I closed my Truist checking and credit card account April 4.
It is now May 19 and after multiple trips to the bank and phone calls with “customer service”, I got two emails and a letter today regarding my “overdue balance.” I went to the bank again today and the teller said he would submit my request to close the account again. That’s it, he says, that’s all he can do.
Truist REFUSES to close my accounts. They cited that I had some sort of customer service agreement that was still pulling money from my account. I have been through every possible retail account and deleted every service agreement with PayPal and they are still charging me fees.
The worst is that they are trying to take $100 from the nonexistent checking account to pay off a few dollars and change in “interest and fees” on my credit account. The checking account is “blocked” but not closed, so $100 withdraw bounces, resulting in an insufficient fund fee. The credit card account doesn’t get paid so the non payment and interest fees continue to accrue.
I reported Truist to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and to the state Attorney General’s office. The state Attorney General’s office won’t touch it, and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau says that they are still waiting to hear back from the bank.
I have heard back from the bank and the answer seems to be that they simply will not close the account. Why not? Because they can practically print money from it by continuing to charge me absurd fees.
All I want is to close this stupid account. I have been trying for months, but I’ve literally had to save up money for months in order to pay off the fees and move all of my transactions to a different bank. I finally paid it off April 4th and I still can’t close the account.
How do I make them close my account so they stop charging me these fees and report my credit card paid off to the credit bureaus?

Terrible customer service experience. I needed to report debit card fraud and get a temporary card. The branch was physically dirty, understaffed, and “out” of cards. If this represents Truist then I will be in my way. Never met this sort of disappointment at BB&T before.
Do you need a debit card and checks? A safe place to save money you’ve earned? Or both? Check out our checking and savings account options to find the best one for you.
Checking accounts are used for day-to-day transactions, like buying something online or at a store with a debit card, sending money digitally, writing a rent check, or depositing cash and checks.
Savings accounts are more of a one-way street—a place to deposit money to save up for a goal or emergency fund.
You can open your new account any way you want. (Note that Truist CDs can only be opened at a branch.)
Online: Get started right away by opening your account online. You’ll have to wait a few days for your debit card and checks to arrive by mail—or you can visit a branch to get a temporary debit card ASAP.
