I did not authorize the withdrawal, and as such, I am requesting that the funds be returned to my account immediately. I am also requesting a full investigation into how and why this unauthorized transaction occurred.Business Response

I opened two accounts on 4/26/25. One account is a personal checking, and the other a money market account. I deposited more than 29k into my personal checking account as my opening deposit, all funds have cleared and are available. However on Monday 4/28/25 Truist closed all my accounts and have yet to return my deposit. I have reached out multiple times and Truist has not returned my money to me.Business Response

I have a personal loan with Truist. My monthly payment is just under $600. Every month I make a payment but may not be able to pay the full amount sometimes. On 3 occasions Truist has automatically without my consent or knowledge removed money from my checking account for this loan. Which ultimately puts my account negative. The most recent was 4/28/2025 I made a payment of $500 the total due including past due was $950.50. I planned to make an additional payment when I was paid next. But Truist automatically took the full $950.50 without my knowledge or consent and put my checking account $714 negative. Truist has never called me or my husband to discuss the loan or past due amounts. When I called them they told me its in my contract that they can remove the money after 45 days or no payment. But each month I have made a payment so it has not fallen 45 days late. I want Truist to refund all the late charges they have incrued due to them pulling money with out consent.Business Response

I bought windows and financed them through the above company. Before they sent a letter regarding the payments, they called and ran through the agreement. I specifically asked if recurring payments were allowed as its easy to forget things sometimes. I was told yes. They sent me my welcome packet and it states no recurring credit card payments. Only checking or savings accounts. I was also told that I can make one time payments and when I call back next time they will confirm my banking information. This means my information is stored and they have it on file. If my savings or checking account get hacked - I have little recourse. Thats why I wanted to use a credit card. I was NEVER told that I could ONLY use a checking or savings account. If I knew that I would NEVER have financed.Business Response

This is a formal complaint against Truist/GS for inaccurately reporting a $7,128.00 charge-off account under number ****************. The account is being reported with irregularities concerning the date of delinquency and charge-off, and there is a complete lack of transparency about the accounts origin and documentation. This violates Truist/GSs responsibilities under 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 and the credit reporting agencies' obligations under 1681e(b) to ensure only verified and accurate data is shared. I have submitted disputes to both Truist and the credit bureaus, and their responses have lacked the required supporting evidence. Under 15 U.S. Code 1681i, they are legally required to perform a reasonable reinvestigation and provide conclusive results. Instead, I have received nothing but generic confirmations with no proof. I have reason to believe that this inaccurate reporting is a direct result of a data breach involving my sensitive personal information. Truists failure to correct this inaccurate tradeline or adequately respond to my disputes has been completely insufficient, and I am demanding a reinvestigation and correction to bring this reporting into compliance with federal law.Business Response

I opened a checking account with ********************** on September 30th 2024 using the promo code TRUIST400DC24. This promo promised to pay $400 if I had one direct deposit of $500 or more and made 15 debit card purchases within 90 days of opening my account. According to the terms and conditions, direct deposits are defined as, an electronic credit of your salary, Social Security, or other regular monthly income deposited into your new checking account by your employer or outside agency. I received a deposit from my employer of $522.24 on October 18th 2024. I also had 15 qualifying debit card purchases by November 22nd 2024. Truist is now denying my $400 bonus because they claim the type of direct deposit did not meet their terms and conditions. But it is very clearly stated in the terms and conditions that I only needed to receive a deposit of $500 from my employer. It did not specify that it had to be an ACH deposit.Business Response

My auto loan payment with Truist was due on April 11th, 2025, I was not able to make the payment until the 25th of April which I noticed that May's payment had been added to my April's balance. I contacted customer ********************** and requested the removal of ****** payment from the balance due, which it was successfully done, it appeared online as one payment for April to be drafted for $1148.11 on April the 25th, however on April 25th two payments were drafted when I only authorized one. When contacting customer **********************, I was advised to wait 2 business days, and the payment would be returned by check not electronically.Business Response
