Trouble during payment process

Mortgage: Conventional home mortgage

Complaint: Since XX/XX/2019 we have been trying to get SunTrust Mortgage to release our insurance funds from Hurricane Michael. After weekly calls we are continuing to get different stories and different instructions. They have stalled to the point we are paying our contractors out of our pocket. To date this amount is close to {$50000.00}. We have submitted checks that clearly show the out of pocket expenses and still no reimbursement. First they said schedule a Inspection so we did. After 2 weeks we called back to find out when inspectors were coming to be a told the Inspection had been canceled due to not being able to contact us. They rescheduled Inspection and a week later we called to find out it was again canceled. At this point after checking both of our phones I responded I would go to XXXX to pull our phone records and prove fraud on their part. A lady contacted me the next day for Inspection. The following day the lady showed up with her children along to do Inspection. This was almost 2 weeks ago. The day after the Inspection we received an email stating the inspector had canceled the Inspection. Even though the Inspection had been completed the day before.

Trouble during payment process

Mortgage: Conventional home mortgage

Complaint: Hurricane Florance. SunTrust Mortgage offered us a 6 month deferment of payments due to our being desplaced from our home. Our agreement on the phone was simply to have the payments added to the end of the payment schedule for the existing loan. On month 7 we tried to make a payment and the bank took the payment but we later received paperwork from the bank for re-structuring our loan. A thing we did not want to do. It was explained over the phone that this was the way it had to be. We signed the paperwork and returned it per the instructions. The payment we made on month 7 was not credited to the loan but put into a holding place until the re-structuring was complete and we were told not to make any more payments until the restructuring was complete. We were not informed of that when we made the payment. The restructuring will include a new interest rate. Today we get a foreclosure notice if we don't pay the past months payments as well as fees, attorney fees, and late fees. We need your help to fight this company trying to take our home unlawfully. They won't take payments but they want payments. What they say on the phone is not backed up with what they mail to us. We are living in our home now.

Fraud or scam

Money transfer, virtual currency, or money service: Domestic (US) money transfer

Complaint: On XX/XX/2018, I received wire instructions by email, from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, an XXXX real estate law firm with wire instructions to Sun Trust Bank. It should be noted the State of Georgia requires all real estate closing to be funded by wire transfer. This way the legal firm, broker, real estate agent and seller receive their funds immediately, while the buyer has no protection under Regulation E. The day of closing I was informed they had not received the wire. The wire instructions, I received from XXXX XXXX XXXX, did list the account number and amount needed for closing, but the account number on the form belonged to a fraudulent account opened by XXXX XXXX. I had conversations with the Fraud Department of Sun Trust Bank. I was informed the account was being monitored for fraud and I would get my {$79000.00}. I received information about the two branches involved. Then, I was told I am not a customer of Sun Trust Bank and all communications stopped. I wanted to review their account opening processes and training. I believe they were negligent in this area resulting in funds being misdirected at my expense. Notes are attached.

Trouble during payment process

Mortgage: Conventional home mortgage

Complaint: Have a mortgage through SunTrust. This mortgage is paid by a direct draw from my bank account. XX/XX/XXXX to XXXX XXXX- I changed the bank account for draw. Was drawing from NC XXXX XXXX 's XXXX XXXX. Now using XXXX. This change took 3 phone calls totaling over 8 hours. XXXX XXXX- SunTrust draws mortgage payments from both accounts. I am confused on timing of old and new draws, so I think this may be appropriate. XXXX draw XXXX for {$1400.00}, XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX for {$1500.00}. XXXX XXXX- Email from SunTrust that NC XXXX account is to be charged {$1500.00} in XXXX. This is the old account. Call SunTrust today XXXX to clarify and stop withdrawal. They deny responsibility. Say there is no way old account is being taken from. Report they have no ability to review their emails to customers. They are unable to account for the withdrawal on XXXX and deny that it occurred. They demand that I provide " proof '' that they took my money, but are unable to identify what form of proof will be acceptable. I have bank statements showing both withdrawals by SunTrust. I do not believe the email advising of the pending withdrawal is spam or phishing. It is identical to standard SunTrust emails sent in the past advising me of draws pending on my account. I believe this is a large corporate bank committing fraud.

Trouble during payment process

Mortgage: Conventional home mortgage

Complaint: XX/XX/2019 This involves on-line access to my current mortgage account. According to SunTrust Mortgage I am the " co-maker ''. We have an on-line account created, however, it had to be created in my husband 's name because he is the primary person listed on the mortgage. I needed to re-set the password after trying to log on too many times. I called SunTrust to re-set the password, however, they would not speak to me about it because the online account is in my husband 's name, not mine. Now remember, I didn't have the option to set up an account in my name. I am just a " co-maker '' to SunTrust. The customer service rep then attempted to set up my own on-line account, however, because I am not the primary person on the loan he told me they do not offer an online account for a " co-maker ''. I am just as financially responsible for the mortgage as my husband is. I should have the same access to the on-line mortgage info that my husband does. I explained to them that I am the one who set up the account initially and am also the one that accesses it when I need it. I am also the one that sends the payments. They would not re-set the password for me. They told me that they do not offer on-line accounts to " co-makers ''. Don't you think that anyone financially responsible for a mortgage ought to be able to have on-line access to the most current information? In this case I was trying to access the annual escrow statement that comes out in XX/XX/XXXXof every year. I am trying to adjust our budget to make sure I set aside enough money to make our next mortgage payment in the correct amount and in a timely manner. This was time sensitive information that I needed. I spent an hour and 16 minutes on the phone being transferred to various departments. This is not acceptable.
