Truist Bank, **********, and ******* have reported inconsistent and inaccurate payment history on the same account across two bureaus, violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), including 1681e(b) and 1681i. They updated derogatory items without proper investigation or notice, damaging my credit and violating my rights. I am requesting immediate correction and compensation for these reporting errors.Business Response

I have had an RV loan at *********** since the dealership set up the account in 2021. I have paid ahead on my account and currently have no payments due until June 22, 2025. I contacted customer ********************** multiple times to get a payoff. The first time the representative told me my current payment would need to post before they could give me an amount. The next day the representative told me that the payment had posted but he could not give me a written payoff immediately. I could either have it sent **** mail or faxed. I requested to have it faxed, and he told me it would take two days for this to be faxed, that they had no way of confirming payoff in any digital format. I inquired the next day and the representative told me there was NO record of my requests for a payoff. She said she would fax the payoff. Of course, every day the interest continues to accumulate and by the time they faxed the payoff, although my account balance was much less than the payoff amount, it continued to accrue and the payoff was higher than we were shown. It's like a vicious cycle and they have accumulated interest every day while they state they are unable to fax the payoff amount for days, they delay and continue to add the interest. This would have been paid off last week but they still continue to change the payoff amount by the time we receive the delayed fax showing that amount. There is no excuse for this type of delay. They need to send immediate payoff amount, not delay for days and then change the amount. There is no reason to delay a fax for days, the CURRENT payoff amount should be digitally shown to the payer in writing. So far, I have now had a 9 day delay of $4.30 per day just because of their inability to provide the requested information in a timely manner, which has required me to make additional payments for no reason other than to cover the interest while they continue to delay the payoff information.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: the response from Truist Bank was ONLY a blank form for me to sign to release information, which I have attached with my signature. There was zero response to the issue at hand. They still refuse to give the immediate payoff but instead continue to charge me interest daily. This payoff should have been completed nearly two weeks ago. The first two times I requested the payoff, the request was never submitted according to the representative that I spoke to the THIRD different day that I phoned. Everything was done via phone as you cannot reach anyone otherwise, yet they refuse to give the payoff over the phone and take 2 days to fax the info...that is once they decide to move forward, with the amount changing during that time. This is just an underhanded ploy to accumulate interest on the loan that is requested to be paid off. I have now been forced to pay daily interest for this extra two weeks so far.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because for one the email address is incorrect email address for the person they state will be responding. I do not want to accept this response because all they are stating is that someone will reach out within 15 days - but I have no idea what their response will be. This issue is not resolved in any way.Customer Answer
Date: 05/27/2025
I am rejecting this response because:
The bank did NOT respond other than to send a form for me to sign to release personal information, which I did.
Then BBB said it was closed because the bank tried to make an effort. That is total BS. They have not responded in any way other than that, and now they have locked me out of my account. I have no idea what the status is, whether the loan was ever paid off, whether I am in good standing etc. NOTHING. How is this making an effort? And moreover, how is this acceptable behavior for a lending institution. Please let me know what I can do at this point.Thank you,

On 04/14/2025, I traveled to TRUIST in order for my mother to make a withdrawal (w/d) from our account (acct). My mother entered the facility and came back to the vehicle stating I needed to go in and complete the w/d due to the teller not being willing to use her military issued *** I went in the bank and provided my ID to an individual whose name tag had **** on it. **** stated my mother's ID could not be used because she had no way to identify who my mother was as well as there was no address on the *** (My mother made a deposit days prior and had to wait for it to clear. The same acct she deposited money in was the same acct she was withdrawing from. Our acct is 20+ years old, and we both married after the acct was opened. We have completed numerous transactions withdrawing money from this acct and the line of credit since both our names changed.) Due to my last name not matching my ID **** asked me some questions and she eventually went and got an individual who had on a name tag that said ******* ******. ******* had me to verify my DOB, SS#, address, type of accounts we had with **********************, the last deposit amount, type of deposit, she even questioned if I planned to change my deeds. There was nothing left for her to ask to verify who I was. I informed her my last name changed, but my SS#, address, and license number were still the same. After asking all this information she asked an individual who was in the area next to her (name tag said ******) what is typically done in my situation. ****** asked if I had provided relevant information and ******* stated yes. ****** then informed ******* once information is verified the transaction can be completed, but it was her decision. ******* then informed me she needed something with my maiden name on it. I went to my vehicle and got ADDITIONAL verification. This interaction with ******* caused us to tell her to close the savings acct. We were there over 40+ minutes. This was a first for us at TRUIST, NOT A GOOD ONE!Business Response

I bought a new ac unit, the company who installed it recommended service financial llc (sub of Truist), we were approved. A couple of months later we received a bill, I paid it with a check. The next month I received an emailthe day the payment was due, I called the company, they gave me a website to pay. When I pulled it up, my Apple computer with spy are etc on it, had more red warning signs than I have ever seen. I called company talked to a *** who transferred me to a ?manger?, I asked for a physical bill to be sent out, he agreed. The next month same thing happened, I called again and agreed to send a check in the mail (which was cashed). Now we are in the third payment schedule, no physical bill came, I received an email again, called again, they said a supervisor would call me back w/i 48 hours, while talking with worker he said **** was sent out but not to our address! He wouldnt verify what address it was sent to. The company immediately sends something that is causing my credit score to drop! I am at a loss as what to do HELPBusiness Response

I noticed some fraudulent transactions on my account and noticed they've been occuring for a few months. Called truist customer ********************** to file a claim, they promptly canceled my debit card and issued a new card.I was told on the call that I could only dispute the last 6months based on the age of the charges and trust policy. I accepted because that was better than nothing A couple weeks later I received a letter stating the claim was being denied because it was outside the window to file a claim Called customer ********************** and was told that the claim was denied because the transactions were older than 30days old. After going back and forth on this as this is the first I'm hearing of this, I asked about the transactions that were under 30days old and why those ones were also denied. I was informed that because the first of the transactions was over 30 days every other one in that series would also be denied and that was truist policy I've never heard of anything this ridiculous and asked to be provided with the policy information but the representative was unable to provide any policy information to show that as official truist policyBusiness Response

My mortgage went up almost $200 and Truist is unable to explain why. My property taxes actually went down by $1500. Insurance went from $3665 to $3,724. Numbers don't add up to a $200 a month increase. Representative lacked basic accounting skills and was only able to read the fields on her screen.Business Response

Today I received two emails from Truist alerting me that my "credit" application was denied, but that an email of mine had been added to a Truist account. I did none of this -- this is identity theft/******** the emails I received from Truist, it says, "If you or an authorized user made this change, no further action is required. If you don't recognize this change, please call us." I have just spent 30 minutes trying to call. None of this company's fraud hotlines or phone numbers allow you to speak with someone unless you have an account. But someone just tried to open a Truist account in my name, so I cannot reach the company because of their phone tree system. I need to speak to someone at Truist -- and their phone tree system needs to be fixed!Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:
1) I am being asked by the BBB to accept Truist's response within 5 days. Truist's response is that they will be in touch within 15 days. There is no guarantee that they will reply satisfactorily (or at all) within 15 days, so I cannot accept their current (non)response.2) The form they sent asking me to fill out asks for my bank account number with them. Part of my issue with ********************** is that I DO NOT have an account with them. As such, their recent reply suggests my message has not yet been read. This is a form response.
