Dear Better Business Bureau,
I am in receipt of the complaint submitted to your agency by ***********************. His concern involves our Overdraft Protection Services.
I was able to assist him be providing clarity on Comerica Overdraft Protection options, and our Enhanced Overdraft Services.
For his review I attached a copy of our Enhanced Overdraft Consent form.
When does Comerica pay overdrafts? "We pay overdrafts at our discretion, which means we do not guarantee that we will always authorize and pay any type of transaction. If we do not authorize and pay an overdraft, your transaction will be declined."
Business and Personal Deposit Contract Section 2.30 Overdraft Protection:
"If you request and we approve overdraft protection for your designated Checking Account, we will transfer funds from a designated Overdraft Protection Account to your Checking Account to cover Overdrafts caused by debits including but not limited to withdrawals, transfers, ATM and Debit Card transactions, other electronic transactions, and Service Charges, subject to transfer and credit limits described in this Contract, including the Brochure.Overdraft is defined in Section 1.46. The Overdraft Protection Accounts we currently offer are described below, however not all types are available for use in all markets. Transfers from an Overdraft Protection Account to cover the amount of the days Overdraft will be as follows:
a. Savings Account An amount necessary, up to the Available Balance in the Savings Account to cover the days Overdraft.
b. Comerica equity line of credit A minimum transfer of $50 and additional increments of $10 as necessary, but not to exceed the available credit, to cover the days Overdraft.
c. Credit Card A minimum transfer of $100 and additional increments of $100 as necessary, but not to exceed the available credit, to cover the days Overdraft."

On July 4, 2024 I reported an extremely suspicious purchase made in ******* on my direct Express card which I receive social security payments on. I was told I would receive a questionnaire packet via mail regarding the issue. I have not received the questionnaire. The issue remains unresolved. I myself have been blocked at times from making legitimate purchases. I don't understand how *******'s security can be so poor that Comerica would allow a purchase from ******* to be approved. There are numerous news articles that warn American consumers of scams operating from the country of *******. It's common knowledge at this point. Comerica's slow response to this issue is alarming. Social security is crucial for recipients survival. My funds should be refunded immediately. Comerica seems to have an issue with these type of complaints. I would like a quick and timely investigation and return of my funds. I contacted Comerica immediately while the purchase was still pending. I do not understand how Comerica could allow fraudsters to steal my funds while the purchase after I reported it and while the purchase was still pending. I would like my social security funds returned immediately.Business Response

I placed my trust in Comerica many years ago and had my money in a CD. A branch employee convinced me to meet a financial consultant at Comerica. This consultant told me he could manage the money and make great returns so I switched accounts and moved a large sum into investments. They told me it was still Comerica. The large sum was managed very poorly but that is a separate issue. I had $2500 left in a small account that was non-investment. I was told these accounts were linked. I go up to the branch on ******* once a year for a meeting with the investment person. All of a sudden yesterday I open a letter that says my account was changed to zero with no explanation. I call and sit on hold for 6 minutes to be told my money was sent to the state because it was a dormant account. There was not one attempt to call me or email me about this. Zero communication. Then was told that my account was not considered linked. Now, I would like to move my investment account but the investment consultant is being evasive and difficult. Taking large sums of money from me on one side and then sending my other money off to the state without communication is awful customer service but I truly believe is breaking certain regulations in banking. They approached me for moving my money to investment. They approached me about meeting at the same branch as the other account. But they send my money off like I had vanished? And they make it difficult for me to manage my money now? I wasted investment fees with Comerica but now am losing out of my interest I was earning. I would like to be reimbursed for the wasted fees I paid and also the interest I am not earning while I have to recover my funds from the state. Can I have someone help me with an audit? Or should I also file a complaint with the Governor?Business Response
