not a gimmick to offer no annual fee the first year. common. credit cards do not automatically close when you close a checking account. for investing google: discount brokers.
international travelers should use a credit card to pay travel agencies. not wires. any company not accepting a credit card is a SCAM.
also consider using travelocity for flights and hotels.
first thought was - check your credit reports. then I saw "had social security fraud". make sure your credit reports are CLEAN. forget about getting a score. get the reports at annualcreditreport, com. also google: chexsystems and get your report. all of this is totally free.
i don't know what social security fraud is, but I hope it has been resolved.
yea, regions bank did the same exact thing to me. they should have told you that a hold would be placed on a check larger than 4, 000. i learned my lesson about large checks. on top of that, if you cuss them out slightly they close your account.
transfer in the us? thanks for informing us. if I can lose 3, 000 in a day (and continue to daily lose money) i will fly and deliver it in person.
too many people go in to chit-chat. she judged you. if you need to open an account just do it online. if in person, make sure you know what you want and that you know all the fees and minimums. with a list of questions. never open an account without researching it first.
it would be like going to a car dealership without having a clue of what you want. waste of time.
for the next bank you use. 1-check your chexsystems report and make sure that you are in good standing with any other checkings. owing another bank money will definitively close a new account. 2. if you moved recently make sure suntrust has correct address immediately. 3. banks don't seem to like cashiers checks since they are often scams. 4. if you say any cuss word at them they will close your account. 5. sometimes they close it when you overdraft too much. 6. purchases from some illicit sites will also close accounts.
know that they do not do ANY checks when you open the account. they do those after since they take time.
anyone can put money into a checking account. no dr. lic required. getting a balance is a different story. imagine if a stranger could deposit $200 into your checking and get the balance without identification? Bill Gates would would have a cow.
i hope you got a lawyer and sued them for billions. it is illegal for a bank to charge an overdraft fee unless you are in the negative.
