BB&T bank
Elderly couple sued over $500.00 loan after bank takeover

BB&T Bank came in and took over the fine bank we had used from time to time.

We had just lost our young daughter through a very unexpected and horrible death, and were desperately in need of a loan to help with some of our resulting expenses (no insurance and a funeral bill over $6,000). However, we only borrowed $500.00. We soon became even more financially in dire straits when my wife suddenly became very critically ill and was not able to work. She had to be hospitalized under emergency orders from her doctor for an immediate blood transfusion (8 units!), and was very near death according to the doctor. She had no insurance, and we were again faced with a bill of over $6,000.

During all this we didn't know the bank had sold to BB&T, so when we got notice that we were being sued by BB&T, we thought it was an error because we had never done business with them. Also, with them being in Tennessee and we being in Ga., can they sue us? We are elderly and live on a very small social security check, and nothing more. This barely covers the bare necessities. We feel BB&T is being too cold-hearted and should allow me to make affordable monthly payments and should withdraw the civil lawsuit. We are honest people just having some bad luck.

Please, BB&T, have some heart!!!
