Consumer Complaint: My {$1000.00} bank deposit was misdirected. Overdraft Protection was not established as I requestedfor my Checking Account. It was posted as {$10.00} anddeposited into my XXXX child 's Savings Account, and the error wasnot found for over a week. This resulted in subsequent overdraftcharges totaling {$860.00}, and SunTrust Bank has refused to giveme a complete refund. I received only a partial refund of overdraftcharges, though I spoke with the Manager, XXXX XXXX and the Area Supervisor. I want a complete refund of the {$860.00}, and the bank has refusedto do so. I called the FDIC and they directed me to ConsumerFinance Protection Bureau. I am the niece of a former XXXX, and have been trying to get this resolved forFIVE MONTHS.

Issue: Problems caused by my funds being low

Subissue:

Consumer Complaint: statement is attached with this complaint. bank charged multiple overdraft charges, they cleared the larger checks first and pushed the account in to overdraft, they did not pay the lower amounts first. i should have been charged overdraft fees only once, rather than multiple times. i believe this is creating you to pay too much extra money. they have unjustifiably charged me about ten times the fee. also they charge extended overdraft fee. this has been happening for several years, i have talked to the bank on multiple times, they continue same practices. this is very negative and detrimental to consumer.

Consumer Complaint: Complaint against Suntrust Bank. Suntrust Bank did not file the deed to take possession of property - XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, GA XXXX - for 18 months after it was surrended to them via bankruptcy. Filing the foreclosure deed 18 months later has denied me the ability to refinance into a more favorable mortgage on my home. Suntrust chose NOT to file the deed to AVOID THE COSTS associated with ownership of the property. While I reorganized my life and put myself on a firm foundation, I am being penalized by Suntrust not following through on the court order to take possession of the property and file the deed in their name. Please look into this and advise if there is an avenue to remedy this situation. FHA in its loan approval guidelines goes off the deed transfer date and not the date of the bakruptcy discharge. Please call me if you have any questions. XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXXThank you

Consumer Complaint: I make multiple payments towards my monthly mortgage balance. The payments are not applied to my mortgage at the time of payment but are held in a ledger account until the entire minimum is received. I believe this practice is wrong and does n't benefit me the mortgage holder.

Subissue:

Consumer Complaint: A fraudulent marketing firm asked me to be a mystery shopper. They gave me a check to deposit in my account to cover my activities on their behalf. I deposited the check and waited for the check to clear. I checked with Suntrust on whether the check had cleared on the XXXX of XXXX in person. At that time they up sold me on a credit card and did not recommend any action on my part. Then I called a week later, the marketing firm was asking me to complete the store evaluation, suntrust 's person on the phone told me my account was being closed. At the time I had {$1300.00} in the account. I did not understand. I recieved a form letter that said the check was being held pending investigation and my account was frozen because the amount of the check was greater than the amount in the account. I tried accessing my account online and it did not exist according to the Web site. On the XXXX they sent the check back and charged me a retuned check fee and an overdraft fee. I had not removed any money from the account. XXXX XXXX I received a check in the mail for $ XXXX {$48.00} I went into the branch to find out what was happening and they cut up my debit card and said they were severing their relationship with me. This is while I have a credit card with them and an unreleased mortgage. They foreclosed on my house after refusing to refinance and refusing to modify after I paid the mortgage for a year and a half while unemployed and under employed and maintainted the mortgage on another home. I was homeless and living in my car while paying them. I was working and earning {$3300.00} per month while the mortgage was {$2600.00} and condo fee {$460.00}. that is a whole other story. It is just to say that my relationship with suntrust has been too long and they have made my life more difficult and I just feel like they messed with me again and stole {$36.00} dollars from me. They sold my house out from under me and have not released the debt because the worth of the house was more than my remaining mortgage and $ XXXX more than they sold it for. I have no idea how to get rid of this albatross. I would like to sever my relationship with them but I do not know how to do it. Really from this interaction all I want is my overdraft fee back and the credit card request off of my credit report
