BB&T Financial Bank account or service problems caused by my funds being low

October 28, 2015 - My husband and I both have direct deposit of our paychecks to our checking account. We are very strict on our spending and record keeping. So when we use our debit cards or write a check, we know how much is in our account from not only the check registry, but our online banking. Except in the last 6 months we have ended up with over $2000.00 in overdraft fees. When I inquire about it at the bank, I am told the reason is that when we use our cards, it puts a hold on that amount of the money in our account. Then when it clears, if there is not enough to cover it, because of the pending amount...

BB&T Financial Bank account or service problems caused by my funds being low

October 24, 2015 - I have reason to believe my bank is structuring my transactions in a way that generates maximum overdraft fees. In the past three months, on at least - occasions, I have been hit with as many as - overdraft fees on transactions that could have been covered if the bank ordered them smallest-to-largest, or even if they took place in chronological order. The bank now wants me to switch to a savings account that would refuse to honor the purchases - but which would mean I 'd receive fees from the company I was attempting to pay ). ...

BB&T Financial Bank account or service problems caused by my funds being low

October 16, 2015 - I have not opted-in to overdraft protection wherein my bank ( BB & T ) will advance funds on my behalf, should my account balance fall below zero. For years, my savings account has been linked to my checking account for an alternative to overdraft protection, however. Recently, I noticed that I was being charged a $12.00 Miscellaneous Debit '' for BB & T to transfer my own money from my savings account to my checking account upon a low balance. This Miscellaneous Debit '' is charged per transfer, very similarly to an Overdraft Fee - just not $35.00 -. ...

BB&T Financial Bank account or service problems caused by my funds being low

October 12, 2015 - I have been a customer with this bank for years and for the most part I have not had any problems, until recently. I began reviewing my account statements after I received a notice that my account was over drafted over $700.00. I will be honest in saying that I have unintentionally over drafted my account in the past and have been able to bring my account in the positive within a reasonable amount of time. When I reviewed my statements, I started by reviewing the balance and charges from - until recently. I would subtract the charges shown from the balance provided on my statements. Often...

BB&T Financial Bank account or service problems caused by my funds being low

October 9, 2015 - We have had a checking account with BB & T for the last 22 years, and we are seriously considering moving our accounts to another financial institution that will hopefully not employ the same bait and switch techniques. We value long standing relationships, and it is the only thing that has prevented us from moving our account thus far but our frustration with these practices are pushing us to consider switching our accounts to a new financial institution. It seems that since the new financial protections were put in place for consumers that restricts financial institutions from collecting or ...

September 19, 2015 - I tried to dispute this case with BB & T and was treated very poorly in many nice words.I am attaching the letter I gave them. I overdrew my account - yet I got charge - times for a total of $460.00 instead of $72.00. Why am I disputing this? Well according to their posting procedure which should have been posted in order I would not have had this issue.
