SunTrust Bank Bank account or service department,

Checking account Account opening, closing, or management North Carolina

In late -, early - of 2015, I made some purchases that were supposed to go through my - account to my - - account. Instead, - erroneously charged my Suntrust account. I had been trying to remove this account from - for months but kept getting errors. I contacted Suntrust to stop any transactions from - and -, the banker, told me she would handle it. Weeks passed and my account went negative from the issue because the charges were never blocked. I contacted my banker again, only to find out she was no longer with Suntrust. The branch manager at the time stated she would look into it and get back to me. Another week passes and I call to find there is a new branch manager who knows nothing about the situation. I stated I wanted to have this resolved and she said there was nothing she could do because the account was now in closing status. She said to wait until it fully closes and call back. I did. When I called back, I was then told there was nothing I could do because the account was closed and I would have to wait on a letter. Now, this account is reporting to my - and Suntrust is being very " oh well '' about it, when they can clearly see the multiple attempts in my account from -. - needs a better system for removing accounts and Suntrust just needs better customer service. I 'm still trying to handle this account 8 months later and I 'm just getting the run around for the most part. Suntrust just wants me to pay the money and that 's about it. This is causing me so much financial stress because I ca n't get a bank account with my husband at his credit union with this on my file.
