Company: TD BANK US HOLDING COMPANY
State: UT
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Credit card debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt was paid

Complaint:
In XX/XX/2020 I took advantage of an offer on TargetXXXX to open an account. I then charged roughly {XXXX} to the card. I had NO communication with the bank until I called the bank in XXXX after being notified of a change to my credit bureau file by a third party. I then immediately contacted the customer service department and was told they needed to update my address, would take a payment for the full amount then waive the interest and late fees. The agent then proceeded to tell me that they city in my address was wrong but that he could not update that and the only thing he could do is attempt to send a card and replacement statements to me at the address they had on file. This was supposed to leave me with a XXXX} balance and have a card and statements on the way to me. After a few more months I logged into my third party account to check my credit for any changes and found a 30-59 days late notification for the XXXX statement. I still have not received ANY communication from the bank since I opened the account except for contact I initiated via the phone calls. I was very surprised considering I was told the balance was taken care of and not further payment was needed. After speaking to several people I found out that again I missed a payment, no statement received, and would need to make a payment for XXXX}. I asked to speak with a collections rep I updated the address to include the correct city then I asked for a fee waiver and then a supervisor. The supervisor told me she would not be waiving the interest charges due to the fact that I didn't contact them in XXXX or XXXX to make the payment for the remaining balance and that a 1 time courtesy credit for fees and interest was already given to me. I don't know why I am not receiving statements but it probably has something to do with the address on the account showing the wrong city. I explained that I live in a rural area of Utah and that if the post office received mail with the wrong city it OFTEN never arrives.
