writer issued a stop payment order, if it’s written against a closed or foreign account or if there exists “even a minor” discrepancy on the check itself.
Although nearly all of these factors are outside the control of the depositor, Fifth Third assesses a return deposit item fee regardless of the circumstances, the lawsuit argues.
The case notes that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau issued a bulletin in October 2022 stating that it is likely unfair and unlawful under federal law for a financial institution to maintain a blanket policy in which it issues return deposit item fees irrespective of the origin of the check, the cause of its return or patterns of behavior on the account.
The lawsuit looks to represent anyone who, during the applicable statute of limitations period, had a Fifth Third Bank account and was charged a return deposit item fee by the bank." https://www.classaction.org/news/fifth-third-bank-charges-unfair-fees-when-customers-deposit-bad-checks-class-action-claims

Quote of the Day: From a pending federal court lawsuit in brought against Fifth Third Bank by Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (federal agency within Federal Reserve):
"By any standard of decency, Fifth Third’s conduct is unconscionable. By statute, it is abusive....
Fifth Third admits to the following facts that entitle the Bureau to a partial judgment:
• Fifth Third knew that it had an unauthorized-accounts problem by 2010;
• the problem persisted to the point that Fifth Third received around 500 consumer complaints and contemporaneously identified, through manual processes, around
1,100 aggrieved consumers;
• after the Bureau filed suit in 2020, Fifth Third examined “suspicious” accounts that it had opened from 2010 to 2016, identified “red flag” accounts, and analyzed
them to determine whether they were improperly opened; Fifth Third identified and remediated 800 additional consumers; and
• as a result, 800 consumers entitled to relief went unidentified and unremediated for more than three years.
* * *
By any standard of decency, Fifth Third’s conduct is unconscionable. By statute, it is abusive. The Bureau is therefore entitled to a partial judgment on the pleadings on Count 12."

Meet Barbara Rutcoskey, 89-year-old resident of (at time of story in 2019). The pattern and practice of Fifth Third Bank failing to protect its customers against check fraud (refuses to properly use tech or humans to inspect incoming checks), then denies request to reimburse its customers for its negligence (while blaming them) has continued unabated for YEARS, to present date.
As this story, and so many others demonstrates, Fifth Third Bank refuses to do the right thing and make their customers whole, UNTIL a TV reporter calls the bank with the lights and cameras on. How many cases go unreported and un-reimbursed?
Better yet, why doesn't the bank secure the vault in the first place?
Take a listen to Barbara;s story.
"Eighty-nine-year-old Barbara Rutcoskey didn’t know what happened to her checkbook.
“I thought I’d mislaid it,” she told Target 8 investigators.
She spent a couple of months trying to find it. Meanwhile, money was flying out of her bank account.
It turns out that a handyman she hired to work on her deck had walked into her kitchen and stolen her checkbook. He forged her signature on checks and cleaned out her account of $6,200. She wasn’t aware of it until she got a letter from her bank.
“I was overdrawn and only had $54 in the checking account,” she said.
“I can’t pay them the full amount, otherwise I can’t buy pills or I can’t buy groceries,” she told Target 8 investigators.
A woman who prided herself on paying her bills on time quickly found herself hounded by bill collectors.
“I don’t know if you know how that can affect a person,” she said. “It did affect me. My health went down.”
Her anxiety rose when she tried to get the bank to cover the loss. It’s a bank’s legal responsibility.
“The general rule is when a forged check is presented to the bank, the bank is liable if they cash it,” GVSU finance professor Greg Dimkoff explained.
The logic is that the bank makes every customer sign a signature card when opening an account for comparison to incoming checks to make sure they are legitimate.
In practice, however, Dimkoff says, “they never check cards. I’ve never seen a bank check a card.”
When Rutcoskey asked Fifth Third Bank to reimburse her account, it refused. It said she waited too long to report the loss. The bank requires customers notify it of a forgery within 30 days of the end of the bank statement period.
Dimkoff called it “the only loophole” that the law gives banks, based on the idea that customers should be responsible and report problems promptly.
But in Rutcoskey’s case, she thought she had misplaced her checkbook, was in the hospital part of the time and somehow missed the forged checks on her monthly bank statements.
Regardless, Fifth Third told her she was out of luck.
“The bank blames me because I didn’t report it soon enough but then they just cashed all those checks for this guy,” she said.
She called Target 8 investigators for help. Target 8 reached out to the bank and got a quick response. The bank had changed its mind. A spokesperson said it regarded Rutcoskey’s hospital stay as enough “new information” to regard her as eligible for reimbursement. The bank put $6,200 back in her account.
That was a huge relief for Rutcoskey, who started catching up on all her overdue bills.
“I’ve been paying and paying and paying,” she said. “Getting everybody paid up.
“I don’t want this to happen to anybody else because it really made a mess of me,” she added.
Even though the use of paper checks has declined, forgery still costs over $700 million a year nationwide, according to Federal Reserve numbers. Overall payment fraud for checks, electronic banking and credit cards nets crooks over $8 billion annually."

