Moe7 Posted April 25, 2004 Report Share Posted April 25, 2004 Basically, My checking account somehow is $1766 short when I check it online (Fifth Third), leaving me with a large negative balance. Of course this has to happen on a Sunday when there's no customer service. When I call the automated system it says my balance is the correct amount, and there were no transactions since Friday (also correct), but my withdrawl balance is the incorrect amount. What are the chances of this just being a computer error? IF it turns out my number got stolen, how long does it normally take to get my money back and will I have to raise hell to avoid overdraw fees?

Guest stevil Posted April 26, 2004 Report Share Posted April 26, 2004 If the number was stolen, I doubt they'd make you pay the overdraft fees. Hopefully just a glitch, good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mensan Posted April 26, 2004 Report Share Posted April 26, 2004 Been there, they make you sign a statement that says you did not make the purchases, and one that says you will help prosecute if they catch the theif. Then they will cover the entire amount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mensan Posted April 26, 2004 Report Share Posted April 26, 2004 Didn't take long at all, and they covered everything in between. Tell them your situation and they should understand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moe7 Posted April 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2004 Originally posted by Mr Blunt 2gnt: so what happened? spill it Honestly.. I'm not totally sure myself, but the manager I talked to said my balance was fine. He said the reason for the low transfer balance is because someone deposited a $1766 check into my account and it has a float on it for a few days, but I have no clue where the check would have come from. Just have to wait a couple days and see what the deal is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
