Issue: Managing an account — Deposits and withdrawals
Company: TRUIST FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I deposited a check that I received as payment from a new client on XX/XX/XXXX. This check was put on hold on deposit. Since I have never deposited a check of this amount this did not surprise me. What did surprise me was that when I attempted to use the funds already in my account I was unable to. I was informed that my entire account was under review due to this check. I was advised by a Truist employee in the Fraud department on XX/XX/XXXX that my account would be on review until the check cleared or was returned for any reason and that I would have account access the following business day. The following XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX the check was returned as a stop payment was placed on the check. and every day since I have been calling for an update as my account is now currently still inaccessible. This is also the account that my regular direct deposits are sent to so I have not had access to XXXX of my pay checks since this issue began causing delinquency in my other financial accounts. The only thing I have been told for XXXX weeks is that my account is still under review with no updates from their analyst. Roughly 75 % of my income is in this account and they refuse to give me access to my account, close my account, or provide an estimate for when this will be resolved. The current amount being held is {$600.00} which increases weekly from my direct deposits.

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/2024, I ordered a purse online from XXXX. It was taking a long time to get to me and appeared to be held up by USPS. I contacted XXXX and asked if I could cancel the order. They said " no '' but that I could refuse the package when it arrived ro return to sender. I was not at home when it arrived so I did a return to sender. This can easily be verified by looking at the tracking. 
I started checking my account for refund progress. When the refund wasn't showing up, I started contacting customer service via their contact us/chat feature. I spoke with several reps over the next 2 months who all assured me that they could see where I returned the purse and that my card should be refunded in 3-5 days. It took 2 MONTHS! They finally refunded my card. but because it too so long, I got a late fee added to my card. How can I get a late fee added for a return???? I started contacting customer service again. It took a month to get the late fee removed. 

So they removed the late fee in XXXX but turned me into the credit agencies, causing my score to drop almost XXXX points, going from excellent to good. This is unacceptable. It was a RETURNED item. How can there be a late fee on an item I returned almost as soon as I received it???? There was nothing else charged to the card. That returned item should have been refunded back to my card in a timely manner. XXXX XXXX did not do that, causing a late fee. 

I disputed it, and XXXX denied any wrongdoing. The only conclusion I can come up with is they didn't bother to look into it, because it is obvious, I am not at fault here. Please fix this ASAP. I have had excellent credit for years and I don't want to have to hire a lawyer to get that back. It shouldn't come to that.

Complaint narrative:
Comenity Capital Bank acquired the XXXX XXXX Account from XXXX, which Comenity later named Dell Pay. Upon receiving notice from Comenity, I was unable to use the online portal to even access the account, up to and including to make payments on the account. I contacted the company about this issue after receiving several unsolicited debt collection calls, where I was directed by an associate of Comenity to use " XXXX '' to make the payments on the account. At some point, Comenity claims I made a " cease and desist '', which I did not. I simply instructed Comenity to cease calling my phone number, which is listed on the National Do Not Call Registry. Such calls that were placed were strictly for debt collection, requiring a type of consent that Comenity did not have, when Comenity did not have any consent at all. I have since had my account restricted, not once but twice, wherein Comenity states that I since I do not wish to be contacted by them the account is restricted to my use. Comenity also has reduced the credit limit on the account, without providing an adverse action notice that meets the content requirement applicable for such, namely by not stating four reasons they reduced the limit. Comenity has also further refused to provide a copy of the agreement despite requesting such agreement be sent to me several times through their online access portal. They are represented by Attorney XXXX XXXX, in an arbitration claim. XXXX XXXX states that they will not exchange any documents until some arbitrary hearing in such arbitration. I still have not received a copy of the applicable card agreement as requested. The attached " notice of adverse action '' which was provided by Comenity to me via USPS first class mail, amounts to the credit limit being reduced simply because I didn't mean their scoring requirements. While it lists " factors that impacted my score '', there is absolutely nothing that says anything remotely close to " the reasons for we decreased your credit are : ''.
