I opened a Truist checking account in XX/XX/2026 under a {$400.00} promotional bonus offer requiring qualifying direct deposits and debit card transactions. On XX/XX/2026, a Truist representative confirmed that I met the promotion requirements. However, another representative later stated that the transactions still needed verification and could not provide a completion date or payout timeline. Truist provides a link to track promotion progress, but the link repeatedly returns a server error and does not work. Because of this, I have no way to confirm my qualification status despite being told I met the requirements. The promotion terms state the bonus will be paid within XXXX weeks after requirements are met, yet Truist has not provided confirmation of my verification date or expected payment date. I am requesting written confirmation of my qualification status, verification completion date, and the expected payout date for the {$400.00} promotional bonus.

I am setup with Text notifications from my bank. Anytime a charge is made, I receive a text message with the amount being charged. I noticed XXXX charges coming through for several $ XXXX, then two {$150.00} transactions. I immediately called Truist the bank and they immediately cancelled the card. Truist refunded the money the next day, then sent a letter, ( received XX/XX/XXXX ) that they are denying the request as they did not find the transaction 's fraudulent. I filed a police report with the XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX Police Department -- Office XXXX-Report # XXXX
This complaint is a continuation of CFPB Complaint No. XXXX which was closed without resolution. Truists XXXX XXXX, 2026 response raises additional concerns because Truist states that it received a request to return the funds, yet it continues to retain the same {$5600.00} without explaining where those funds are being held. I am submitting this additional response regarding Truists XX/XX/XXXX letter concerning the {$5600.00} deposit originally made on XX/XX/XXXX. In its response, Truist states that on XXXX XXXX, 2026, it received a request to return the funds. However, Truist continues to retain the same {$5600.00} and has not explained where those funds are currently being held or why they continue to be withheld. Truist can not continue to retain the funds indefinitely. Truist can not both remove the funds from the maker and continue to hold the same money without providing a lawful explanation.…
I am requesting the immediate release of funds from a closed Truist business account. In XX/XX/XXXX, I reported a fraud incident to my Truist branch where I was the victim. Following the bank 's instructions, I successfully filed IC3 and FBI reports and provided proof to the branch. Truist subsequently closed my business account but allowed me to maintain my personal accounts and mortgage in good standing. For over 18 months, I have received monthly statements showing a consistent positive balance of approximately {$5200.00}. I have made multiple attempts to resolve this internally, including : Contacting the Truist Fraud Resolution department on XX/XX/XXXX. Visiting my local Truist branch in person on XX/XX/XXXX. During my most recent inquiry today ( XX/XX/XXXX ), I was informed that the funds have been moved to an internal recovery account.…
I applied for a mortgage for a home purchase and was initially quoted an application fee of {$590.00}. Shortly after, the lender increased the fee to {$1200.00}, stating the original amount was a system error. On multiple occasions ( XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX ), I was explicitly told via email that the {$590.00} fee would be corrected and honored. Based on these representations, I continued the loan process in good faith and did not pursue alternative lenders. As closing approached, I was informed that the fee would not be adjusted and would remain at {$1200.00}. I raised this issue multiple times and requested that the lender honor their prior written commitments or apply a lender credit to offset the {$650.00} difference. The lender stated they were unable to make any changes due to compliance reasons. I proceeded under the expectation that the agreed-upon fee would be honored, but the lender failed to follow through on their repeated assurances.…

