Snapshot : On XX/XX/XXXX, I deposited a tax refund check into my essential checking account in the amount of {$1000.00}. SunTrust has wrongfully withheld the funds that were deposited into my account. I have never had any debt with SunTrust nor have I accrued any fees associated with this bank. As of date, SunTrust has not issued the funds that remained in my account before they abruptly closed the account due to a 4D code. SunTrust has not attempted to verify the authenticity of the deposited check by contacting the IRS- whom issued the tax refund check. Between XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, I have contacted SunTrust on numerous occasions and no one has provided information as to why I have been treated so poorly. Because of the negligence of SunTrust, I was unable to provide transportation to go to work, which was the purpose of the deposited check. Because of SunTrust, I lost my job. Furthermore, in XX/XX/XXXX, SunTrust notified me that my information was compromised. As a result, unauthorized accounts have been opened and unpaid which has severely lowered my credit score. As a loyal customer, SunTrust has no right to withhold my earnings. I have been wrongly treated by SunTrust as a human being and a customer. And because of this, i have now contacted a lawyer.

The branch manager was also unaware as to how to resolve the matter. Because of this I also placed another complaint with the XXXX number for SunTrust. The representative was extremely rude and uncourteous.
