My wife and I opened a joint savings account together. She was previously married, and the divorce papers she received from the court showed her first husband was solely responsible for paying on an equity line that was foreclosed on.
BB&T withdrew $4500 from our joint account and when presented with the court documents, they replied that their collections department did not recognize court ordered documents and we would have to take the person listed as being solely responsible to court to collect.
My wife was still owed money from their divorce, which she will never see, so we are basically out of luck, and out $4500. I have removed my money from the savings account, and will remove my money from the rest of my accounts as well.
Bottom line, don't use BB&T, they have their best interest at heart, and will overrule stamped and signed court ordered documents to get their money.
