Company: TD BANK US HOLDING COMPANY
State: NJ
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Managing an account
Sub-issue: Fee problem

Complaint:
I have an issue with my bank, TD Bank. I am new to them, opened a checking account with a debit card in XX/XX/XXXX. Over the Labor Day weekend, while I was away from home, I used the card to purchase gasoline, paying at the pump. The bank authorized those charges. When I checked my account, there was enough money in the account to fund the charges ; however, by Tuesday ( XX/XX/XXXX ) evidently, the Bank only authorized the charges for {$1.00} and when the full amounts were withdrawn the account went negative for ( 2 ) other charges that they authorized. I was charged {$70.00} for ( 2 ) charges ( {$35.00} each ) on a balance that was negative by {$53.00}. I made the account current by XX/XX/XXXX when I became aware of the situation. I called and asked them, under the circumstances, if they could re-credit my account for those charges. They told me that they had already credited my account in XX/XX/XXXX and that I was not eligible. I then spoke to supervisor, " XXXX '' who was not helpful, kept repeating the same line over and over and would not escalate the matter to his supervisor. Finally, they told me that someone from their " Customer Care '' center would call me within ( 2 ) days but I have not received a call from them.
I do n't see how they can " clear '' charges at a gas station in the moment for {$1.00}, then wait several days to actually clear the full charges and then, charge me fees when it goes negative. This seems fraudulent in my mind. Its a way to trick you into incurring fees. I would like to get my {$70.00} in fees returned to me.

Sub-issue: Funds not handled or disbursed as instructed

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2023 in the afternoon before bank closing time the bank manager located on XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX, NY XXXX refused to allow the withdrawal of funds when given a photo identification and other proof of identification at the branch location. The funds in the bank are in the amounts of {$320.00} savings and {$5.00} checking. Both bankers were very rude, and questioned me regarding the transactions on my account. They suggested that I was receiving illegal money for the deposits made to the account, each of the deposits are the same payor as it has been for the last five years. The bank was abusive to me, made me sit in the middle of the bank while the manager went into her office and then came out questioning me in front of other customers about by account. She then said she had a " meeting '' and that I would have to wait. The next person who came out to assist then took me over to a cubicle where the identification and transaction confirmation, statement review was done to show that there have been several deposits made and this is not illegal for someone to have money in their bank account. Being this person was supposed to be a banker, I should not have had to explain myself regarding why I had money in my bank. The questions were innappropriate and the banker was very abusive. She refused to allow me to have access to my own money or bank account and she is a contributor to human trafficking in New York state. I have been humiliated and assaulted as a result of this and other incidents regarding my own personal bank accounts.

Complaint:
According to 15 U.S. Code 1681, Congressional purposes, it is the purpose of this subchapter to require that consumer reporting agencies adopt reasonable procedures for meeting the needs of commerce for consumer credit, personnel insurance, and other information in a manner which is fair and equitable to the consumer, with regard to the confidentiality, accuracy, relevancy, and proper utilization of such information in accordance with the requirements of this subchapter. There exists an obligation for the credit reporting agencies to conduct themselves in a manner that is fair and equitable to me. The continuous reporting of such information deems an improper utilization of my information, which directly conflicts Congressional purposes and reasonable procedures. Prove that I received the delivery of goods ; come to my home and search for the goods they say I received possessions of goods of or come and see my computer or tap into my bank account so you can see what these alleged possessions are as is the requirement under 15. U.S. Code 1681 c-2 ( c ) ( 1 ) ( C ). Please prove this! XXXX is not admissible. This is according to the federal rules of procedure and evidence! 
Therefore, these accounts must be removed. You can not lawfully prove that I received a delivery of good, services and money. These accounts are not related to transactions by me, the consumer, therefore, as a result of this identity theft, these accounts must be removed and blocked.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I attempted to temporarily remove the freeze on my Equifax credit report online, but was unable to do so. I then called Equifax 's automated security freeze number, went through the security verification process and was still unable to temporarily remove the security freeze on my account. Next, I called the customer services number, ( XXXX ) XXXX, specified on Equifax 's website to request they temporarily remove the security freeze from my report. The agent asked for my full name and social security number and my full current address. I told him I have my unlock PIN, which he informed Equifax no longer uses to freeze/unfreeze reports. So, instead, he asked me various questions which " only I would know '' pertaining to my credit report. 

The agent asked me to list off all credit/department store cards I have ever had, as listed on my report and estimated balances of those accounts as they would appear on my report. Fortunately, I was/am able to access my Equifax credit report through XXXX, so was able to provide the agent with all of the cards and balances as they appear on my report. He then asked me to provide him with the dates and amounts of last payments made to my credit cards, which I read off to him from my XXXX Bank Online Banking platform. Finally, he asked if I had ever disputed the information on my credit report and when. I stated I believed I had disputed a " late payment '' as reported by Bank XXXX XXXX, but was unsure of the date, as it was some time ago. 

The agent then processed the information I provided and informed he was unable to verify my account. I am consistently able to lock and unlock my reports with both XXXX and XXXX with ease, however always run into trouble with Equifax. Usually, I am able to process my request with Equifax by calling into their automated security freeze telephone system, however this time none of the three methods attempted worked. 

Equifax was responsible for my information being leaked during their 2017 Data Breach. As a result, I have spent countless hours ensuring my financial information was secure and have been victim to thousands of dollars worth of attempted fraudulent transactions on my bank/credit card accounts. Given this, the fact that they are unable to verify my credit report details as belonging to me is extremely disturbing -- unacceptable, really. 

Having reasonable and easy access to one 's credit report is vital in order to successfully apply for credit. Instead, Equifax is making me send them a copy of my Drivers License and Social Security Card via fax ( NOT SECURE ) for them to verify my identity and unfreeze my account. 

A company so incompetent should not be allowed to continue to exist and regulate the financial reporting of millions of Americans.
