Truist Bank (formerly BB&T Bank) Discrimination

I am filing this complaint against banker Jazmin Bailey.She screamed at me from across the room"take off your sunglasses this is a bank^,while dealing with another customer..There is no sign about sunglasses posted anywhere.There is no security there to kindly enforce a rule.Its very unprofessional to scream across the room at someone.She could have asked nicely or spoke to me as a human.but she spoke down to me because I am a color person..not right.i been a customer for a couple years and never had a problem like this.I am about to close my account and make sure no one I know uses a bank where color people are not treated equal.I work and pay taxes just like everyone else to be treated like I don't belong there..sunglasses on a sunny day is a regular that..this happened on 4/15/2022 in the market street bank.once I went to the window she continued to speak down to me and said she doesn't have to service me..I am very unhappy with this treatment...

What do you expect from an illiterate "brown"? I call her "brown" because there are no "Black" people on this planet. Same as there are no "White" people. Maybe she (it) was mad because the war-like, tribal-like, ape-like people did not get the reparations they wanted. My suggestion to you Edgar is to drop that "Truist" bank like you would a bad habit and get a better bank and people to serve you. I may sound a bit racist but..."I speak the truth's"! Truist Bank is weak, will not allow you to log in with a very secure VPN as they are insecure, slow as f**k with their drive-thru's and their staff all needs to be replaced. It was a real joke just to watch them migrate the servers upon their newly co-joined "Truist" name. I know...I saw the problems and I could have helped them but they hire sub-standard coders/Network Administrator's who suck!

Truist Bank (formerly BB&T Bank) Customer Service

Suntrust used only American customer service personnel. The "new" Truist is not! They barely speak English. I was on the phone for over 22 MINUTES which is a waste of my time. Make this a FORMAL complaint. Date and time was today 4/15/2022 at 1:15 PM. If you want more details call me...

Truist Bank (formerly BB&T Bank) alerts to checking

I called today to find out why Alerts concerning a transfer of funds were sent to an old email address. The young ladies English was a bit iffy. She claimed there was no record of our old email, **@att.net when it should be **@hotmail.com, in your system. But have alerts from 4/3 and 4/4 from Truist about this transfer. They didn't go to the email on record. Luckily we haven't closed the email account, but will be shortly. If Truist sent us Alerts then obviously the email is in your system somewhere. I need it removed.

I tried to reply to one of the emails, the address that populates is [protected]@fs.marketing.truist.com

When i open the email the address the alerts came from is [protected]@message.truist.com

So, since you know what email account sent the alert you should be able to remove the old email address from your system.

I will also complain that being able to reach someone when you only have eastern time zone times is a pain. Your chat session is never up. This makes getting help a real challenge!

I also had a charge denied. Took a bit but finally was told the expiration date used was wrong. Funny, would have thought that deserved an alert but never got one.

I had better response and customer service when you were BB&T. Wish you'd go back. May look for a new bank if this kind of customer service continues.

Desired outcome: Fix your system so that my email address is correct. I've changed it where I can but you have it wrong some where.

use ATT.com I had the same problem with this "Muslim) broken English speaking so-called support person. We sold out all our telecom to the Eastern Indian's such as Pakistan etc. Most are students that work cheap as hell and could give a rat's [censored] of you or this country. Again, use Att.com to retrieve your email data. Good luck. I speak the truth's!

Truist Bank (formerly BB&T Bank) Safe deposit box is lost

Truist shut down a BBT branch in Dunwoody, GA where our family had a safe deposit box for many years. That box has disappeared.

I asked the branch to let my sister in Atlanta retrieve the box, but she was not on the account, and they said that they could only add her if she and I were in the same room. So I went to Atlanta, but they had fired the employee, and they said they had no record of our conversation. They said they would have two people open the box, send it to Florida, and then I could get the contents.

I have pursued every phone number and every channel. No one at Truist returns calls. For a good time, call their special safe deposit number: [protected] x4. After 12 rings, a disembodied voice says, “Sorry, Safe Deposit Box is not available." No one calls back.

Two weeks ago, I sent a letter by Priority Mail to William H. Rogers Jr., Truist CEO. I detailed my extensive efforts to find the box in their system. No response. Today, I am enlisting Senator Cory Booker, and asking anyone in banking, law or any related field for advice.

I am astonished that it has come to this, but Truist must be an incredible mess to treat its customers this way.

Desired outcome: Return the contents of our family's safe deposit box

Truist Bank (formerly BB&T Bank) House payment

My elderly mother in law has a house payment that she makes to truist every month. Recently she has not been able to make a payment and they said it was in charge off. She was sent no paperwork whatsoever and we have been trying to get truist to take care of this issue and they give an 84 year old the charge off number to call herself and she is confused as to why she cant make the payment. The number she has been making the payment to says it is a bankruptcy and recovery number but her home has never been in bankruptcy. We are confused as to why no one seems to have any paperwork and why we cant view the paperwork or even given a copy of the loan paperwork on her house. We know she is behind and all we want is a copy of the paperwork and how many payments we need to make to catch her up.

