I have had a horrible experience with my mortgage from BB & T from the start. However, this latest issue has really frustrated me. My intention from the start has been to pay {$1600.00} towards my loan, XXXX a month. My monthly payment is around {$2700.00} and the remainder is to be used to reduce the principle. The reason why I am paying XXXX a month is to reduce the interest that accrues on my loan. After contacting the bank today, I learned that they do not apply my {$1600.00} payment to the balance of my loan until the full monthly payment is received. The money sits in a " suspense account ''. Therefore, I do not pay less interest at all. However, BB & T has my cash that they can use to invest and earn profits for themselves!!! Their customer service told me that their system is not set up to support bi-monthly payments. 
However, on top of all of that, BB & T sold my personal information to multiple organizations. Since closing I have received multiple letters in the mail from different companies offering to help me pay my mortgage and suggesting that I consider making bi-monthly payments because it will reduce my overall lifetime mortgage cost. It is just wrong that BB & T does not offer bi-monthly payments to their customers but will sell your information to other companies offering to do just that! 

This is just a fraction of my issues with BB & T. In addition, they lost my original loan paperwork with all of my personal information on it. To date I have received no follow-up on that issues, so as far as I know it 's still lost. And, I had a horrible experience with my mortgage loan officer who was incompetent and incredibly rude. I would refinance in a heartbeat if it were n't so costly!
