BB&T Branch Banking Of Virgina (headquarters N. Carolina FRAUD WARNING: BB&T banks are not registered in Va. summons to court on closed account Lumberton North Carolina
Unbelievable: My account with BB&T has been closed for over a year and a half in May I get served a summons to court for bank fees on an account that has been closed since Jan. of 2008. It is now July 2009. A summons was served in May. At the time my account was closed I received a close check for $9,200.00. I have never received one letter or call telling me that I owed anything...if I owed how did I close out my account with $9,200.00.
I now have to go to court to show that my account was closed. I have called BB&T Headquarters in NC. I tried filing a complaint with Va Banking but BB&T is not registered in Va. so they do not have to follow Va. Banking Laws or Guidelines. Be warned used a bank or credit union in your state or you have no recourse. Withdraw your money. NOW. from BB&T. I have been referred to a law firm of Glasser and Glasser. I keep being told when my court date is. No one will help me. I am told to hire a lawyer for $1,200 owed them. I have to get a lawyer at $350 an hour to fight fees of approx. $1,200.
This has got to be stopped by us. We are a free country but I have to defend myself against a law firm of 20 lawyers on an account that has been closed for over a year and a half. I have called everyone I can think of no one has answers. I have gone to the TV station and hopefully the story will surface. My next approach is the newspaper. Please spread the word about getting a bank that follows your state regulations..withdraw your money from BB&T.

You need to answer the complaint, but I would be careful first. You might be better off just paying the $1200 because the lawyer will charge you for more than 4 hours of billable time plus any negotiation. If given a choice, I'd rather pay a bank than pay a lawyer. You might also try small claims.

I worked for account recovery at a different bank for many years and admit I don't know BB&T's policies. Did you have any auto debits that you may have forgotten to change or any charges outstanding when you closed your account? Even when you close your account, auto debits and outstanding debit card purchases can reopen the account, post and create a s****.!