Desired outcome: Copy of her loan papers and agreement and to be able to catch her payments up and would be nice if truist home office would send someone to Florence alabama because i dont think they know how to do business.

Truist Bank (formerly BB&T Bank) Banking with Truist as a UK Company

We started our account with the Colonial Bank nerly 20 years ago. However some years back they were taken over by BB&T. This Bank was fine and we found them very helpful and efficient. But now they have been taken over by

Truist of 2300 East Colonial Dr, Orlando FL 32803 the service is terrible.

They do not answer any of our emails and are always busy on the phone. We did once speak to the branch manager a Tanya B Ault who apparently is vice president but she's too busy to help. No one in the branch reads any of our emails apart from a reply in one line, "come into the branch to sort this out".

Sort out what! Nothing has changed from our account. That's the last we've heard from them. We made it quite clear as we our based in the UK, we can't just come into the branch to sort things out. All we require is for them to operate exactly as BB&T did before! At the moment our money is locked into our account with no access.

Desired outcome: Sort this out!

Too many problems not enough space Zelle transfers going missing for days at a time. Locked out of online banking. Customer service waiting times over 60 mins only to be disconnected after 30 on numerous occasions. Final straw was teller and manager refusing to let my wife bank cash into my account telling her to go to post office and get check

Truist Bank (formerly BB&T Bank) Trueiste Business Hours (Insane!)

Dear Suntrust now Truist (Whatever kind of a name thats supposed to be) you need to consider opening on Saturday and Sunday. You may have not noticed yet, but we students are in school from 8 to 3, and you close at 5. That only gives us about 1 hour to get to the bank, figure out what were doing, get our money together, etc. It is better to have more time so we do not feel rushed. A Sunday is a great time to get this done, from 9 to 12, when not much else is going on. Also-online banking should not be an option on a smartphone, so that less scams/fraud will happen. I have heard the complaints, a simple solution is to shut down smartphone banking. Please quit listening to these lazy coustomers that clearly don't know what their doing, can't drive 2 miles to a bank, and don't know how to use their time wisely. Amen...

Desired outcome: I would appreciate it if you changed the hours to benefit students like me. Even if this means cutting hours off the 5-day business week, you NEED to be open from 9 to 6 on SATURDAY, and 9 to 12 on SUNDAY.

Truist Bank (formerly BB&T Bank) Denied online access

Time about 11 PM. Clicked on my Truist favorites link and got an "Access Denied" page. Tried their automated phone system, no recording about an outage, nothing on it addresses this problem. It asks for full SS and account numbers. That's poor security, the last four of either should be sufficient since the system can read my phone number to ID me.The "Access Denied" includes "For security purposes, we have temporarily suspended online access to your account." Doesn't say why, or how long. singles out "your account', like you're the only one they've blocked. That is scary.

Now I'll be up all night trying my account over and over, hoping it's just maintenance that will clear up during the night.

Desired outcome: If something is going on that affects service, say so on the automated system. Don't leave a customer up all night scared that something has happened to their account. This is horrible.

Finally figured it out myself. Apparently all it is, they've shut down BB&T access. I can sign in okay through the Truist account page. Part of their merger with SunTrust, both will gradually disappear. The access denied page was just something they could throw on the screen, I guess. Should have been an explanation and link to the other sign-in. Several weeks ago, they closed access to everybody for three days, but gave notice on the website about it. Not this time.

Truist Bank (formerly BB&T Bank) Auto loan

I am trying to obtain my lien release paperwork for my personal vehicle. I made the request on March 7, 2022 and was told my document would be expedited to me. I received nothing for over a week before calling again. I called again and was told that my request was processed on March 18, 2022 (11 days after my initial request). It is about to be April 7, 2022 (30 days after my initial request) and I have not received this vital document. When I try to speak to customer service rep I am constantly put on a waiting list for more than 60 minutes and then passed to another department. where I am forced to wait another 60 minutes. I need to speak to someone from the Archives Department to get an update on the status of my document.

Desired outcome: I'd appreciate a response from a representative that knows the status of this document. I would also like to have this document in hand as spoon as possible.

Spent over 100 hours on the phone, mostly waiting or on hold, and never received any resolution to my concerns. The TRUIST Debit card are constantly denied at ATMs or Point-of-Sale locations. I am charged huge fees for Debit card use.

Now Truist is blocking my attempts to transfer some of my money to another bank. The transfer has been verified and valid, but TRUIST just cancels my transactions.

What a terrible banking experience. Why don't the Truist Bank acknowledge that they are causing major problems for their customers? Just be honest. Your customer service is horrid and your policies are negatively impacting people's lives.
