Company: BANK OF THE WEST
State: CA
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Closing an account
Sub-issue: Company closed your account

Complaint:
We received a letter purportedly from Bank of the West dated XX/XX/XXXX stating that they needed to update our information or they would close our account on XX/XX/XXXX. We believed the letter to be fraudulent because it was clearly a copy and had no signature line -- it did not look like other letters we had received from the bank in the past. Also, it said the bank had made " multiple attempts to contact '' us and we knew that was not true. On XX/XX/XXXX my husband went to our local branch ( XXXX XXXX ) with the letter and asked to speak to a manager. He spoke to one XXXX XXXX who made a phone call and then said the letter was legitimate. He confirmed my husband 's information and said he would need to speak to me personally to confirm mine, but that it could be done on the phone. The same day Mr. XXXX and I spoke by phone ; we updated my contact information, which was indeed out of date ( but my husband 's was NOT out of date ), and I gave him my CA driver 's license number and expiration date. He told us we were all set. On XX/XX/XXXX my husband went to the branch to deposit his paycheck, and was told he did not have an account there. He asked to speak the manager, who said he didn't know what had happened, but that our accounts had been closed. Our checking account there is used for all of our automatic payments, my automatic paycheck deposit, and has one check outstanding ( # XXXX written on XX/XX/XXXX ). That same day I phoned the number on the letter we had thought was fraudulent, asking to speak with XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ). He said our account closure had been initiated by the bank branch. He said a check for our funds was sent out. We asked how it was sent out, and he said because of the amount ( around {$250000.00}, our live savings ), it would " probably '' be sent by XXXX not by regular mail. Except we are not at our address, we are at my mother 's house, staying for an extended period. We asked what the tracking number was, they didn't know. We asked if a signature was required, they didn't know. We asked if ANYBODY could just sign for it or if ID would be required, they didn't know. They said they would get back to us on it and did not.

Company: TD BANK US HOLDING COMPANY
State: IL
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: Store credit card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement
Sub-issue: Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement

Complaint:
In early 2022, I opened a Target XXXX XXXX XXXX I was given a credit line that was insufficient for my needs and was told that if I prepaid ahead of charges I would a ) be able to spend more, and b ) would accelerate and increase the likelihood of recieving automatic credit line increases. 

I made a payment in-store via prepaid debit cards that do not allow credits after activation. 

My last payment was made in XXXX of 2022 totaling {$22000.00} -- XXXX payments in the amount of {$490.00} per prepaid debit card. The payment was made in-store. 

Not long after Target called me and informed me that my account was closed for excessive payments, despite the phone rep telling me that it was an approved method for increasing spending power and was viewed as a positive action by the bank. 

They informed me that they would be refunding the credit balance on the account via a check to the mailing address on file. The prepaid debit cards have been disposed of and they do not accept credits after the initial activation. 

Months after the incident Target informed me that they decided to return the payments to the original payment method despite them having to go out of the way to do this and process 46 individual refunds. This is inconsistent with standard practice, both for Target and for the industry standard. After the funds have cleared and the hold period has elapsed, a check is typically issued to the address on file. Target refuses to correct their mistake and says that I need to call the prepaid debit issuer. Target went out of their way to cause this issue, will not even provide proof that the funds were sent, and will not issue the check they had promised to issue as of Saturday XX/XX/2022. 

The reps claim that this is standard practice in instances where they refund a credit balance on the account, however that is not the case.

Sub-issue: Public record information inaccurate

Complaint:
XX/XX/XXXX I filed a complaint to the CFPB stating that TransUnion is falsely reporting a bankruptcy and that I would like it removed. They took 60 to complete the investigation responding with very little information and stated in the complaint they would send me a copy of the updated information on my credit report through mail. I never received the credit report. One month later, I called TransUnion to request a copy of my credit report and they still have not sent it to me. XX/XX/XXXX I tried XXXX to receive a copy only for them to tell me there was an open dispute on my credit report and I couldn't receive one. So i used my XXXX report, from XXXX XXXX to retrieve the report only to see that TransUnion is still reporting that the US Bankruptcy Court XXXX XXXX, GA is reporting the bankruptcy. I have enclosed a copy of the letter I wrote to the courts as well as the letter they sent back stating they do not report information to the credit bureaus. I wrote a letter to XXXX requesting a report and they stated in their letter, if the bankruptcy way before XXXX, TransUnion was using XXXX who verifies their bankruptcy information through PACER. I have enclosed a letter from XXXX showing they could not verify the information and they deleted the bankruptcy. They also deleted it from my XXXX XXXX XXXX. So I am confused as to who the furnisher is at this point. And seeing how they are falsely reporting this its in violation of my consumer rights 1681 ( a ) ( b ) to privacy and accuracy. At this time i am requesting that your agency hold TransUnion accountable and reinvestigate this matter and update the results, otherwise i am following up with my atty.

Complaint:
I have directly attempted to resolve this matter directly with this company, however they have continued to ignore my correspondence while they violate federal laws. LVNV Funding has failed to provide lawful validation of this alleged debt, they have failed to provide their method of verification of this alleged debt, they failed to update this account to have been under dispute in the past and are reporting inaccurate information associated with this account like open account on my consumer reports. Each of these are blatant violations of federal law actively being committed. I am engaging the CFPB to aid me in the enforcement of my protected rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act and Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. I will be enforcing my rights to obtain remedy for all damages caused by this company. Pursuant 15 USC 1692k and 15 USC 1681o there is no limit on monetary relief I can relief for all proved damages.
