Consumer Narrative
I have been a loyal customer with Truist ( formerly BB & T ) Bank for over 20 Years. 2023 was an exceptionally rough year financially for me but Truist capitalized off of my unfortunate situation. Below are the dates that overdraft fees were taken from my account in 2023. OVERDRAFT FEE - XX/XX/2023 - {$36.00} OVERDRAFT FEE - XX/XX/2023 - {$36.00} OVERDRAFT FEE - XX/XX/2023 - {$36.00} OVERDRAFT FEE - XX/XX/2023 - {$36.00} OVERDRAFT FEE - XX/XX/2023 - {$36.00} OVERDRAFT FEE - XX/XX/2023 - {$36.00} OVERDRAFT FEE - XX/XX/2023 - {$36.00} OVERDRAFT FEE - XX/XX/2023 - {$36.00} OVERDRAFT FEE - XX/XX/2023 - {$36.00} OVERDRAFT FEE - XX/XX/2023 - {$36.00} OVERDRAFT FEE - XX/XX/2023 - {$36.00} OVERDRAFT FEE - XX/XX/2023 - {$36.00} OVERDRAFT FEE - XX/XX/2023 - {$36.00} OVERDRAFT FEE - XX/XX/2023 - {$36.00} OVERDRAFT FEE - XX/XX/2023 - {$36.00} OVERDRAFT FEE - XX/XX/2023 - {$36.00} OVERDRAFT FEE - XX/XX/2023 - {$36.00} OVERDRAFT FEE - XX/XX/2023 - {$36.00} OVERDRAFT FEE - XX/XX/2023 - {$36.00} OVERDRAFT FEE - XX/XX/2023 - {$36.00} OVERDRAFT FEE - XX/XX/2023 - {$36.00} These total {$750.00}. I did not expect a full refund but did reach out to ask if a portion of the aforementioned overdraft fees could be refunded and was told I was allowed XXXX overdraft fee credit of {$36.00}. I will be switching banks within the next few months as there are so many " fee-free '' banks out there. This is beyond frustrating and honestly shows such lack of care.
