  CIBC claimed a personal loan was taken out in my account. I never did this and they filed a charge to a credit collections in 2020.. I filed a police investigation of fraud and also did many reports with CIBC themselves. I was informed in 2022 December this was written off and a letter was sent to me. I find out from ******* CIBC still has this line of credit destroying my credit rating. I have dealt with Tyler Lisa Kerri Ann Frankel and many more employees who do not take the escalation clearly and simply threaten me to pay , I am being ******** and my credit rating ruined . I need this line of credit corrected and released. It is a fraudulent matter.

  I opened a chequing account online, was told I needed to go into the bank with 2 pieces of ID which I did. CIBC sent the account to fraud department for some reason and held on to insurance money that was deposited into that account. When I called to find out why I don't have access to money they said I had to bring in 2 pieces of photo ID, a utility bill, tax assessment and employment verification. I went into the branch and supplied all of this information and my account is still on hold almost a week later. I have opened bank accounts online before and have never had to present all of this information and have never had an account frozen. CIBC is the worst bank to deal with. I'm being treated like a criminal and all I did was open a bank account online. **** ** *** **** ********** ******* *** * ** ****** ***** *** **** ** ***** ** ***** ****** *** ** ******. How can an institution just keep your money? I will be going into the bank tomorrow and not leaving until my money is released. ** *** **** **** **** ******* I regret opening this account and will be closing it as soon as I have access to my money.

  I keep getting two statements each month and am expected to pay twice to avoid interest on my credit cards. I have spent 6 months trying to get CIBC to send one statement per month. Contacting them is almost impossible and they do nothing. Probably the worst service I have ever encountered.

  CIBC has failed to close the two debit card accounts that were compromised and put into overdraft as of July 17, 2022, despite destroying the debit card. They investigated the matter and issued me a refund as of August 18, 2022. I expected the accounts to be closed, but they weren't, and they incurred overdraft fees as a result. CIBC has asked me to pay the overdraft amount in order to get the accounts, or else they will put a delinquency on my credit report. I had to pay the fees to have them removed from my account, but I would like a refund because the overdraft fees were incurred because the account was not closed until July 2022.

  I would like it for somebody in CIBC to get something off of my report. I'm working hard to build my credit and it keeps showing, a closed credit card from 2004 which I closed myself and it was paid in full. I need someone and CIBC to go and remove that finally once and for all of my credit. All that keeps doing is ruining my credit on something that was paid almost 20 years ago. It should not be on there. I would like somebody to look at this ASAP. I also have a car loan that was paid almost 20 years ago for $20,500 was paid in full and that should not be showing on my account either.

  This is regards to CIBC Loan #********** I used an auto loan to finance part of a vehicle purchase in July and subsequently paid the dealership to pay off the full amount. When this amount was paid and credited to CIBC, the first payment had already come out of my account, which was understandable. What happened next was however, not understandable at all. I called dozens of times asking when I would be reimbursed and most agents were completely unhelpful until finally I was transferred to an account manager named ****** *******. I explained the situation and was told by **** that he apologized, gave me his number for follow up and said that he could see in the system that the cheque had been sent. It turned out that this was not the case and that the cheque was actually 'sent' at the end of September. In my subsequent attempts to get through to ******, he nor anyone in his office answered the phone once in many attempts during business hours. He then responded with a dismissive secure email message that was essentially a copy paste 'contact customer service.' I did this, and in my last communication was told that there would be a follow up email by the agent.. This was over a month ago and there never was any. This happened to me with 2 different agents. It is now December and the cheque has not been recieved at my former address where I no longer live (I am in contact with the caretaker) nor at my forwarding address with ****** ****. I am now out nearly 600 dollars due to CIBCs incompetence and lack of professionalism and it appears they simply do not care. I no longer live in Canada and expect to recieve my money, I am no longer there to receive this cheque. After 5 months of attempting to resolve this I would appreciate that someone that can actually do soemthing about this would contact me to resolve this.

  Currently I have **** ******** privilege credit card. As a benefit, it comes with many perks while travelling when customer uses *** ******. Due to their process issue, *** ****** didn’t get the system notification that I have **** ******** privilege credit card so I didn’t get all the benefit that credit card outlined for 10 months out of 12 months. I needed to call cinc number of times and ******** number of times in order for me to figure out the situation. Due to result, i lost E upgrade points, lost all my roll over EQM EQD, and i am still at lower tier, their promised companion cards etc and they finally offered me $100 for compensation today. By roughly calculating my lost value is close to $8000 to $10,000 min plus all the phone calls and hassle at the airport, i think I need better than $100 compensation. They said they cannot get hold of ******** and last 4 months which is the reason they cannot help my situation and mean while, i could call ******** same day with bit of wait time. I didnt sign up for all this while i am paying highest credit card annual fee.

  I filed a consumer proposal in 2018. I paid it off early. Cibc is the only creditor who has not removed their accounts as "open" and "available" credit. I do not have any credit with Cibc yet as having "0pen" accounts and not utilizing any of my credit, it is lowering my credit score while i am rebuilding it. One open account says i have $10,000 available and the other account says $3,000 available. There is no account information that is linked to each account, so i am not sure what to do.
