Issue: Problem with a lender or other company charging your account
Sub-issue: Transaction was not authorized

Complaint:
This is the 2nd time I have had fraudulent activities on my account. I called the customer service # when I seen the charge on XX/XX/22. I have nor used XXXX or XXXX or purchased any of their products. They let someone purchase {$62.00} from XXXX on my account fraudulently then told me there was nothing they could do to stop the payment because it was already cleared on the banks side it has posted already he said. Then he said the only way to file or lodge a fraudulent case was to let the merchant go ahead and take the payment. He also said i had to call back in to make the fraudulent case...? Isn't that what I'm doing now? He said there was a phone number on the merchant information. When I asked if we could call the number together, he also stated that it could be a fraudulent # he said I could do it on my own time at my own risk but they could not risk the bank? What the XXXX? It's my XXXX money!!!!! This is the 2nd time I have had to cancel my bank cards,2nd time this has happened with Truist. So now I have no access to my money AGAIN because they are placing a hold on my card AGAIN to prevent any other fraudulent activities. Makes no sense right? so I am very upset that I have to go through this again. I work XXXX everyday I do not have time to go get a temporary card from the closest branch. They are my financial institution is their job to make sure this does not happen. I'm super disgusted by this. My future with this bank in up in the air. I can not trust them to make sound judgements with my money. They'll let any XXXX, XXXX, or XXXX charge anything to my acct.

Company: HSBC NORTH AMERICA HOLDINGS INC.
State: TX
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Closing an account
Sub-issue: Company closed your account

Complaint:
The situation actually started with my XXXX XXXX XXXX MC,  whereby I noticed my credit line was reduced from XXXX to {$0.00}. I contacted the call center on XXXX XXXX and the associate told me to contact Fraud on Monday. I called on Monday and Fraud stated they don't handle it. Basically I have had the run around and have called on numerous occasions to find out why my credit card was closed.Nobody could answer my question. They would place me on hold for long periods. I was advised that I would get follow-up calls and only one of the agents actually called me back. Again with no idea as to why my account, which is recently opened was closed. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received two letters from HSBC USA one stated that my credit card was closed ( which I already knew ). and another with my XXXX checking account being closed. There was no specific reason given in the letter. As a result, I called again. The associate and a manager could not tell me the. reason why, I have been on the phone with HSBC USA since I opened my accounts in XXXX ( checking ) and XXXX ( credit card ) for countless hours to verify account information and for them to research my accounts. I haven't had any negative activity on my accounts or reason for my accounts to be closed. I have never had a bank take me through the wringer like this. This has been a nightmare. I feel humiliated that a banking institution would treat a new customer like trash. This is one of the worst customer service experiences I've had.

Complaint:
In accordance with Fair Credit Act, everything has to be 100 % accurate on my credit report. The credit bureaus said my accounts were properly investigate ; however, there are many inaccuracies such as date opened, number of months ( term ), payment status, and last reported date. This is grounds for removal and they have also violated my rights under 15 U.S. Code 1681. 


I reviewed my Consumer Reports and noticed that there was an inaccurate account ( s ) on my credit report : XXXX Acct # XXXX ... Consumer Reporting Agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report Consumer Information to the best of the ability with maximum accuracy. I contacted " Experian, XXXX, and XXXX " asked for them to investigate & remove the inaccurate account from my consumer report that they are illegally reporting and I requested specifically the alleged original application bearing my signature and they have not been able to provide such proof to me. This is a violation of Fair Credit Reporting Act, and these disputed items may not appear on my credit report if they can't be verified by any evidence or proof.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: NY
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Closing an account
Sub-issue: Funds not received from closed account

Complaint:
Original Complaint : Citibank suddenly suspended my account. I have no issue with it. But the problem is my remaining balance. They said they would deliver an account closing letter for me but I never received it. I only got an email that they sent me an e-letter to my Citibank app, but since they had closed my account, I can not log in to the Citibank app anymore, so there is no way for me to check the account closing letter. I called the XXXX many times but all of them can not fix the problem, even can not give me a clear solution where or how to collect my remaining balance in the account. Before there was a CS told me that I could collect the balance in any branch, but when I went there, I was told that they still have to wait for the XXXX department to decide. Such poor internal communication and Wasted my time. Please be professional and send me the remaining balance by bank cheque ASAP. Thanks. 

I also submitted the above complaint via XXXX on XX/XX/2021 ( Ref no : XXXX ). I got a reply from Citi bank on XX/XX/XXXX via XXXX, within that letter CitiBank mentioned : 'If we close your account, we will send you a check for your final balance '', and also said that they need XXXX business days to process it. 

Well, more half-year has passed. I still haven't received any check for my remaining balance. I called the CS a week ago but was told : 'Sorry we just returned all your remaining balance to the original payer '! 

I am so shocked. How can a bank just remove my legal assets without any advanced explanation or investigation? How can we trust the bank then? 
Even if it has any recall from anyone, at least the bank should let me know which payment has a problem, so that I can contact the payer to explain or provide the related evidence.

Company: SUNTRUST BANKS, INC.
State: FL
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: VA mortgage
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint:
We sold our home. During the closing process, our title attorney requested, and received, a payoff letter from Suntrust Mortgage. On receiving this letter, he noted that there was a typo in the through date provided at the start of the letter, but not in the terms listed at the bottom. Given the nature of the transaction, he verified with Suntrust that the payoff amount was correct and the typo would not effect the closing of our home. Suntrust Mortgage assured him that the payoff amount stated in their letter was correct and nothing would hold up the closing of our home. Our attorney verified this on at least 3 occasions, and so we proceeded with the closing and paid Suntrust in full according to the payoff quote Suntrust had given us. 

The next day, our title attorney contacted us stating that Suntrust was demanding an additional XXXX dollars. As we had been assured on several occasions that the payoff was correct and our attorney seemed unclear on why, exactly, Suntrust was requesting additional money, we called Suntrust Mortgage to speak to a representative about this request. After several hours of back and forth and general confusion, we were told this XXXX discrepancy was due to the typo that we were assured would not be an issue. 

After another few hours of explaining this situation over and over to different reps, all who seemed unable or unwilling to forward us to their legal department to dispute this and, instead, continued to inform us that this money was owed because of a typo that we were fully and excruciatingly aware of at this point, we were informed that Suntrust was very sorry that they had made this mistake no less than 4 times over the period of a month but they are issuing a new payoff quote. 

They have yet to issue a new payoff or, in accordance with their own terms also set forth on the initial payoff quote, refunded the over {$100000.00} paid to them so that we can issue them another check. Until this matter is resolved, we can not close on our new home.
