Issue: Fraud or scam — 
Company: SANTANDER HOLDINGS USA, INC. (MA)

I have an unacceptable problem with Santander Bank. In XX/XX/2023, I linked my wife 's XXXX XXXX to my Santander bank for money transfer. It was successfully linked ( proof of the email attached ) and I initiated the XXXX XXXXXXXX money transfer after receiving the successful link confirmation email. Then it triggered the freeze alert from Santander bank. I called them 5+ times about allowing the transaction since it's valid transaction and I followed all the procedure required. All of their call center representative couldn't understand why it was on hold and how to solve the problem. I even visited the local branch and the local representative called their back-end office and still couldn't solve the problem at all. One person called me to apologize for the bad call experience after I gave them bad survey result. However, the hold is still there. OK, then I waited and hope they can eventually solve the problem, but the time given to Santander doesn't help anything. After a month, the freeze on my money transfer function is still there and I had to call them again yesterday ( XXXX ). A gentleman asked me to provide my wife 's bank statement and our marriage certificate to lift the hold and I did. I called Santander again this morning to finish the fraud alert clearance per the gentleman 's guidance. Surprisingly, the lady told me that the freeze of my money transfer function is permanent and can't be lifted forever. This is completely unacceptable and doesn't make sense at all. First of all, it was a false fraud alert. I followed all the required steps to link the account, and I did receive the success confirmation before I initiated the transfer. Secondly, I provided the required document to prove that's valid account and relationship as well. Why can't Santander remove their false alert and block me to do money transfer forever?

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: Maximus Federal Services, Inc. (AL)

I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate information that has been reported on my credit report by Aidvantage - Federal Student Aid Loan Servicing. This concerns my student loan account accounts.

My credit report indicates that my student loan payments were on time for XXXX and XX/XX/2019. However, inexplicably, for XX/XX/2019, it is reported as being XXXX  days late. This progression is illogical and indicates a clear error, as it is impossible for an account to be current and then suddenly XXXX  days delinquent within a XXXX period. This inconsistency in reporting further substantiates the inaccuracy of the information provided by the servicer. 

Moreover, the report of a XXXX late payment in XX/XX/2019 is inaccurate as I was enrolled in XXXX XXXX XXXX at the time, making my loan eligible for deferment. Under the terms of my student loan and federal regulations governing student loans, my loan payments should have been deferred while I was enrolled in school.

This inaccurate reporting constitutes a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically : 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), which requires furnishers of information to credit reporting agencies to provide accurate information.

15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ), which outlines the responsibilities of the credit reporting agencies to conduct a reasonable investigation upon receiving a dispute from a consumer.

Despite my attempts to resolve this issue directly with Aidvantage, including providing proof of my enrollment in school, they have refused to correct this error. This ongoing inaccuracy is not only a violation of the FCRA but is also adversely affecting my credit score and, consequently, my financial well-being.

Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low — Overdrafts and overdraft fees
Company: TD BANK US HOLDING COMPANY (NY)

On XX/XX/XXXX, my bank account had no overdraft. I had {$63.00} left in my account. In transactions from XXXX XXXX XXXX, merchants received their money. I checked my account on XX/XX/XXXX, and my account had an overdraft of {$170.00}. I realized TD Bank reposted old transactions that came out prior to the XXXX. TD Bank then accumulated transactions from XXXX XXXX. I inquired about it via phone call. The rep stated the transaction that caused the overdraft was a payment to XXXX XXXX of {$230.00} and some prior transactions from XX/XX/XXXX. I explained to the rep that I have overdraft protection, and if my account didn't have the funds, it would've been rejected. The rep confirmed I have overdraft protection and then stated the payment of {$230.00} will return on XX/XX/XXXX and my account will be back to normal. I explained to the rep that this payment was made on Friday, XX/XX/XXXX, and it came out. I had the funds for every transaction that occurred. The rep stated that the app doesn't reflect the correct amount available. I stated that if an app isn't working correctly, it's a TD Bank error, not the customer 's fault. On XX/XX/XXXX, an overdraft remained, and the payment of {$230.00} did not revert back. I called again and spoke to XXXX reps and XXXX supervisor. Both of these representatives stated I don't have overdraft protection ; the overdraft came from the order for the posted transactions and mentioned XXXX different names of the type of overdraft I needed and gave me misinformation. XXXX XXXX stated he's the highest in the company and there's nothing he can do. I explained to him that he's not the highest in the company ; this is TD Bank 's fault and their faulty app. TD Bank continues to falsely advertise to customers that the app is accurate and reflects the correct balance. TD reposted the old and new transactions, which deceptively gave a reason for the overdraft. 

TD Bank unlawfully charges overdraft fees for transactions that didn't cause it and had the sufficient funds for the transactions.
