Fraud
We had checks stolen out of a local post office. The checks were made payable to LLBean MasterCard and Commissioners of Carroll County. A Juanita E Scott endorsed the checks and remotely deposited them into BOA. We filed a Truist fraud complaint C-[protected]. Truist fraud department first said we had to complete and sign an affidavit which we did. When I followed up two days later they said the payees on the checks had to file the affidavit. Asking LLBean MasterCard to affirm a check they never received was fraudulently endorsed seems illogical. They never saw the check while we have the front/back images. We are trying to get LLBean to send us a letter but doubt we will make the 10 day time period we have to get this information. The manager of the Eldersburg says we are not getting our money back unless we can convince the two payees to swear to something they have no knowledge of. No one can explain why the affidavit guidance was one way on Monday and another of Tuesday. The Maryland State Police Report is 23-MSP-027275. So I guess my 88 year old father is out over 2200 dollars. In the meantime Truist can get reimbursed from the Federal Reserve because I filed a police report and gave them the number. What is Truist going to do with the windfall? Celebrate while senior citizens on fixed incomes lose their ability to pay their bills? The current Eldersburg branch manager should not be in customer support. I know someone who left a branch because of her. I also had one your representatives give me incorrect information when I opened a checking account:Alyssa Groves.
What I would like to see is the money returned to bank account ending in 1936 and Truist work with BOA so checks that are not endorsed correctly are not paid. Is that too much to ask? Combined time my family has spent trying to get this resolved in excess of 20 hours. How much time has spent providing customer care?
The Maryland State Police are going to subpoena the bank records of Juanita E Scott all thanks to the investigation my family did.
Five years ago the bank would have reimbursed the account immediately. Instead of being treated like a victim we are being treated like a criminal.
What ever happened to the customer service BBT had
Desired outcome: What I would like to see is the money returned to bank account ending in 1936 and Truist work with BOA so checks that are not endorsed correctly are not paid. Is that too much to ask?
Credit card fraud
Truist Bank took $8000.00 from my credit card account !
I didn't request this transaction and was unaware of charge to my account until 3 days after the money had been removed !
How do I get this charge off my credit card account ?
My credit card balance due was $ -.011
They used my available credit on this credit card to withdraw the $8000.00
Thank you

Desired outcome: Return $8000. to my credit card !!Remove charges for money shown due for the $8000.00 draft
Good luck with this. I am still trying to get $200.00 of fraudulent charges removed now for 4 months. Even got letter saying charges were to be removed, but they never did. This card has 0 bal other than fraud charges, still being charged int on fraud and required to make min $20.00 payments. Worst customer service ever. File complaints with BB bureau.
Customer service
I've called customer service several times and I'm currently on hold with a branch now, 33 minutes and counting.
I simply called to ask for assistance with transferring funds from my personal checking account to another Truist business customer and I've gotten nowhere.
I will remove any assets I have from Truist as when I needed them most, they couldn't assist.
They will merely be a bank I obtain loans with at the lowest rate possible vs allowing them to hold my assets. This may be the 2nd time I've ever call Truist in the 6 years I've been a customer.
I'm still on hold...as of this writing. I an investor and I'll share out with like minded people my experience as it was below subpar. I've now been on hold for 38 minutes.
Mobile deposit
I’ve been with Truist since they were Suntrust so about 11/12 years. I’ve mobile deposited checks all the time including 2 weeks ago I deposited 2 one of which was my paycheck from a another bank. Well today I made a mobile deposit for my paycheck and big yellow letters popped up saying hold and to check my email. I did so and it said my funds would be held for 6 days. I contacted the bank and nobody not even a supervisor could explain this to me. Said it was an automatic message again I went all through my emails to see if I had ever gotten before and I hadn’t and the fact nobody can explain this to me is very unsettling.
Case #c19686 credit card fraud
I am located in Dallas, GA. On April 9, 2023 I was a victim of over $3,000 in fraud on a Truist credit card. I was attempting to order a pair of boots from what appeared to be a legitimate “Boot Outlet”. As soon as I clicked on “place order”, charges began hitting my credit card in seconds. I locked my credit card, but the vandals kept attempting to put more charges on my card to something called “Talent Search”. I called Truist Fraud Line and reported this within minutes of these charges hitting my card.
To date this issue has not been resolved, and the charges remain on my card, accumulating interest monthly. I have called the fraud number several times, even visited my local branch office, only to be told that it is “still under investigation”, and I should “continue to make payments”.
Yesterday I called again and was told by “Celeste” no notes were added to the case #C19686 by the previous call I made on July 17, 2023.
I want these charges removed from my credit card. Everyone I have talked with (friends) who have been victims of fraud, state that as soon as they reported the fraud, the charges were immediately removed from their credit card.
It even states in Truist policy that the charges would be removed within 10 days of fraud being reported. Why hasn’t this been done on my account?
I told “Celeste” whom I spoke with yesterday, that I WILL NOT make another payment. This is beyond absurd and ridiculous.
