Consumer complaint received 01-09-2016 about Bank account or service (Checking account) with TD BANK US HOLDING COMPANY (VA).
Issue: Problems caused by my funds being low

Complaint: I am an account holder for my personal, business and Interest on Lawyer 's Trust Account ( IOLTA ) accounts. In addition, I have a joint account with my husband, XXXX XXXX. My husband also has a separate account and we have XXXX savings account for our children. All of these accounts are with TD Bank. 
I am astonished at how many overdraft fees that have been charged to my accounts. The following fees have been accessed since XXXX of XXXX : Business checking assessed {$18000.00} XXXX Simple Checking assessed {$3100.00} XXXX simple checking assessed {$3700.00} After reviewing all of our accounts, we are outraged at the amount of insufficient funds we have been charged on these accounts. I have numerous times demanded that I be removed from the overdraft protection on all accounts. Several times it was never completed. Finally, in XXXX of XXXX I again asked to be removed from overdraft protection because charges were allowed to go through when funds were not available in the account and I would be charged an overdraft fee for each of those transactions. I was told I was removed only to find out as of today more numerous overdraft charges are still being assessed to my account. When I called today to protest the representative informed me that I was not " fully '' removed from the protection. I demanded an explanation as to why I was n't " fully '' removed on all of my previous attempts. She did n't have an answer and actually hung up on me. 
I have learned from your representatives and from my own research that TD Bank is notorious for running larger amount of transactions first and then running all the lesser amounts so that more transactions can be assessed the overdraft charge of {$35.00} for each transaction. These transactions are usually in the tens of dollars and often as little as a {$1.00} and for each transaction I have been charged {$35.00} in transaction costs, totally over {$25000.00} in overdraft fees. This is outrageous. I can not imagine how TD Bank is permitted with federal oversight to engage in such price gouging. I also can not imagine this has n't received more attention from consumer advocacy groups or even account holders.

Consumer complaint received 10/27/2017 about Checking or savings account (Other banking product or service) with HUNTINGTON NATIONAL BANK, THE (OH).
Issue: Managing an account
Sub-issue: Funds not handled or disbursed as instructed

Complaint: I am a long time customer ( 7yrs ) of XXXX XXXX XXXX which recently became Huntington Bank. I had two safe deposit boxes. I went into the XXXX office on XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Ohio XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX to make my payment to renew one of my safe deposit boxes. I was assisted by the Teller Supervisor that day. She took the payment for the amount of {$150.00}. The funds were  transferred from my savings account to pay for the renewal of the box I decided to keep. I mistakenly left the key for the box I was closing. The manager told me to bring it back later. I returned to the branch approximately two weeks later with the key. I emptied the box I was closing. I also asked for entry into the box that I paid to keep. Again, The teller supvr assisted me on this day. I handed her the key because she stated that she needed to make sure everything was out of the box. I never handled the key for the closed box again. I have been receiving late notices for the box that I closed. I went to the branch to have a conversation regarding this but was treated badly by one of the Branch Relationship Banker II. She told me that she could see the withdrawal but could not see the money applied to the box. I have taken copies of the receipts ( dropped in the night deposit box ) but still they are denying that the payment was made and they are also accusing me of not returning the key. I have tried numerous times to speak with the Branch Mgr XXXX XXXX but she is not responding to my need for resolution. She leaves messages but does not indicate any resolution. My concern is that they have this bill marked as 90 days late. I miss the courteous and sincere treatment that we were given by XXXX XXXX. This is a simple problem that should have been handled w/n a few days.

Consumer complaint received 04/19/2015 about Mortgage (Conventional fixed mortgage) with NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE (OH).
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint: The end of XX/XX/XXXX I submitted a payment for XXXX to NationStar, they received the check-they had a scanned copy, however they did not apply it to our account. I received the XXXX statement from them and was then made aware of the problem. This went back and forth calling, them not responding and calling, leaving messages until XXXX. I finally spoke with a live person-XXXX on XXXX XXXX. She said she did see the check, but it was not applied to our account, so she was going to investigate and I was to call her back the following Thursday. She said if they did not 'find ' the check we would have to do a stop payment, but would be reimbursed all fees from our bank, because it was their error. Also, she said they would remove all penalties and fees we had added to our account. I was going to make XX/XX/XXXX payment to next day, but she said she would do a check by phone, at NO CHARGE because of the problems we had been having, she said that way we knew starting with XXXX we would be ok. The following Thursday, XXXX XXXX I tried calling her, I left numerous messages as did my husband. No one EVER returned any of our calls. 
On XXXX XXXX I did a stop payment on the check for XXXX. My husband talked with XXXX in Customer Service XXXX XXXX and did a check by phone to clear XXXX. 
However, when I went online to check the account it was still in arrears! 
Since XX/XX/XXXX they are taking the payment, then reversing it back out! 
So, the fees/penalties continue to add up. We have called almost daily and no one will return our calls or do anything to help us. All they say is they will investigate, then send a letter saying we are behind, when are we going to get the account current????

Sub-issue: Problem with statement of dispute

Complaint: had requested experian to investigate a credit inquiry for XXXX dated XXXX. I was told in the response that I had to dispute directly to XXXX I do not know of this company and have never requested them to run my credit.

