Complaint:
I received an unsolicited Visa debit card in the mail at my home. The card also misspelled my last name so likely fraud is involved either with a third party or US Bank not vetting their databases. I tried contacting US Bank via the website and toll free numbers on the form/card and can not reach anyone directly. The number/email are strictly for card activation. If my credit has been run without my authorization I will be taking action.

Company: TRUIST FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: MD
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Opening an account
Sub-issue: Didn't receive terms that were advertised

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2020, I opened an online checking and savings account with SunTrust Bank. Over the next 2 weeks, I funded the account with XXXX checking/XXXX  saving. On Thursday, XX/XX/XXXX, as I went online to make sure a funds transfer arrived, I found out I was locked out of my online account. I called SunTrust and they said something about my account was " pending closing '' for unknown reason. I then went out and took an XXXX to a SunTrust Bank, which was closed, so I was forced to stand at the drive through for service. I attempted to withdraw my money from my account and was told I could not. SunTrust had my money and wasn't giving me a XXXX until they got ready. 

I then called SunTrust over the next few days, trying to find out what was going on. When I figured out that they had decided to close my account and block access to my money without notice, I became outraged. They acted like the money was theirs. They had not told me that this could happen when I opened the account online. I would have never put {$1000.00} in these accounts had I known the account could be closed and money inaccessible for weeks. Furthermore, they showed little concern about whether I needed that money to pay bills or buy medicine. They just locked me out of my account and said " wait for us to send you your money back. '' On Tuesday, XX/XX/XXXX I finally received a notice by email that my account was being closed. They could have done that last week. As a joke, they invited me to access my account online for " special notices. '' Of course since they had locked me out of my online account, I couldn't do that either. I made 2 more phone calls to SunTrust where I kept asking them why did they block access to my money without notice. They had no explanation, except to say " too bad, so sorry and the check is on the way. '' Right. Humiliating, frustrating, inexcusable? Yes. I still don't know why they closed the account, but will never deal with them again. But the worst thing was blocking access to my money for more than a week. It may be a small matter to them, but to regular folk who need their money it creates a crisis. 

Please investigate SunTrust 's practices of providing written notices to folks who open online accounts of what happens when the account is declined, and their practices of blocking access to money in an account for weeks that they have decided to close.

I do not recall giving anyone at your company permission to pull my credit. I have not applied for credit with your company. Please respond and include a copy of the application with my signature giving you permission to pull my credit, as per the FCRA. The application must state that I agree to give your company permission to pull my credit report. If you do not have an application with my name and signature on file, you are required by law to immediately contact the credit bureaus and remove the hard inquiry from my credit file. If you argue that the approval was given over the phone, then I expect a print out of the full details of the conversation be sent to me, as well. If you argue permission was given through an other company I expect you to provide documentation of that too. I have attached a FTC advisory opinion as to what is considered permissible purpose and what is considered " written instructions '' that are required by the FCRA. I request you provide documentation to meet this criteria. https : //www.ftc.govXXXX