Meet retiree Jim Berschinski, a area man, who wrote a check for less than $50, but lost $16,000 due to check fraud that his bank failed to identify. Which bank? You guessed it: Fifth Third Bank, which employs antiquated software and employs outdated processing of checks. Did they promptly refund his money? Nope. Did they violate his consumer rights. Yup
"While something alerted Fifth Third’s fraud department to flag the ComEd check as suspicious, the other check, which had a forgery of Berschinski’s signature and was made payable to Gandre Holman, “just slipped through the cracks” as far as being flagged as potentially fraudulent, Berschinski said he was told by the bank.
The retired union insulator said he is working with Fifth Third to get the money back into his account, but has been told it could take months before that happens.
A spokesman for Fifth Third said Thursday the bank could not provide further comment."
A Thornton man mailed off 2 checks for less than $50; they were altered and cashed for more than $16,000 Jim Berschinski at first thought he was being scammed when he got a call from his bank, Fifth Third, asking whether he had written a check for $8,000 to someone named Martez Campbell. Fifth Third B…

Meet the man called "Marvelous" Marvelous Taylor. Unfortunately, his bank, Fifth Third Bank, was not so "marvelous." A criminal walked into Fifth Third, impersonating Marvelous, and over a series of withdrawals, siphoned $15,000 from his account. It was clear, from video evidence, that the fraudster was not Marvelous. Yet, Fifth Third, staying true to blaming its customers for its own negligence, denied his claim for reimbursement, ruling that the transactions were valid.
Yet, once again, Fifth Third, with the bright lights and TV camera of local news station CBS Chicago rolling, the bank FINALLY fights the ethics and courage to do the right thing. It relents and refunds Marvelous his $15,000. Question: why does it take TV reporters to make the bank do the right thing? Is this really a system of consumer protection?
Here from Marvelous:
"They just deny it and throw it under the rug and not handling it very well at all," said Taylor.
After Taylor contacted CBS 2, Fifth-Third took another look at the case.
After six-month fight, man finally gets $15,000 a thief swiped from his bank account This is a story about a man named Marvellous, and his miserable experience with identity theft.

Here is the problem with banks leaving your funds exposed to the EPIDEMIC of check fraud (counterfeit/washing). The banks are not keeping pace with the criminals. Banks are INTENTIONALLY not prioritizing the investments into check fraud technologies --- because check usage is declining. Experts predicted years ago that checks would be extinct in 2020. Didn't happen. Hard to get investors and bank board members excited about the future of checks, even while your funds are being looted by sophisticated hacksters exploiting the opening.
"The “Wait for Check Fraud To Go Away Strategy” and pasing on the losses to the unsuspecting consumers doesn't work.
"The banks' fraud strategy of “Wait for Check Fraud to Go Away” isn’t working. Bank’s aging fraud-fighting tech is limited and old and analysts battle enormous false-positive rates.
As a case in point, many banks are still relying on the rules-based systems that they implemented as far back as 1997. These systems have basic parameters like “check is high dollar amount” and have false-positive rates that can reach as high as 1,000:1 or more. This can make it impossibly hard for fraud analysts to spot a fake check in their queue, even when it is flagged."
Check Fraud Is Booming Again In A Post-Pandemic US It's baaack! Well, it never went away. And it probably never will. The end of the pandemic and all those stimulus programs are creating new wrinkles in check fraud as fraudsters return to targeting bank accounts. As is the case with most fraud schemes, new check fraud is just like old ch

