Company: TRUIST FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: IN
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Managing an account
Sub-issue: Deposits and withdrawals

Complaint:
A checking account was opened with Truist, and direct deposit was set up. After the first direct deposit was deposited, the account and access to funds were locked. The reason given was the fraud department did not like the IP address compared to the home address. Truist then demanded an in person verification of the account owner, despite being hours away from a local branch. Truist kept any phone calls on hold for hours, and would refer me to branch managers who would then never respond or follow-up again. 

I reached out via email and phone to multiple branches and customer support lines without a resolution to the issue. 

Overall the problem was locked funds based on an issue that was detected before the funds were even first deposited, and required unreasonable action from the consumer.

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2022 I wrote a personal check for {$12000.00} on my Chase bank account to " XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX '' for accounting services. I mailed the check at a USPS branch. 

The check was stolen from the mail and did not reach XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. 
I checked my bank statement and it showed that the check was altered with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX being erased and a XXXX XXXX written in. 
The alteration is plainly visible as the writing does not match the rest of the check. 

The check was fraudulently cashed at a XXXX XXXX XXXX branch subsequently. 
I made a claim with Chase bank to recover the funds and they in turn put a claim in to XXXX  XXXX XXXX. I have made countless inquiries to Chase Bank with no luck. Chase bank says that XXXX  XXXX XXXX will not respond to this claim. Now it seems that Chase has given up on this claim. 

XXXX  XXXX XXXX should have made an enquiry on the authenticity of this forged check and contacted Chase or myself to determine it authenticity. They were negligent in not doing so and need to reimburse me for the lost funds. 

I filed a police report ( enclosed ) XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX have verified in a letter that they did not receive the funds. ( enclosed ) Letters from Chase bank ( enclosed ) I looks like chase bank have given up on me. 

I tried contacting XXXX  XXXX XXXX but without a file number I can get nowhere. Chase Bank will not give me a contact or a claim number at XXXX  XXXX XXXX so I can follow up on this claim.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
XXXX asked to run my credit report for them taking over my alarm system. All of my equipment was either paid outright or I already owned it. There is currently an open loan on my TransUnion credit report for {$38.00} showing as paid but still open. When I pull my credit it shows I have 2 open loans one for my car which is valid and one for XXXX which is invalid. Ive contacted TransUnion twice and XXXX 4-5 times. Neither of them taking responsibility. TransUnion asks XXXX if the information is correct. And they respond yes it is however when I contact XXXX they state that it is not a loan and only reported as a utility company. Based on this logic if I kept this XXXX service for say 10 years I would have an open and paid loan from XXXX for 10 years. Or for as long as I kept the semi would have an open loan. 

When I pull my report it says account type is loan and loan type is utility company. I have utilities for water, phone, internet etc and not one of them has ever been on my credit report as a loan. Neither TransUnion not XXXX will make any good faith effort to remedy the situation. Rather it appears to be some automated or unknowledgeable person confirming the accuracy of the account information. Perhaps they are only reading utility company and dont recognize that it is preceded by the words loan type. I am hoping that you can force them to make the correction. Please feel free to publish my comments I dont want anyone else to go through this. I would rather go back to my old alarm company than deal with this incompetence.

Complaint:
I have been trying to get this issue resolved since the middle of last year XX/XX/2022. There are fraud accounts that are reporting that the companies keep verifying but fail to send me the steps or proof of how they verified thus information. As a consumer I have rights and I know that what the companies are doing is illegal. Per 15 USC 1681B If i state an account isn't mine it must be removed. AGAIN No one has sent me a wet signature confirming that it was me who created these fraud accounts! This is distasteful and I am going to take legal action if this matter isn't finally resolved once and for all.

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2022 I sent a letter regarding inaccurate and unknown things on my credit report. To this day over 60 days later I have not received a response yet. I feel like I'm being taken advantage of and being ignored by my disputes. Section 611 ( a ), It is plainly stated that a failure to investigate those items within 30 days gives a reason to immediately remove those items from my credit report. It has been over 60 days so they should be deleted promptly. I demand these accounts de deleted immediately or I will file for ligation due to the stress you caused me. My information was also impacted by the Equifax data breach and may have gotten into the hands of the wrong person.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: NJ
Product: Credit card
Issue: Late fee

Complaint:
I use my bank 's automated bill pay service to pay my monthly minimum for my Amazon XXXX Credit Card issued by Synchrony Bank. My due date is the XXXX and my minimum is {$50.00} to which I add {$5.00} for a total payment of {$55.00}. Synchrony receives this payment on the XXXX of each month. In the month of XXXX ( likely due to the holiday weekend ), my scheduled payment failed to process on time. My bank notified me of the failure so I made a one-time payment on Monday, XXXX XXXX through Synchrony 's website for {$55.00} dollars. The payment was 1 day late. When the billing cycle ended on XXXX XXXX, Synchrony assessed a fee of {$25.00} for the lateness. This fee seems to have been added to my minimum monthly payment for a new required payment of {$76.00}. I did not notice the increase. 

On XXXX XXXX, my bank processed my regularly scheduled {$55.00} dollar payment. Because it did not meet the new minimum, I was assessed another fee of {$35.00} for lateness. This cycle repeated itself in XXXX, XXXX and XXXX for a total of {$160.00} in fees and a minimum monthly payment for XXXX totaling {$200.00}. Synchrony bank made no reasonable effort to contact me about the delinquency on my account until XXXX when their collections department reached out by phone. I was receiving a regular monthly statement via email but because the payments are automated and were going out as scheduled and because the emails did not mention any problem with my account that would warrant further investigation, I was not aware of the issue. By the time Synchrony called, they had already assessed four months of late payment fees and were seeking a {$200.00} payment to bring my account current. 

While this lack of communication is atrocious customer service on Synchrony 's part, my complaint centers around what I believe to be an instance of illegally pyramiding fees. As I understand our regulatory laws, a credit card company can not apply your payment to a fee first and a minimum monthly payment second so that the amount can not satisfy the minimum monthly requirement and cause the customer to incur yet another fee. Since I continued making on-time payments that satisfied my minimum payment less fees, it seems to me that I should not have incurred additional late fees after XXXX. During this time, no new purchases were charged to the account that would have otherwise affected my balance and minimum monthly payment. The only change that can account for increases to my minimum monthly payments are the fees Synchrony added to my account. 

Please apply your legal expertise in this case. If Synchrony is not in compliance, I seek a refund of all fees incurred after and as a result of the XXXX late fee and a return of my minimum monthly payment to {$50.00}. I have reached out to Synchrony bank and they agreed to remove XXXX the fees but refused to lower my monthly payment for XXXX and could not guarantee that my minimum monthly payment would return to previous levels in XXXX.
