Product: Credit card — 
Issue: Billing disputes — 
Company: TD BANK US HOLDING COMPANY (MI)

I purchased an Ultra HD TV 4K XXXX '' Flat Screen from Target in XXXX, 2016 by applying for a credit card and had this item charged on this card with this company. The first statement would start in XXXX, 2016 and the monthly payments will occur on the XXXX of each month. The Initial balance was {$600.00}. The minimum payment amount is {$25.00} of which I paid $ XXXX/month before the due date for each month that I paid. I would say that my payment was made around the XXXX of each month for each payment. I was never late and never made the payment on the due date, which is XX/XX/XXXX. The payment was always made before the statement due date. 
I noticed on the second statement, which was XXXX/XXXX/16, that I was charged an interest rate of {$10.00} and after XX/XX/2016, I was charged an interest rate in addition to paying a $ XXXX/payment which is XXXX % of what the minimum payment which was required. 
Listed below are the monthly payments made and the interest charged : XXXX/XXXX/2016 {$100.00} paid {$0.00} interest charged XXXX/XXXX/2016 {$100.00} paid {$10.00} interest charged XXXX/XXXX/2016 {$100.00} paid {$9.00} interest charged XXXX/XXXX/2016 {$100.00} paid {$3.00} interest charged XXXX/XXXX/XXXX {$100.00} paid {$5.00} interest charged XXXX/XXXX/2016 will pay balance of {$100.00} {$3.00} interest charged This last payment will pay the balance in full. Calculating what the final balance is, which Target says that I owe {$140.00}, I still calculate an additional charge of {$10.00}, which is in addition to the {$3.00} interest charged listed above. I should only owe {$100.00} not {$140.00}. 
I believe that Target is double charging me interest on this item. It is my understanding that the interest rate, which is 23.15 % is to be included in the minimum payment of {$25.00}. However, I am paying $ XXXX/month and I should not be charged any additional interest fees. In addition I am paying before the statement due date and especially when I am paying over the minimum amount due/month. When I asked the customer service rep and talked to a manager and asked where is this additional interest fee is coming from especially when I am paying XXXX % over the minimum amount they provided information that did not make any sense. 
Therefore, I am requesting that the total of {$42.00} or any additional interest rate at the time of this final payment be removed from my account and I should only owe {$100.00} balance on this bill due XXXX/XXXX/2016. And I am asking to investigate Target regarding this double-dipping of interest fees being charged to myself and possible other potential customers. I am not sure that other customers are experiencing this but it needs to be investigated.

Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive notice of right to dispute
Company: Continental Finance Company, LLC (AL)

On XX/XX/XXXX, I received notification through the XXXX XXXX Sheriffs Department concerning a lawsuit by XXXX XXXX, XXXX. After reading over the summons, the only information supplied by this company to the court is an affidavit. Until XX/XX/XXXX, I never heard of this company not to mention had any contact with this company by telephone, mail nor email. I contacted this company the same day to find out what this lawsuit is pertaining to and the female refused to give me any information and I advised her that this court summons do not advise me of anything. She advised me very coldly that they sent me a letter back in XXXX. I asked her could she send me a copy of this letter she advised me that she can put in a request but doubt if it will be approved. I never had any business with this company what so ever. XXXX Associates never notified me in writing or by telephone or email concerning an debt. An Affidavit submitted to the court alone does not constitute that XXXX XXXX own this debt. XXXX XXXX failed to prove the following : 1 ) that it owns this debt ; 2 ) an itemize ledger of what I owe ; and XXXX ) the terms of my account. XXXX XXXX failed to send an Validation Notice to me and allow me the thirty days of the date of the validation notice to dispute the debt. 
This company went straight to filing a lawsuit without first validating the debt, which violates the following : Fair Debt Collection Practices Act 808. Unfair practices 809. Validation of debts I am asking that this company be investigated because clearly they're not following the FDCPA.

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX : XXXX XXXX XXXX- I have disputed this collection more than once from all credit bureaus. I also sent a BBB complaint to the original creditor where they in fact adjusted the breakdown even though it was not correct, the credit bureaus are reporting {$1100.00} more than what is owed to the company per their break down. Even though it should be even less than that. I want this removed from my credit as ALLEGED DEROGATORY REMARKS DEFICIENT OF REQUIRED PROOF OF ADEQUATE FEDERAL REPORTING COMPLIANCE, NAMELY METRO 2 AND THE FCRA STANDARDS.

The last dispute I submitted I attached a copy of the companies final response showing {$480.00} plus cleaning fee due which in fact is still incorrect as the company overcharged me for 12 months on my lease and they required me to pay a late fee many times when there should have been a credit. Since the Bureus did not valide the debt to it 's intirety as I requested more than once, I want it deleted and removed from my credit report. per the Fair Credit reporting act, namely section 609 a1A, it is in CLARITY that you are MANDATED to retain COMPLIANCE at all times, particularly upon notification by an infringed consumer that you are deficient of your requisites toreport adequately and a challenge ( or dispute ) is lodged versus any data iformation previously NOT proven PHYSICALLY to be affirmed valid or is UNABLE to be demonstrated as true, accurate, complete, timely, and otherwise fully compliant to laws upon a documented declaration of concern by the consumer.I demand, as is MY RIGHTS to do so and as is your REQUIREMENT to satisfy, for you to ANNUL by deletion or removal any and all allegations DEFICIENT of PHYSICAL EVIDENCE OF COMPLIANCE to reporting laws much less verified and valid.If you are unwilling or UNABLE to do so in a federally defined TIMELY manner you MUST rectify your infractions by RETURNING TO or retaining federal reporting COMPLIANCE TODAY, even RIGHT NOW.As such, I DEMAND that you CERTIF.ICATE the verification and validity of the following claims or DELETE NOW.

Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: SUNTRUST BANKS, INC. (OH)

On XX/XX/2019 at approximately XXXX XXXX my husband, XXXX XXXX, and I were having lunch. He was checking his banking at XXXX XXXX  and saw a pending withdrawal for {$1200.00} for Suntrust Bank. We thought we had missed a mortgage payment and added money from savings to checking to cover our $ 2093 monthly mortgage. I remembered that I had received an email on XX/XX/2019 ( approximate date ) saying they had received our mortgage payment and applied it. We were two hours from home. I attempted to call Suntrust over FIVE TIMES ... with wait times equaling over two hours ... I was shifted from department to department when I finally got a human on the phone. No one could find the XXXX that is attempting to be taken out of our checking account..and then the additional funds we transferred from savings to checking was being grabbed by Suntrust also. As soon as we got near home we went to XXXX XXXX  to stop payment on the {$2000.00} total. We were told because it was so late in the afternoon they weren't sure they could stop payment. 
Suntrust ... as far as we can tell ... .insists they aren't taking money out. We have never authorized payments to come out of our accounts and use the bill pay feature when we have a mortgage payment due. Suntrust is an out of town bank preying on the elderly by not having decent phone service and no answers to important questions. I want them to sell our mortgage to someone with reputable service and centers we can go to with questions.

I explained to the collector that insurance was provided and time of service and then I also provided insurance information again to them several times. I was told they would apply it to applicable accounts as some accounts they waited to long to file with the insurance company which was not my fault. However, the creditor agreed to remove these debts from my credit report but did not. I then disputed it with the 3 credit bureaus and each time XXXX come back verifies the debts as accurate. I have attached the communication between me and XXXX as this has been a burden and unfair practice to damage my credit. Furthermore, no communications about all of these debts were ever received just a 2 and I found out by pulling my credit.
