Company: TRUIST FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I deposited my paycheck from my employer as usual through suntrusts mobile check deposit app feature. The check was received by the service and I was told the check was put on a hold, for what I thought was the weekend due to them being closed but in reality ended up being something completely unexpected. Without being notified in any way my account was closed/ frozen. The reason they gave me was fraud even though there was nothing fraudulent with the account or the check deposited as all my coworkers checks deposited through their respective banks with no issue. What can be done about this? as it is apparent I am not the first to have an issue of this kind. Locking off peoples access to their funds is serious and the way they have responded to any complaints or questions is sickening. When called they are quick to say they are not obligated to tell me anything about what is going on and that my local branch cant help me. And next say they are going to determine if THEY think I should get MY money through their investigation that will take about 15 days. This bank is making interest off of the money of people who can no longer afford to pay their bills or rent. This is plain disgusting. My employer has told me that the check cleared on his end so he does not need to give me that money which was called fraudulent so if suntrust decides to keep it that is plain and simple theft
