I never received a letter from the bank until XX/XX/2019. This letter dated on XX/XX/2019 stated that my combined relationship balance fell below {$10000.00}. This conclusion was far from true. Actually my combined relationship balance was EXCEED {$10000.00} and was linked with a small business check account. According to SunTrust personal advantage checking account fee schedule : Avoiding monthly maintenance fee section - Maintain a Total Combined Relationship Balance of {$10000.00} or more linked across deposits OR Have a linked Small Business Checking Account. As I stated before I qualify both requirements. However this bank continue conduct criminal activities to deduct a second $ XXXX  monthly maintenance fee from the same account ending in XXXX on XX/XX/2019 stating it's XX/XX/2019 monthly maintenance fee. In early XX/XX/2019 SunTrust credit back one of the fee {$20.00}. I don't know why SunTrust continue to repeat same error which I seriously can't accept at all. See attached Avoiding monthly maintenance fee Schedule and SunTrust Response Letter on XX/XX/2019. At this time, since I already reported this criminal activities to the DC dispatch XXXX to ask Police Report, I am asking prosecution towards this banking perpetrator who repeatedly and illegally deduct money from my personal checking account. I also filed a claim to ask at least {$25000.00} damages toward this repeated threat to Consumer.

On XX/XX/XXXX, I spoke with XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion representatives concerning the potential of bogus accounts being made using my customer data. I implored everyone to delete these accounts since I had no idea how they got there. All three companies advised me on how to keep track of things and fill out an FTC form. On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent my information by ordinary mail. Even though I had filed my letters more than 30 days before since they had been " verified, '' the accounts that were not mine were still shown in my paperwork. This situation bothers and irritates me since it inhibits my family and me from purchasing a property. On XX/XX/XXXX, I contacted the three firms again to see how they could prove that these accounts belonged to me. They suggested me to speak with the debt collectors directly since they indicated there wasn't much else they could do to help me. Every bank that the client called at the same time and referred to me had been phoned incorrectly ; they had no idea who I was or what the accounts were about. An online check was conducted to ensure that I was not mistaken. My buddies advised me to visit the CFPB website. I'm hoping this works since my family and I need need the house we're attempting to buy.
