Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
Previously paid a debt on card on XX/XX/XXXX the creditor had told me if paid it will be removed entirely during our phone conversation which was recorded by then, 5 months and this still didnt resolve, no letter and still showing up. So I sent a dispute and now I have a charge off showing up dated XX/XX/XXXX. Called XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and they told me theyre not reporting it that they filed to remove while experian is showing they reported it as a charge off, they began laughing because I asked for it to be mailed that we agreed on pay to remove and they said ok. Experian will not allow me to re dispute.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: LA

Complaint narrative:
Received a voicemail from from a an independent courier who said if I wasnt at my home or job to receive the legal papers she had that it would be a direct refusal & theyd begin an arrest process. When I called back at XXXX, the lady on the phone would not tell me what the company name was, just that they were a third party mediator of some sort. She then went on to tell me that this was regarding a balance on a credit card from Bank of America ( THAT I HAD FROM 2007 ). I was unable to pay back then due to financial difficulties but now that I have good credit I guess theyre wanting it & will go to any lengths to get it. This I was in a sheer panic before I called & now Im just angry. This is an abusive tactic & it needs to be stopped.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: United Collection Bureau, Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Hello, my name is XXXX XXXX. Im filing a complaint today because I believe Im being held accountable for a debt thats not mines nor was valid. The UCB collection agency claims I owe a amount of {$880.00} for a medical bill. I kindly sent them a dispute letter in XX/XX/2022 asking them to send me information about this dispute. Along with the letter I sent a copy of my drivers license so they could know that it was me sending the letter and that I just want them to send me the information I asked for and not to call me. About a week into me sending the first dispute letter I saw on my XXXX XXXX thats the collection bill of {$880.00} has been CLOSED, it stated so I thought ok they got my letter and everything was resolved. A couple days later I saw that the collection bill for {$880.00} was put back on my report. I was very confused and frustrated, so I called UCB ( the collection agency ) and this girl answered and Im telling her whats going on and she told me that oh yeah we do take the collection off and put it back on each month as a update and Im like What??? That sounds so stupid, obviously she did not know what she was talking about because I never heard anything like that. So Im telling her listen you guys need to send the information I asked for if you cant do that then remove this off my report. She stated that they just sent out information to me and I should be receiving it soon in the mail. I told her ok and I didnt want to talk anymore over the phone and to just send me information through mail. I waited for the information to come through the mail and it never came. It was well over the 30day mark we were in the end of the month of XX/XX/2022 and this was still on my report. I did receive a call from the agency around this time and they asked me to verify my name and address which I did and I politely told the man I did not want to discuss anything over the phone I sent a dispute letter asking for more information and never received anything. I politely hung up and around XX/XX/2022 I sent another letter to the UCB collection agency, explaining that I sent a dispute letter and I havent heard from you guys within a month. I told them to please remove this off my credit report as Im XXXX XXXX  and I already have enough problems. Today is XX/XX/2022 and I looked on my XXXX XXXX  and it says that they closed the account again. Im writing this complaint because I want this collection closed for good and I dont want to have to worry about this anymore. Also I noticed that they did not remove this collection bill for the month of XXXX so that was suspicious since the girl said they *update each month removing and putting it back on my report. Anyway I would like some answers as to why they havent validated this bill with information and why they keep closing the account and reopening it. As of today XX/XX/2022 it shows the account is closed.

Company: TD BANK US HOLDING COMPANY
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
My wife and I have been a banking member of TD bank for about 8 years. We not only have a business checking and savings account but also opened a personal checking and savings account with them. We have never had an overdraft, negative balance or any issues that were raised with the bank during this time. On Monday XX/XX/2022 we both received separate letters from the " demarketing '' at TD Bank notifying us that they are closing all of our accounts XXXX week of XXXX and the letter provided only a phone number that went to voicemail. No reason was cited and we initially thought the letters were some type of fraud scheme. After leaving approximately 6 voicemails to the number listed on the letter ; I reached out to a local branch manager who emailed the department because there is no direct contact with them client facing or at the branch level. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and I am fully aware of AML issues but the bank refused to explain anything other than " they reserve the right to close without issuing a reason '' which is totally unprofessional and left us feeling a bit like criminals. We currently have a professional medical business account with them and closing our account without any dialogue and appropriate time ( less than three weeks ) is one of the worst experiences I have had with a bank. Understanding business is business we at a minimum after 8 years would appreciate an opportunity to discuss the issue they are seeing and allow us the opportunity to maintain the relationship if we can explain, rectify or even demonstrate they are wrong. After digging into TD 's reviews and practices, it appears that this happens regularly and people never hear back or are never given an opportunity to clarify if the bank is mistaken in its assumptions. We are now in a bind to open another bank account and transfer all of our normal operations over within a short time. In writing this I am hoping TD reaches out to me and affords us the opportunity to work with them in maintaining our accounts and allowing us to correct any issues. Reference # XXXX

She said they cant do that. They make it impossible to do anything when youre XXXX  and XXXX XXXX.
