Complaint: Searching to get a pitbull puppy on a private facebook page account. We selected a puppy and the guy said he wanted half up front and half later to get the dog for a deposit. We did not think this was going to be a scam because he knew so much about these dogs and he was on a XXXX account. We sent him {$350.00} on a mobile XXXX pay app. He deleted everything and his page and the site. We emailed SunTrust Bank right away for fraud and scam. They said there was no error on this case XX/XX/19. This was a complete scam and we trusted the XXXX page account since it was a private group. The transaction occured on XX/XX/19 for {$350.00} with a name of XXXX XXXX using our bank debit card. Please help us get our money back. This hurt us.

Trouble during payment process

Mortgage: Conventional home mortgage

Complaint: Had a mortgage with Sun Trust. We would make payments and they would cash our checks, however they would not apply our payments to our loan, they would put it in what they called unapplied. They would in return mail us a check back drawn on their bank. We would have to deposit the check into our account and send them another one. They would apply that one to our loan however, they would charge us a late fee and reported it as late. We have made numerous calls to Sun Trust and requested them to look in to this. They said that they did but would not remove it from my credit report. I feel that this is borderline a deliberate act from Sun Trust.

Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Complaint: This is a complaint against SUNTRUST XXXX. The reason why I am writing this complaint is because on my XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX credit report on XX/XX/2019. This enquiry was not authorized by me, this was done under fraud. I will brief, I am victim of identity theft and in this complaint I will submit all the documents necessary to verify that this enquiry was not done by my person. For the past couple years i have been victim of identity theft, and these false enquiries have been popping up on my credit report. When this specific enquiry happened I wasn't even in the U.S. when this happened. I am bringing this to the attention of the CFPB because when I tried to requested directly with the credit agencies and their response was that I had to do it directly with the companies that I asked them from. The most alarming thing is that hopefully no fraudulent accounts were

Overdrafts and overdraft fees
Complaint: I made payment arrangements on XX/XX/2019 with XXXX regarding a bill for {$30.00} a month beginning on XX/XX/2019 auto-pay for an outstanding debt. I received an alert on or about XXXX XXXX that my account was overdrawn. I contacted XXXX who advised me there was a glitch in the system that they do not know why the system somehow changed the due date which was to begin on XXXX XXXX.I asked XXXX to stop auto-pay that I would pay in person from now on. I then contacted SunTrust and filed a claim and asked SunTrust to stop future payments to XXXX that I ask they stop auto-pay. SunTrust filed the claim XXXX and SunTrust denied the claim stating services was rendered. I ask to rebut and sent additional information which was denied. SunTrust claims that XXXX sent documentation, but SunTrust did not forward the documents to me during the process nor after I requested it.In the rebuttal I told SunTrust the issues is not the service it was the fact that the merchant withdrew funds on a date that was not originally agreed on. Withdrawal of funds before the agreement date is one of the reasons SunTrust offered for a reason to dispute a charge. I do not see on my account that XXXX was actually paid anything from the overdrawn account, but I see an overdraft charge. I have two issues one XXXX debiting my account on a date note agreed on and SunTrust not paying XXXX and charging me an overdraft fee.

Trouble during payment process

Mortgage: VA mortgage

Complaint: I purchased my current home in 2014. My bank sold the servicing of my mortgage to Suntrust Bank. Up until approximately 6 months ago, we've had no issues with Suntrust. Then, approximately 6 months ago, Suntrust " informed '' us that our escrow amount would be going up based on their internal assessment. They are requesting an additional {$200.00} per month on top of my existing principle, tax and insurance payment. I've discussed this increase with my insurance company and our local assessor 's office and there have been no changes that warrant {$200.00} per month. In fact, in years past we've received refunds for overages in escrow account. I've called Suntrust of several occasions attempting to resolve this issue, but have been told that the increase was " calculated '' by their escrow team and that there was nothing anyone could do about it.
