Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Information belongs to someone else

Complaint:
I have spent the better part of the last two years trying to have fraudulent accounts removed from my reports. The time, stress, and financial damages they have caused me have beyond nauseating. These credit reporting companies have done nothing that would remotely be considered a legitimate investigation into these concerns. My next steps are to take these concerns to federal court.

15 U.S Code $ 1681c-2 A consumer reporting agency shall block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after date of receipt. It has been well over 30 days and you are VIOLATION of this law due to the very fact that I AM A VICTIM OF IDENTITY THEFT!!!! Please delete these items that are enclosed on my federal identity theft report. 
To be clear, these accounts should not be furnished on my consumer reports as they are in VIOLATION of 15 U.S Code $ 1681c-2 AND under 15 U.S Code 1681b Permissible purposes of consumer reports, subject to subsection ( c ) any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and NO OTHER : ( 2 ) In accordance with the WRITTEN INSTRUCTIONS of the consumer to whom it relates. I XXXX XXXX NEVER gave any consumer reporting agency WRITTEN CONSENT to report anything on my consumer report which violates my rights as a FEDERAL PROTECTED consumer. NO CONSENT IS IDENTITY THEFT. As a consumer im demanding the deletion of the accounts listed IMMEDIATELY.

State: NY
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Other features, terms, or problems
Sub-issue: Problem with balance transfer

Complaint:
I applied for a balance transfer though my TD Credit card. The amount was {$1400.00} and the fee for the transfer was {$42.00}. The term for the transfer was 0.00 % apr till XX/XX/2024. 

When the next statement was issued the balance transfer showed that it was for an APR of 19.99 % I called the bank multiple time and sent them my confirmation screen which included the confirmation number the APR of 0.00 % till XX/XX/2024. The excuse I received was that it was processed on XX/XX/XXXX and the offer was valid till XX/XX/XXXX. 

I completed the process on XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX XXXX  and I have attached a printout of the confirmation of the balance transfer agreement with the 0.00 % XXXX till XX/XX/2024. TD credit card service informed my that the agreement confirmation doesnt mean anything until they process the application. Something which I have no control over. I was still told that they couldnt change it once it posts and I am responsible for the charges because they posted it next day. 

Now I will be forced to pay-off the entire credit card balance which includes an amount for a previous balance transfer or transfer the total balance amount on the card again to another card and pay another transfer fee. 

TD credit card services stated they can not refund me the balance transfer fee or cancel the interest I was charged even if I paid the amount in full.

Sub-issue: Transaction was not authorized

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2022 I went to Citizens Bank, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, MI XXXX, to withdraw my Social Security check which was direct deposited on XX/XX/2022. This was the first time my Social Security check was direct deposited in Citizens because before that, I had it direct deposited in my XXXX XXXX 

When I asked to withdraw the money the teller told me that there were three checks written out, one for {$500.00}, one for {$400.00} and one for {$1000.00}. I told her that I do not have any checks with Citizens so I had to report it to one of the banking people at the desk. Her name is XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX. I got back my {$500.00} within two weeks because she said it the same person who was on the other two checks, XXXX XXXX, tried to cash it at a Citizens bank so they said it was fraud. I was told that the first check for {$500.00} was a paper check, but it doesnt show on my checking account statement what number it was or that I can view it. 

I was calling the online people at the bank and the fraud department practically every other week. One person said it would take 6-8 weeks to process. Another person said dont worry since it was the same person on the {$500.00} check you should get your money back on the other two checks. 

One week ago, I got a hold of a bank supervisor with the fraud department and she said that she is going to put a rush on it since I have been waiting so long, 7 weeks, and gave me a new claim number : XXXX. She also said that it got directed to the wrong department at first and the online department should have handled this since it was a computer generated check. ( Someone also said he paid bills with these checks. I dont know how they know this. ) I got a call yesterday, XX/XX/2022, and after 8 weeks she said the online fraud department said they feel it wasnt a fraud and I am not going to get my money back. She also said I can re-file and tell them to check it over again.