Please advise. If this isn’t fixed, I will change to a different bank entirely.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Desired outcome: Remove fraudulent charges on my credit card account.
Money Market Information
I have been trying to reach someone to inquire about opening a money market account in my daughter's name. Mostly, I'd like to know the current money market rates you offer. However, every time I call, your computer gives me the runaround and won't let me talk to a person. It just assumes that I'm calling about my account and keeps asking for my account number, anything they can do to keep me from talking with a real person. This is very frustrating. When I say "representative" I expect to talk to a real person, not your AI computer which is apparently not very intelligent. :-( I would visit a branch, but I work during the day and can't get to the branch until you close.
Desired outcome: I would like you to let me talk to a real person.
Checking account closure
I opened a business bank account for a non-profit organization for which I am a board member on June 21st 2023. The account was approved, and after about 2 weeks I was contacted by a bank account manager representative to set up my online credentials.
On July 12th I transferred an amount of $3063.82 into the account.
Today, I tried logging into the account, and received a message: "Your online access has been restricted for security purposes. Please call [protected] Monday to Friday 8am-5pm ET to restore access. Press option 3 for Checks/ATO/Online & Electronic payments and option 2 for Account Takeover/Online Fraud."
I called customer service and was informed my bank account was closed and I won't be able to reach my funds until 30 days from now. I tried asking for a manager, but was told that this was part of what I signed in the opening documents and there is nothing I can do about it now.
Basically, the bank closed my account for no reason at all and is holding my organization's money hostage...
Desired outcome: Refund me my money ASAP.
Online banking payments processed by another company
I used Truist online banking bill pay, as I always do, for my new United Healthcare insurance payments. Four payments of $457.70 were paid to United Health Care but processed, paid, to Golden Rule. I don't have an account with Golden Rule. The payments were routed internally and incorrectly from Truist online banking. United Health Care contacted me advising cancellation due to no payments. I had to double pay using UHC website to keep my insurance. I have spoken to UHC, Golden Rule and Truist Bank since March with no results each new time I try to resolve the problem. I have faxed and mailed proof to Golden Rule twice, with no response. I have filed claims with Truist which were denied! I spoke to Golden Rule and UHC on July 10, 2023 again explaining the problem. Both supervisors advised it is a Truist error. I called the Truist representative I have been dealing with advising I need to file an appeal. No return call. I need my $1,830.30 returned!
Desired outcome: refund my $1830.80
Auto loan
I had an auto loan with Truist bank. The loan was refinanced with another lender in may 2023. At that time I had cancelled my auto warrant. A check was sent and received from truist bank on may 10. Truist bank told me that they will sent me the overage. I have been calling them since may and they keep telling me that they are going to send me the check. It have been 3 month of communication without any resolution.
Desired outcome: They send my my check for 4,990.00
Gap Refund
My name is Jeanine Wilson. My complaint is Truist Bank has cashed the GAP REFUND check sent to them by the dealership where I purchased the vehicle. Checked with the dealership and found out Truist Bank has received and cashed the check as of June 28,2023, but Betty tells me because of where I live they can hold my refund for as long as they want! I want my refund that has been paid to Truist Bank to be paid to me! Shouldn't matter where I live you have the refund and the vehicle was paid off as of May2,2023...WANT MY REFUND!
Desired outcome: TO RECEIVE MY REFUND THAT IS BEING HELD!!
Fraud
There was a wire fraud that TRUIST approved to leave our business account. Approximately 5 hours after the bank allowed this to happen, TRUIST contacted me to ask if I approved the Transaction.
Why bother calling when they knew they allowed the money to leave.
A few months later, approximately another $2,000 of charges (debits) were authorized. TRUIST never contacted us to inquire on approximately 25 transactions.
How does this happen. Suntrust was constantly calling and stopping transactions.
A TRUIST representative told me that our money went into a Bank of America account and they had a person's name for that account but couldn't get resolution or refund me our money.
Why is there not a Class Action Lawsuit against TRUIST?
Desired outcome: TRUIST needs to refund the $9,845.00 that they stole from our Small Business in February 2023
Security of account and customer service
I have been having a problem with somebody trying to access my account. They keep getting my user name but have not been able to get password. This has been going on for months now and Truist bank tells me to change my user name and password. I have done this many times and after about 3-4 weeks the same device is at it again. I can't tell you how frustrating it is and then to not be able to get a hold of a person on a Sunday for security purposes is ridiculous. It has gotten so bad since the merge.
Trust wallet security
I join a liquidity mining pool on 19/4/23. The liquidity mining pool website is sundefi.app. The daily return is ranging from 1.4% - 4.2%.
To join the website, I use Trust Wallet downloaded from Apple Store. My first deposit in USDT was on 19/4/23. My last deposit in USDT was on 29/5/23. The exchange that I used to buy USDT is Binance.
Everyday day I can see my investment growing. My total investment is USDT 314,565.49. As of today, my total investment had grown to USDT732,265.
