    My parents have an account at ************. They attempted to add beneficiaries to there account at the ************* branch on Nov 22. The Associate named **** told my mom that she required name, social security number, and drivers license numbers. When asked for the drivers license expiration date the associate indicated she would just make up some dates. The Associate took all of the information but did not update the account. She told my parents they would have to come back to sign paperwork. No contact was ever made to my parents after that time. Since this time I have taken my parents to branch in ***** and that same information was not requested and it was indicated that it wasnt necessary. The Hope branch has violated financial laws. My parents are Elderly. Elder Abuse. My account was accessed without my authorization in relation to their transaction. My parents are not on my account nor can they authorize information to be accessed on my account. This branch should be investigated for taking advantage of elderly customers, deceptive and abusive practices, and unauthorized account access.

    I recently closed my checking account with ********************** in ******, *******. When I opened the account, I was told it would remain free if I maintained a $250 balance. I followed this rule, leaving $250 untouched.However, the bank deducted an $8 inactivity fee without any notice, which caused my balance to drop below $250. This triggered a monthly $5 fee, which I also wasnt informed about. I only discovered this when closing the account.The manager, ****, refused to waive the fees when I raised the issue. This lack of transparency and unwillingness to resolve the matter is unacceptable. I request a full refund of the fees and strongly advise against doing business with this bank.

    On 9/20/24 I wired to the business account mentioned above $12,320. I wired the amount mentioned from my ******* Swcabb account. ********************** said they couldn't accept the wire because there wasn't enough account information. I then went through the ******* Swcabb wire service asking for a reverse of the money 10/1/24. ****** sent an email to the bank to do the reverse of funds but Cadence Bank will not do the reverse of funds. I called Cadence Bank but all they tell me is call back ******. I did call ****** a second time and they said that Cadence Bank refuses to do the transaction.

    I am writing to file a formal complaint against Cadence **************** and Trust regarding their handling of my disabled daughter's trust. Despite multiple attempts to contact them via email and phone over the past month, I have not received any response.Cadence **************** and Trust also sent me a statement by mail, but they have failed to acknowledge or respond to my subsequent emails and phone calls. Specifically, I reached out to *************************, Trust Administrator, and his secretary, ***************************, but I have not received any assistance or acknowledgment of my concerns.Due to their consistent lack of response and failure to provide the necessary support for my daughter's trust, I am seeking assistance from the Better Business Bureau (BBB) in hopes of resolving this matter promptly.I kindly request the BBB's intervention to ensure that Cadence **************** and Trust addresses my concerns and communicates with me in a timely manner.

    Feb 22 2024 (3pm) -I arrive at the Bancorp South at the ******** Branch to wire $40000 to **** of ********** for closing of property - I gave printed wiring instructions to Viquetta , I let her know I am there to do an international wire transfer to purchase a property in ********** and that it is very important. I immediately noticed 2 things on the form that I immediately brought up to their attention 1. The intermediary **** was ***** Fargo instead of **** of America 2. The numbers on the form did not match what was given with the wire instruction They were explained by ***** and ******** as nothing being wrong. Allthe numbers were different than in the instructions and I was made believe that it has been reviewed, checked, and confirmed. Closing day 3.4.2024.The money did not arrive in **********. ******** gave me 2 numbers to me that she did not know how to use. At this point she involved *****. After some discussion, I immediately put her on a 3 way call with **** of CR who was still trying to explain that no mistake was made and was implying that her employee at Cadence Bank was given wrong instructions. ******* was able to explain where the error is and ***** finally recognized the issue. We were no able to close on our property on 3.4.2024 at 3pm which wasted the entire trip. The trip was scheduled specifically to conduct the closing. This created unnecessary costs, problems, in addition to wasting time and money for the travel.On 3.12.2024 I went to the **** in person to talk to *****. She explained the mistake that was made. ******** entered the account number for the intermediary **** ***** of America) as the account number for the final destination for the **** of *** ****. The funds were returned on 3/21/24 ***** assured me that all wire fees and charges would be refunded. They have not been refunded. I have left 5 messages in person and by phone. No call back. I am seeking to recover lost funds as a result of this mistake. Total of $445

    On May 23, 2024, I contacted Cadence Bank in regard to a fraudulent account being opened in my name. I spoke to multiple agents who all told me different things. One representative told me, my information was not in their system, the other told me, they found the account, but it was showing paid in full and the last rep told me the account was classified as a charge off. All of this misinformation is hindering me from moving forward with a loan process. After explaining my concerns with the supervisor from Cadence Bank, I was met with a very unprofessional, demeaning attitude; was told by the supervisor oh well, I dont know what to tell you when I was simply trying to find a resolution to the fraud activity that was done under my personal information. I have not been met with any solutions regarding this matter.

    Cadence Bank has instituted a new policy whereby they charge $5 to cash a check over $100. My feelings on that aside, I simply asked for a receipt for the $5 charge when I cashed a $200 check. I was refused a receipt. If a business just takes money, and isnt willing to provide a receipt for the service, that is a simple case of ***** theft, in my opinion, and shouldnt be allowed. I cash many checks there that are over $100, so this has the potential to become a substantial amount annually for which no receipts will be provided. That is a downright shady business practice that I believe is wrong.
