Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Issue: Closing an account — Company closed your account
Company: TRUIST FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally file a complaint against Truist Bank regarding a severe security breach that occurred with my account. In XXXX, they allowed a family member to access my account without my knowledge or consent by permitting this family member to acquire a credit card using my name and SSN ( credit card picture attached ). The bank never notified me to verify whether this action was done with or without my permission. Subsequently, this led to my family member being added to my account without my authorization. I discovered this when I ordered new checks ( picture of deposit slip attached ) around XXXX and found her name alongside mine on them. This negligence ultimately resulted in the unauthorized closure of my account by that family member and their associate this past XXXX. 



The unauthorized closure of my account happened when this family member told her accomplice that she opened my account for me, as it's what she believed, which prompted him into talking her into closing my account with him as he's her power of attorney. I am providing documentation to show that I opened that account in XXXX with my first paycheck at that current place of employment to demonstrate that the only person I added to my account other than me was my father, who had passed away months earlier, which should speak volumes in and of itself. 



While there was no money in my Truist account at the time, I had funds in another account at a different institution, which I was about to transfer to my Truist account for bill payments ( document provided ). Truist 's failure to notify me of this security breach put my account at risk and could potentially affect others as well. I urge Truist to acknowledge their negligence and implement better training for their associates to prevent such instances of covert manipulation. With the rise of entitlement growing in our country and people believing that they can do whatever it is they want without any repercussions, such institutions must put into place better security measures and better training to prevent this from happening to anyone else. 



All documentation should be attached, if you need anything else please call ( no text please ) XXXX or email me as it's the best form of communication. 



Thank You, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion data breach.
