Our bank took it upon themselves to pay the penalty instead of us.

“Our bank should have not intervened”. My reply, the reason they are my financial institution, is because they Value their customers. A closing department mistake should never be pass on to customer.
Yeah, they flat out don't like it if you don't use Citizens, happened to me, too. Hopefully, now that they are getting out of Citizens, that will change.
