      1) Sunflower Bank wouldn't give me my money on the spot, upon closing my account.2) Sunflower Bank deducted $5.03 from my balance for a "fee" which couldn't explained.* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Had a CD account at Sunflower Bank that matured one week ago. Renewal rate was too low so went to withdraw my funds at Sunflower Bank on **********. in *******, **. Id found a much better rate elsewhere.This was near 12:30pm on Tuesday, 1018/22.I was told the manager was out to lunch, that no one else could sign the check, that Id have to return or have the check mailed (nope!).Two hours later received call saying my cashier's check was ready but when I went and got it, it was $5.03 less than what my balance was. Was told it was a "fee" and there was no way of avoiding it as it was the cost of closing my account. Asked for the manager but he was already gone again, so he'd made a very brief appearance, signed my check then split again.Was told there was nothing that could be done so I asked for name and number of who to contact at Sunflower Bank as to complain. Was given the name of *************************, Regional Manager. When I called, *********************, Branch Manager answered, said the Regional Manager was out of the office until Thursday, which was two days later.Immediately typed up and sent an email to the both of them explaining how I'd been treated at the ******* branch, adding that I was told it was a good thing I didn't miss the maturity date because much more would have been taken from my funds. Didn't add that after I'd left the bank, was on the road, received a call asking me to return to sign the closing document(s).So, the closing wasn't even handled right. Totally unprofessional, every step of the way.My email was sent last Tuesday so tomorrow will be a full week since my experience, my call & email. Theres been no absolutely no acknowledgement whatsoever--

      My bank account was shut down after a dispute over an overdraft charge. Around ***************************** my accounts. I have talked to sunflowers customer service a half dozen times, each time to be told we will look into it and call you back. no calls. Most recently I spoke to a customer care lead named Sydney and was notified the check was sent out 7/29. I told them something is wrong and I want my money. Like clockwork she said she would look into it and let me know what is happening. no call. As a resolution I would like the money that was stolen from me. Sending a check isn't gonna work either because the opportunity was there to do that but instead sunflower thinks because they are a big bank and im one person they can pocket my money. If I cant get this resolved asap I will be forced to seek criminal penalties for this blatant fraud and theft. This is a predatory institution and I will treat it as such.

      Mortgage fees: other, late, and miscellaneous charges. Increased escrow without notification. They held over $800-$2,000 in unapplied funds, and kept charging me for late fees and other fees. They refused to refund my fees, and if I did not pay them fees added late fees while holding unapplied moneys. EFT transfers held for days before apply to mortgage. Every EFT has a note that overages are applied to principal. Refused to provide explanation. Refused to provide an email to stop escrow. Taxes did not increase. Insurance increased $3. They charged over $150 a month in escrow increase and fines. Please see exact numbers in the attached spreadsheet. Mortgage ********** March was a change in escrow, no notification. February was two payments, so I would always be ahead. Email is the best method of communication, as I am extremely deaf. I am 80 years old.

      Sunflower Bank did not answer all of the concerns.
      1. Wrongfully charging fees
      2. Increase of Escrow tax Statement, not received
      3. Unapplied fund account, held money (charged me interest, by not applying this money to
      payments)
      4. Late fee in April, spiraled out of control with additional late fees
      5. Other undefined fees, never explained
      6. Investigate increase in escrow, $3.75 from insurance and no property tax increase ($47.16
      increase to escrow) $204.50 from $194.62.
      7. Guardian $86.80 advanced a unauthorized loan, did not contact me by phone of letter
      8. Delayed posting my money for days, after receiving fund, put in unapplied account, starting in
      March $1,038 to unapplied funds accounting errors - Over charging on interest by not posting
      EFT funds in a timely manner.
      9. Self-profiting with additional fees.
      10. Reported me to the credit bureau for non-payment. They forced me to pay additional fees to stop
      their $260.80 wrongful late charges and to discontinue the escrow account blackmailed to pay a
      waiver fee of $543.30, so that my monthly balance due never changes from this untrustworthy
      company.

      They finally applied the unapplied money and refunded the balance , which was supposed to be applied
      to principal for over payments. I sent overage payments with a comment to apply extra to principal.
      I have not received refund for late or other fees or missing interest for unapplied postings.

      I am not closing this complaint. It has not been satisfied.

      Sincerely,
      ************************;
