SunTrust Banks, Inc. Bank Account Or Service Complaint

SunTrust Banks, Inc. Bank account or service department,

Checking account Deposits and withdrawals Maryland

My minor daughter had her atm/debit card stolen as well as her mobile banking account information for her checking and savings accounts at Suntrust bank hacked. The thieves used her card to make fake/altered traveler 's check and money order deposits to her account then on the same/next day used the card to make large purchases. They withdrew money from the Suntrust atm as well. This was all in a few days window from approximately -/-/2016. Her first indication of anything wrong was the bank 's fraud department calling her on -/-/2016 and she realized her card was missing. She is in high school during the day and works part-time several days per week so does not make purchases daily so had not realized it was missing. The fraud department had her verbally go through the information as to what purchases she remembered making, but at that time she was not made aware of any of the fake/altered check deposits. The next week a letter ( s ) came from them in regards to being overdrawn. I went to the bank branch ( on -/-/- ) and the manger pulled up the information and then gave me copies of the


demanding the overddrawn amounts be paid ( about 2000 $ ) as well as stating that a negative notation would be put on our credit files. I have given them the case numbers but it seems the fraud department does not share the information with the collection department. We were again by the fraud department to fill out forms ( some of them to be notarized ) that then never arrive. They insist that all this could be handled at a bank branch but due to our work schedules we have only been able to go to a branch once and that was not a useful experience. We requested the evidence they used in denying the claim-such as a list of all the time stamped transactions, video images of the perpetrator at the ATM and at - making the purchases at -. However, they have never provided the information only sending a denial letter. They have been very uncooperative. Without the proper information we can not adequately rebut any inconsistent information-my daughter is minor teen and even a week after the incident could not adequately recall which days she may have worked or not and what places she went or not let alone months later. The places that the thieves went to get and spend money were at some distance from our home base and it ridiculous how the bank is handling this situation.
