Consumer Narrative
On or about XX/XX/XXXX a teller in XXXX ( I rarely go to XXXX ) entered a hold to offset a deposit on someone else 's account. In entering the hold, she mistakenly typed in a " XXXX '' instead of a " XXXX '', and the hold was placed on my account in error. Mistakes happen, that is understandable. However, as a result 2 items were rejected on my account. I was charged 2 x {$36.00} in " returned item fees ''. After spending 2 hours over a week on the phone with the bank, they reversed these two " returned item fees ''. However, they refuse to credit me for the charges from the merchant who the items were returned to. The merchant charged me {$25.00} for each item as a " redeposit fee ''. The bank told me I needed to go to the branch, get paperwork, and then go to the merchant and ask the merchant to refund that fee. If this were my error, I wouldn't mind doing that. However, it wasn't my error. Truist put a @ {$250000.00} hold on my account that was 1 ) an error, and 2 ) had nothing to do with me. The least that they should do is cover those bad check fees charged by the merchant. My expectation is that they also contact the merchant and explain that this was an error on their part and apologize on my behalf. I don't want my 800+ credit scores damaged by a bank error. The " returned item '' fees were charged on XX/XX/XXXX and were refunded on XX/XX/XXXX. The merchant charges for the bad check were made on XX/XX/XXXX. I spent about an hour on the phone around on XX/XX/XXXX to find out what happened. At that time I was told that the " returned item '' fees would be taken care of. I called back on XX/XX/XXXX when the items were still appearing on my account and had to spend XXXX minutes on the phone before that part of the problem was resolved. The merchant charges are still not resolved.
