Company: TRUIST FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: GA
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Fees or interest
Sub-issue: Unexpected increase in interest rate

Complaint:
I have had a credit card with Truist for years. Recently, Truist has begun charging " interest '' on the card even when there is no past due balance. This month, there was no balance carried over from the previous month and there were no transactions on the card at all. Notwithstanding this fact, Truist charged " interest '' on the account. I contacted customer service and could not get a coherent explanation from anyone about why they were charging interest on a card that had no outstanding balance and no transactions. The customer service representative said that " the system charges it '' and that she had no other information or explanation to offer. I suspect that whatever is going on here is happening to others as well and that Truist is counting on the fact that most people do not want to take the time to investigate or complain. Sounds like a consumer class action waiting to happen.

Complaint:
Someone opened an account FRAUDULENTLY under my social security through their online system. When I received the first letter informing me of my new account I called right away to have it closed and inquire on how someone can open an account with NO IDENTIFICATION!!! IT was not me to open the account and now they will not close it and they will begin to charge me monthly fees! This company should be investigated for 1. Allowing fraud to happen as clearly they have no mechanism in place to verify identity with online account openings. 2. They have been giving me the run around for 4 months- this started in XXXX 3. They will NOT properly close the accounts even though they are NOT mine

Complaint:
My mortgage is through Wells Fargo. I have been an excellent customer for approximately 11 years. I am going through a divorce and contacted WF to advise them I was now a single income household. To try to keep from getting behind on my mortgage I made a partial payment in XX/XX/2017 of {$800.00}. To date the funds have not been applied. I have contacted WF several times asking for the money to be applied or returned to me. I was advised that the money would not be returned to me but would be applied at a later date. It has been 3 months and the funds have still not been applied as a payment. I asked if I could send the remaining payment balance in and include the funds being held to make a full payment and I was advised no, that I had to make payment in full but could not use those funds. I made a full payment as requested but the funds have still not been applied.

Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Managing an account
Sub-issue: Fee problem

Complaint:
I opened a checking with Bank of America in XXXX that was an electronic account that had no monthly fees, as long as all transactions were completed electronically without visiting a bank location. I just recently found out that BoA started charging me monthly fees for this checking account from XX/XX/XXXX until now due to inactivity. To be clear, I honored the original terms of the account by never visiting a bank location. I called BoA on XX/XX/XXXX and was told the monthly checking fees will be refunded once the account is active again. The BoA representative said the account would be active in 2 days. I called XX/XX/XXXX to check whether the account is active and the status of the refund. The BoA representative today told me that BoA could not refund all the monthly fees because the BoA " system '' only allows them to access the past year, so only 12 months of monthly checking account fees could be refunded. The monthly checking fee is {$12.00}.

Sub-product: Credit reporting
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:
On XX/XX/2023 I received a report from all 3 credit bureaus stating XXXX XXXX placed my account into Collections. 
On XX/XX/2023 I Disputed with all three Credit bureaus regarding XXXX XXXX. For starters XXXX XXXX illegally sent my account to collections months before the legal requirement of 180 days. As well as filed and sent me a copy of Form 1099C Cancellation of debt under code [ G ] signifying that all debt has been paid In Full. I sent this evidence to all 3 Credit Bureau and they only changed the status from Collection to Paid In Full/After Charge off. 
I also noticed that the new reportings from the bureaus all had different last payment dates. 
XX/XX/2023 I Disputed again that this account should be closed and Paid in full and not a charge off or collection, and this time the reports status said Open and comments read late on no more then two payments past due. And the last payment made disappeared. 
I then contacted the bureaus and expressed to them that this is a form of Tax fraud from XXXX XXXX because they tried to charge off the car after filing a 1099c to cancel 100 percent of the debt and then try to send me to a collection agency to get more money out of me on top of trying to illegally repossessing my car. I have alerted the IRS of this matter as well.

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2017 debt collector tried to run my credit card for more than they were authorized to run it for. This is a debt for my husband that they called me looking for payment.

When XXXX called me to let me know the payment did n't go through I told her to run it again Friday.

This morning, Friday, I woke to find that at XXXX she tried to run the card for {$270.00}. Not a huge amount but if they are doing this to other people it adds up. She also told me there was no way to pay other than making a payment over the phone. I just went on their website and made a payment using their online system.
