I purchased a car in the State of ******** and financed a portion of it due to title and paperwork reasons the finance manager gave me. The interest rate was incredibly high for a great credit rating so I wanted to pay it off immediately. I called Truist Bank a week after signing papers to pay the loan off and they refused payment stating I had to wait until I received the letter with an account number. Refusing the payment was fraudulent itself however I agreed to their ways and received the attached letter in the mail on 09/16/2024. I called to payoff the loan to find out $120 interest had already accrued and the first month payment wasn't even due until 10/06/2024. This letter stated to wait until receiving statements to make first payment however I wanted to pay it off so disregarded that. Much to my surprise was the $120 interest. I called Truist Bank and explained that they had already refused my payment due to not having an account number and now has been charging this interest until I did which is fraudulent. They sent me to Supervisor ****** ********* who also refused to adjust the interest. So I agreed to pay it off and report to BBB for the refund at which time he said he couldn't take payoff over the phone and only could take a payment. I offered to make a $18,502 "payment" while on phone and he again refused payment. I started an online account and paid the balance in full but am requesting BBB to get the $120 interest refunded due to the multiple refusal of payments.Business response

I am rejecting this response because:
On Saturday, Aug 24, 2024, I mailed you additional correspondence and documents from my home file.
These papers sent via US mail to be delivered on Tuesday, Aug 27, 2024.
Truist Bank has all this information, yet they continue to state NO beneficiary in their file at the date of death.
Retirement paperwork clearly shows the beneficiary information was dated April 2011 and Jan 2014.
I appreciate your kind assistance in resolving this issue.
IT IS AN INJUSTICE ON HOW THEY ARE HANDLING THIS MATTER WITH ME.

I started an account with ********************** earlier this year, and overall I havent had many issues, however, there are two issues that Ive been trying to get rectified and I keep coming up with nothing. The first thing is that when I set up the account part of the promotional offer that I will receive a $300 incentive if I deposited a certain amount within my account over a certain amount of time, which Ive done. I reached out to customer **********************, they had me send over proof that the promo code was attached to my request to set up the account, which it was and I provided an information, and it has been over a month since Ive heard from anyone. Trust states that you will receive that incentive deposited into your account within 6 to 8 weeks, and I said this account up back in Feb. , at this point I would just like to receive my incentive because to me that is false advertising. My second issue was that I had company whose services I canceled still charge me for their services in May. I immediately filed a claim with Truist, which they denied without requesting any further details or information. The same company, then charged me again in June, and I immediately filed another claim, and reached out to customer ********************** regarding the denial I received in May. The representative asked me for proof of my request for canceling services, which I provided to her via email at the address that she provided. I was then provided a provisional credit for May, and then they came back & withdrew that provisional credit a couple of months later. The company ended up reimbursing me from June, but I still never got the money back for May.Business response

In March 2022 me and my son obtained auto financing through Regional and made monthly payments in excess of ****** (close to 500/per month). In May 2023 the car was hit and deemed a total loss. At the time of purchase *** protection was obtained. Regional received a payment of ********* by the insurance company of the other driver. Regional advised, through multiple communications that they would initiate the *** claim. During the months of June - November 2023 supporting documents were sent by me to Regional to initiate and complete the *** claim. I continued to receive communication from Regional stating that I owed the $6733.59 balance left on the loan. No *** claim had been initiated by Regional. I received notification that Regional was sending the account to collections (2024). After my own investigation I discovered that *** had not been paid or a claim initiated. On July 6, 2024 I sent copies of all correspondence sent by me to Regional in 2023 to pursue the *** claim. On July 19, 2024 I called Regional (the ******************** to learn Regional did receive payment in the amount of $5652.69 on June 10, 2024. Regional continues to state that I owe them money. Why and how do I owe when Regional had all the documents that I sent and Regional sent whatever was needed to *** to receive payment. I sent nothing additional from 2023-2024. Regional had the verification of all information. My credit along with my son's credit has been negatively impacted by this situation. I am seeking final resolution of the bill. I should owe nothing. Regional has charged me interest with a statement saying I owe over $2000.00. I was never contacted by Regional to inform me that they received the *** payment, nor any correspondence detailing why they say I owe them money. This is not a good way to run a business or treat your customers. I have attempted to contact them using the same number previously, they are not answering my calls or returning messages that I have left.Business response