Is your money safe at Fifth Third Bank? Will it reimburse you if you are a victim of the new wave of counterfeit and check-washing theft (thieves stealing your checks from mailboxes and then altering them)?
Here is ANOTHER story of a Fifth Third customer, retiree Joyce Goldenstern from Chicago, who complains that Fifth Third has lax security, which resulted in nearly $10,000 being stolen from her account.
Like so many other cases, not only was she victimized by the thieves, she was victimized by her bank, who delayed or refused to reimburse her for its negligence.
As a warning to all, she penned this Letter to the Editor at the Chicago Sun-Times.
Here are her words:
"As a retiree on a fixed income who was robbed of $9,900 in a checking scam, I have read with interest the Sun-Times’ stories on the increase in “check washing” incidents stemming from U.S. Postal Service robberies.
The newspaper has rightfully scrutinized postal security, but I would like to draw attention to another institution that needs scrutiny: banks. Banks do not have adequate software to detect fraudulent check alteration when electronic banking is used.
The alteration on my check could be easily deemed suspicious with the human eye. White-out was painted over the original writing, which was still visible, and in the memo area someone wrote “tax return,” though the check wasn’t being sent to the government,
Bank of America accepted this check. And my bank, Fifth Third, cleared the check without contacting me, even though I would never write such a large check and have never written a check to the fraudulent payee.
The banks’ handling of such cases is also problematic. Investigations can last six months or longer and communication is sorely lacking. I have been repeatedly told that my case is “pending.” Making things worse, Fifth Third actually lost my first fraud report, delaying its resolution and helping assure the criminal would have time to change banks.
Fifth Third’s responses and procedures have left me distraught and unsure of when and if my money will be returned. It is bad state of affairs when our money is not safe in a bank.
Banks need better security to prevent check fraud

