extended overdraft fees
I had overdrawn my acct by forgetting that I had an a payment that I forgot about which was my fault, I had been charged 4 overdraft fees of 36.00 each plus the 101.00 ( the payment that came through). I went in the bank and they had told me that they pay the larger amount first as they think that it is a major bill that needed to be paid, the four smaller charges came in before the larger charge, and they did credit 2 of the over draft fees back, which i was thankful, I now noticed on my account since it is 7 days overdrawn and I told them that I wouldnt get paid until the 9th and they said that would be fine. now i noticed they had tacked on 36, 00 for Extended Overdraft Fees which i was unaware of this charge until i found out about it online. I have had the acct for over 2 years now, how am i to remember that if this happened that they were going to charge this.. I am going into the back to see if i can get the charges removed, and then if not, once the acct becomes current I am going to see what they have to say when I close this account, I can not believe that this happens, especially when there is no notification that this is going to happen.. I hope that someone can pass a bill or something to reduce the fees that these banks are charging for overdraft fees, and this is the first time in 2 frickin years that I have over drafted.. this really sucks. I hope that by law that they can not charge this amount of fee for overdrafts. thanks for hearing my side of the story of suntrust banks- steven in saint petersburg, fl

Auto Loan
I had an auto loan with SunTrust Bank since 2004. In July 2009 I made the 60th payment (the last payment according to the loan agreement for a total of $66, 000). I then start getting calls from SunTrust stating that I still owe $3300! They said I had over 20 late fees and interest on the late fees. Never once in 5 years did SunTrust notify me that a late fee was charged to my account.
I always mailed my payments in and allowed plenty of time for it to reach them. On the account statement that they sent me, the late fee was charged on the 22nd of each month and wouldn't you know it-my payments always posted on the 23rd.
I have sent them all of the copies of every check that was written for the loan and bank statements. They are unwilling to work this out. They are now threatening to repo the truck and report me late to the credit bureaus unless I pay them this $3300 immediately.

It is absolutely criminal that banks do this. I am the third person in my community that has had the exact thing happen with SunTrust.

Closed checking account (what a joke)
In July, I went to Suntrust and cancelled my checking account. The lady helping me, and myself, researched my account to see what outstanding checks and debits had cleared so as to leave enough in the account to avoid NSFs. She gave me my cash and documented that I wished to close my account and the balance was at -0-. I went on my merry way with the belief that the account was closed and I was finished with Suntrust.

A month later I recieved a card in the mail stating that I owe Suntrust $115.00. I called the customer service department and the man I was talking to stated that because there was a small balance of money in the account the account was not closed. My daughter took it upon herself to purchase i-tunes on my account thus bringing me the money to cover it. I informed her the account was closed. Suntrust honored those purchases and charged my account overdrawing it. They charged me two NSFs of 36.00 each.

I went down to the branch and the little snot that helped me was of no help to me at all. She was rude and arrogant. I was so angry that I got up and left. I called customer service and the young lady that helped me said when an account is closed the protocal with any money left over is send the money to the customer in a check. The checking account sat idle for exactly one month. The customer service representative stated that the branch would have to settle this issue. They advised me to call the branch manager which I did. She was just as bad as the woman helping me the first time I went into the branch. I got absolutly NO WHERE with this bank. I have had nothing but trouble with them.

To top it off, my payroll checks were written on Suntrust so I went there to cash them. They charged me $5.00 since I did not have an account with them. Well guess what? I did have an account with them and now they refuse to refund my $5 x however many checks I cashed.

They are not willing to help you with anything and absolutly will not accept blame for ANY OF THEIR MISTAKES. I cannot believe they say to each customer "Thank you for banking with Suntrust. We appreciate your business". What a pathetic joke!!!

Also, I never got my $50 gift card.

PC Banking fee
On June 5th 2009 Suntrust charged my checking acct. $5.95 for a pc banking fee but then on June 8th they had refunded it back to my acct. Now I don't use the pc banking and I use online banking to view my acct. and a vehicle loan that I have through them. Pc banking is where you use sofware like quicken or microsoft money to download your statements. I rarely use my suntrust acct. and when I opened up the acct. with them they used part of my opening deposit towards a bunch of checks that I will never use which I have never even wrote the first one. Once my loan is paid off I am going to close my acct. and also they will charge $20 fee for that.

fraudulent charges
I had checked my checking account and found that they had taken a unavailable funds fee out and when I called the teller couldnt give me a reasonable explanation after putting me on hold for 3 times and finally credited my account. Also she told me that check charges are not the current $36.00 charge but $72.00 per check. They charge you an insufficient funds charge for $36.00 and then charge you a unavailable funds charge of $36.00. I think these charges are for the same thing just worded differently so they can rip you off. Times are hard and this company is asking for a bunch of money from the government to help them out. What are we getting for our money ? I plan on looking for another place to put my money.

