Issue: Improper use of your report

Subissue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

Consumer Complaint: Attached to this complaint are 5 hard inquires from XXXX ( 2 ), XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX. I have spoken with all 4 companies and none of them are willing to work with me on reporting these as unauthorized/fraudulent. I would like them removed ASAP. I have worked with both parties and neither the 3 companies or XXXX or XXXX are willing to help me get these removed. They both say back and forth call them and ask and vice versa.

Issue: Trouble during payment process

Subissue:

Consumer Complaint: I have a mortgage on a property that requires flood insurance. Suntrust bank requires a copy of the policy annually. My association has the insurer forward the updated policy annually. For the last 2 years, at least, they have claimed that they have not received it despite it being sent via fax 3 times, with loan number included. I have been threatened with forced flood insurance in multiple letter mailings. Each year I have to make numerous calls and the representatives I speak with refuse to give me access to a manager. They claim they will send an email to inform the " managers '' but I can't speak to one. In an effort to resolve this issue, both this year and going forward, I spoke directly with my insurer and had a conference call with a representative. They refused to allow the insurer to speak with a manager as well. They claimed they will email a manager and that they would contact my insurance representative in 24 hrs. I will never take out a mortgage with these people again. My time is valuable and I have lost hours of it in attempting to resolve this problem.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem

Subissue: Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone

Consumer Complaint: I had my identity stolen in XX/XX/XXXX. The thieves opened 2 credit line accounts with SunTrust bank. I found out in XX/XX/XXXX. Had a police report made and notified the the 3 Credit Bureaus. All of them is such a difficult thing to get help. almost impossible. The websites aren't clear as to what to do. The numbers they provide are not right, as they are automated and no way to speak to a person. In special with XXXX, I filed a dispute, notified them of the identity theft back in XX/XX/XXXX, printed a report with the information and as of today, XX/XX/XXXX my credit is still showing the derogatory information. It is absurd what a person has to go through after being victimized by thieves. Something needs to be done about these companies. XXXX XXXX is the same thing. I notified the 3 of the fraud, yet, I had to spend the day talking to them.

Issue: Trouble during payment process

Subissue:

Consumer Complaint: Tried to make an additional {$1000.00} principal payment online but was denied. Message came up that you must first pay PREVIOUS MONTH Payment first. Today is XX/XX/XXXX, previous month was paid in full on XX/XX/XXXX. Previous month is XXXX!!! Asked to speak with customer service supervisor. She said I was on a recorded line, I told her she was on a recorded line as well She said she had to hang up on me, and she did. I asked her for information on corporate office at Suntrust and she hung up on me. I consider that a breach of service commitment by SunTrust. All of my previous loan servicers allowed me to make additional principal payments without any restrictions. SunTrust is in breach of service as my mortgage servicer by failing to provide me with information necessary to me in conducting financial transactions.

Issue: Opening an account

Subissue: Didn't receive terms that were advertised

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/2019 I went into a SunTrust branch to open an Advantage Checking account. This was after I received targeted advertising on XXXX about a {$250.00} bonus for opening checking account and satisfying the requirements. I requested a code to my email and opened the checking account successfully with that code. I was in the process of setting up my direct deposits to this account when I receieved an email from SunTrust offers saying " Thank you for your recent enrollment into the SunTrust Advantage Checking Offer XX/XX/2019. Based on our verification process, your account is not eligible to participate in this offer based on the reason below : To be eligible to participate in this promotion, clients must be U.S. Residents with a U.S. address and a valid U.S. taxpayer ID number. '' During the entire time in branch I was never told that the promotion does not apply to me although I do reside in U.S. with a valid address and possess a valid social security number. My status is a U.S. residents for tax purposes, having met the substantial presence test. I think SunTrust is pulling a bait and switch of sorts : luring foreigners with valid work authorization to open checking accounts with deceptive advertisements then denying the incentives afterwards. Now I am stuck with an account that I can not get out of and no bonus to soften my ordeal.

I require these statements in a PDF file format in order to attach to a separate complaint against XXXX XXXX.

A subsequent replacement check was sent and intercepted by a third party, cashed in my name without my conest or knowledge. The funds were stolen, XXXX XXXX refuses to reissue check for funds owed to me.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement

Subissue: Card was charged for something you did not purchase with the card

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX, my credit card was apparently used at XXXX XXXX # XXXX ( {$2000.00} ) and XXXX # XXXX ( {$860.00} ) in XXXX, GA. I still had my physical card in my wallet, but was later told by my credit card company, Suntrust, that a chip reader was used for the purchases. The purchases were both made between XXXX and XXXX XXXX EST. I saw the charges online, froze my credit card, and called Suntrust within a couple hours of the purchases being made. I was in XXXX County ( XXXX, Ga ) at work at XXXX XXXX XXXX during the time of the purchases which can be verified by my clock in/clock out times. I contacted the merchants XX/XX/XXXX and was informed that they did have video recordings for the investigation. I contacted the police but did not file a report at that time since I was told I would have to go to XXXX to do so, and I live in XXXX, Ga ( my credit card billing address is in XXXX at my parents address ). The fraud investigation was done through the credit card company and I was emailed on XX/XX/XXXX that the claim had been denied, and the charges were deemed valid. At that point I contacted multiple people at Suntrust including several supervisors and was informed I could not speak to anyone from the investigation and they had no further recourse. The only reason I was given for why the claim was denied was that a hip reader was used. I spoke with a branch manager in person, and he filed a formal complaint with the company. I was also told an escalation email had been sent to the fraud investigators but that they may not respond to it. I filed a police report on XX/XX/XXXX to try and retrieve the video footage and information regarding whose XXXX XXXX membership was used for the purchase as I am not a member of XXXX XXXX. I did not authorize nor do I have any knowledge of these charges, and I am currently being held financial responsible for them on my Suntrust MasterCard credit card. I have been told by the company there is nothing else to do about the situation which sounds insane to me.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account status incorrect

Consumer Complaint: My mortgage with Suntrust Bank was sold off to another company in XXXX this year. I am trying top refinance but the data Suntrust supplied to the credit reporting agencies was missing or not complete. I called Suntrust weeks ago and asked for a 5 year record of my payments on my mortgage ( # XXXX ) and was told they would only mail it. It's been a couple weeks and I have received nothing. I aske if the could email it but that wasn't an option. This is holding up my loan application.
