SunTrust Bank Consumer Loan Complaint

Vehicle loan Shopping for a loan or lease

SunTrust Bank Consumer loan department,

Vehicle loan Shopping for a loan or lease Virginia

I recently purchased a new vehicle through a local dealership in -, VA. The dealer set me up with Suntrust as my lender ( I 'm not sure if this was based on the lowest rate, or that he was incented by Suntrust to push them - He claimed he got box seats to the Washington Nationals game from Suntrust and was going that weekend ). Once I was approved and my loan established, I registered online ( as I 'm an online / digitally engaged person ) so I could regularly pay my bill there. Suntrust does n't allow online payments outside of having an account with them - So I am now being forced to make a financial decision ( open a new account ) with Suntrust to pay them. I called and asked if I was going to have to pay by phone now and they advised that there is a $15.00 charge to pay by phone. I was not disclosed any of this information when choosing Suntrust as a lender - If I had known they operated this way, I would have chosen a different lender ( even if the rate was higher ). It feels as though this borders ( or holistically lands in ) UDAAP territory as they did not clearly disclose this information to me in making my financial decision.
