Consumer Narrative
On XX/XX/XXXX, I opened a Truist account with a {$500.00} bonus offer attached to it, and opted for electronic statements. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received an email saying the bonus would not be honored, without any specific explanation. At this time, I attempted to log into my account, at which point the online interface told me that my User ID was not recognized, which continued to occur when I tried again later in the week. Customer support wait times were in the 2-3 hour range and it was not possible for me to operate on this schedule. Given that I was told the offer wasn't honored and my account was no longer usable online, it seemed clear to me that my account was closed. However, on XX/XX/XXXX, I received a paper statement in the mail ( despite having opted for electronic statements ) indicating that I was charged both a paper statement fee and an account maintenance fee, totaling a charge of {$14.00}. This is unacceptable, particularly given my lack of access to the account because of Truist 's actions and the lack of availability of its customer service.
