Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Problem with personal statement of dispute
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (MN)

Hello, This is the fourth or fifth time that I must contact this agency to fix the issue. This is not customer friendly or consumer-oriented. The company 'XXXX  XXXX XXXX illegally opened two accounts in my name instead of one. Proceeded to split charges between two accounts, while only sending paper statements for one. Represented that the account was fully paid off with a credit limit of {$1000.00}. Meanwhile, the other account was overdue with a credit limit of only {$300.00}. The website they provided to the consumer was NOT operational and the consumer could not log in. The consumer sensed something was wrong and submitted numerous tickets through XXXX XXXX online portal to alert the company that the user could not log in to view statements and that only statement of {$0.00} due was being sent. Finally, the consumer called 'XXXX  XXXX XXXX to find out what is going on, at that time XXXX XXXX has finally admitted that there were two accounts and one was past due collecting fees well beyond the credit limit. The consumer paid off the actual amount due for the item purchased and refused to pay the late fees due to the illegal practices of the company and misinformation. The consumer also requested that all of the accounts be closed immediately. 

The company 'XXXX  XXXX XXXX, instead of waiving fees, recorded the account as 'C/O ' at {$480.00} and stated that they are the ones that initiated the account closure. Not only that, but the company 2 years later are also still reporting this account as 'C/O ' misrepresenting that the card is open/active. 

The company 's XXXX XXXX XXXX ) justification for this illegal practice was that it provided consumer statements via email. The consumer has provided copies and documents of these emails which contain no statement information. The only information they contain is a link to the account with verbiage that the statement is ready. This does not provide any indication to the consumer about any issues or amounts due. 


At this point in seeking resolution for over two years, my rights as the consumer have been severely violated by damaging my credit score and continuously reporting erroneous information to the credit bureaus.

Company: TD BANK US HOLDING COMPANY (CA)

I have obtained XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, offered by TD BANK, N.A approximately a month ago, for the purpose of making a  XXXX product purchase. Shortly thereafter, I've received from TD BANK, N.A the attached privacy notice, which in summary says they will share my personal information with 3rd parties for  marketing and other purposes, unless I instruct them NOT to do so, by calling the phone number, listed on the attached notice. Until this day, TD BANK, N.A had failed to pick up their phone - I have called for 3 weeks straight, every day, using the number provided and 2 more general TD BANK, N.A phone numbers for customer service and account management. I've waited HOURS on hold each time, with some calls lasting over 4 hours only to be disconnected by TD BANK, N.A at the end, without picking up. By failing to EVER pick up their phone TD BANK, N.A disallows me to-opt out from sharing of  my personal information by them, even though according to federal and California privacy laws I have a right to limit the sharing. This is violation of my privacy. 


Additionally, I attempted to register for XXXX XXXX online account, provided by TD BANK, N.A as instructed by email XXXX and TD BANK , N.A . The registration failed due to programmatic issues and site design oversight. As a result, I'm not able to access, view any of my personal or financial information, associated with my TD BANK, N.A account, and also unable to view or pay any bills. As stated above - I had been calling TD BANK, N.A 's customer service and other TD BANK, N.A numbers FOR WEEKS, every day, but TD BANK, N.A is failing to answer any of its  calls and remains completely inaccessible to me, its customer. 

I request CFPB 's help to STOP TD BANK, N.A from abusing my personal information and to penalize TD BANK, N.A for making itself completely unavailable to its customers to both, exercise privacy choices and handle issues, related to TD BANK, N.A account, including reviewing and paying bills.

Company: CHECKredi of Kentucky, LLC (MA)

I use XXXX gas rewards, which requires a bank account to be linked. When I changed banks, I forgot to switch this account. When a gas charge was not able to go through, rather than simply informing me I need to update my payment information ( like any other company I've ever done business with! ), the payment was referred to the debt collector CheckRedi who immediately charged a {$35.00} fee. When I called they staunchly refused to waive the fee stating it was in the terms of service. XXXX also passed the buck to CheckRedi and said nothing can be done. Given I just got married and changed a variety of accounts and credit cards, I inevitably forgot a few accounts and didn't have updated payment information on file for a few recurring charges. In every other instance, as you would expect, I was informed by the business that I needed to update my payment information which I promptly did. Charging a {$35.00} fee for this and pointing to fine print in terms of service for gas rewards that no one would ever read is so absurd it's hard to put in words. This is an exorbitant and exploitative business practice that should be immediately stopped. I would be filing complaints with the MA Attorney General and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau as well.

Company: PENTAGON FEDERAL CREDIT UNION (MD)

We submitted an application with PENFED to refi under a VA Interest Rate Reduction Loan. The loan officer asked us our goal and we told him shorter term, and lower rate. Within a few days, he comes back and says please " great news your guys qualify for the lower rate of 2.75 but they wanted us to refi for a longer term. When I questioned the term, he put it on the VA and said they would not approve a shorter term if the refi resulted in a higher monthly PI. Therefore, I contacted the VA and was informed that was not the case. The VA loan specialist informed us that we could in fact lower our terms but lenders do not want too because they can not charge the veterans any fee 's. I went back several times and informed the lender but they kept pushing for a 30-year term, which would benefit them tremendously. Unscrupulous business practices like this should not be tolerated. They are trying to force veterans into longer terms, which lead to more money for the lender. Once I provided him with the VA circular, which governs how lenders handle VA IRRRLs he finally, fessed up to not being able to refi because they can not charge us some of the associated fee. Bad business practices and there is no telling how many veterans get taking advantage of. I am a XXXX veteran who served my country proudly for over 28 years.
