Consumer Narrative
I went to my bank Truist to access my safe deposit box. The keys I had would not open the box. I have {$89.00} in a savings account. When I asked for my money I was told by a bank officer that I owed {$15.00} for the box and if I paid {$15.00} I could have the rest of my money. This did not make sense because I couldnt get into the box. The next day I spoke to the branch manager and he said I closed the box in 2018. I asked him if he could prove that because my signature card was still on file. He said they had the keys to that box and it was empty. I left my {$89.00} in the savings account on the hope that if I owed money for the box and they were able to locate the contents I would be able to pay the money if I owed it. Previously the fee for the box was automatically withdrawn fro the savings account.
