SunTrust

*After all of this the wire transfer didn’t go through due to internal error, I called back and was greeted with the same hostile attitude refusal to help I was sent on a circle of phone numbers and I won’t continue in this thread but I this was the worst experience, disrespectful, unkind not to mention unprofessional. This almost made me loose the house.nnTo say I am beyond disappointed would be an understatement. I made an appointment for today at 2:00 for a wire transfer for a closing onnmy home purchase. I had such a good experience about three weeks prior with Florinda doing a wire transfer for a binder fee that was very simple and straightforward and I was greeted at my appointment time and everything was perfect. I showed up at 2:00 the doors were locked I saw on the door that there was a sign that said that they would be locked except for appointments. I had an appointment but the door was still locked, I looked around I couldn’t see anybody in the branch there was quite a significant line in the drive-through and went back to the car tried to call the branch no answer left a message for the branch manager in the meantime tried to call the Neptune Beach to see why I couldn’t get a hold of anybody and why I was locked out from my appointment time no answer there left a voicemail there So I got in the line at the drive through to see if I could speak to somebody to find out what was going on By this time it’s 2:20 I’m supposed to be at my closing appointment at 3:00 I’m calling again finally the branch manager answers and instead of apologizing or anything like that he said he was on the other line and the door is locked and to pull out of the drive-through and come in which I do. I said I an appointment at 2:00 the door is locked and he said there’s a sign on the door, I said the sign is a generalized sign that says that the doors are locked unless you have an appointment which I did and I couldn’t get a hold of anybody and nobody was answering the door at my appointment time so that sign doesn’t help me, he said I was on a call and we are the only two people in there, he never apologized he never acknowledged that he was late. I said I understand that but I an appointment at 2:00 and it’s locked and I’m freaking out and nobody’s answering the phone and he said what do you want me to do hang up on the person on the phone and I said no But if you realize somebody is coming in at 2 wouldn’t you be watching for the door. He said he wouldn’t stand there and let me verbally abuse him (which being stressed out that you cannot get into the bank to wire money for your closing is not verbally abusing anybody) and that did I want him to take care of what I needed because he didn’t have to do anything for me and I could just leave I said really are you threatening not even to do this transaction right now. I told him he was being unprofessional and he said that he wasn’t which his abuse of power threatening to keep me from accessing my money during an appointment I had made for a very important transaction because of ego IS an abuse of power and if I could’ve gotten a hold of anybody at the other branch I would’ve happily left. I asked him if he had any empathy I told him you could’ve taken a stressful situation and turned and been a big part of an exciting day. Vaughn the actual professional thing to do would’ve been to when you realize that you’re running late kindly ask the caller that you’re speaking to to hold please go check the door greet me apologize for being late and that you weren’t able to answer my calls, say you need to finish up a call, and ask me how you can help. Even after I just sat quiet so he wouldn’t RUIN MY CLOSING and transferred over $27,000 from this institution he never congratulated me on my home closing he never apologized and he didn’t say another word to me. That is unprofessional.nn*edited to add That after leaving messages at both institutions at 2:00 trying to figure out what was going on and to get a hold of anyone the Neptune Beach location finally called me back at 4:10.

Florinda was so patient and helpful with my elderly parents when they visited the bank.

Not a great bank but better then Wells Fargo
