Consumer Complaint: I sent suntrust a check to pay the escrow shortage ( for the 4th year in a row ) and for the 4th year in a row I was sent the WRONG statement. Because I paid the escrow shortage I should have gotten a statement for the LOWER monthly mortgage amount but of course they still sent a statement for the higher amount. I was told last year that this problem had been fixed and that I would receive the correct statements in the future if I paid the escrow shortage. That was clearly a LIE. I also asked several times for someone to explain why my escrow is short EVERY YEAR. But again no one has because for the 4th year in a row my escrow has been short. This is not a problem I 've had with other mortgage companies and I do not understand why suntrust can not get it right and no one will answer my questions. I am tired of their complete incompetence and lack of customer service. This is UNACCEPTABLE. They need to send me a CORRECT bill IMMEDIATELY for the amount due XX/XX/XXXX.

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX, a merchant presented an electronic funds transfer ( EFT ) charge to withdraw money from my checking account using my debit card number. This charge was presented without my knowledge or consent and was not accompanied by a signature or PIN input. The amount of the withdrawal ( {$1600.00} ) exceeded the amount in my account. In spite of this, bank personnel put the charge through causing my account to be overdrawn. SunTrust offers overdraft protection but I elected to decline this service, preferring that SunTrust decline any transaction for which funds are insufficient. This agreement has been on record in my customer profile since XX/XX/XXXX. I incurred overdraft fees and authorized charges were declined. A few days later, the entire balance in my savings account was taken without my knowledge or consent to partially cover the overdraft. Subsequently, a {$500.00} credit in my charge card account was taken as well. Later, when it was time to renew my charge card, SunTrust declined to renew the charge account even though the account had a positive balance from the day it was taken out. I have been attempting to regain my charge card ever since, most recently when my XX/XX/XXXX application was declined on XX/XX/XXXX. I have been told that this may be due to " overdrafts '' showing on my account. The only overdrafts on this account were due to the fraudulent withdrawal on XX/XX/XXXX. SunTrust was notified in a timely fashion of this incident and, per bank procedure, a notarized affidavit was submitted to SunTrust fraud department on XX/XX/XXXX. The only party acting irresponsibly in this affair is SunTrust Bank. I am asking them to reinstate my charge card and to expunge any negative credit information referable to this incident. Thus far, SunTrust has been unwilling to do either.

Consumer Complaint: While paying bills through Suntrust Bill Pay my XXXX bill was entered as a rush payment for an additional cost of {$9.00}. This was not what I wanted, needed or asked for. There had been a red message prior, I did not know what it was, I re-entered the bill and the date was in green, so I assumed it was fixed. After I submitted the bills for payment I saw that I was being charged for a " rush payment. '' I immediately returned to the screen to cancel the payment but there was no option on that bill. It was locked into processing. I then called the Suntrust customer support and was told it is operated by a third party, and they can not get to a screen to cancel either. I had the Suntrust Representative call the third party ( XXXX ) to explain the problem and ask for their help. They refused to help or waive the charge. I told Suntrust I was filing a complaint with Consumer Financial Protection, and she said she would file a complaint with the Bank on my behalf. Suntrust complaint # XX/XX/2017-XXXX.

Consumer Complaint: We have a credit line with Suntrust Bank in XXXX, Florida. The XXXX names on this credit line are XXXX persons : XXXX ( myself ), XXXX ( wife ) and our son, XXXX. The interest pertaining to this credit line are debited directly from my son, XXXX 's checking account. The Form XXXX, has my name only, showing my social security. I have in many occasions requested to change this to my son 's name along with his social security number, as he is the one paying the interests and are debited directly from his checking account. They have told me that they can not change it. To my knowledge, the Form should show my son 's name ( XXXX ). I am a retired civilian and do not even have enough funds to pay such interest in that amount. Also, since I am retired and receiving social security, this can cause unneccesary problems with the IRS. Please know that this is a former complaint against Suntrust, and wish for you to assist me if I have the right to this request.

Consumer Complaint: I took out my mortgage in XXXX 2009. At that time, P & I, homeowner 's insurance, and property taxes came out to approx. $ XXXX/mo. Since 2009, my mortgage has increased each year to where it now is $ XXXX/mo. During that time, my property taxes have gone from approx. $ XXXX/yr to $ XXXX/yr and my homeowner 's insurance has increased from approx. {$550.00} to {$630.00}. Based off of my calculations, since I put down over 20 % when I bought the house and do not need nor have PMI, I am being overcharged each and every month. I have called Suntrust Mortgage but have not yet received a call back from them explaining this discrepancy.
