Complaint narrative:
I am being charged a {$20.00} maintenance each month and Ive continuously been given misinformation on how to avoid this fee. I was initially told by several employees that a direct deposit of $ XXXX would allow me to avoid this fee, which I did. After still being charged, I reached out to Truist and was informed I had to direct deposit $ XXXX. Ive since increased my monthly direct deposit to {$3000.00} and am still being charged. Ive asked several times for a fee schedule and am being told it doesnt exist. At this point, I can only assume Truist is intentionally misinforming consumers to charge additional fees.
