Theres always issues with my account and it takes up to 90 days to rectify any problem. I recently had a fraud activity that I needed to send proof and long questionnaire in order to have any due process. Now *** noticed theres been multiple pending charges that also got deducted and yet my money is still on hold in pending transactions even after 30 days. Ive called customer service to no avail & have had bad customer service as well all with the exception of the 1 agent that assisted in my fraud claim.

My name is ************************************* and I have a checking account with ********************** in ********, **********. For your reference, my checking account number is **********. I have been a long time good customer with **********************, but I want to express my dissatisfaction with you today as I had an awful experience. On February 12th, 2024, I visited your ****************** Branch ***, located at ***************************************. As usual, I went to the *** and it was broken with the message saying "please try another location". Almost every single time I visit this ***, it's out of service. I then wasted another 30 minutes going to another Comerica location in ****** **** only to find that machine was out of money. I ended up having to go to a **** of America *** instead and was charged $3.00 plus I just got charged ANOTHER $2.50 from Comerica Bank. I want these fees reversed and you should reimburse me for my travel time and gas for this incident. This is absolutely ridiculous. I literally went to multiple branches and your ***'s are mostly out of service. I never have this problem with ANY other bank except yours. I am respectfully demanding all of these fees to be reversed. Best,*************************************

Better Business Bureau,

I am in receipt of the complaint submitted to your agency by *************************************. He is concerned about *** processing fees he was assessed to his checking account.
I have reviewed his concern and determined Comerica had two *** machines that were unavailable briefly due to monthly scheduled maintenance. ******************** was assessed $5.50 in *** processing fees since he utilized a non-Comerica ***. His account was reimbursed for the *** fees he was assessed on February 14, 2024.
I left ******************** a voice message stating his account was credited $5.50. Please encourage ******************** to contact me at the telephone number listed below if he has questions or additional concerns. I would be happy to speak with him.

Sincerely,

I walked into Comerica bank and requested to close my account on 12/8/23. I showed my drivers license and was issued a check for the balance and gave them my checkbook to shred. The account was NEVER closed and Comerica continues to attach monthly maintenance fees to this account. ********************** also did the same thing to my brother. I called the service center and for their error they refuse to close the account unless I come back in person AGAIN to close my account. VERY POOR business.

This is proof they charged my account twice. Flex charged my card on the 3rd and on the 1st of December. The payment they took on 3rd overdrafted my account causing me to loose 250 that Comerica is trying to steal from me!!!!!!!!!! I have explained several times to Comerica I was overdrafted due to flex charging me twice and they are gaslighting me literally calling me a liar and always trying to explain to me what happened instead of listening to me on what happened!!!!! I Also sent these pictures to csiretailinvestigations email address and was completely ignored. I came to leave a bad review then I saw it would be on bbb and now this is my last line of defense without taking legal action. Comerica is trying to withhold 250 dollars from me 15 already in my account, the 195 Brinkers check, and the 40 something dollars out of the ****** payment from flex. Flex caused me more confusion than necessary and Comerica knows the payment was wrongly put on my account why wouldnt they reimburse me everything that I lost during the process while they sorted things out????

after 2 years with the bank for my personal and business banking i was assigned a small business banker. ***************************, he offered my company a line of credit . I was told that it would be at 10% APR flat. i told him i had a higher interest loan at 13% and my plan was to pay that off with the line. he said great this will work for you then. I reviewed the documents and and of course he left the fine details out. there would also be a yearly interest added if the Balance was held for more than a year (4.75%) . he never said anything about this but i knew i would not be holding it that long. once the paperwork was signed he tried to get me to take the full $100,000. I told him i did not need it all right now. he told me " i have never had anyone not just take it all at once" . Defiantly felt like he was trying to push me to take out money i did not need so i would be paying more interest. after multiple calls with him it was setup so i could draw the funds into my account. i paid off my original lower interest rate loan with the funds.Today i received a bill from the bank for and the rate was almost 14% . this is not what we discussed at all. after rereading the foreign language that is leaglis the only numbers even in the paper work where 4.75 % & 2.5% so im still very confused where these numbers are even coming from or how they came up with them. "4.75% per annum" - sounds like only on a full year "annum". after paying all of my bills on time and being a good customer the quality of service has continued to diminish rapidly! i was conned into paying off a lower interest rate with a higher one by deception. i am very very upset and want this matter corrected NOW! at no point was i told or given in writing any number other than 10% ! I had much better offers from companies that where not being deceptive . I contacted ***** today and he was unapologetic about the issues, as the day has gone on i feel more and more like this loan was predatory

I understand that ************** is not satisfied with the Bank's position regarding his complaint and interest rate on his line of credit. Our position remains unchanged. The bottom-line is that the credit agreement that ****************** loan entails clearing outlines that the interest rate can vary.

Comerica Bank has held a check for longer than the original seven days as discussed. During the initial conversation with Comerica, Comerica agreed to waive the 7 day hold, this did not happen as promised. Meanwhile, we had expenses and needed funds in which we spent. During the 10 day period that my check was on hold, Comerica charged my account 26 overdraft fees equaling $988. I have spoke to customer service on two different occasions, which both times they told me I would have to visit a branch to resolve this issue. I have then visited two different branches, which neither of them could resolve the issue. Finally got a hold of the employee where the check was initially deposited and who stated funds would be released the next day. She stated that she stated otherwise the day of the 8th and tried calling us to let us know, but somehow had the wrong phone number on file. How convenient. We feel this is theft of almost $1000 out of our business account. The money was in the account. We have spoke to a handful of branches and customer service representatives, but have gotten no where.
