Additionally, Suncoast has ceased to send me Statements since XX/XX/XXXX Legal Grounds for My Claims Pursuant to the following federal laws and regulations, Suncoast is in violation of my consumer rights : 1. Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) - 15 U.S.C. 1666 Under the FCBA, I am entitled to receive monthly billing statements and be informed of all charges and account activity. By ceasing to send these statements, you have violated this statute.

2. Electronic Fund Transfer Act ( EFTA ) - 15 U.S.C. 1693 EFTA requires that I am provided regular access to my account information. Blocking me from managing my accounts online or obtaining statements without justification contravenes this law.

Under TISA, Suncoast must provide full disclosure and access to account statements regarding my checking and savings accounts. Your failure to send me my statements and notify me of any closure is a breach of this act.
