Truist Bank (formerly BB&T Bank) Holding car title hostage

Hello,

I sold my car to a dealership in Marlow Heights Maryland on March 28th 2022. The dealership completed the sell of the car on April 1 2022, buy paying the remainder of the car to Truist on April 1, 2022. I was then informed by Truist about two weeks later that there was a hold on the title because they were going to send the title to me, but did not because the dealership payed off the car, so the title should be sent to them. I called truist 7 times up to now to try to get the problem resolved, and the problem still persists because they have yet to send the title to the dealership, and 5 weeks has passed up til now. This is totally unacceptable as they state that the in house hold is still there as they are working to remove the hold and send the title to the dealer. Removing a hold and sending the title to the dealer does not take 5 weeks. Mean time the dealer had sold the car that I sold to them, and I am out the money they owe me, and the car is gone. The dealer says that they have my check waiting but are still waiting on the title from Truist. This dragging is quite ridiculous. I am now pursuing a case with BBB and the consumer protection agency in Maryland, as Truist is completely wrong and very slow to resolution on this important matter.

Desired outcome: I want the title sent to the dealer so I can receive my money from the dealership as soon a s possible.

Truist Bank (formerly BB&T Bank) Fraud Department

I was alerted to fraudulent activity by Truist on Friday, April 15, 2022, via text message. There were two charges on my account, one for $500.00 and one for $419.24. I contacted Truist to discuss the charges, which originated in Miramar, Florida. The Truist agent told me my information was most likely stolen from a gas pump. The Truist agent wanted to cancel my card, but since it was Friday afternoon and I did not have any cash on hand and my car was low on gas, I told him not to cancel it until I could get some money out of my account. I went to the local ATM in Mt Pleasant, SC and withdrew $200.00. I then called Truist back and told them to cancel my card, which they did, subsequently issuing a new card. I received the new card the following week.

Over the weekend, I checked my account and saw that the $500.00 charge had been credited back to my account, but the $419.24 was in the pending status. I called Truist back and inquired about the charge and was told I had to wait until the charge was posted to my account and then file a fraud claim. I filed a claim as soon as the charge was posted, however, I was never contacted by anyone regarding my claim.

I called Truist Tuesday, May 3, 2022, to check the status of my claim and was told it was denied. I was then advised by the Truist agent that I could file a review, which I did. That in turn was denied. The agent stated the reason for the denial was a mobile devise had been used in the transaction and I had not reported my card or phone stolen. They also said the charge at the Mt Pleasant, SC Walgreen’s on April 28, 2022, was from a mobile devise as well, and I had not filed a claim for that charge.

None of this is true. I do not use any mobile banking devise. I only use my check card. Additionally, the April 28th charge was made by me from my new check card that was mailed to my address in Mt. Pleasant, SC. I explained all of this to the agent on the phone, he then forwarded that to the supervisor. The agent then stated that the supervisor said he/she was not able to see which card was used on the April 28th transaction, only the investigator could see that information. I do not understand how a supervisor can deny a claim without being able to see all the evidence. I asked repeatedly to speak with the supervisor but was told I could not and the only other thing I could do was file a complaint.

I filed the complaint with the agent with all the above-referenced information. The Truist agent then told me a supervisor would contact me within 24-48 hours. I have never received a call from them within that time frame.

I called Truist fraud department on Friday, May 06, 2022, to inquire as to why I did not receive a call within the stated time frame and was told the 24–48-hour time frame means 24-48 business hours, and someone should contact me by today and if I have not heard from anyone by Monday, to call them back. If this is the case, then customers should be told someone will contact them within 3-5 business days, not 24-48 hours. The agent also wanted to file a new complaint on this claim. It would be very redundant to file a new claim, when I cannot even get the current claim resolved.

Desired outcome: Please refund my money.

Truist Bank (formerly BB&T Bank) not being able to transfer my money

I have been a client with SunTrust Bank for over 20 years. I 'm now living in the Netherlands but had a home in Florida. Due to the illness of my husband we had te return to the Netherlands and sold our house in Florida. We put the money from the sale in our Money Markt account with SunTrust. Trough a system set up for International wire transfers I was able to send money to our bank account in the Netherlands when I needed it. This worked fine until SunTrust became Truist Bank on February 20th, 2022. Now I'm not able to get my money to the Netherlands! On April 28 th I phonend for 3 hours with several departments of Truist Bank but nobody was able te help me out. I tried to call my former branch office of SunTrust in Davenport FL 33897 but never was able to speak to a representative of this branch because now one picked up the phone and I got stuck with an answering machine. Left a message for a return call to me which never took place in the last 8 days. I wrote a letter to the bank manager of Truist Bank in Davenport FL and send it by special international delivery. I know it was deliverd to the bank office on Monday May 3rd but until now nobody has been in contact with me to get things sorted out. I don't know what to do next. Please help me!

