Company: TD BANK US HOLDING COMPANY
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
As a follow up to my recent complaint, I again visited a TD Bank branch, this time in XXXX Florida, on XX/XX/2024. I traveled to Florida in an attempt to rectify this situation as I truly do not know what to do to get my father 's accounts closed and the funds deposited into the Estate. In Florida, the person assisting me ( XXXX XXXX ) informed me that the XXXX NJ XXXX, XXXX XXXX, should have accepted the documentation I provided in person in XXXX. XXXX XXXX informed me that he would have accepted the same document ( which was the original letter of personal rep/administration ), but couldn't do so now because there was a note in the system from XXXX XXXX so he needed a manager to override that note. After making me wait an hour, he came back and said actually he couldn't accept the document because it was now over 60 days old. I said it wasn't 60 days old at the time XXXX XXXX viewed the document in person, and it was now over 60 days old because of their mistake. Again, I have XXXX small children and am an attorney for a different bank, it is very difficult for me to travel all over the XXXX XXXX trying to settle this XXXX. XXXX XXXX, in an attempt to appease me, said he would have legal approve the account closures and confirm with me on Monday that they were sent. It is now Tuesday, and he is not answering my communication attempts. This is extremely distressing, unfair, and confusing. I am quite literally a bank attorney and I can't get this done, XXXX if I was an elderly consumer trying to settle my deceased partners accounts -- it would never happen. I will also comment that the 60 day policy seems extremely arbitrary and punitive, and almost seems like TD Bank is trying to make it so difficult for family members to access their loved ones funds that they give up and TD gets to keep the funds. I would like TD to close the accounts and send me the funds from those accounts, without having to go anywhere else in person. As I mentioned in my last complaint, I am XXXX hours away from the closest TD, and every other bank I've dealt with has let me send in documents, but TD refuses. I have now traveled up and down the XXXX XXXX trying to figure this out -- I am truly not sure why TD is making this process so hard for someone who just lost a family member. It is really disgusting. Absent a lawsuit, I do not know how I am going to get these funds out.

Complaint narrative:
There was a dispute letter sent on XX/XX/year> informing XXXX of my intent to sue due to them failing to enter a notice of dispute for accounts previously disputed and stating that items were verified without proof of an investigation.

I can demonstrate to a judge that these accounts are indeed inaccurate and that you have violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act by disregarding my requests for investigation. Should you continue in your non-compliance, the law is very clear as to the civil liability and the remedy available to me for negligent non-compliance. I am maintaining a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint seeking relief and monetary damages under FCRA Sections 616 and 617.