If the Credit Reporting agency refuses to do this they are in violation of the FCRA. I did not request this company run my credit report. If they did what they are supposed to do then it would show that I did not request this inquiry. Inquiry shoul dbe investigated in accordance with the FCRA, once investigated it should be removed.

Consumer complaint received 12-06-2016 about Consumer Loan (Vehicle loan) with ALLY FINANCIAL INC. (LA).
Issue: Taking out the loan or lease

Complaint: On XX/XX/2016 we went in to look at new vehicles. When we found the one we wanted, we explained that if they could not find financing within the 1st bank hit on our credit and within the correct finance charges we were willing to pay, that we would return the following day with our own financing once our bank opened the following morning. When we went into the financing office, they notified us they hit our credit score 3 times. I was furious! We decided to just go ahead with it. When we were about to sign off on the car, we noticed the interest rate was XXXX points higher than we had agreed to pay. We thanked them for their time, and were about to walk out when they had to adjust the selling price to get us approved by the bank at the lower interest rate. The next day I checked my credit report and noticed they had XXXX hard hits on my credit. I contacted the dealership and they said there was nothing they could do that sometimes their computer just keeps searching until it finds a bank to finance it. None of this is what we originally agreed upon. I had financing I could 've received from my bank the following day during bank hours but with it being the end of the month, I think the dealership was trying to hurry to close the deal and searched anywhere they could that late at night to get the deal done. I need these hard inquiries taken off of my record, because I never authorized them to go through XXXX of the XXXX banks, I only authorized them to go through XXXX

Consumer complaint received 10/28/2016 about Consumer Loan (Vehicle loan) with EXETER FINANCE CORP. (MA).
Issue: Managing the loan or lease

Complaint: On XXXX XXXX, XXXX an application was submitted to purchase a vehicle and according to Reference No XXXX, the loan was denied but somehow, the dealership was " able '' to get the loan approved however, I had to tell the bank that I already had the vehicle when they called when in fact, I did n't pick it up until the day after they called. Also, upon receiving the paperwork, I discovered that {$3200.00} was added to the original price of the vehicle but no explanation was given as to the amount, since the selling dealership never went over the paperwork ( but they 'claim ' they did ). The selling dealership claims that it is a " fee charged by the bank for a high risk credit loan ''. I did n't find out the payment until I spoke with someone from the finance company. When I make a payment, it does n't show up in my account until the entire payment is received and there is absolutely no indication as to what the payments are being applied to as it just shows the payment received. I have made the XXXX & XXXX payments and nothing has gone toward the loan, so where is the payment actually going? There was no option for XXXX Insurance given at the time of purchase. 

Under the key factors that adversely affected my credit score : XXXX - ( 1 ) is from XXXX and ( 2 ) has been disputed with the collection agency but they have not removed it from the record, as nothing is owed. 
XXXX - the only revolving account I have is my credit card, which I am trying to pay down XXXX - the only loans that I have are my student loans, to which I graduated in XXXX XXXX and those are in income based repayment, with the current year 's payment being {$0.00} XXXX - There are n't that many accounts that are open on my account. Those listed from XXXX are being paid on a monthly basis, even though the payments are not being reported, just the balance being reduced. My credit card is paid on a monthly basis.

Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint: Gulf Coast  Collections sent me a collection notice the month I contacted  XXXX   XXXX   XXXX  Hospital,  XXXX   XXXX   XXXX ,  XXXX  Florida to pay my out standing ER visi t copays.     At the same time I purchased my current credit reports from  XXXX , as well as XXXX  and  XXXX .

A hospital bill for {$960.00} was reported as unpaid while  XXXX   XXXX   XXXX  billing department said it was completely bogus and nothing existed in my account for that amount let alone that a {$960.00} bill was in arrears.  Gulf Coast Colections in sisted It was my bill. Plus they insisted instead of the original  XXXX   ER visit s once unpai d Gulf Coast ad ded  XXXX  more, making a total of  XXXX   ER cop ays unpaid. Originally  XXXX  were unpaid. As mentioned above I had just paid  XXXX . I made a payment of {$100.00} to  Gulf Coast Collections an d told the gentlemen I was going to contact the hospital 's billing department to verify what was truly unpaid. Now my outstanding bill I owe to  XXXX   XXXX   XXXX  should be {$120.00}.     My intent was to infor m Gulf Coast C ollections of the correct amount in arrears and ask them to correct my credit reports with all the Credit Bureaus.     I call ed Gulf Coast Col lections who previously refused to remove any of the erroneous debts. This time they told me  XXXX   XXXX  took their account back fr om Gulf Coast.I I asked Gulf Coast Co llections to remove their records from all  XXXX  credit bureau reports since they are no longer handling them.  Gulf Coast Collections refused to advise the bureaus of the errors. GULF COAST COLLECTIONS   REASON FOR NOT REPORYING HONESTLY : They said I had not paid the ( erroneous ) bills so, they were sorry but they would not remove them. I told them that since they , Gulf Coast Collections,  are no longer responsible for collecting those debts, to take them off my credit reports.They said NO! They refused to even correct the errors which existed prior to their having the account removed from their business.     WE HAVE A BROKEN SYSTEM OR CRIMINALS DESTROYING OTHERS CREDIT STANDING.
