Product: Credit card or prepaid card — Store credit card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: TD BANK US HOLDING COMPANY (NC)

I ordered a TV from XXXX XXXX in late XX/XX/XXXX and paid for it using XXXX XXXX ( TD Bank ). When it arrived, the screen was damaged so we received an XXXX to send it back, we also ordered the same TV again. XXXX XXXX received the TV on XX/XX/XXXX which I confirmed in a phone call with XXXX XXXX. I inquired about the refund and they said it would process in 7-14 days. The charges still appeared on my XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX ) account so I called XXXX XXXX again but they did not have any information because the warehouse processes the refunds and they only communicate using a computer system. I submitted a dispute for the transaction on the XXXX XXXX website on XX/XX/XXXX and followed up on XX/XX/XXXX but they could only say that the back office department was reviewing. I received multiple letters between XXXX and XXXX ( no company name or address on the letter, just Customer Service Department XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, NJ XXXX ) stating they were working to resolve my claim. The last letter dated XX/XX/XXXX was actually on TD Bank letterhead ( XXXX, NJ ) and stated they are still investigating my dispute claim. I called XX/XX/XXXX after receiving another statement showing the charges had not been removed. I spoke with XXXX who said that XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX ) had still not received a response from XXXX XXXX to confirm I had returned the merchandise. I asked to talk to a supervisor and XXXX was very rude and told me they couldn't refund my account because XXXX has the money and gave me some spiel about their agreement with XXXX. I expressed my frustration that it should not take this long when a simple call to XXXX would confirm the merchandise was returned. After talking to TD Bank, I called XXXX and talked to XXXX who confirmed that the TV was received XX/XX/XXXX and could not tell why the refund had not been processed. I was again told that there is no way to talk to the refund department but she would submit an escalation. This is definitely the worst experience I have had with a retailer and finance company.

Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC. (MA)

Midland is reporting in my credit file however it is inaccurate because it was said to be late, yet all the payments are OK. I do not think that this is mine. I did my research on what to do because it is affecting my scores to badly, I asked for documents, disclosure and where did the account come from but they failed to provide me, so I came online and researched. The plaintiff is asking the same thing that I wanted and at the end of it all the plaintiff won this case. I am talking about the Texas VS Midland Funding Case. I have learned that Midland claims to have a disclosure and an agreement that there is a Consumer Agreement for all who they are collecting from. I guarantee you that there is no such thing that I have agreed upon to.

Product: Checking or savings account — CD (Certificate of Deposit)
Issue: Managing an account — Problem with fees or penalties
Company: PENTAGON FEDERAL CREDIT UNION (NC)

I opened an inherited IRA last year with Penfed and opted to place all funds from the IRA in a 7 year inherited IRA CD. The IRS requires that all funds are disbursed out the non spouse inherited ira within 10 years so I decided that I will begin taking disbursement on year 7 after the cd matures. I called penfed in response to a letter about ira tax withholdings I received from them. They said they are requiring me to take a distribution each year in equal payments for 10 years. I told them that I would like to wait a few years after my cd matures to take distribution. Apparently this is a penfed rule that was not explained nor written anywhere in my documents I received from them. And if thats their rules, thats fine but I should have been given some type of notice about it. I immediately requested to transfer funds to a different financial institution that will allow me to take funds out at anytime as long as the account is depleted by the 10th year per IRS guidelines. Penfed said that I would lose all interest if I transfer money out of the account before maturity but they can withdraw funds each year out of my account before maturity as a distribution. It was not explained to me that penfed could take funds out my account before maturity for distribution even though it is not required until the 10th year. They also said they will send me a letter explaining this but I should have received a letter about when opening the account. It is not my wishes to transfer to another financial institution but the deceptive practice of withdrawing money out my cd because of a penfed rule is extremely unfair and I shouldnt pay penalty fees. I will forfeit all interest earned in the CD if I transfer my money elsewhere because of their deception of not disclosing that they will withdraw money out my ira cd each year.

Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low — Overdrafts and overdraft fees
Company: TD BANK US HOLDING COMPANY (FL)

TD Bank 's new attempts to assess {$35.00} overdraft fees based on a lapse in time of funds in an account on the same day versus the old banking practice of being negative overnight is anti - consumer to the extreme and MUST be stopped. 

Those of us XXXX XXXX know all banks books need to be balanced to -XXXX- at the end of each day. A bank is never truly at a loss even in typical cases of overdrafts lingering on overnight or for days. 

But, TD trying to say a loss has occurred within minutes or hours is absolutely horrific. Can us consumers be raped and pillaged even more by this egregious banking system? 

Congress or whomever really needs to nip this TD policy in the bud. It is not acceptable whatsoever.

Company: ECMC GROUP, INC. (IA)

See attached letter. 

In short, a third-party with questionable standing attempted to garnish my wages. I appealed, listing a number of objections. The appeal was conducted by Educational Credit Management Corporation, and was mishandled in the following ways : 1 ) The collection agency made no showing that requirements under 20 U.S.C. 1095a, et seq. had been met. 

2 ) I was denied appropriate procedural due process.

3 ) The lender did not produce my complete file, in fact produced almost no evidence, and the unproduced evidence should have been ( but was not ) viewed through the lens of adverse inference.

4 ) The decision relied on prejudicially incorrect or misleading Findings of Fact.

There is an outstanding balance on the card that I do not agree with. The card balance is less than 3 months old and I have received no fewer than 8 calls daily from the company in relation to this debt. They will not provide me with options other than to pay over the phone and refuse to quit calling. I wish to settle this debt with the company it is owed to not this agency. They will not provide me with that information and call incessantly from multiple numbers. It feels overkill and harassing.
