Consumer complaint received 2019-07-03
Company: TD BANK US HOLDING COMPANY
State: NV
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: Store credit card
Issue: Fees or interest
Sub-issue: Problem with fees

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX we purchased furniture from XXXX XXXX in XXXX, Nv on a credit card interest free contract with TD Bank Retail Card Services. When i received the bill I noticed charges were more than the sale price. XXXX refused to do anything about it. So, rather than fight with them I took the balance due, divided by the months that I had to pay off before interest would be accrued less one month to insure it would be paid off by due date. That came to {$75.00} a month as of statement balance on XXXX of {$1500.00}. Due date to pay off before interest accrued is XX/XX/XXXX. I set up auto payments with my bank to pay on second wednesday of every month to insure that payment would be received before the XXXX due date on statement. I received a letter from TD retail card services informing me that I owed XXXX more on my next payment plus {$83.00} minimum payment. I called them and they said because my payment was XXXX short of the {$83.00} required each month they charged me XXXX fee. The rep did say that it wasn't a late fee because they did receive my payment on time. The fee was because my payment was short by {$8.00}. They charged me this fee for two months. The rep was very rude and would not reverse the charges and she then said that they required XXXX a month. By requiring this amount of payment they are actually shortening my contract by three months!! Statement balance without fees as of This is fraud at its best. Instead of my contract having a due date of XX/XX/XXXX they are collecting to pay off contract by XX/XX/XXXX. This is a breach of contract!!! How can they be allowed to do such illegal practices? Because you are a government entitiy, I hope you will look into this matter. This is illegally changing a contract to their likings and advantage. This is criminal.

State: TX
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX, my credit was ran without my permission. I had been lied to and deceived by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, who had already previously ran my credit on XX/XX/XXXX. There was no need or permission given to Nissan to run my credit check a second time. As a result of Nissan 's violated action against me, my account received multiple hard credit inquiries from various auto lenders, which stay on your credit for 2 years, not to mention a reduction in credit score. I have attempted to contact Nissan, lenders, and credit bureaus, but I have only gotten the runarounds between these entities, with no resolution in sight. I was even told to file a police report from one credit bureau against these lenders if they were not willing to cooperate with me and help me remove unauthorized inquiries from my credit. I have not filed a report and hope that my complaint here will be resolved successfully, without any need to file a police report against these lenders- especially since Nissan was the one in charge and at fault in allowing this to happen. What's so disheartening is that after I was lied to by a Nissan rep and he ran my credit against my knowledge and permission, I was told by his boss that he would help me resolve the duplicate and erroneous hard inquiries made into my credit report ; but he flat out lied as well, and that left me with little to no option unfortunately.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Problem with personal statement of dispute

Complaint:
To whom this may concern : The Company Synchrony Bank has reported inaccurate information on my credit report. The problem with this company is that they tend to charge late fees generated by the billing software, according to the Customer Representative I spoke with on XX/XX/XXXX. I informed her that I paid in advance in reference to the XXXX statement {$210.00} for payment due on XX/XX/XXXX, in the amount of {$60.00}. XXXX payment due {$56.00}, XXXX payment due {$56.00}, and XXXX payment due XXXX $ XXXX $ XXXX $ XXXX $ XXXX {$12.00} owing for XXXX. There was a payment made toward 's the remaining balance of XXXX payment of {$12.00}. A {$25.00} was paid on XX/XX/XXXX, which left a credit balance of {$13.00} to go towards the XXXX payment due on the XXXX. I made the young lady aware of the advance payment, and she indicated that their contract says that I can not pay in advance. I have never agreed to or signed any contract that says I can not pay my credit card bill in advance. I am appalled that they reported on all three credit agencies 30 days late for XX/XX/XXXX. This is an unethical practice. She indicated she could remove the late fees and that she would file an investigation. However, they are reporting that I am past due, which is not true ; I am current. I appreciate it if this matter is resolved promptly. I have attached for you to review the statements. Synchrony Bank closed my account back in XX/XX/XXXX, when I inquired about them reporting late fees in XXXX and XXXX of XXXX. Their explanation was due to " lack of real estate secured loan information, no open back cards in my file, unpaid collections, the average time since revolving accounts opened is too recent, the number of inquiries was a factor in determining a score. '' Which I find appalling because my accounts are not late or past due. I have a 3-year car loan paid on time, a line of credit of {$1.00} XXXX I had for 2 years, and other major credit cards I had for a year or two that are all current or XXXX balance, and they are not closed.

I disputed derogatory reporting on my credit reports by Federal Loan Servicing on XX/XX/XXXX. My dispute shows proof that I was never XXXX, XXXX or 180 days late on my student loans from XXXX.

Company: LoanCare, LLC
State: IL
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
My mortgage was recently transferred to Loancare ( a XXXX XXXX ). I have an escrow account for my real estate taxes and homeowners ' insurance, the first installment being due on XX/XX/19. I have two PINs assigned to my home and lot. I received a notice in XXXX that a payment had been made to one PIN, the additional lot portion of my property. On XX/XX/XXXX, I initiated a call to Loancare and was given the option of entering my number to receive a call back. I did so and was never called back. On XX/XX/XXXX, I called again, reached a representative, who understood my issue and was assured that the other tax bill would be paid by XX/XX/XXXX ( which would be late ). Today, XX/XX/XXXX, I checked to see that the taxes had still not been paid and initiated another phone call. The representative informed me that there was no notation in my file about this issue, but went ahead and made arrangements for the bill to be paid. He felt that it should be about a week and I should check back. I asked if I could be given a reference number and was told that was not necessary. At this time, I don't know whether a payment will be initiated or not, but it is already overdue. Further, I believe that they have transposed the PINs and amounts so that they are reserved, which my taxing body seems to have figured out when applying what was actually paid.
