Truist Bank (formerly BB&T Bank) Withdraw

I have a medical issue and HAVE to have this one medication. So a local branch in Sarasota , FL took $553 out of my account to pay my late loan. The reason it being late is medical and I shouldn’t have to explain. Now my account has over draft fee and I have No money and No coming in. I cannot get my medicine and now have to go to the ER. I am totally disgusted. This medicine I have to take. I am not getting my hours from work because of my issue so the money they took I have been saving for my medicine. I will make a formal complaint

Truist Bank (formerly BB&T Bank) Discrimination against soldiers

I serve in the National Guard. Truist declared my national guard deposit (a govt payment) "suspicious" and locked me out of my account until they review my account. I don't care so much about the drill payment as it's like $200, but the pay from my regular job (close to $2000) is also being locked and I have $3 to live on while thousands are literally sitting in my account that Truist won't allow me to access. This bank discriminates against service members. I no longer feel safe with this organization holding my money. Do not go with this bank.

Desired outcome: Unlock my account!!!

Truist Bank (formerly BB&T Bank) Individual retirement account

I have had an IRA account with Truist for the past 16 years. I opened the account through an employer, and at that time, it was with Sun Trust. I used to receive my statements until 2019. About a month ago, I contacted them to transfer my money out of Truist, and they advised me to create an online account to have access to my funds. I created the online account on August 11th, 2022, and clicked on 'Documents' to get my statement. However, I received an error message saying, "Service Unavailable. The service you are attempting to access is currently unavailable. Please try again later. If the problem persists, please call 844-4-TRUIST [protected])."

I called Truist customer service, and they told me to contact the local branch as my account was with them. When I called the local branch, they informed me that the system should be up soon. However, even after two months, I am still getting the same error message online.

I called Truist again, and this time, they told me that they don't know which local branch my account belongs to and gave me the number of the headquarters branch. Unfortunately, there was no option to speak to a real person. So I called customer service again, and they informed me that they do not provide IRA statements online, and I would have to wait to receive them by mail. They also told me that they would need to learn which local branch my account belongs to. Once again, they gave me the number of the headquarters branch, but there was no option to speak to a real person.

I am seeking assistance in getting a statement to transfer my money from Truist to another institution.

Desired outcome: My latest statement and cooperate with process of transferring my IRA money out.

I recently paid for my YouTubeTV account with my debit card. It was charged twice and I was told to have that card canceled due to it could have been fraudulent activity. YouTube TV said they issued the refund back to the card that was canceled and now the bank is telling me that there isn't anything that they can do to retrieve the money that wasrefunded to my old ccard since I have a new debit card that was sent to me. It is still the same account just a a new card. Please let me know how this issue can be resolved and get my money back to my account. When I call the 1-800 number for Truist, I am told they can see the refund but that they cannot help me get it back to the account that my new card and old card are associated wit

Desired outcome: To get my money back to my account that was refunded to my old debit card and not put back in my account because I no longer have that card available.

Truist Bank (formerly BB&T Bank) NFT/Phishing Scams

I decided to go with trust wallet because they advertise as being safe. Again more disappointing situation regarding crypto and Bitcoin. I had payed for matic so I could get nft minted. I begin getting these vouchers sent to my wallet (please see attachment) thinking it must be legit I proceed to the sit and confirm my wallet. All my crypto disappears. I contacted their at best indifferent support and had no answer. Not knowing how this works I sent a snapshot and the vouchers via email and via the app. No response. Again I purchased matic and eth. I get a different voucher and I check it. It appears to be legitimate. Has funds and a actual token number. I accept it and prompts me to sign with my wallet. Again my crypto went missing. I traced the information (which is probably illegitimate) and filed a report with the feds. I contacted trust and Rarible regarding my stolen crypto. No response. I tried to use my wallet but it has been corrupted. Without burning my nft I deleted the wallet and now cannot access my old account. My NFT still out there which I'm pretty sure will cause some problem down the road. Needless to say I'm upset about all of this. The lack of safety measures and lazy Cyber security policies has made it easier for thieves to steal what isn't theirs and cause you problems down the road when you get flagged and accused of copyright infringement or violation of policy. And they're real quick to act on that shutting you down instantly taking everything that you have and claiming that all assets and whatnot are permanently frozen. But through the back door hackers and thieves are stealing people's stuff and they don't do anything about it.

