Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Information belongs to someone else

Consumer Complaint: I keep getting hard inquiries on my credit report that I never made from a bank in XXXX. I have one from XXXX and I called and they said it was an error and were supposed to remove it from my report. I then froze my credit because I was worried about identity theft. I just got a notification that the same bank pulled my credit again yesterday and when I checked the other inquiry is still on my report as well. At this point I dont know what to do. I thought my credit was frozen so nobody could try to open accounts in my name, but the same bank is still allowing someone to try to open accounts I my name.

Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage

Subissue:

Consumer Complaint: I have been in forbearance since XX/XX/XXXX, thus allowing me 18 months of forbearance.

This is causing me to be at risk of entering foreclosure prior to my application for HOA funding being approved, processed and dispersed. Please help me with correcting the issue and extending forbearance until XX/XX/XXXX.

Issue: Opening an account

Subissue: Unable to open an account

Consumer Complaint: I opened an account online with BB & T bank on XX/XX/XXXX as a result of a promotional flier I received in the mail. I deposited {$50.00} via an online transfer, and then tried to deposit $ XXXX in the account in person a week or two afterwards. However, when I went to the branch I was told that the account was frozen due to fraud concerns. The branch manager said he would look into it and call me later, but he never did. I forgot about it for a few months and then I got a notice saying that the account was negative due to monthly fees. According to the bank, the account was frozen and never fully opened so I don't see why they were charging fees. I just recently received a notice that they are sending the negative balance to collections and will seek to charge another {$30.00} fee.

Issue: Problem when making payments

Subissue: Problem during payment process

Consumer Complaint: I have a Suntrust credit card. Suntrust merged with BBT and when they did they merged they changed my payment information. I have been paying the same way with my XXXX XXXX account for around 5 years. When I went to make a payment on XX/XX/21 I noticed that when I selected my XXXX XXXX account it had someone else 's name on it, but with my routing and account number. The even stranger thing is that it is my bosses name. Somehow they associated me with my boss. I have been calling them for 2 days. I am bounced from one department to the next. Customer service says its the digital banking department and the digital banking department says its customer service who handles this. I think this is pretty scary that they are merging peoples financial information. I tried to edit the information online but that is not allowed. I tried adding it again but it wont let me because it is the same banking info. I couldn't find any way to delete and re-enter the info either. So right now I can't make a payment on my account and it is very unsettling that they are this careless with financial information.

Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage

Subissue:

Consumer Complaint: I was referred to Sun Trust/Truist Bank late XXXX to obtain a home loan/mortgage for a home purchase. Initially, the process started as expected. However, as time went on, it seemed more and more people got involved and started asking for the same documents I had sent to other team members earlier. There was no main lead or streamline and rather a very chaotic and clustered experience. There were probably about a half dozen people involved in document intake and processing and when they would ask me for additional docs or to clarify certain things, it would be very hard to get an explanation of what exactly they were wanting. Calls and emails would go unanswered or unreturned as we navigated through a tight time frame to closing day. It was so egregious that at one point another person 's tax document and business profit and loss statement was sent to me via email and I was asked to explain that. The breach of privacy was remarkable and if in my profession as a physician I had done that, well let 's just leave it at that. Later, it was explained to me that these erroneous documents were obtained from a mere pass through acquaintance from another bank that I briefly spoke to in my search for a home loan lender through the referral process. The lenders at Sun Trust had assumed this person was my personal banker and never asked or confirmed with me before trying to obtain documents from him, nor did I ever authorize they obtain documents from a third party when I was providing them with whatever they asked for diligently and promptly, many of which a second or even third time. Later, I was shamed or at least perhaps in an attempt to divert attention away from that incident described above, for inadvertently not including child support payments on the initial application. However, I've come to understand, according to the Equal Credit Opportunity Act Notice, child support need not be revealed if you do not wish to have it considered in determining your credit/worthiness. So that was a moot point then. Moving on, the chaos would continue as more and more higher ups got involved and there was a quality improvement or investigation that was prompted by the circumstances mentioned above. As we worked toward closing, finally we were given closing disclosures only to have the rug pulled out from underneath us on the actual day of closing after that was pushed back from the original date itself and into our 8 day extension time. The lender stated the underwriters would not approve the loan citing guidelines that defy common sense and the fact that I was more than qualified based off my income and salary. This was shocking news to everyone involved and anecdotally it was stated by several involved parties that either they had never seen anything like this or possibly the 2nd time this type of scenario unfolded in careers 20-30 years immersed in the industry. I lost {$10000.00} in earnest money that day and all respect for Sun Trust/Truist Bank . The blindside left us scattering and desperate, while already at a loss for XXXX, we pivoted thanks to the miraculous wisdom and creativity on the part of a few people involved. I will be happy to give names if asked but will leave those out in this initial complaint. Sun Trust/Truist turned my life upside down, put me through unnecessary stress, and harshly dismissed my case at the end after providing closing disclosures -- so late in the process that it literally left us homeless and living out of boxes. We had to scamper and luckily found a way through all this. In my field as a physician, the saying is you treat the patient and not the numbers. The latter is what Sun Trust tried to do- hide behind underwriting guidelines that defy common sense. They did a really bad job at it, however, because interestingly enough the numbers were are on my side as well. They didn't care about the human element in this. They lack the personal touch and compassion to provide a desirable product to the consumer, in my opinion.

Issue: Trouble during payment process

Subissue:

Consumer Complaint: Some years ago, Suntrust Bank reorganized their mortgage billing process. I was instructed to dispose of the current billing in lieu of the new billing being sent. It is an XX/XX/XXXX loan and the 80 % billing part of the loan came as normal, but the 10 % billing part did not, so I decided to use the old payment stubs to pay that month. Due to the fact that the 10 % billing statemnt of the mortgage arrives with a week or less to pay it, I have continued the " use last month 's stub '' process for 2 years or more to pay both the 80 % and 10 % mortgages. When I called to Suntrust and asked to have the 10 % billing sent earlier, I was told that could not happen. All billing was automatic and that I would have to use their grace period. I was also told they can not control the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and they could not guarantee when my bill would arrive. I asked the customer service representative if he was sure he could not change the date, he assured me that it could not be done. When I look at the 10 % billing statement date of XX/XX/XXXX and it does not arrive at my home until XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, it makes me wonder where the stall in the process is. The postal service is usually faster than 10 days. What makes this questionable is that the 80 % billing statement was run on XX/XX/XXXX. So maybe the 10 % billing statement could be run earlier?