my card was stolen but i use tap to pay on my phone so i didnt notice right away. once i did notice i checked my transaction history to see {$1800.00} in fraudulent charges. once i noticed them i cancelled my card and filed a dispute. they denied my claim because they said the charges happened before my card was reported stolen.. i told them they were fraudulent and they asked for proof. i sent the proof to which they denied it again and closed the investigation. they then said if i filed a police report that they could reopen the investigation. when i filed a police report i called them to give them the report ID number and they said since it had already been investigated twice that they wouldnt do anything for it. i cancelled my card, sent them proof, and filed a police report. and they have been consistently denying me and i dont know what else to do. if it was a smaller amount, i could let it go but this is $ XXXX in fraudulent charges.
I am writing to formally request debt validation for a collection account mentioned in a letter I recently received. Under my rights through the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), I ask that your office provide clear proof that the debt is valid. This should include the name of the original creditor, the amount owed, a full payment record, and proof that I am responsible for this debt. I am making this request to ensure the information being reported is accurate and not the result of a mistake, fraud, or confusion. While waiting for proper validation, I ask that you pause all collection activity and reporting related to this account, as allowed by law.
Complaint Against Truist Bank Returned Check Funds Not Received I am filing a complaint regarding a check deposit and return issue involving Truist Bank. On XX/XX/year>, I deposited a check issued by my employer into my account at Truist Bank. The check was drawn from a XXXX XXXX XXXX account. XXXX XXXX XXXX provides me with the letter that evidences the check has already been successfully processed/cleared. However, on or around XX/XX/year>, Truist Bank returned the deposited funds. As of today, XXXX XXXX XXXX has not received any returned funds related to this transaction. This situation has caused confusion and concern, as the funds appear to be missing in the transit returning process within Truist Bank. Additionally, Truist Bank has asked me to complete and sign an Affidavit of Fraud without providing a clear explanation or justification. This is concerning because : - The check was issued by my boss as part of a legitimate transaction.…
I opened the Truist business account XX/XX/XXXX using the promotion code XXXX. I made the required direct deposit of {$2000.00} well before the required time of 30 days. The fine print for Truist Offer Eligibility : You must be a new Truist business checking client.

