Company: TRUIST FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I deposited 4 stipend checks on XX/XX/XXXX from my school. The next day the funds were available but then a hold was placed on the checks. I received an email stating the funds would not be available until XX/XX/XXXX. I called Truist customer service to have them explain to me why the funds were available in my account but then a hold was placed after. The representative stated that the branch was the one who put the hold on the account. I explained to her that the hold was placed at XXXX XXXX. but the branch doesn't open until XXXX XXXX. so how could the branch put the hold when they weren't even open when the hold was placed? I requested a supervisor and was on hold for approximately 20 minutes before being transferred. I explained to him what was going on and he was not very nice about the situation. He told me the system automatically put the hold on the checks because they looked " suspicious ''. I asked him what they had found and what looked suspicious about the checks since it came from a large corporation that services many colleges throughout the US. He responded with " nothing so far ''. He asked if I wanted to make a complaint and I told him I would like to. I have bills that are due on the 1st so I can't wait until they " review '' the checks a week later before they release the funds. They have been very unprofessional and seems like they read from a script when a question is asked. When I orginally asked to speak to a supervisor the rep responded with " they're going to tell you the same thing I did. '' Regardless, I asked to speak to a supervisor so transfer me.

Company: Netspend Corporation

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX a XXXX. I received a message from my bank saying that there was a problem with my account and to please call XXXX ( Netspend ). I did this, but when I was ran through the phone matrix and type in my account number, they said that a card with that number did not exist, and immediately tried to login to my online access. My password and code did not work. Ive tried to call these folks several times, and they always drop my calls. I've talked to countless people and they are railroading me. It's as if I do not have an account. My email, my social security number are not on file, and they have wiped my account clean. I'm not sure if someone hacked my account stole my money, and changed all the information, but the banks customer service is not helping resolve the situation. I really need someone's help, there is no way I'm the only one having this issue. It feels like a foreign criminal organization is up too something. Please help. This bank stole all my money XXXX. This specific transaction, was electronic transfer from my bank to another bank ( both banks are owned by the same company ). I do not have a specific time but on XX/XX/XXXX a transaction was made in the amount of XXXX to a account ending in XXXX ( this information was given to me from customer service ). This transfer was not me but was all my money. I keep calling customer service and they either hang up, or they just run me around. They keep saying they are sending me a link to change my password but it never shows up. I've verified all my information with their representatives but the email never shows. The automated call matrix doesn't recognize my account number or social security number, the customer service acts like they are verifying my information but it's like they are not really sending me an email. Something is not right, I'm confused as to what to do.
