Sun Trust - Are 'Customers' really 'Victims'?

What does a consumer do when the bank won't respond to inquiries and the largest firm of lawyers in town won't help because of a 'conflict of interest'?

Well there is always some self help.

The situation is that in trying to get away from marginal service at Wells Fargo a checking account was initially established at the Sun Trust in Canton. With no notice it was closed after 2 days.

OK, there are a lot of financial institutions in the county, no big deal right?

But what do you do when the bank refuses to return the $6,665.44 opening deposit, won't even communicate with you let alone offer a reason?

Further complications result when the firm of Bray and Johnson won't touch the case due to a 'conflict of interest' the local bi-weekly paper won't take an advert critical of the bank and in fact won't even do a story about the matter.

Well, there is always taking the matter to the general public via internet blogging and some informative post cards.

From my research on the net it seems that this isn't an isolated problem and in fact Sun Trust has an entire department called the 'Account Closing Department'.

The issue seems simple to me, if they don't want the account then give back the money. I think the legal terms are 'unjust enrichment' and 'conversion'. I'll keep you posted - or maybe I'll send you a post card.
