I had a confirmation# from Truist, so I contacted them and (after holding 40 minutes!) an extremely rude customer service rep told me that I had entered my...

Never been late with a payment my credit score is 634. The girl on the phone had a bad connection she said there fixing the line. They did drop my payment down to $90 from $160 but still charged me a late fee. I hope there not holding back depositing checks.

I recently lost my mother and went through probate to clear the estate. When I received my settlement check from the estate I deposited this check into my checking account and was told that due to having a couple of small overdrafts this past year, they were going to place a hold on my check funding for about 10 days. With the weekends it is 14 days. WTF...

I have two accounts with Truist which total $21,000. These accounts are never used and the money just sits there. I check the balance at least once per year. These accounts were originally in BB&T and I have held them for over a decade with no problems. Upon checking my balance in September 2023, I noticed fraudulent charges on a debit card in one of my...

Truist Bank (formerly BB&T Bank) Fraud Dispute

20 min wait to spek to Account Security for fraudulent charges; the rep took 30 min jumping back& forth between two slow running systems to cancel the card, then says I must call the Dispute Center. The operator there said she can do nothing since the charges are pending, it's MY job to check the status and call back -so why was I sent there?

INCOMPETENCE.

Desired outcome: 1) Cut down wait times 2) Streamline departments we don't have to guess which one does what 3) TRIUST should do the legwork for this situation, do NOT put the onus of responsibility back on the customer!

Truist Bank (formerly BB&T Bank) Truist

TRUIST tells us to report fraudulent activity IMMEDIATELY and then you do it as soon as you notice it but tell you they can’t help you because it’s pending and they have to let the FRAUDULENT charge go through first.

So why exactly are you telling us to report it immediately if there is nothing you can do to help ? ILL TELL YOU WHY. Because they make money off all the over draft charges you get hit with from the FRAUDULENT charge that took your bank account negative. So of course they want the charge to go through so they get 35x7 ! TRUIST IS THE WORST BANK EVER!

Desired outcome: HELP ME WITH THE FRAUDULENT CHARGES AND NOT MAKE ME WAIT AND HIT ME WITH OVER DRAFT FEES

Contact: www.consumer finance.org/CFPB. Contact: Federal Trade Commission. A Credit Defense Lawyer should not charge you up front if they feel you have a case.

Sounds suspicious they will not communicate, and want to always accuse the client when fraud is involved. You go to a local branch and demand that they give you documentations of the transaction, time & place, that’s your right, where ever the card was used contact that facility let ( if there is a facility) let them know the situation and they should be able to trace the card usage, this what the bank should be doing, but now we see we have to cover our own buts because the bank is not doing it. Use what ever documentation you get to dispute credit bureaus, and if they do not remove it from your credit, they will after you file with a credit defense lawyer for putting inaccurate information on your credit report. There’s a act sign into law that no credit bureau can apply inaccurate information on credit report without it being factual out here. Going through similar situation dealing with fraudulent overdraft fees on a fraudulent check. Don’t let them get away with that. Hope this helps.

Truist Bank (formerly BB&T Bank) Lack of productive and responsive customer service

Who is accountable at Truist? Who supervises and do they care about how

poor customer service is?

We have a digital check machine from Suntrust (before the merger that was a big mistake). Recently, I requested to add an account from a separate company.

I requested this on 8/14 have received numerous "dead end" emails that go back and forth with no resolution, spent 2 hours on the phone yesterday speaking to several different folks from Merchant Services and Treasury, and was hung up on by one lady in Treasury. I ask again - WHO IS SUPERVISING THESE EMPLOYEES?

Desired outcome: Have a checking account added to our Remote Deposit system.