I am writing to formally lodge a complaint against Truist Bank, formerly SunTrust Bank, where I have been a loyal customer for nearly 15 years. I am deeply disheartened by Truist's failure to advocate on my behalf regarding a disputed charge and the refusal to address my grievances against a merchant engaging in unethical practices.On June 29, July 1, and July 8, 2024, I contacted Truist to report an erroneous charge of $650 by ********************** (WECare) for services that were never rendered to my pet, ****. At WECare, my pet was misdiagnosed, and despite this, I was charged for services that were not provided. I informed Truist before and after the $650 charge was posted to my account.On each of these occasions, the Truist representatives noted my account and advised me to seek a refund directly from the merchant. Despite multiple attempts to contact WECare via email and phone, the merchant has not responded to my refund requests. Consequently, I requested Truists Fraud Team to intervene and file a complaint against WECare.During the complaint process, I was asked if my card was in my possession when the transaction occurred. I confirmed it was but clarified that my card should not have been charged as the services were not rendered. I was informed by WECare that my card would only be charged if services were provided, which did not occur.Despite the evidence presented, Truist refused to honor my claim, stating the transaction was legitimate since my card was present. This decision is unjust, considering the clear misrepresentation by WECare and my long-standing relationship with Truist.Given these circumstances, I urge Truist to reassess and honor my claim.Business response

A fraudulant charge occured on my truist credit card on 11/29/2023 in the amount of $5.84 as well as a Foreign Transaction Fee of $.15 as a result. Both charges were reported and case numbers C-****** (.15) and C-****** (5.84) were assigned to the case. I was informed that these fraudulent charges would be reviewed and any additional charges that had resulted because of these charges would be removed from my account with in 90 days, however nothing has been resolved. Addtional charges (late fees) have accured on my credit card account resulting in negative effects on my credit. I have contacted Truist multiple times to recieve information or status on the claims, however no additional information has been provided and I been told that the fraud department is just looking deeper into the case, they are unsure of why it has not been resolved, and when asked, they stated they were unable to send me additional confirmation or documentation of the cases. The only additional information that I was able to obtain was new case numbers of SF-****** (.15) and SF-****** (5.84). I am desiring to close my accounts with ********************** as soon as possible due to continued communication issues, lack of transparency, and issues with service. Please feel free to contact me if any additional information is needed.Business response

i had a fraud claim and received a letter that the claim was finalized and the provisional credit has now been permanent, and everything is resolved. Two weeks later I get another email stating that they are reversing 655.00 of the money when the whole entire fraud claim was the same merchant and it was fraud. The merchant did not even have my information they asked me to give it to them when I inquired about the charges in the beginning. I called the number that it said to call for Truist after receiving the email about 655.00 of the 2745.00 being reversed. After being on hold for 46 min I finally got a person who in the end could not help and I am filing this complaint in hopes of having someone who can explain to me if the whole merchant is fraud how someone can split it into 2 different amounts and perhaps overlook something that was important to make such a bad call. I don't know where their amounts came from but really need to speak to someone who can help me.Business response

Truist Bank Froze both of my accounts with no legal grounds to do so. They say they are investigating wire fraud, but no fraud has occurred. My accounts remain open in a vegetative state where they can be reopened at any time. It's been 30 days and I have only received one letter stating that they would be investigating my accounts. I have called their fraud department and was told to go to a branch , present ID and reopen new accounts. However , my bank teller would not open new accounts because there was no notation on the accounts because someone in the fraud department has no idea how to do their job. So my accounts are still frozen. I can't pay bills or order my online medications for my complicated heart disease. I'm demanding the return of my funds immediately. I want my case expedited and resolved in a fair and timely manner. 30 days is not that. If you want me to remain as a customer I would like at the least an apology for these actions. Or simply close my accounts and let me go into the bank and withdraw my money. My next step is to contact the consumer protection agency and file a complaint with them. I also will be contacting a consumer attorney and filing a civil claim against Truist. I will obtain copies of the recorded phone calls stating from the fraud department twice, to go to the branch and open new accounts. I have spent several hours on hold with different departments, only to get the run around from them. This is a serious matter. Please rectify this issue in 7 days.Sincerely ***********************Business response