Desired outcome: To have set up a new international wire transfer system asap because I need my money from Florida for payment of medical treatment for my husband.

Truist Bank (formerly BB&T Bank) Overdraft charges and non esf charges

Been a customer since 2013 and always had no problems with this. Feb this year they said I changed something in mobile app to allow me to get more money that wasnt available off card. I never agreed to this and they have said I have fees of 588.00 and thats overdraft charges. I called several times since this began in April and nothing happened. Now I had a work bonus come through that was for personal loans and the bank withdrew it and said it was owed to them for overdraft charges. 588.00 is crazy. I dont owe anything. I kept up with my money and they said the mobile app wasnt always accurate or slow. Please help I am single mother and I have cancer and I work hard for my money and this money has set me in the hole 800 because my personal loan couldnt be paid because they kept it. Bank said oh well Im sorry cant help you. I have all my statements

Desired outcome: The return of my money and help with the loan they caused me to fall on and neglect a payment as promised

Truist Bank (formerly BB&T Bank) Mishandling of my escrow account concerning my tax exemption on my mortgage.

For two days I was either on hold, transferred to departments that don't answer and hung up on. During the experience where my goal was to speak to a competent csr I filed two complaints. After I realized that there was no way to get to such person via phone I started chatting with csr on my mortgage website. Explained the problems to at least two different csr and was promised a phone call within two business days. Well that time has definitely passed. I am a senior citizen with a small mortgage and its clear my issues are not worth their time. Sad and unprofessional. Now we are contemplating retaining an attorney to help us resolve the escrow issues truist has created. I would never recommend this company and would keep my money in a shoebox instead of trusting them.

Desired outcome: I want to speak to a qualified manager in the tax department who can solve my escrow situation that was totally manufactured by the incompetence of your employees.

Truist Bank (formerly BB&T Bank) No response after name change documents regarding loan modification

Back in November of 2021 I received documents from BB&t for a loan modification which I was happy to accept however the name on the loan of my ex-wife had changed and since she is still on the loan they cannot process the loan modification documents without the name change and all the documentation that they needed to confirm her name has been changed since she remarried so I sent all the documentation that they needed and they have completed the name change on my account her name now represents her new married name so I waited and called trying to get the loan modification documents resent with the new name on them and it is now the end of April 2022 and I have not seen the loan modification documents yet I have called several times and representatives tell me that the documents are being made the last phone call I had just a couple of weeks ago a lady said that the documents were on the way and I have yet to see them and I keep calling every month and they keep assuring me but I do not think they understand or know what's going on because I have seen nothing and I keep getting warning letters regarding my account and I'm patiently waiting for the new revised documents for the loan modification which was already agreed upon that they sent back in November of 2021 to sign and return to them but no one is helping me nor are they in a hurry it seems like to get me the documents that I need with the corrected name on them

Desired outcome: All I need is for the company to resend the loan modification documents now that my ex-wife name has been updated in their account so they can be signed and sent back in

Truist Bank (formerly BB&T Bank) New checking account

To whom it may concern,

I opened a checking account on Friday 4-22 at the Hwy 85 location. Today, 4-27, I call to check up on the account and am told that it was closed/blocked due to suspicious activity and my funds are not accessible. I do not understand how paying 1bill constitutes fraud. I've been given the run around about this all day today with no access to my funds AT ALL! I am a mother of 2 young kids therefore need all of my money. Support via the fraud department has been non existent. Again, my family needs my money. Please help me fix this. At this point we want nothing to do with Truist. we just want our money. Seriously considering legal action at this point.

Truist Bank (formerly BB&T Bank) Customer Service and Checking Account Being Blocked

I deposited a Vanguard 403b retirement distribution check in the amount of $1,929.43 into my Truist checking account on 4/7/22. The check was placed on hold for 8 days. On 4/16/22 I attempted to withdraw money from my checking account and was told that my account was blocked do to fraud. I met with the Bank Manager at the Oxon Hill location on 4/18/22 and we called Truist Fraud Dept. and was placed on hold for over 90 minutes. When finally spoke with someone in the Fraud Dept. we were told that the check was a fraudulent check. On 4/19/22, I called my former employer and explained what happened. The CFO of my former compnay stated that the check came from Vanguard and the check was a real check. I called Vangaurd and spoke with Julia. Julia called Matrix Trust Company (they distributed the funds). All 3 of us called Truist to see what the challenge was and to explain that the check was a real and that the funds were covered. After being put on hold for over 60 minutes, Vanguard and Matrix Trust Compnay reps could not stay on the phone any longer. I revisited the Truist Oxon Hill location again on 4/26/22 to check the status of my account and was told that tge fruad department is still investigating. This makes no sense. The bank blocked my account but they still managed to take out fees for processing and NSFs. They took out over $600 in fees but denied the transactions.

