  Good day, 

  I wanted review the complaint further and/or understand if the person that is filing the complaint is the right person with whom we may have had business with: 

  On our records, we can only find a partial match of the complainant's details: only able to match a variation of the first name and phone number; however, email and physical address are not a match. 

  Our records show the account related to the individual was set to "charge-off" on August 6, 2020 - this was an account where the individual was a joint signer. If we are able to truly identify the complainant as the right person/match to our system, we can address accordingly. 

  Lastly, the complainant has not reached Ocean Bank directly as of today. 

  Several

  Ocean bank charged me for charges that I did not agree to make. I ensured ahead of time that I had the right coverage of insurance and they went ahead and purchased insurance for me. This then locked up my account with a $8,500 charge for almost a month racking up fees and interest. They then claim I only sent them proof of flood insurance and not hazard but in the email sent months prior she said my hazard was fine I needed more flood insurance. I sent them proof 2 months prior and they STILL went ahead and bought me flood insurance. This hurt and delayed home improvements because I did not have money to pay my workers and they ignored my emails and are refusing to help me for THEIR mistake claiming they can buy me insurance if mine does not have enough coverage. I told them they cannot do that if I sent them proof 2 months prior and they are refusing to listen to me.

  In December of 2023, I noticed an almost $8,000 charge on my account. I asked ********************** what it was and it took them almost 1 month to tell me it was them charging me and buying isnurance for me because I did not have enough coverage. I then sent them an email thread from October where they told me I didn't and then I bought more and sent them proof. They then removed it in January but charged me interest and required me to pay my monthly interest charges for the month. This is not fair because the extra $8,000 charge put me over my limit and did not let me access and funds, it is not fair I have to pay for their mistakes. They keep saying (according to their lawyer), that they can do that if I do not have coverage but what they are FAILING to realize is I sent them proof in October and they went ahead and still did it 2 months later locking up my account and then forcing me to pay interest. They then screwed up my credit and I applied for a credit card but was denied cause that account was delinquent because of their poor managing. I want to be refunded for those monthly payments and interest as that is not my fault. They are a a poorly managed company and need to pay for their mistakes. They keep saying they are allowed to do that if I don't have coverage but what I told them 100 times is I sent them proof and they still did it.

  My paycheck was deposited into my account. I paid my landlord for my rent and had $900 left in my account when ********************** took the remainder of my balance and sent it elsewhere or made it disappear. Now my account is negative I could not pay for my cell phone and other automated payments are getting rejected Causing late fees and returned payment fees. Ocean bank does not have weekend customer service so I spent all weekend penniless without my cell phone service or any gas to get to work.

  First, this bank allowed a fraud charge to go through and then when I addressed the issue, they did not immediately resolve it. When I inquired if an overdraft fee, the representative said they were unsure if I would be charged one. Then, I was not just charged one, but two overdrafts. When I put in a balance inquiry, they only sent me a copy and paste message to contact my representative. So I contact using the email provided and the representative did not even bother to write me back. They replaced the money due to the fraud, but never resolved the overdraft fee. So down the road my account overdrafts due to a payment that went through automatically, but I covered it immediately. Then they still charged me not one overdraft, but two because their overdraft put me over again. I just put in a balance inquiry and I don't expect to get any help with it. Due to their poor hours, I can only email them, but their customer service is totally unresponsive.
