Company: TD BANK US HOLDING COMPANY
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I opened an account in the 1990 's with XXXX Bank. XXXX bank was sold to XXXX Bank. I had several accounts with them. While going through a marriage separation, we were trying to limit the deposits and separate expenses in this joint account. There was NO overdraft protection. TD charged my account for overdraft fees. I immediately contacted them and they admitted this was an error and reversed the charges. This happened again for the next few months. Each time I called and they reversed it. They told me they put a note in my file to not apply overdraft but it could take several months. Each month, I continued to call and they reversed it. Then they reported all these errors as " late fees '' on a {$1000.00} line of credit I never had. I went to the branch and they apologized. Customer service assured me this would be reversed. It stayed on my credit report. XXXX late payments showed on my credit report and basically destroyed my financial life. I was denied mortgages and more. I hired a XXXX XXXX XXXX & they were told this would be reversed. XXXX years later it is STILL on my credit report. XXXX Bank takes no responsibility. XXXX has also helped me dispute it but TD refuses to remove it even though I have proof this was their error and they credited the fees. XXXX told me to file a complaint with the CFPB. Your assistance in removing this from my credit report ASAP would be greatly appreciated. It shows as a {$1000.00} line of credit and I've spent thousands of dollars and over XXXX years of time trying to reverse this error. No one would XXXX late payments on a {$1000.00} LOC. This was never authorized to be on my account. Again, your assistance would be welcomed. This truly ruined my financial life. Thank you.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX there was an unauthorized transaction of {$24.00} to XXXX but I didnt think anything of it. Then on XX/XX/10 the account only had {$2.00} and at XXXX there was another charge of {$2.00}. Then I got paid on the XXXX. On the XXXX between XXXX and XXXX there were XXXX charges of {$24.00} and XXXX charge of {$15.00}. All made from a XXXX in XXXX California ( all with the same store number ). I live in XXXX Texas. I called my bank ( Chime ) right away on the XXXX to file a dispute ( while the charges were still pending ), they shut the card down and the charges stopped. Although, I ended up having to request an appeal because they denied my original claim. The second time, I tried sending my time sheet from work ; GPS timeline from XXXX and even charges on my other credit card that show I was in XXXX at the time of the unauthorized charges. After disputing with them they still deny my claim. A grand total of {$290.00} was taken.

Complaint narrative:
I recently submitted complaint # XXXX. It was immediately closed and I was sent a letter stating someone else submitted the complaint without verifying themselves and it will be closed. I am submitting this complaint. I wasn't even contacted before you closed my complaint why is that? But the reason my complaint was closed on your site says that I previously had the same complaint already. How is that? Where is the other complaint number for the same complaint? I am resubmitting my own complaint. I am a victim of Identity Theft. Due to the data breach at Equifax, I have several accounts and inquiries that I did not authorize on my credit file. I made several attempts to contact them and could not get anyone on the phone. I attached my fully completed Identity theft report # XXXX. I made several attempts to resolve this isssue. Please process my complaint.

Complaint narrative:
i have spoken to this company and they will still call me at least once a day, every single day and leave a message. sometimes they call more than once. i blocked them but they are now using alternate numbers and apparently 3rd party software to bypass the number block. this morning they called and somehow got through the number block. i called them back and said they call me every day even after having talked to me less than 7 days prior. XXXX, the XXXX will call me even after i talk to someone in the office and leave a message saying SHE needs to know what's going on... it's repeated harassment. i told them i'm filing bankruptcy and have no job and no money yet every day it's the same thing. i'm tired of being screamed at and called repeatedly daily. i have advised her that she's using illegal tactics for debt collection and abusing me and have told her not to call me but she keeps calling.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
In early XXXX, my partner applied for and received an American Express XXXX XXXX XXXX Credit Card. I am an account manager on that account. 

The promotional materials for the card, in several different places, advertised that the {$95.00} annual membership fee would be waived for the first year. However, on XX/XX/2022, our card was charged {$95.00} for an annual membership fee. 

I called Amex on XX/XX/2022 and spoke with a representative named XXXX and explained the situation. She told me she would send a link to upload copies of the promotional materials for Amex to look at. I clicked the link and the link was dead. I called back and spoke with a representative named XXXX and the call was immediately disconnected. I called back and spoke to a representative named XXXX who told me that the process XXXX wanted me to go through was the incorrect process and that I had to wait for somebody to call me back. I was given a case number, and was told that normally, it would take 7-10 business days for someone to call me back, but she would expedite the request and I would receive a call within 1-2 business days. 

On XX/XX/2022, having received no such call, I called Amex and spoke with a representative whose name I did not get. He spoke with his back office and told me that there have been no updates, and that the back office would get back to him in 1-2 weeks. I told him that a representative said I would receive a call from somebody, and he told me that no such thing would happen, so I didn't even have a chance to provide Amex with the relevant promotional materials. At that point, I was tired of being jerked around and was not confident that the matter would be resolved in a timely and appropriate manner, so I told the representative I would file a complaint with the CFPB. 

I am attaching the printout of the card statement showing the incorrect charge, as well as printouts of the various promotional materials with the annual fee language highlighted in yellow for ease of reference.