RIP OFF
We have been banking with Suntrust for over 30 years, and Suntrust don't give a rats tail about any of their valued clients. Well where do I start about all the rude, unfair, bunch of idiot's high up that make all the decisions on charging 35.00 on people if their 1.00 minus before their check clears. All the decision makers are out playing golf and using money that's not their's living the good life. They need to be stuck in the ass like all their so called valued customers.
Our daughter changed bank's because of the rip offs, STEALING money that IS NOT their's.
I get paid once a month and it get's tight toward the first of the month, and Suntrust took 35.00 because I was 17.00 minus before I made my deposit. That is STEALING...
Oh not to mention when I was building my house they were my best friends when I was depositing 40, 000. in our building account. In all 317, 000.00. Suntrust enjoyed using my money, but when all was said and done, when things got tight, Suntrust took so much NSF's it was sick. I even called to see if they could take these off and they said they could only take one off. That is a bunch of B S. Even that over draft protection is a bunch of B S.
I will be changing banks, after almost 30 years of banking with Suntrust. And I make lots of deposits, but no more of Suntrust STEALING my hard earned money. Suntrust is rich from taking people's money for NSF's. Ever who made this decision to do this to people, and I know it come's from high up there from the board of Suntrust. I would love to talk to one of the owner's of Suntrust. Or even better I would like to change position's with them, and let them see what real work is that a real man does. Even getting their hand's and finger nails dirty.
To make a long story short, I could go on and on, these NSF's should be done away with. Because that is absolutely STEALING PEOPLE'S MONEY!!!
That's only one thing mistake's made screws up people's account's to. And I know money has been took out of my account someway also. I made a 17, 000.00 deposit and I kept up with every cent, but my balance and Suntrust's balance was ungodly incorrect, but Suntrust can alway's make themselves come out alway's correct.
I have no respect for this Suntrust Company. They are SCAMMER'S and STEALER'S.
I will give this Company the worst name of everyone I come across.
Not to mention we had 4 account's there. No more though I'm done with this RIP OFF company...
I will be closing all my account's there this week.
Suntrust is BLOODSUCKING CROOK'S...

Horrible Customer Service
I have been with SunTrust bank for over 10 years now. I have been severely burned by the m in the past. They posted an $800 as $300 to my checking account and caused all my bill payments to get returned. My credit cards were all put on hold and my bank account was in the negative. Many calls to management and customer service left me with no answers. It took me about 2 weeks to get everything straightened out.

Recently I went to a branch to exchange $2, 000 into foreign currency. I went to pick up the currency and I was told that it would be deducted from my account. I went out of the country with my money and when I got back I noticed that the money was still in my checking account.

I went to the bank to ask what the problem was. The woman who helped me at the Arlington, VA branch was so rude and insulting to me, as if I was the person in the wrong. She accused me of intentionally overdrawing the account and using the bank's money to pay bills. When I showed her that I had deposited a check that would cover all the bills I paid (which had not even cleared yet) she had the nerve to ask me if the check was going to clear!

She then showed me the amount of money that was going to be deducted from my account. The total was $10 more than the original amount. When I told her this she became impatient with me and said that this is what they were supposed to charge and that the first time they probably made a mistake. At this point I was infuriated that I was bringing this bank error, which would cost them $2, 000 of their money and they had the nerve to take more money than they said they originally would. At this point I brought it to her attention that I was the one helping them out by bringing this to their attention and I had to take time out of my schedule to come to the bank to notify them. She then responded with "we would have found the error eventually." Unbelievable!

I thought I was doing a good thing by letting the bank know that they forgot to take money out of my account. Instead of being thanked for my time and apologizing for the inconvenience I was insulted and treated with great disrespect. The people at this bank have absolutely no respect for their customers.

I was considering taking out a mortgage with this bank but now that I have seen this behavior I will never enter into any sort of long term financial agreement with them. If they can't keep track of their money how are they going to take care of mine?

Terrible bank
Suntrust Bank and I have heard that others do it as well, but I only have actual experience with Suntrust. When an account go nsf, the bank holds electronic transactions and small debits to your account and Processess the largest transactions first. The time span varies with slightly with the posting deadline, ie weekday or weekend, but they post the largest transactions so they can charge you a $35 fee for each of the smaller ones.

Example. I wrote a check for $100 and did not log in in the register. Later that week when the check was posted to the account, I watched as they withdrew 8 minor transactions and processed the check. Then they reprocessed the small transactions, $3.95, $8, 00, $14.75, $22.00, $5.50, $6.69, $10 and $5.79 and charged me $35 each. Count them, They charge me $280 rather than process charge me $35 for the check, which by the way came in last.

I had verified the balance earlier that day to see if I had enough to make a purchase. I decided not to make the purchase because the balance was low. On my electronic statement, the check had not been presented. The following day, I watched as they withdrew my paid debits, posted the check and then paid the electronic debits again and charged me $35 each time. Letters to everyone in the bank here in Atlanta, in Florida and two other cities yielded no positive results.

the first time it happened, it was only one fee. But the second time, I saw the technology in action and closed my account. We are still in dispute about the debt.