FIFTH THIRD CUSTOMER ALERT:
The Herman Legal Group, a law firm headquartered in Downtown Cleveland, is investigating claims against Fifth Third Bank for engaging in a pattern and practice of failure to protect consumers against pervasive counterfeit/check-washing schemes, and for failure to timely remediate/reimburse after the theft.
Fifth Third Customers who have been victimized twice (first by the thief, and the second by their bank), are encouraged to contact Attorney Richard Herman at [email protected].
Based on our research, Fifth Third's method of operation is to leave accounts vulnerable to illegal takeover by employing lax security measures.
Once the theft occurs, Fifth Third misinforms, misdirects and obstructs the consumer once the fraud is reported, intending to draw-out the process and wear its customer down.
Ultimately, many (if not most) of the claims for reimbursement are denied --- by "BLAMING" the consumer for the bank's negligence that gave rise to the account breach.
There are stories popping up all over the country that clearly demonstrate that Fifth Third Bank has defective internal processes to protect its customers from check fraud (defective and antiquated software, failure/refusal to inspect in-coming checks, insufficient training of staff, failure to provide a good-faith reimburesement process, etc.)
Here is a story of Toledo, Ohio coupe, who lost nearly $10,000 after Fifth Third failed to protect his account from check fraud. 13abc
Victim Ann Evans “'Multiple federal laws were broken here, and we don’t seem to be getting anybody all that interested. We get the same nice tone of voice ‘yeah we can see why you would be upset but no one’s really done anything,' said Anne Evans.
They’ve not yet received their money back.
All of that still leaves families ....stuck in the middle and out thousands of dollars after doing nothing wrong.
'If the banks don’t have sense, enough equipment, to look at checks and kick out things that have been whited out and lines are missing that should be there, then they’ve got no business putting checks through at all,' said Anne Evans."
_________________________________
Our law firm will be publishing similar media stories throughout the weeks ahead regarding Fifth Third's dereliction of the most fundamental duty: keeping the funds safe.
As the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has stated in its pending lawsuit against Fifth Third (for an unrelated but similarly egregious and predatory practice targeting its customers):
"Fifth Third has focused on its own financial interests to the detriment of its consumerers...misrepresented terms and conditions...falsified records, violates Consumer Finanical Protection Act, Truth in Lending At, Truth in Savins Act."
To grasp the magnitude of the problem. here is Senator Sherrod Brown's 3/2023 letter to the CEO of the American Bankers Association:
"Check washing has become an elaborate and organized method of successfully scamming consumers and banks. In 2022, banks saw an 84% increase in check fraud, costing consumers an
estimated $815 million.
The increase in check fraud has left many Americans in difficult situations where thousands of dollars are stolen from them. Making matters worse, banks are delaying the process of resolving their fraud claims by weeks and even months.
According to reports, banks fail to properly identify fraudulently-altered checks and when they do – they ultimately fail to timely reimburse victims. Reports suggest that primarily larger banks
shift liability to other banks that deposit washed and other fraudulent checks, thereby entering a drawn-out process of resolving issues of liability and reimbursement.
Delays in resolving claims of fraud further exacerbates the stress that American families are under – whether it’s their inability to cover bills, rent, groceries, or being left in the dark as to when they will be reimbursed.
Such circumstances harm consumers and their trust in our financial institutions to old and secure their funds.
In light of the many concerns raised by consumers, we are concerned by banks inability to effectively identify washed and other types of fraudulently-altered checks, timely process claims,
and reimburse those that have lost thousands of dollars.
Consumers should not be left waiting for their accounts to be made whole again. It is the responsibility of banks to properly address these concerns and to reimburse consumers in a timely manner. To that end, we urge you to expeditiously come up with a plan to assist your members in addressing this problem by reducing check fraud and resolving fraud claims. Please provide us with a briefing on how you plans to address this issue with your members, by March 17, 2023"

Story for last week. Banking customer literally brought to tears, when she was victimized TWICE. First, by the thiefs who broke into her checking account via rapidly rising crime of check-washing. Second, when her bank, Wells Fargo declined to immediately reimburse her for her loss, and then put her through the ringer with delays, obstructions, lies, etc..... It was only when a TV reporter shined the klieg light on the consumer fraud perpetrated by the bank, did Wells Fargo sheepishly reimburse its customer. This is not a system that protects consumers. Likely thousands of banking victims face this situation each year. Most have no idea how to battle the big banks (particularly the elderly, disabled, and immigrants with limited English). And many banks KNOW this. They are counting on it.

fails to protect this customer (and many more) from check-washing scheme, and then obstructs/delays/and wears their customer down as she goes through its gaunlet to seek reimbursement for its negligence. That is, until the TV reporter calls the bank.
"Joyce Goldenstern, who lives in the South Loop, said in July someone stole her check from the mail and doctored it, a practice also called check washing.
"They whited out the name and the amount," she said. "They changed the $9.12 cents to $9,900. It's my retirement money."
She quickly noticed the nearly $10,000 missing from her account, filed a police report and called her bank, Fifth Third Bank. She said she was told that the presumed thief deposited the altered check using thief's bank's phone app.
"Their software didn't check it and my bank didn't clear it by me, because I never write checks for that amount, that much," said Goldenstern.
She said Fifth Third Bank told her the investigation and her refund could take about six months.
About a week after the I-Team alerted Fifth Third Bank, a spokesperson said the funds were returned to Goldenstern.
Fifth Third also said it's committed to helping protect its customers against fraud, and added it encourages them to use online or mobile pay to avoid checks all together.
"What we're seeing right now is an increase in check washing scams," FBI Special Agent Siobhan Jonson said."
