Company: TD BANK US HOLDING COMPANY
State: NY
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: Store credit card
Issue: Advertising and marketing, including promotional offers
Sub-issue: Confusing or misleading advertising about the credit card

Complaint:
I have a  XXXX   XXXX   XXXX  retail card issued by  TD Bank.  I was talked into taking advantage of the  6months no in terest a sofa i was interested. Purchased sofa  XXXX / XXXX / XXXX . Continued to make monthly payments until paying off balance on the website  XXXX / XXXX / XXXX . Seeing the website showed a zero balance, I assumed this balance was paid in full. I continued to receive emails of statements however i did n't think i had any reason to concern myself with the raymour account any longer.  XXXX   XXXX , i received an out of the ordinary letter in the mail telling me my account was past due and there was a {$260.00} balance that has been gaining interest and late fees since  XXXX / XXXX / XXXX .     I immediately called the  TD Retail  division that handles these types of accounts and asked for an explanation as to what had happened. After some investigation i was told my last  XXXX  bill was officially due on  XXXX / XXXX / XXXX  - I had paid the entire balance  XXXX / XXXX / XXXX  and there was changed aprox {$150.00} in accrued interest unbeknownst to me. The {$150.00} was n't charged to my account until the  XXXX  billing cycle. Having not being aware of this  TD Bank   XXXX   car d was no longer on my radar of monthly bills. The CS representative also explained to me the y TD is not oblig ated call customers with outstanding balances. I however found this outrageously deceptive and asked to speak to her supervisor because now i was n't so worried about the outstanding balance, I have cultivated excellent credit rating and now feared any marks against my credit. Having to wait 3 days for supervisor to call, i was in a meeting when he called and had to call back. I called back rou ghly 30minutes later and asked to speak w/ him as i was returning his call back. The representative wouldnt put him on the call and she was playing the part of a proxy to mediate this outcome. She told me they would take off 3 of the late charges however it the marks against my credit will stay. I had no   choice but to pay the remainder of the bill, and hopefully through you and dealing w/ the  credit score comp anies, transunion and equafax hopefully i can straighten this out. My credit went from  XXXX  to below  XXXX . In my opinion this is very deceptive business operations.   XXXX   XXXX   emails me almost weekly snapshots of my balance, and or any new charges to my account. Why wouldnt a credit card company that would see an account is in past due, not call the customer and follow up? Why would they be shady by telling me they are not obligated to practice such business?  XXXX / XXXX / XXXX  promotion ended - i paid  in 6days apparently late and now my credit is in shambles. This doesnt seem ethical.  Please help me.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: NJ
Product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on credit report
Sub-issue: Account status

Complaint:
Experian appears to be mishandling personal loan records as used to calculating FICO scores. I have recently restructured $ XXXX of debt. It has been more than 30 days since I have done so. Despite a basically perfect history of payments to my debt, several of the personal loans and credit cards lied about reporting in a timely fashion, suggested I would have to wait 90+ days for them to report, and after multiple disputes with Experian , XXXX and XXXX I 've finally gotten them all to reflect that I have less than {$400.00} of credit card debt at this time ( in actual fact it was {$0.00} until yesterday XX/XX/2016 ). I have been forced to pay $ XXXX a month to Experian and XXXX to track the status of their reviews and my accounts which have been repeatedly incorrect and in the case of at least XXXX account the incorrect balance cycled multiple times from {$14.00} to {$1000.00} all the while never being anything but {$0.00} for more than 30 days. I have now noticed twice that Experian has suddenly reduced my credit score by as much as XXXX points because first they do n't notice I have XXXX remaining personal loans ( XXXX auto loan, XXXX unsecured loans ). Then their own system explains they are deducting points from my score for having XXXX or XXXX personal loans. I have called twice on this matter. No one can explain why one part of their system says I have XXXX personal loans ( correct ) while the FICO score system reports I have currently XXXX personal loans ( incorrect ). Once their system does this, it is always a matter of 48 hours before myFICO reports the credit score deduction. I will attach a document to my complaint showing on their website the report of XXXX personal loans. It is not acceptable to me that I restructure my debt to gain control over {$1700.00} a month in income only to have my credit worthiness misrepresented by Experian who charges me a monthly fee of more than {$20.00} for the pleasure of making me chase them to report valid information.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: IN
Product: Credit reporting
Issue: Credit reporting company's investigation
Sub-issue: Investigation took too long

Complaint:
I have been dealing with all XXXX credit bureaus for almost a year. I also reached out to the companies reporting to validate the debt and neither one has done so. I gave them over 30days and nothing. XXXX act XXXX XX/XX/2010 and XXXX XXXX act XXXX XX/XX/2010 I want them both removed from all reporting agencies. I have disputed them so much that I ca n't even dispute them any more because they have supposidly been investigated but I have yet to receive any proof. Under law they had 30 days to show proof or delete it. Neither has been done. Also they will fall off XX/XX/XXXX on there own because they will be 7 years old. It should not be that hard to get things removed that have n't been proven in 30 days. Sending me a letter for identity theift like these companies did isnt validating a debt.

State: FL
Product: Credit reporting
Issue: Credit reporting company's investigation
Sub-issue: No notice of investigation status/result

Complaint:
My wife and I applied for a refinance in early XX/XX/XXXX of our Florida property and we were consequently denied because Bayview Loan Servicing LLC is now claiming that our loan modification was more than 180 days delinquent. This was not on the credit reports when we got the original mortgage loan in XX/XX/XXXX. Our account with Bayview ( XXXX ) has been paid as agreed since the contract started in XX/XX/XXXX. We have diligently been working with Bayview since XX/XX/XXXX and provided them with the necessary documentation to resolve this issue. We have supporting documents including a payment history from Bayview Loan Servicing showing pay as agreed and that our loan is current. We even filed a dispute with XXXX to have this remove from the credit report. XXXX is in agreement that the loan was paid as agreed. We had made several attempts at communications with Bayview 's customer service department only to get the same response that we need to send over the credit report to us to review and we will get back to you. This is has been happening for the past 2 months with no resolve in sight. Can some one please help us to resolve this as it is ruining out credit standing. Thank you!

Issue: Closing an account
Sub-issue: Can't close your account

Complaint:
I wrote a check for someone back in  XXXX     2016 a nd the person lost it. I reported this to bank of america and submitted an official claim.   A month or so later I noticed a fraudulent debit from my account ( made in  XXXX  while I was in  XXXX  - the check was stolen in  XXXX  ) and I alerted the bank. They told me to open another account and transfer my money over but keep the original account open as the refund for the check would go into there.   It 's now been 6 months since that happened, I still have not been refunded the check and my active account is constantly being charged the monthly fee for not having any funds  in it ( how can I  when it 's compromised?! ) as well as extended overdraft fees resulting from that.   At this rate the check amount ( a mere {$2 20.00} ) will not c over the fees I have been and continue to be charged by the bank. I feel this is being done on purpose and I am incredibly unhappy about it.