Dear Truist Credit Card Disputes Department, I am writing regarding claim number XXXX, which has now been denied again. I am extremely disappointed and frustrated by XXXX handling of this matter. This dispute involves a business credit card transaction for services not rendered. The merchant, XXXX XXXX XXXX, accepted payment for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX that was to be completed over several months, with delivery expected in XXXX XXXX. Because of that agreed timeline, it would have been impossible for me to know within 60 days of the original XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX transactions that the services would not be delivered. Despite this, Truist has continued to deny my claim solely based on the date the dispute was filed, while refusing to fully investigate the actual issue : the merchant failed to provide the contracted services.…
I am disputing my auto lenders claim that I am XXXX months behind on my vehicle payments. My car note is due on the last day of every month. I called Regional Acceptance the morning of XX/XX/year> about a charge i noticed on my account. They informed me that it was a late fee. I was unaware of a late fee, however I paid my entire car note ( XXXX ) that day. The next morning, XX/XX/year>, i received another message to give them a call. Before I called back, I checked my banking app and it now said I owe about 3 months of payments. They allege that the charges were reversed. I have documentation showing that the disputed payments were successfully withdrawn from my bank account. The lender claims the payments were reversed ; however, my bank has confirmed that no reversal funds were returned and no ACH reversal occurred. I requested documentation supporting the alleged reversals, including ACH trace information and return codes, but the lender has not provided sufficient proof.…
I filed a complaint with you previously, because I lost access ( username and password ) to my Truist Bank mortgage account. To complicate matters, I also retired in XXXX, no longer maintaining a US phone. Truist finally called me on my Italian number XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX, immediately insisting I verify my identity by providing information from the Truist app and/or website! It is as if they did not even read my complaint, that I could not access the app or website! Also, remember, They called Me! They then spent an hour going in circles, first insisting on verifying me, even though THEY CALLED ME! Worse, the verification required me to PROVIDE INFORMATION FROM THE WEBSITE! Recall, this complaint began because I could not get access to the website! They then said I must register for internet banking, which also first requires me to access the website first. It goes around and around endlessly.…
I went to open a bank account with XXXX XXXX and I was denied. When I inquired about why I was denied the bank attendant told me that he don't know why. Upon doing my own investigation I obtained my XXXX XXXX report and saw that I had a checking account fraud placement from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Incident date XX/XX/year> that I'm not familiar with. That information that was/is being reported is not completely accurate per the FCRA. I am a single father who needs his bank account to receive funds to take care and provide for my family. This denial hinders me from caring for my family. Failure to remove this information will result in me seeking legal remedies.
I am filing a complaint regarding repeated overdraft fees assessed by my bank, Truist Financial Corporation, including multiple fees applied during the same occurrence and concerns about account settings. On XX/XX/XXXX, I was charged multiple overdraft fees at the same time. This issue occurred again on XX/XX/XXXX, when I was charged {$72.00} in overdraft fees from multiple transactions processed together. This is now the third time I have been charged more than one overdraft fee in a single occurrence. In total, I have been charged seven overdraft fees over the past year, totaling {$250.00}, including additional fees in XXXX, XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX. Several of these fees were assessed on the same day, which I believe is excessive and unfair, particularly when the account was already overdrawn. Additionally, I previously enabled overdraft protection and text alerts to help prevent this situation.…
b'I am disputing a $XXXX transaction with XXXX XXXX XXXX for services not rendered. This is a case of fraudulent inducement where the merchant utilized \'lulling\' tacticsspecifically monthly deceptive email updatesto prevent me from discovering the fraud until recently.\n\nI have provided Truist with an extensive evidence packet (delivered via XXXX Tracking #XXXX XXXX XXXX on XXXX) and have active cases with the Florida Attorney General and the XXXX. Despite this, Truist has denied Case #XXXX and Escalation #XXXX for the \'same reason\' without, I believe, performing a \'reasonable investigation\' of the new physical evidence as required by Regulation E.\n\nThe bank has failed to address the merchant\'s lulling tactics and is ignoring federal error resolution requirements.…
I am submitting this complaint regarding the inaccurate reporting of my account. The reported information contains errors that do not accurately reflect my payment history. I have been a responsible payer, and the negative remarks on my account are incorrect. Under 15 U.S. Code 1666b, creditors are required to promptly correct billing errors. Additionally, under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( 7 ), I am entitled to a full description of the reinvestigation procedure conducted regarding my dispute. As a consumer, I request to know all the steps the agency took to ensure the accuracy of the reported information before it was added to my credit report. Despite my efforts to dispute this matter directly with the reporting agency, I have not received adequate verification or resolution.
On XX/XX/XXXX, two Solar salesmen did a in- home visit in my home. They were door-to- door salespersons for XXXX. After I called XXXX XXXX XXXX, I didn't meet in person or by phone calls any representative to discuss or sign any documents, neither Installment or Loan Contracts or Notice of Commencement for work to begin. Ninety days later, I received call for Service Finance informing me that my first installment was due. This was the first time I had heard of this company and my obligations of a loan being approved and applied for. For 2.5 years, I have sent payment out of fear, because I was told that the solar equipment was installed and wouldn't be repossessed as I requested. And that a Lien would be enforced if I didn't pay the installments. Recently, I contacted both XXXX and Service on XX/XX/XXXX, by sending. a Certified Mail Demand Letter, with requested Return Receipt for the malfunctioning installed and financed solar system. Because of high utility energy bills.…

I open a truist account with the promo code. They stated that no promo code was entered but when you go through the application process it automatically applies the promo code. So it's completely false. They said that I'm in illegible and I believe that they are using fraud and systematically set up their online process to not save the promo code or attach the promo code to the new bank account. A scheme to just get you to open a new bank account and not pay you the bonus that they promise or advertise.
I am having issues with Truist Bank and a XXXX debit card dispute and trying to get a resolution. My XXXX Debit card was link to my XXXX account through my XXXX so anything charge through XXXX would be automatically charged to my debit card On XX/XX/26, I was shopping and accidently left my XXXX in a shopping cart at XXXX, I returned a few hours later to see if my phone was found and turned in which it was not and not able to be located.

