Truist Mortgage Reviews

My mortgage was transferred from Suntrust to Truist and it's been the worst experience I've ever had in dealing with banks. I arranged for bi-weekly payments for my mortgage and instead of only taking half of the mortgage every two weeks they've been taking the whole mortgage every two weeks. I've called them numerous times to get it fixed but the people I get on the line are no help whatsoever. It's truly ridiculous and maddening.

Worst bank ever Truist! Customer service horrible! Over checking and saving account ….They won’t even close bank accounts the right way and there is 6 overdraft fee …. They won’t give your money back after dispute!!! They have crazy reasons why not …. I mean it. The worst bank ever!!!!

During loan approval the bank refused for 2 months to correct the calculations, after 2 months they change interest rate and added a point in cost of loan and they without my consent make the loan as locked in. 11 months later they have not responded to my list of questions.

Calling the mortgage help number is an exercise in self humiliation. The rude representatives act like you're stupid for calling, and barely try to help. I've been trying to order my mortgage contract documents for 3 weeks now and still haven't received a simple email with my documents. Embarrassing customer service.

I was trying to refinance my house and after all the paperwork was faxed and paid for the appraisal I got turned down. They did too many hard inquiries with my credit and now I am starting over to build credit.

Hold times on phone over two hours to speak to a customer service representative when you are trying to register to pay your new mortgage. Customer service agent quickly passed the buck and sent to me another extension with another expected 50 minute hold time for the next representative. Do not do business with this mortgage company. Their mobile apps and alternative registration options do not work.

We did a VA refinance thru Suntrust in 2021 only because a lot of banks do not have VA refinance loans. It took 6 months to complete when I was told 60 days at the start. Never do a VA refinance thru Suntrust if you want a professional experience. We ended up paying thousands more because they took 6 months instead of 2 like they promised.

Absolutely HORRENDOUS/non-existent customer service. 6+ months of routine calls attempting to get answers to important questions regarding my mortgage, my forbearance status, etc. Dead-end phone options that state "this is no longer a working number" and automatically end the call, completely non-existent Home Preservation "Specialist" that does not return calls or answer emails - might as well be a ghost. Of all the things for which to provide terrible, atrocious customer service... a MORTGAGE should not be one of them. I will avoid SunTrust/Truist for the rest of my life.

Of all the banks that I have ever dealt with, this bank has the WORST customer service ever. Their wait times are 1-2 hours long, they operate on EST, which for someone in CA is pointless, and their customer service agents hang up on customers. They bought over 17,000 new mortgages and then sent out threatening letters and emails saying that we were delinquent in our accounts and threatening to send us to collections in violation of state and federal laws! They weren't even sorry about that and just said that the letter went out "in mistake"!

I listed my home in Washington, DC for sale the same month the first case of Covid was diagnosed in the US. Secondary, to DC restrictions on activity my condo was not able to be shown, no open houses were allowed and a massive exodus started from the city center. After approximately, 8 months, I opted in to the forbearance while I waited for a buyer.

All it took was a few questions to determine the refi wouldn’t work but she ran credit anyways without my permission. Asked very politely for a call back. Never received one. Sarah ** will respond to an email but will not get on the phone. Lack of clarification on the product being offered.

Horrible customer service. The loan representative never returned phone calls or emails. We tried to refinance our loan we've had with SunTrust for 18 years and we were put off for several months before we could even submit our paperwork. We were told they were just too busy to take the paperwork. Then when we were finally able to submit a request for refinance, that took months before we had any feedback except for their requests for more information. We were finally told we qualified and the loan was moving forward then suddenly, we were sent an email saying we didn't. I tried to call and ask how we may continue to pay the higher monthly payment at a higher interest rate but we didn't qualify to pay a smaller monthly payment with a lower interest rate. They never responded. Horrible company. We just refinanced thru a different company. Stay away from SunTrust.

I was finally able to secure a Home Equity Line of Credit earlier this year after banks weren't offering them at all this time last year. The rate they did give me was good, but the the loan officer blatantly IGNORED all my questions and correspondence regarding my loan. I had to call her multiple times and when she ignored my calls, I had to call someone else to have me transfer me to her. When the appraisal came back as a low ball offer, I tried to contact her for an entire week for some recourse, but again she IGNORED all my voice mails and emails. She wouldn't even send me the the appraisal report. I had to call another rep just to get this. I reluctantly closed not being satisfied with the HELOC amount.

I have been a long time customer. As my home loan is with them I checked in to a HELOC. They felt that this would go through so they submitted everything. Multiple attempts to get an answer with HORRIBLE lack of communication or just not responding at all. Then after 2 hard inquiries on my report they say that it was denied because I am a few points away from what score they needed! Could you not have told me this at the beginning so that a lot of time, effort and dings now to my credit report could have been avoided???? I am pulling my checking and savings accounts and going elsewhere!

Our home loan has been transferred to Suntrust Now Truist and this is the first month of mortgage payment which is a huge mess. The mortgage was paid online on August 3rd and I have been getting an email from Suntrust that they have not received the payment. I have called several times and they warn that the wait time is about 25 minutes. I am now on hold for 45 minutes and no one is responding. It is pretty frustrating not being able to connect with customer service in this company.