Desired outcome: Compensation for pain and suffering and loss of profit.Contact from Rarible and Trust

In April 2023, I paid my HOA dues online through Truist. At the end of the month, my HOA association notified me that my dues had not been paid, incurring a total of $114 in late fees and penalties. 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...

Truist Bank (formerly BB&T Bank) Credit card late fee

I sent check in 13 days before it was due from Florida, and they charged me a late fee. They got the check one day late. They dropped down my credit line on my credit card by $3,000. 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. There is no way it took a check 13 days to get to Baltimore from Florida.

Desired outcome: Get rid of my late fee. $27

Truist Bank (formerly BB&T Bank) Account freeze racial profiling

On 9/28/2023 I attempted to complete a wire transfer on behalf of my finance' business for $37,000. Upon attempting to complete this transfer I was advised that I needed to provide a statement from the bank that the check I initially deposited on 09/19/2023 had cleared. Mind you this check was held by Truist for 7 days per their statement that it was federal law. Now they are saying they want proof of the check clearing. You can see in the account that my other bank cleared the check and if they had questions at that time should have advised me over a week ago. So I go across the street to my other bank and get a statement signed by the bank personnel showing the check was cleared. Apparently, that was sufficient because as soon as I walked back in the teller has an attitude claiming that isn't sufficient and that they are declining the wire transfer and now there "back office" is review my account for fraud. When asked if there was someone I could talk to she says No that they don't talk to customers. Just very horrible and when I ask to talk to someone in branch I was not allowed to because they were all in a meeting. Told me I could come back the next day and speak with the branch manager.

Called the branch manager on 9/29/2023. She appeared to be friendly and wanting to help me but she didn't realize that she did not hang up her phone and that I could hear her whole conversation with her stay about me. Talk about rude and insensitive. They have no respect for their clients and don't care are attempt to help. They just there collecting pay checks. Whatever my reasons for transferring funds is none of their business. Now my account is frozen and under review with the fraud department. Now all my finances are tied up and they really don't care. She claimed I could bring in a copy of the cleared check but what good what that do. Seeming that as soon as you walk out the bank they are talking about you behind your back. They should be ashamed of themselves. If you want to go a step further, I truly believe this is racial profiling because of how I look and what I was wearing. You see a black person and automatically assume that the money is illegal in my accounts, new account or not. If anything my job with the FEDERAL Government is none of their business.

Desired outcome: Release my funds and to close my account. I no longer wish to conduct business with an entity that tolerates the behavior of staff talking about customers and racial profiling customers the minute you walk into their doors.

Truist Bank (formerly BB&T Bank) GAP contract refund

I paid my auto loan off in May and requested a refund of the remainder of the GAP insurance contract. When no refund was issued I contacted the dealer where the car and GAP contract were purchased. Here is the response:

wrote:

Good Morning,

"Truist sent us a letter in May to Cancel the GAP contract and send the reimbursement to them so they were able to refund you for the GAP.

The check was sent to Truist on May 30th and cashed by Truist on June 12th.

The check number is 49311 in the amount of $698.83 for your reference."

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...

Truist Bank (formerly BB&T Bank) Saving accounts

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 accounts. I don't use either of these accounts and have never used the debit card that Truist sent me when they merged BB&T. The company making the fraudulent charges is unknown to me and I have no relationship with them. I reported the fraud charges immediately but Truist has denied $89 of the charges because they occurred more than 60 days before I reported the problem. This policy requires the customer to be responsible for the safety of his money. Truist accepts no responsibility for the loss.

I'm an old man and have had many accounts and many banks in my day. Truist is the first bank to lose my money and then refuse to make it right. For all I know Truist employees are stealing money this way. How could anyone know the numbers of my unused debit card? Only an employee could have that access. I accuse Truist employees of stealing my money and giving me no way to recover it short of a law suit.

I only lost a small about of money and it could have been much worse. But I'm forced to pull my money from Truist and take my business elsewhere. I can not trust that Truist is able or even willing to safeguard my money. I've been told in no uncertain terms that my money is not going to be returned to me.

Be careful out there.

Desired outcome: Return my stolen money

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

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.