I am waiting for mining period to end in July so that I can get back my USDT.
I was very confident it's not a scam because I am using Trust Wallet. Trust Wallet is considered one of the most secure hot wallets in the world. It protects online interactions using military-grade encryption and keeps your private keys secure with bank-level security. You can use FaceID, TouchID, or conventional passwords to access your wallet.
There's only money transferred in & no money transferred out from my Trust Wallet. However on 29/6/23, I discovered that there was money transferred out which was not shown in Trust Wallet but shown in Safepal.
On 29/6/23, I realized that I had been scammed by Trust Wallet.
I had file complaints to Trust Wallet customer service and my tickets are closed without response.
Checking account
I opened a account with Truist about 6/21/2023 I made deposits of 2300 in cash and my a transfer of my SS disability check. I also deposited 4500 dollars in checks that were held for 10 days on Administrative Hold. Truist recieved the money from the checks on 6/26 and it was 7/6 before they made it to my my balance. Now they have excluded any debits to the...

Ok some years back bbt took 3800 saying I had not satisfied the courts over bad checks I had written in collage. Called talked to some big wig in fraud said to get the depositions. Meaning drive to Charleston sc and get a copy of them. I couldn't do thst at the time. Now they are all on line. And with a couple clicks truist can do there own legal foot work and see that I satisfied the courts over the bad checks. An account when I lived in Charleston sc 2068 Millbrook CT Charleston sc is the accounts address on file that has the bad checks from. And the account that the money was stolen from by bbt is from Roanoke VA or Vinton VA. This money was from an inheritances from my mother passing. I told your company then your in the wrong.

Truist waiting on your reply that is same as last the run around about it . I'm blasting this every where I can then getting a lawyer . So the faster it's resolved the less time I have to post on social media sites
Zelle. Truist responsiveness.
We moved to Mexico in May of this year. Since then working with Truist has been a nightmare. First you sent our wire transfer, for the closing on our home, to your Atlanta fraud division and didn’t notify anyone. They held it up for days and it likely would have been longer but we called the branch manager of the bank we did business with in Florida and she tracked it down. She was appalled that no one had been notified. It is only because our sellers chose not to execute a clause in our contract that we didn’t have to pay $32,000 because the closing had to be delayed! Honestly, that pales in comparison to the issues we’ve had trying access the funds that are in our accounts. Every Zelle payment I try to make is instantly reversed (in seconds). Truist tells me it’s the other bank’s problem. The other banks say it’s our bank. Zelle says it’s the bank’s problem not Zelle’s. You can imagine our frustration not being able to access our accounts. When I first arrived in Mexico, I inadvertently left my debit card in an ATM. When that happens, they are always retained and destroyed. I contacted Truist for a new debit card. That was almost a month ago. One debit card was apparently returned, but they didn’t say from where. The other one I requested 15 days ago has not yet arrived. I asked Truist customer service if they could FedEx the debit card because without being able to access our accounts, we couldn’t pay people who were working on our house. We had to be limited to places that took American Express, which are few and far between here. No one seemed to be able to find a way to solve a problem. All I heard was “not our policy.”. I’m not easily moved to tears but I certainly was with this. I don’t have a debit card and I can’t use Zelle because I can’t get that problem solved either. You tell me how I am supposed to access our funds.
Desired outcome: Stop trying to protect me. You are causing great harm in the process. I need a debit card. I need to be able to use Zelle and I need an answer regarding why it is not working.
Customer service
I contacted Truist customer service on 6/19, following a fraud alert. Notably, this was a bank holiday and my car was in the shop, creating significant frustration. I confirmed I had not made a $199 transaction and was told that my debit card had been suspended. I requested it be unlocked so I could get money to get my car as I don't carry credit cards, nor do I have a back up. I was told that if my card was unlocked then the scammers would take all of my money. I was told my new debit card would be expedited and sent to me within 2-3 business day. Today was the 3rd business day and no card, so I called back. I was told that the card was never sent because the agent documented I had been verbally abusive, which isn't true. I was upset because I had no access to money to get my car out of the shop and there was zero empathy for my situation. I had to go through multiple hoops today and was on the call for more than 30 minutes, while trying to work, for them to tell me the fraudulent transaction was still there and I had to pay $30 for an expedited card. For an issue that was not my fault. I was also informed that it would be 3-5 business days, not 2-3 like I was told. There is zero compassion for a customer of 30 years, zero. It is so disappointing to be so loyal and to get treated so poorly over something that I had no control over.
Desired outcome: Treat customers better and show respect!

I have been a loyal customer of BB&T for over 20 years, but ever since the merger between BB&T and Sun Trust the amount of time that it takes to get through the banking line has tripled. It use to take 5 minutes average or 15 during holidays to get my banking done. It now takes an average of 15 to 40 minutes on an average day. it is obvious that customer service is no longer priority
Desired outcome: I would like to see it go back to the way it was. more than 2 tellers behind the counter would be great. there use to be 4 or 5 on busy days. now it's only 2 working
