SunTrust Banks, Inc. Bank Account Or Service Complaint

SunTrust Banks, Inc. Bank account or service department,

Checking account Using a debit or ATM card Maryland

I made $800.00 worth of charges for goods and services to the website - on -/-/2017 using my SunTrust Debit card. The charges were authorized by my bank, SunTrust, and goods and services were rendered. The charges appeared immediately in my account as pending charges, with the proper holds put on the funds. Almost two weeks later, I got a notice by email from my bank saying that my account was overdrawn. I checked my balance, and the account was overdrawn by - $1100.00 ( including overdraft fees ). I immediately noticed that I had $800.00 worth of new charges from -, and that they were all processed as " recurring '' charges on the dates of -/-/- and -/-/-, causing my account to overdraw. I filed a fraud dispute with Sun Trust, as I did not authorize any new payments to -. In the meantime, after examining my transaction history, I realized that that these charges were the SAME charges that were pending almost two weeks prior ( with PLENTY of money in my account to cover the charges ), and that for some reason they were not completed - they simply disappeared. Therefore, almost two weeks later, -


and that I did not authorize a " recurring payment '' to -. He then mentioned that it appears that these charges were attempted on -/-/- ( as I had discovered myself in the course of the investigation ), and that I had authorized them by " implied consent '', making them valid transactions. I immediately asked him why the initial charges were authorized - with pending holds on my funds- yet were not completed. I also asked him why the charges were then authorized again without my consent, overdrawing my account, and costing me $360.00. I told -, that if I do indeed still owe - $800.00, then that is fine with me ; I pay my debts ; I am not trying to take advantage of anyone. However, this is not the job of SunTrust and this still does not explain why these charges were not processed until a second attempt was made, and after I no longer had the funds available to cover them. Furthermore, I had DECLINED overdrafts on my account to be processed at the time Sun Trust fraudulently authorized these charges when it was convenient for them to collect $360.00 from me in overdraft fees. I told - that Sun Trust has no authority to act as a collection agent for -, especially when I have not allowed overdrafts on my account, especially when they charges were authorized almost two weeks before, and ESPECIALLY when bank error is the reason that they were not approved. I told him that although I strongly disapprove of their nefarious and illegal methods of obtaining the funds, I find it even more fraudulent and illegal that they would try to collect overdraft fees from me when it was their mistake that the charges were not processed initially. I then told - that I want my overdraft fees back at the bare minimum. In short, he told me that he could not help me, and only my local branch could reverse the overdrafts. I went to the branch immediately, and they pointed the finger back at -/Fraud Department saying that they are the only ones who can help me. Nobody at Sun Trust wants to take responsibility for what happened and are blaming me. I have documented evidence backing up every statement within this complaint. I do not feel that ANY of these charges are legitimate charges.