They have zero customer service. Headed into our 3rd month trying to get a mortgage. Their online mortgage system simply DOES NOT WORK. And you (the stupid customer) pay the price. My loan officer keeps telling me sorry...sorry...sorry, because she can't make it their system work either and her manager is on vacation. She is trying - but their system simply does not work. All management at Truist seem to be on vacation all the time. They hide themselves well. Ask your real estate about BB&T/SunTrust/Truist BEFORE you apply with them. If they say, "stay away", then heed their advice. Truist has a BAD reputation among many people in the real estate business.

Numerous hours on the phone with SunTrust. Paid off my loan early due to poor customer service. It has been 93 days and still have not received a lien release in clear violation of State law. Complaints filed with the CFPB and the State Attorney General. I would never use this company again.

This bank is a complete mess. Was told I could close my mortgage 5 days ago and am stuck in a hotel because their closing department will not process our paperwork. Their mortgage consultants should have never told us we could move up our closing if they were not committed to actually doing it. We've adjusted travel plans and are stuck holding a huge hotel bill as a result. Will NEVER use this bank again.

Waited on hold for literally 2 hours and 45 minutes. I could not wait any longer and had to hang up. Every minute or so recorded voice saying 'estimated wait time is 45 minutes to 1 hour'. Worst customer experience ever. Just disgusted.

Deborah ** was our loan officer. She was unorganized and unprofessional. I would not recommend this officer to anyone. She had very little knowledge of software Suntrust use for applicants, I asked to be reassigned to a new officer she disregarded my emails, I asked to be forwarded and contacted by her manager. She laughed and did not do so. Just nasty experience overall. Direct Loan Officer, NMLSR# ** at Trust Financial Corporation.

My husband and I paid off our mortgage. After several weeks went by, we received no notice, release, etc. We called several times with no satisfaction. When we finally submitted a written request for our documents, we were informed electronic copies were the only documents we would receive and originals were destroyed. Where it may not be statutorily or state required, it would have been more appropriate to put the originals in the mail, instead of the shredder. These were important documents to us, clearly not to SunTrust. Leading up to this, my husband and I never had a good experience with SunTrust, even in branches. I would never recommend them, even if they are now re-branded as "Truist". This is a bank of unprofessionalism and not interested in their clients at all. My disappointment is truly complete.

I applied for a VA mortgage loan with Suntrust Bank September 2020. I completed all the VA requirements and was preapproved and moved to the conditional approval stage. Today is 1/22/21 and I still don't know where I stand. The request for documentation has been unbelievable and often repetitive. I have quickly sent them every item requested. My closing has been postponed 4 times. My loan rep is very unresponsive. I am going on 5 months now on a process that has an average closing time of 54 days. This is unacceptable and I would not recommend Suntrust Bank for any Banking needs.

Updated on 08/25/2021: In 17 months, the 2 home preservation reps assigned to me, both Damian ** and Janice ** have NEVER returned a call or email but keep charging extra charges with no description till I question it, then miraculously, it is refunded the following month. This is no way to run a business let alone a BANK. They are unscrupulous and I would NEVER EVER use SunTrust or Truist Bank or mortgage for ANYTHING. I'm going to start a class action lawsuits and contacting the media.

Keeping giving you irrelevant information, asking to stay on phone to talk to customer service, yet drop calls, have been trying to reach them for 5 days and they don't pick up the phone, worse ever, they don't separate covid relief line from people who have a normal business request. Process my payment twice, can not tell them to apply it as principal reduction that should be the default.

I'm a current customer of Suntrust Mortgage. I want lower payment, so contact Suntrust Mortgage loan officer for refinance almost 1 year ago. But not finished still now. They are terribly slow process, so documents are expired several times and resend them again. But now they say again expired some....

After delaying for underwriter’s final approval they finally said no after nearly 3 months based on debt to income ratio which has been the same since approving. Dishonest process and immoral people, biased and racist mindset, this organization needs to go bankrupt, no place in society.

I am a current Mortgage holder with SunTrust (Truist). I've been trying to get information on my current loan and possible refinance. I called and was told the wait would be 30-45 minutes. I've now been on hold for 4 hours. This is my third attempt. There is effectively no customer service. I've never experienced such poor service.

Started the refi process for two properties (home & investment) in June 2020. Both were approved in September, but no word from Suntrust. Emails go unanswered and I refuse to wait on hold indefinitely. I decided to start the process with another lender. Even more disappointing is that I have been a client of the bank for over 30 years. You would think they might care. I am shopping for a new bank as well.

Suntrust, now Truist, has the poorest customer service call center. I have a mortgage account for more than 2 1/2 years. Always paying on time. Called their 800 number for assistance, but waited for over 30 minutes the first time calling. Hung up. Called repeatedly to speak to someone, any person. Each call, there was a significant wait. Even tried to give a call back number. Never a call back by anyone.

124 days to process a refi. The worst experience I ever encounter refinancing a house. No communication between departments. To process the refi they had to do a subordination from a second mortgage that they also hold. This part took an extra 30 days. I will not recommend this company and will never do business again.
