Consumer Complaint: I received an unsolicited " XXXX '' prepaid card directly from SunTrust XXXX XXXX, FL ) via USPS mail. I reside in XXXX XXXX, California. A reasonable person would think that receiving the card this way infers that it was sent via a third party as either as gift or payment of a claim or refund. Only after " biting '' and following the instructions given to activate the card was it clear that was not the case. Now I feel I have been " fooled '' as they have my phone number and codes I used to activate the card ... the card I then found had a zero balance. It is important to note that this card carries baggage with it in the form their sharing if my information to other third parties and of very high fees for almost any transaction.

Consumer Complaint: I have been struggling to make my mortgage payments of {$2400.00} per month. I have consistently been late, however, I have consistently made them. I am currently only 45 days late XXXX XXXX & XXXX XXXX and I am prepared to make the XXXX payment, which will make me only 15 days late. I am currently paying 7.5 % interest. Suntrust is my loan servicer and XXXX Bank is apparently my loan investor. I have filed all of the mortgage modification paperwork necessary. I would consider any option which would allow me to keep my home ; however, modification of my interest rate was really what I would prefer. I got a call yesterday, from Suntrust, informing me that they would not modify my loan. The only option they gave me was a short sale they did not offer me any other options. Unfortunately, because I have liens ( which I am servicing ) on my property, I can not sell the home. Also, because my mortgage payment just want from interest to interest and principal, I am unable to rent my home. Finally, I can not refinance because my credit is so bad. I want to keep my home ; however, I can not continue to make payments at 7.5 % leaving me only XXXX option, which is to fall into foreclosure. If Suntrust and the investor would lower my interest to a reasonable rate I would be able to make my payments in a timely fashion and avoid the monthly penalties and fees that I am being charged ( currently approximately {$7000.00}. ) Additionally, and as a second complaint, Suntrust has repeatedly harassed me by phone. I notified them in writing to not contact me any further. After written notification not to contact me by phone, they continued to call me repeatedly. In fact, they sent someone to my home XXXX evening who left a note on my door telling me to contact Suntrust about my mortgage payment. ( see attached letter XXXX If Suntrust files for foreclosure, I have every intention to countersue them XXXX and XXXX Bank, the investor ) for violation of state and federal law related to their repeated harassment. I need help ... .I can make the payments however as long as the interest rate is 7.5 % I will continue to fall behind, continue to incur ridiculous penalties and fees, and will fall into foreclosure. I am simply asking Suntrust and the investor to lower my interest rate. I have filed all the mortgage modification paperwork and the only option they gave me as to short sell the home. No other options were given.

Consumer Complaint: In XXXX of 2015 an auto pay was set up for equity line with Suntrust through our XXXX personal account but amount was set up wrong only because our first statement reflected partial month. Our payments were made on the same day of each month in the sum of {$400.00} instead of the {$680.00} which was the correct amount. We have another mortgage with Suntrust for which we have been making an extra payment of {$2000.00} per month for the past two years to reduce principal. Lender never notified us about the shortage in payment via phone, text or email -although this information was provided to them ( myself, my husband or my office ) nor did they ever send a late payment letter in the mail until end of XXXX. Due to the lender 's failure to properly notify us. We have several mortgages with our businesses, credit lines and credit cards and we have never been late for the past 25 years ) our credit score dropped almost XXXX points and line was closed. If lender -had given us a fair chance to remedy the error, this problem would have been resolved immediately.

Consumer Complaint: I have had numerous unauthorized withdrawals from my checking and savings accounts with Suntrust Bank, XXXX was an illegitimate Pay Pal account that was withdrawing directly from my savings and checking accounts. When I approached the bank to have these rescinded the person assisting me assisting me asked if I had a pay pal account, to which I answered yes one that is tied to my debit card not my bank accounts. He intimated that I was at fault and that he would not help me, that I should contact pay pal and have them do something. I contacted pay pal, sure enough the person stealing my money did not have a legitimate pay pal account. I was instructed to contact the police to have this matter looked into and that I would have my money refunded. No refund, no help from the bank. A few days later the same thing happened to XXXX of the XXXX new accounts that I had opened, to prevent any further withdrawals from taking place, no help from the bank. This is XXXX issue I have with this bank, the other was a recurring charge that took place monthly but the bank would not help me locate who the money was sent to so that I could have it stopped. I contacted the XXXX number and was told that all moneys were going to be refunded upon their receipt of a signed affidavit sent to me by e-mail, I never received the e-mail, called again was promised the same thing, no e-mail, called again and was told I would receive XXXX in the mail, you guessed it no affidavit. I have since closed that account to prevent this from happening any further but in so doing my claim for the refund has been rescinded. An additional problem is concerning a separate account that was being charged a monthly fee when it should have been no charge as there was a direct deposit being made to that account as per the bank 's requirements. I do n't trust this bank nor do I think they are very interested in customer service.

Consumer Complaint: I opened an account with Suntrust on XX/XX/XXXX in XXXX, Va in order to automatically deposit my Social Security and Pension monthly. At this point, I have an account with XXXX XXXX XXXX but recently moved to XXXX, Va and there is no XXXX XXXX XXXX. Suntrust opened the checking acct with no problems. I received my checks and XXXX debit cards with different acct numbers. When I called Suntrust about this, they told me to destroy XXXX card and the other was okay to use. I then transferred my Social Security and Pension to Suntrust. About a week later, I received a call from Suntrust saying they could not keep the account open with no explanation and I would receive a letter and my deposit in the mail. This did not happen. I changed my fund back to XXXX XXXX XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, I went back to Suntrust to find out what happened. They told me there was nothing wrong with the account, it was active and they could see no problems with accepting my deposits. I made a small deposit to test the system and no problems. I then transferred my Social Security and Pension back to Suntrust. The following week, I called Social Security and Pension and transferred back to Suntrust. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a call from Suntrust saying they were closing my account again but did not know why. I then called Suntrust Corporate and talked to them. They also could not see a problem. I was told to go back to the branch which I will be going tomorrow. This situation has caused me to having health issues. I am a senior and have been XXXX since XX/XX/XXXX. I don ; t even know if I want the account now but it is the principal of the matter and feel I have a right to know why I 'm having this problem, not to mention having to call Social Security and my Pension and redirecting my info over and over again. No one should go thru this to open a checking account. Please help me solve this problem. Thank you
