SUN TRUST BANK, aka Suntrust Suntrust Bank, SUNTRUST CORPORATE OFFICE HEADQUARTERS HQ Opened new Checking Account - Bank closed it 3 days later Atlanta, Canton Georgia

We have the power to shut them down but withdrawing all our money from these banks. If they say they have the right to close our checking accounts. We have a right not to do deposit our money in their banks. We have a say too not just the big banks. It's our business that keeps them in business.

I am pleased to finally report that with some needed assistance from our Congressman Barry Loudermilk the funds that were withheld by Sun Trust Bank arrived today via certified mail.

I have no kind words for the pin heads at Sun Trust and if you are considering accounts with them you should think again.

4/5/19  -  I wanted to update this, although I have yet to get my $ back.  My various complaints to the media were for nothing - local paper would not respond to my 4 requests to pay for a display ad about my issues.  Largest local law firm didnt reply to my inquiry about hiring them for 2 weeks and when I rated them at 1 star on Yelp.com they finally said they could not take it because of a 'conflict of interest'.

It isn't all bad news, today I got both a phone call and email from my local Congressman's office that the matter was being taken up by Rep Loudermilk's Washington office.  I have also continued to email as many ST people as I can find email addresses for and have on order some informative post cards which you can see on my blog site.  They will go out next week.  

Go to:  http;//suntrustsucks.blogspot.com The account was supposedly opened with the deposit going in from WF the same day, then the funds were on 'hold' until 3/12/19 at which date I will be at the bank to remove the money.

In your title you stated...

Opened new Checking Account - Bank closed it 3 days later

In your report you posted an e-mail that stated the following

I will be in on the 12th to close this account.

So which is it?

It seems as if this revolves around a Check you deposited to fund the account sine you mentioned Regulation CC. But depending on the type of check since this is a new account the funds may not need to be made available until the 9th business day.

So what is the timeline of all of this? When did you deposit the check, what type of check was it? When did you find out they closed your account? What are you leaving out?

Oh and as for anything about closing out your account. NO bank or financial institution will discuss the reasons your account was closed over the phone. You will need to wait until you get the formal written notification as to the reason, but even then it may just be that they decided to close your account. As they have the right to do even without a specific reason.

Some additional documents about this complaint are available at:  http;//suntrustsucks.blogspot.com  Any subsequent reply from them will be added.
