Issue: Billing disputes — 
Company: TD BANK US HOLDING COMPANY (FL)

On XXXX/XXXX/15, I logged into the online financial service that TD Bank has made available for payments. I noted that my account had been debited for {$25.00} on XXXX/XXXX/15. I contacted TD Bank customer service via telephone and spoke with XXXX, employee # XXXX, on XXXX/XXXX/15. XXXX indicated that because my due date fell on a weekend, Sunday, XXXX/XXXX/15 and I had not made a payment prior to close of business on the preceding Friday, XXXX/XXXX/15, that my account was automatically charged a late fee of {$25.00}. They did explain that the late fee was not valid and would automatically be reversed if I make a payment by the due date. However, my account still exhibits a notation that my payment was late and notates a late fee even though my payment was made and credited to my account prior to the due date. Neither the card holder terms and conditions, or the online service terms and conditions make customers aware of this practice. More poignantly the card holder terms and conditions and the online service terms and conditions provide that payments made by XXXX on weekends and federal holidays will be credited to the account the next business day and that payment shall not be treated as late, at least as it applies to mailed payments. I expressed my concerns about this practice of preemptively charging customers late fees to XXXX, to which he replied, " that is just the way the system is set up. '' I explained my intent to file a compliant with a regulatory agency if the practice was not addressed, but XXXX was not moved by this. Although these entries as " late '' are not reported to credit reporting agencies, as far as I know, the bank is still knowingly making false entries on customer accounts regarding their payment punctuality. The practice of preemptively charging customers late fees, with or without the intent to automatically reverse the charges, is inconsistent with what is fair, reasonable and in keeping with the card holder terms and conditions intent of the application of payments. Records of late payment should only be made when a customer does not pay within the the terms and conditions as outlined in the card holder terms and conditions. I have conducted a review of my account and found that this is not the first instance of this event.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (NJ)

Hi, Capital One closed my credit card account and threatened me for law suit. I had a Capital One credit card during the Covid lock down. Since impacted by the Covid locked down, my hours were reduced. I missed 2 payments and Capital One closed my account and demand me to pay the full amount. That's given I did make up the late payments which they charged my all kind of late fees on. This is not right that we are being treated this way.

My complaint is that in the beginning i was informed by the Chase Bank Reps to stop making payments on my home loan and it would help the Modification program to move along faster.. which was untrue alls it did was put me so far behind that i could not catch up, now this is one of the reason they say they cant modify ..I believe this was totally done intentionally, i have sent names and ext numbers of all the earlier representatives to the Executive office only to get a answer on the present not any answers on any of the representatives that had me or informed me to stop paying on my loan.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (TX)

Chase bank puts holds on all of my purchases, debit and credit. I always go to the same gas station and the debit purchase is ALWAYS on hold for at least 2 days. They have a policy of not charging overdraft fees for under {$5.00} -- yesterday was the day before payday, so I was going to put {$4.00} in the tank like I have to do sometimes but the pump was stuck and ended up giving me {$5.00} - I went to the bank branch nearby ( they are always very nice ) and they looked at the history and said that yes it should take a few days to go through and since I got paid today, there should be no overdraft fee. 
I have noticed that WHEN they can charge a fee for a purchase, they will have that purchase go through that same day instead of pending it for a few days. I was charged a {$35.00} overdraft fee because they did n't hold this purchase like they normally do - I realize it was my fault technically for going over the {$5.00} mark by XXXX cents, but it is these overdraft fees that make it very hard to pay my student loans and other bills and lead to further overdraft fees because I am always playing catch up ... It seems like they are not playing fair by choosing what purchases to " pend '' and what ones to rush through just so they can charge a fee. Because I try my hardest to pay all my student loans and rent, etc on time, I live paycheck to paycheck and often have to rely on that & lt ; {$5.00} rule - but I still have paid Chase over {$200.00} in overdraft fees since XX/XX/XXXX ... It is a HUGE burden on XXXX people, on people struggling with masive amounts of student debt.

I notified them and paid them the insurance money from that. They continue to call me over and over, and every time they do n't seem to know anything about my situation. They continue to delay my foreclosure for reasons unknown to me. I think it has to do with trying to give me assistance, even though I 've declined that for years.

Issue: Communication tactics — Threatened to take legal action
Company: Nelson and Kennard (WA)

I had been paying on a credit card that I had for my business, although the card is in my personal name. After I closed the business, I came to an agreement with a collection company to continue making payments. I lost my job at the end of XX/XX/XXXX but continued making small payments to the company. I was making these payments with money from Unemployment Compensation, which I received for 6 months. I was not having success in finding work so decided to go back to school to change careers. 
I received a notice from the collection agency/attorney that they would be filing a lawsuit if I did n't settle on the account. I contactedthem and spoke to XXXX XXXX ( with whom I had been working for quite a while when I was making payments ). I wanted to come up with some kind of deferment or plan that was workable now that I am no longer working. Because I felt an impending threat, I offered to make a {$1000.00} payment after speaking to friends to come up with the money. XXXX XXXX said that they could take the money then and have a monthly amount that would increase over time. I did not want to make that commitment over the phone and asked him to send me a copy of the agreement. He agreed to this. In the conversation, it was implied that the legal action would not proceed while I was waiting for a copy of the suggested payment plan. They took my money, which I presumed was a sign of good faith from me. 
The only money that I am receiving now is from student loans that I have taken out to go to graduate school. Any money in my bank account has come from these loans. 
I assume that XXXX XXXX XXXX has since written off the account balance. There have been many collection agencies I have made payments to for this account and it seems that each company has gotten more and more aggressive with their collection tactics. 
This is n't the only debt that I have remaining from the closure of my business. I have made small payments to various collection companies for several debts. When I was working, I was able to settle on some of them, or pay them off completely. 
I am now in a situation where I will not be able to earn income until I graduate in XXXX or XX/XX/XXXX. The program I am enrolled in is very rigorous and does n't allow me time to work. I am XXXX years old so I do n't have the energy that my fellow students have, and it takes all of my time to complete my schoolwork. 
I feel that this company has been very aggressive with me. I have made payments when I can and they have kept applying pressure. After I received their latest communication ( packed into a very small envelope. I opened it with the expectation that it was finally the contract that I had requested ), I was not able to sleep well for XXXX nights. 
It has never been my intention to file bankruptcy. I have worked very hard to avoid it but feel that companies like this, and their pressuring tactics, are driving me to this. I feel harassed and taken advantage of.
