Thursday, August 4, 2011 - 3:44 PMCustomers Come LAST at SunTrust
SunTrust Bank 
(
1 stars)
My mother recently went into long-term care and my siblings and I have had to go through a lengthy and onerous process to qualify her for Medicaid. Part of the process involves securing bank statements for the past five years. Since my mother has six bank accounts, we had the experience of dealing with six different banks. The customer service at most of these was friendly and accommodating. Two banks provided the statements for free and mailed them to us. In contrast, the customer service representative at SunTrust was officious and even rude. Moreover, SunTrust charges $5 for each back statement and, at this exploitative rate, requires that you return to the bank at a later date to retrieve them. I would not advise anyone to have anything to do with SunTrust. Clearly, the bank's motto is "The customer comes last."

1. Thursday, August 4, 2011 - 6:34 PMI am sorry you are faced with this added stress at an already difficult time. Perhaps a sympathetic bank officer might be willing and able to expedite the process or waive some portion of the fee especially if your Mom was a long-time customer.
Best of luck to all of you ~
