Consumer Complaint: I purchased a condo with a first mortgage from Suntrust Mortgage and a purchase money second mortgage by Suntrust Bank as an Equity Line of Credit. In XX/XX/XXXX, Suntrust Mortgage foreclosed on the property and that account no longer appears on my credit reports. Suntrust Bank continues to report the XXXX XXXX with a current balance showing. Suntrust Bank is reporting 120 day late in XX/XX/XXXX, then XXXX from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX, then charge off from XX/XX/XXXX thru XX/XX/XXXX and no reports shown after that. Suntrust Bank 's error is showing a current balance of {$38000.00} instead of {$0.00}. The property is foreclosed by Suntrust and the Statute of Limitations has expired, so why show a balance. I disputed this with the bank in XX/XX/XXXX ( see the attached letters XXXX but they refused to correct it. In a phone call today, the Suntrust Bank representative stated that the balance will never come off the credit reports until it is paid or settled. That can not be the law for a mortgage debt. I have also disputed with XXXX, XXXX and XXXX with no success. Please help as I am trying to refinance my home mortgage. Thanks. XXXX

Consumer Complaint: I was told by the active hours app, which is a payday loan app to submit a complaint here. I was charge by my bank on the wrong day to get a overdraft fee. They told my bank to charge me on Monday, since Friday is a bank holiday, but instead charge me on Friday. My bank is SunTrust.

Consumer Complaint: My bank ( Suntrust Bank ) is not upholding my fraud claim against a company called progressive for {$130.00} that was charged 5 times. Neither my wife or I have authorized any charges from them and we are furious this fraud claim has not been upheld. The charges total {$670.00}.

Consumer Complaint: Good Morning CFPB, My wife and I used SunTrust Rewards to book hotels in XXXX XXXX, Nevada and XXXX XXXX, South Carolina on XXXX/XXXX/2016. The reservation for XXXX XXXX was excellent, and we even called back to have our room upgraded. The reservation for XXXX XXXX has been a total nightmare for us. We have spoke to the same supervisor twice concerning our reservation. She continually informs her customers that they are incorrect, because she listened to a recording between the technician on duty and XXXX XXXX XXXX. The supervisor never offered too allow us the opportunity to listen to the tape ; however ; she consistently informed the customers that we are wrong. I am simply asking that my reservation on XXXX/XXXX/2016 be modified from XXXX villas to XXXX villa with XXXX bedrooms. We have spent many hours trying to rectify this problem with XXXX and SunTrust. We have come to the conclusion that we will eat the additional {$520.00} for a villa that we do not need ; however, we will discontinue all services at SunTrust. We have been loyal customers for over 22 years, but we will be moving all services to XXXX XXXX if we can not resolve this issue with SunTrust Rewards. We spend thousands through SunTrust Rewards every month, and we are dissatisfied with the service that we received from SunTrust Rewards management. They made a correction to my XXXX XXXX trip ; however, no correction can be made to our XXXX XXXX trip. We are tired, and we deserve better. Bottom Line is We are totally dissatisfied, and we will transfer all accounts if this problem is not rectified in a timely manner. We are considering talking to the XXXX concerning this issue. Our next letter will be directed to SunTrust Board of directors if this issue is not resolved in a timely manner. Respectfully, XXXX & XXXX XXXX XXXX

Consumer Complaint: SunTrust has continually been charging me bogus overdraft fees and they also charged me {$51.00} in account maintenance fees. I 'm tired of it. Occasionally I have to transfer money from my savings account to my checking account as my paycheck fluctuates. Despite the fact my account balance never goes negative, they now charge {$12.00} for the privilege of me transferring my own money. They have also recently revised their rules so that even if the money is in the account before close of business, they will still be able to charge the {$12.00} overdraft.

Consumer Complaint: I have a current mortgage loan with Suntrust Mortgage , Inc. about 7 years ago I had some late payment and they began to report me as a XXXX as they were starting the Foreclosure process. After about 12 months of working with them, we reached a resolution and I began to make my payments on time. My problem is that since that time, they have HARMED my CREDIT stating that they Foreclosed on my home and that mortgage which is entirely incorrect. They now are harming me from buying a new car or home becuase lenders believe i had a foreclosure in the past. I am still in that home and have not missed a payment in over 6 years.

Consumer Complaint: A SunTrust credit card was opened in my business name. I do not have records of me opening the card, I have never used the card, I did n't even know I had the card. SunTrust shut my card down ( I moved and did not receive the statements ) and reported it, now they are saying I owe almost {$300.00} and they have reported it and now my score is affected. I started calling in XX/XX/XXXX after I moved to try and cancel my account, that was when I was informed that there was an overdraft that I would have to pay to close the account - which I did. Then all of a sudden I receive this bill for almost {$300.00} and they said they have reported me and have tried calling - I live on the XXXX XXXX now, I never had any messages from SunTrust. The missed calls I had were all either when I was sleeping and working - and again, they never left a message. They have lost records of me calling and trying to fix this - since XX/XX/XXXX - and the last conversation I had - this morning starting at XXXX am and spanning multiple calls, including XXXX for over an hour and a half - resulted in NOTHING happening. They have not helped me resolve this in any way. I should not be paying for a card I had no knowledge of and never used - in money or on my credit score. Their customer service has been horrendous in handling this, with their reps arguing with me and withholding information. I did n't even know the credit card existed until XXXX this morning when FINALLY someone at a branch in FL told me. This has been a complete nightmare.