A bill payment of {$660.00} was supposed to be pulled from my account on XX/XX/XXXX but there was not enough money in my account, so I used a different form of payment to pay the {$660.00}. Then on XX/XX/XXXX when I go login to my Truist account I see that they authorized a payment of {$660.00} to the same company when at the time my account only had {$400.00}. Based on the account type I have with Truist my account is never supposed to overdraft so that {$660.00} should not have been allowed to be processed on my account. Now my account is negative {$260.00} and Im without any money because Ive since paid my bills twice. However, I reached out to the company I paid and they informed me I had to take it up with my financial institution, which I did and Truist denied my dispute stating I need to reschedule out to the merchant because Ive done business with them in the past. Me doing business with them shouldnt matter because I showed proof that they were paid already.…
I opened a new checking account with Truist in XX/XX/XXXX based on a promotional bonus offer. I followed all stated requirements, including using the promotional link/code during application, completing more than XXXX debit card transactions, and setting up qualifying payroll direct deposit exceeding the required amount. I completed all qualifying transactions well within the required XXXX window and have kept my account active since opening. Today, XX/XX/XXXX, I contacted Truist regarding the missing bonus. I was informed that there is either no promotional code associated with my account or that the code used was expired, and I was asked to provide a saved promo code as proof. I did not retain a separate record of the code, as it was entered during the online application process. I believe I met all eligibility requirements and request a review of my account activity and the original promotional terms to determine my qualification for the bonus.
I am filing a complaint against Truist regarding what I believe to be an improper extended hold placed on a check deposit in violation of Regulation CC. On Sunday, XX/XX/XXXX, I deposited a {$400.00} mobile check from a XXXX XXXX refund. When I called the next day to ask about the 7 day hold, I was informed that the funds would be available within 1-2 days. However, after waiting the check was still placed on a 7-day hold without proper justification. I was told the hold was due to repeated overdrafts. This is inaccurate. My account has only been overdrawn for 3 days, which does not meet the Regulation CC threshold of 6 or more days required to classify an account as repeatedly overdrawn. I was also told that my account was considered new because it is less than two years old. This is inconsistent with Regulation CC, which defines a new account as one open for less than 30 days.…

Then I received another text from the XXXX XXXX stating that the purchase did not go through. However, when I checked my Truist account online, the {$1700.00} was withdrawn anyway. Truist then sent me documents to fill out explaining the situation, which I quickly filled out and mailed back the next day.…
Formal Complaint : Gross Negligence, Willful Delay of Fund Recovery, and Malpractice Regarding {$110000.00} Incident Description : I am filing this complaint against Truist Bank for its appalling negligence and willful obstruction in recovering my missing {$110000.00} On XX/XX/2026, I wired {$110000.00} to a XXXX XXXX customer. On XX/XX/XXXX, after being informed the funds were refused, I immediately and repeatedly requested Truist to initiate a XXXX XXXX.

This is a follow-up to Complaint # XXXX. Attached are bank records supporting the original claim of misapplied payments and failure to reconcile the loan. I am submitting this as a follow-up to my prior complaint regarding mortgage servicing errors involving Truist related to misapplied payments, improper payment reversals, and an incorrect default status following a servicing transfer from XXXX XXXX. Since filing my original complaint, I have obtained bank records from XXXX XXXX XXXX confirming consistent mortgage payments made to both XXXX XXXX and Truist. These records demonstrate a continuous payment history and support our concern that payments were misapplied, reversed, or not properly reconciled during and after the servicing transfer. The attached documentation reflects a clear pattern of payments over time, including payments made directly to Truist following the transfer, yet the account has been placed into default status as of XX/XX/year>.…
My debit card has fraud charges from XX/XX/XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX. I discovered this on XX/XX/XXXX. I reported this to Truist on XX/XX/XXXX. I have provided all requested documents. I was refunded for XXXX transactions in the amount of {$110.00} on XX/XX/XXXX. The fraud department with Truist is now denying the remaining transactions for not being within the 60 day report which is untrue. The balance owed to me from the fraud charges is {$3300.00} These charges are fraud and I did file the claim within days of the charges.
