Company: TD BANK US HOLDING COMPANY
State: FL
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Managing an account
Sub-issue: Deposits and withdrawals

Complaint:
On XXXX XXXX, 2017 I filed a claim with TD Bank in regards to my debit card being used with taking cash from ATM 's on a daily basis. I have had this account for years and my activity on this account was very very limited. Easily said I hardly had any transaction on this account and never did cash withdrawals at an ATM. I filed this claim stating that TD bank allowed cash to be taken out on a daily basis until the money was gone in my account. The system should have noticed I never did ATM cash W/D and that this amount of activity was out of the normal for my account but they did not catch this problem. Within 24 hrs of filing this claim, TD bank contacts me saying they completed their investigation and found no error and that all the ATM transactions and a few XXXX point of sale transactions are valid. They claimed the activity was within my normal activity which is clearly not true as I have already stated I never did ATM cash W/D in the history of my account let alone the amount of spending taking place. Next, they claimed the card was used within my home area which in fact when researched the card was used at ATM 's located over 15 miles from my home and XXXX transaction took place over an hour from my home location. Every reason they gave for denying my claim was clearly false and can be proven by the years of activity on the account. Moreover, how is a proper investigation completed in 24 hours time? They refused to get photos from cameras where the transactions had been made. They asked me to get a police report and when I spoke to the police they said that the bank must first do a real investigation and that cleary my bank did not if they closed the claim with a 24 hr time frame. Even the police department said they never heard of an investigation being completed within 24 hours. TD bank has refused to issue me {$10000.00}. They even ignore the XXXX protection promise on the transactions made at retail locations using my card. It seem 's TD Bank feel 's they do not have to protect customers money nor does REG-E or XXXX fraud protection for the unauthorized transaction when card used in stores does not apply to TD Bank. It has been one-year fighting to get my money back and after countless emails from supposed TD Banks corporate office, all they tell me is to get a police report. I repeatedly told them what the police told me but it does not seem to matter to them what the police have to say. I feel these are just excuses for TD Bank to deny customers claims and especially when they are being dishonest for their reasons for denying my claim.

Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
Hi CFPB, thank you for your help in advance. Starting XXXX, 2021, I started to contact debt collector Portfolio Recovery to settle debt. Attached is copy of their email for lump sum settlement amount. This amount is already paid. The money already cleared from my bank. I disputed this with the credit reporting agency XXXX. I checked today XXXX. My credit report has been updated INACCURATELY. Portfolio agreed to accept less than the full amount to satisfy the full amount of debt but they are reporting my debt only paid 50 %. Therefore my report still indicate that I still owe 50 %. This is not what I agreed. Also, my understanding is that Portfolio will remove the tradeline from my credit report. So not only is Portfolio reporting this account inaccurately, they are still reporting it. This inaccuracy is harming me and my family. I am unable to co-sign for my kids ' student loans because of this inaccurate derogatory account. Please help me correct this. Thank you.

Complaint:
I am XXXX XXXX XXXX and I am submitting this complaint myself and there is no third party involved. Upon reviewing my updates, the incorrect information was still found in my reports which I believe has been taken care of due to the written appeals I sent. The last letter sent to Equifax was XX/XX/XXXX, but no response was ever received from them to date. Thus, their action has violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 USC Sections 1681i, which states that continued reports of the unverified information without any proof provided, within the time allowed by law, is not authorized. Below is the list of inquiry that is still reporting on my Credit Reports : XXXX-Date of XXXX  XX/XX/XXXX XXXX

Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: MA
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem when making payments
Sub-issue: Problem during payment process

Complaint:
Following up on a previously filed complaint against Discover Card : Thank you for your complaint XXXX about DISCOVER CARD. 

The company replied formally that they would return the unauthorized debits from my bank account if XXXX Bank provided the form they requested. A couple days later the investigations department at Discover called and said they would not return any money. The statement shows " reversed '' debits, but no reversal has occurred and the company has simply added to my account balance. 

This is yet another example of the company 's dishonesty, cloak and dagger policies to avoid being a fair creditor, and it has caused financial and emotional distress. 

My identity has been compromised. Almost all of the calls to Discover 's pay by phone line in XXXX lasted a minute at most, as shown on my phone records. XXXX 's investigation team said nobody can authorize an ACH debit in a minute or less. They also noted activity from different states ( Connecticut to XXXX ) occurring within 20 minutes, which would have been impossible for me to do.

Complaint:
I have been corresponding back and forth with Bank of America since XX/XX/2021 on an auto loan that was fraudulently obtained in my name. I have disputed this account numerous times with all 3 credit bureaus and each time Bank of America responds '' account verfied ''. I requested Bank Of America send me a method of verification and a validation of debt which they have refused to send. I have certfied mail with return receipts of correspondence with Bank Of America and the fraudulent account to which was never resolved.Under FCRA, By law, Bank of America is to follow procedures concerning fraudulent accounts to include providing consumer proof of debt ( validation of debt ) and the methods used to verify the debt.Bank of America was supposed to cease reporting this debt when i reported that it was fraudulent, instead Bank Of America kept reporting this debt as charged off on my credit report.On XX/XX/2021, Bank of America removed {$14000.00} from my account for this fraudulent debt that was never resolved.I 'm demanding Bank Of America put the {$14000.00} back into my account and remove the negative reporting from my credit report as Bank of America has not proven this is a valid debt and they had 30-45 days to do that.Under FCRA, if they have not proven a debt is valid, they can not report or collect on said debt.

Company: National Enterprise Systems, Inc.
State: NV
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: I do not know
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt was result of identity theft

Complaint:
When I was first notified of this fraudulent debt years ago, I notified the original collection company that my account had a fraud alert on the account and that I did not believe this was my account. The original debtor cancelled the debt years ago and sent the IRS documentation indicating the debt was forgiven and that I was to be taxably responsible for the forgiveness. I am now being harassed by a collection agency which has, I 'm guessing, purchased the account even though its already been written off and I 've already been held accountable for the tax forgiveness. My understanding is the original company was compensated by the government for the debt and therefore there is no debt to collect, Not to mention no one had ever provided me with any original wet signed documents indicating I was the original signor, which i asked for from the original creditor for years. 

I sent numerous emails and mailing to the original creditor which were never responded to within the 30 day timeframe and there were in violation of my consumer rights back then and now I am being harassed for a debt already forgiven.

Sub-issue: Credit card company won't increase or decrease your credit limit

Complaint:
SYNCB/WAL-MART XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, TX XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX The issuing bank reduced my credit line without notifying me of said reduction in credit line from {$500.00} to {$260.00} thus negatively impacting my credit score by raising the ratio of used credit to available credit through the reduction of available credit. This also put me over the credit limit and appears to be on the verge of over credit limit fees being applied. The notice was supposedly generated on XX/XX/XXXX and mailed. When called the company said the only option was a request to increase credit limit which was processed and denied and also will put another credit inquiry on my credit report. This was all discussed via telephone on Friday XX/XX/XXXX.

Under the FCRA, unverifiable accounts must be removed and if you are unable to provide me a copy of verifiable proof, they must remove the accounts. They never sent me proof and continue to report theses adverse accounts. I followed up after no action on XX/XX/2019 and requested for verification and that never happened. The accounts are still reporting and no answer to why.
