Consumer Complaint: TO CFPB Management : Hi, I am very disappointed by incompetence and complete disregard by SunTrust Mortgage, while servicing my loan. I was contacted by SunTrust Mortgage about necessary flood insurance coverage for my property. However, although I provided all information about my own flood insurance coverage through my condominium, they still insisted on buying their insurance. When I contacted a Customer Service representative XXXX XXXX and told her that my Principal Loan Balance is {$76000.00} $ and my own insurance coverage is {$82000.00} through XXXX, which meant that I am in full compliance by FEMA requirements ( see below ), she promised to open a research case and get back to me in three days by personally calling me. A week has passed and XXXX XXXX did not call me to provide any status update on the research. When I called myself, some other associate responded and said that research concluded that you need XXXX imposed flood insurance. When I asked to provide me the grounds for such an additional coverage, she failed to provide them and referred again to a conclusion of the Research Department. When I told her to go on the FEMA web-site and pointed to the requirements ( see below ), she said that they would need to open another research for that. Please assist with resolving this case for me to get the refund for unnecessary insurance coverage and completely remove that imposed flood insurance coverage from my account. I attached my flood insurance coverage from XXXX, my loan information and FEMA requirements for flood insurance. The amount of flood insurance coverage required by the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended by the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994, is the lesser of the following : 1. The maximum amount of NFIP coverage available for the particular property type, or 2. The outstanding principal balance of the loan, or 3. The insurable value of the structure.

When i contacted suntrust for an explaination, they said they can not tell me reason but said decision is final. While i understand suntrust has the right to close my account, i do not appreciate the lacking of common courtsey calling me to let me know. This was my 1st time ever with suntrust, and poor customer service left a bad taste. I wont recommend them to anyone.

Consumer Complaint: The original member of Suntrust bank, XXXX XXXX, retired and in her place XXXX XXXX XXXX took over her assignments. He was unprofessional. Upon his first contact, he called on a Saturday to introduce himself. He proceeded by assuming that what I needed was down payment assistance when in reality I needed financing. When I stepped in to correct him the stated for me to let him " finish '' and that the call was simply a " courtesy call '' as he did not work weekends. I was unable to give him much more information since he appeared not to care. Given the horrible call, I still held faith in Suntrust to move forward with my financing. I had received conflicting information between the lender and the county and asked for his help, which he did not provide. He never pre-approved me even when I had sent him all of my documents. He insisted that I send him a copy of my social security card via an unsecured email server, he would not move forward after multiple emails granting him authorization to proceed and run my credit given that there is still funding in the program. The last straw was that he asked me to call the county and see if there was funding. He was literally going in circles and stringing me along. Given that this program is for people who do not make a lot of money and do not have any other previous homes, he took advantage of me and my situation. This is unacceptable and now I do not have a financing and I lost my chance at owning the property I liked because this was going for more than a month!

Consumer Complaint: I am making a complaint against Suntrust Mortgage XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX VA XXXX In reference to Loan No : XXXX. The basis of my complaint is that on or about XX/XX/XXXX I was advised in writing by Suntrust that my escrow impound would increase {$630.00} per year or {$52.00} per month based on a projected escrow shortage On XX/XX/XXXX, I received some correspondence from XXXX XXXX which caused me to discover that there there would in fact be no escrow shortage as I had been paying on two Homeowners Policies in error when the new escrow was caluclated in XX/XX/XXXX. Thereafter I immediately began to obtain a reanalysis of the escrow impound from Suntrust on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX. XX/XX/XXXX over the course of four lengthy conversations. Some of Suntrust 's telephone reps could not understand the issue. One explained that I should get a refund from XXXX and send the money back to Suntrust, who thereafter would send the money to me. I simply want a lawful escrow impound on any future payment. Hopefully beginning XX/XX/XXXX. I was told by the last rep of Suntrust but for the double insurance coverage my XXXX would be approx {$750.00}, which was almost exactly what I was paying ante the inaccurate and unlawful escrow analysis. These are the facts. I assumed the loan from my parents XXXX and XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX, after making the payments myself from the inception of the loan in XX/XX/XXXX. In XX/XX/XXXX Suntrust collected {$860.00} ( {$7200.00} prorated monthly ) from XXXX Policy Number XXXX. As part of the assumption process Suntrust required that I obtain homeowners insurance in my name which I did through XXXX Policy number XXXX effective XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX XXXX yearly ( prorated {$86.00} per month ). XXXX never cancelled the aforementioned policy XXXX, thus from XX/XX/XXXX until the XX/XX/XXXX policy was cancelled on XX/XX/XXXX according to Suntrust 's records I was paying two insurance policies from XXXX on the same policies which is both unlawful and legally impossible. The failure to cancel policy number XXXX caused Suntrust to blindly analyze that their would be a monthly {$52.00} escrow shortage. Suntrust acting in a manner contrary to law, decency, and common sense absolutely refuses to re-analyze the incorrect escrow impound. They have adopted the unlawful and anti-consumer position that I must send them any refund that I received from XXXX for double billing from XX/XX/XXXX until the first policy was cancelled on XX/XX/XXXX oe in spite of my explaining their mistake they would not re-analyze their escrow calculation. i am being treated unlawfully and bullied by Suntrust for reasons beyond my understanding

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX I deposited a check in the amount of {$98000.00} dated. The check was made out to my company XXXX XXXX XXXX. The check was dated XX/XX/XXXX check number XXXX. Before I allowed XXXX XXXX to deposit the check I explained to him what the check was for. I have a asphalt contract with XXXX XXXX XXXX. He called someone on the phone and came back and assured me that there would be no issues. He stated that {$49000.00} would clear within 5 days and the other balance of {$49000.00} would clear five days after that. Before the money was to clear I received a message stating that my account had been closed. I also received a statement stating that {$98000.00} was in my account. I went to the bank he requested that XXXX verify the check. They did verify the check. He stated that the account would be reopened and it would clear in 7 days. Once again no money cleared. Went back to the bank and told me that the check would be mailed out. No check was mailed out. I called the bank and a rep stated that the check was being held in the vault and I should get a letter in the mail as to what I needed to do. No letter has come and no money has come. XXXX XXXX requested that the money be sent back. No money has been sent back. XXXX XXXX has not been helpful he has been giving me the run around. When I call the bank they leave me on hold and he never picks up. He does not answer emails. The prje3ct is now on hold because I have no money to pay the workers or buy asphalt. I need the money to be returned back to me or back to the sender.