Desired outcome: I would like to speak with a Manager from Truist on why this happened. I would like to get a refund for all of the bank fees and my account to be unblocked.

Truist Bank (formerly BB&T Bank) Hold on check

I made a deposit in my account last Friday. I was told there would be a hold on my check for 10 days later because i endorsed the check with a different signature. Crazy because Truist wasnt the issuing bank. The following day I went into a branch to show my signature and also bought a copy of the check that had already cleared the issuing bank. The branch was unable to release the hold. I called the customer service number several times only to be told that they have no additional information, they couldnt release the hold and they could not connect me to the back office to get any information on my money. That is just wrong. If my money was cleared by the other bank how is it right for you to hold on to it because the BACK of the check had a wrong signature.

The second I get my money I am closing my account. Truist has no structure and they are practicing things that CANNOT be right. Absolute worst bank ever. Now my mortgage will be late because of your incompetence.

Desired outcome: I need my money

Truist Bank (formerly BB&T Bank) Automatic overdraft protection causing 4 overdraft fees of $36.00 ea = $144.00

Sometime back in September, 2021, several transactions were approved all though there were not enough funds to cover them. BB&T (Truist) reversed the overdraft fees and it was much appreciated. However, the same thing has happend again.

In September, it should have been explained to me that I would need to go to the bank and sign a document in order to opt out of the. Since it was not, the same thing has happened. Please reverse the overdraft fees associated with the banks error.

I have been to your bank in Onley VA signed to opt out in the future.

Thank you,

Wayne Carpenter

Desired outcome: Reverse Overdraft fees of $144.00 (4 at 36.00 ea.)

Truist Bank (formerly BB&T Bank) Fraud case

On April 7th $23,000.00 was wired from my business account that I did not authorize. I received a call that afternoon from what I believed was a Truist representative. (The fraud department verified the evening of the 7th that one of their representatives had indeed called me). He said that my account had been hacked and ask that I go in and change my password. He gave me a temp password. I didn't change my password until that evening but it was to late because the money was wired out. The fraud department told me the wire fraud department was closed so I would need to call the next morning.

On April 8th at 8:00am I called the wire fraud department. They said that it must have been a mistake because the money was still in the account, which it was.

That afternoon the fraud dept. called me and said that the money had been wired out and there wasn't anything that they could do. They would try to get the money back but probably couldn't get it all, if any. They told me to lock that account and open a new one which I did that same day, Friday the 8th. By Monday the 11th the new account had been hacked again. Since I was at the bank at 9:00am that morning they verified that the account was hacked again and the account was closed.

Desired outcome: I need for Truist to replace the $23,000.00.

Truist Bank (formerly BB&T Bank) Poor customer service at branch

On 4/25/2022 at approximately 12:30 I visited the Brunswick, Georgia Truist branch. I asked Ruth M about splitting a deposit I was going to make. She stated that it could be done - no problem. Upon speaking with the teller, the transaction could not be accomplished. I asked another question regarding not receiving a new Truist debit card. The teller pondered and then told me I would receive another card within 7-10 business days. There was NO other information provided regarding my debit card. Much to my shock, I was unable to use my card two hours later. Not knowing what was wrong I went back into the branch at 14:30 to get the issue remedied. When I arrived back at the branch, the only person available to speak with was Ruth M. I asked what happened with my card and told her I was unhappy with her and the teller considering I was given wrong information initially. After using an expletive in a regular voice to describe the lack of service, Ruth M became enraged (she was actually shaking), and told me to not speak that way or... I explained that I was misled by her about the split deposit as well as the teller not informing me about the option of a temporary debit card.

Ruth M showed no customer service skills at all. She kept giving me excuses as to why each did not do their job. In addition, she was extremely unfriendly and should be trained to deal with all types of people; not just the folks smiling from ear-to-ear and nodding their heads in agreement. I expect better service and more professionalism from someone who deals with the public on a regular basis. I never had this issue from SunTrust Bank professionals.

Desired outcome: I would like an apology. I would also like to know that employees are better trained in customer service and the tellers more informed on ALL services available prior to making major changes to an account.

Truist Bank (formerly BB&T Bank) the mailing of my Debit card to Germany

Day 18 now still have not received my debit card. If this is truist customer service at its best. I certainly do not desire to see it at its worst. I have been with this bank when it was 1st Virginia, Crestar, SunTrust (38 years total) and now Truist I have not been impressed with their service whatsoever they are definitely not customer oriented. It seems to me they have no interest in their customers I advised them I lived abroad and limited to how I can draw money from my account they still refused to expidite the shipment of the debit card. So like I said at the beginning of this complaint it's been 18 days and I still cannot witdraw funds from my bank account!
