Complaint narrative:
My current credit report is showing that I have a Target Credit Card open that has never been used. However, I have never had a Target Credit Card. Target can not find any card under my name and is refusing to remove the card from my credit history even though they can not find a card registered under my name. Because I have never actually had a card with Target I do not have the full credit card number with which to reference what is showing up on my Credit Report. I would like Target to remove the credit card they have listed on my credit report as they have no history or documentation of me ever having had a card with them. Even though I do not have any outstanding balance this card is negatively affecting my credit.

Company: TD BANK US HOLDING COMPANY
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX XXXX 2015 I noticed a charge using my debit card for {$380.00} dollars. I contacted my bank TD Bank and disputed the charge. The charge came from XXXX XXXX who I called prior to filing complaint and they advised me that they did not show me being charged this. I filed a complaint with TD Bank on XXXX XXXX 2015 and they reissued me another debit card. I explained to them at the time that I never authorized Direct TV to make any charges to my card outside of monthly bill that I would call in to pay for service. Any how TD bank sided with XXXX XXXX and that was that for them. After calling around I found out why I received the Charge of {$380.00}. Prior to having Direct TV I had XXXX who had poor service in my area and with me traveling all the time I returned all their equipment and discontinued their service. This happen on XXXX/XXXX/2015 and I did not start up service with XXXX on XXXX/XXXX/2015. The XX/XX/XXXX XXXX merged with XXXX and They used my debit card to cover this charge from XXXX again who I never authorized to use my debit card. This is like someone hacking your account and taking whatever money they want and the bank saying OK. First this is a XXXX bank who should be bending over back wards for Americans if they want to operate in this country. Second and for the third time I never authorized this charge and even if I did owe XXXX money this is an improper and illegal way of collecting it. I feel the bank needs to be fined along with XXXX and XXXX.

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing a {$19.00} late charge from fred Myers jewelers platinum preferred Master Card # XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. 
My payments are due the XXXX day of every month. In order not to be late with my payments I have arranged with XXXX bank to withdraw my monthly payments from my account in a timely manner so that the credit card company will receive payment on or before the due date. Apparently in XXXX the payment came late. 
I have disputed this with XXXX bank as well and after looking into this case, XXXX bank has assured me that they send the payment to the creditor in plenty of time for them to receive the payment and will not take responsibility for the late charge. 
I have called and spoken to customer service several times and they refuse to refund the {$19.00} saying its the banks fault, the bank says its the creditors fault. 
I am very frustrated since I always pay my bills on time and do everything possible to avoid late charges or missed payments and feel that I have been wrongly penalized.

Complaint narrative:
I have a XXXX student loan with Great Lakes which has been on and off in-school deferment and forbearance since 2010. Every year, Great Lakes has brought the loan out of in-school deferment before receiving notice of or verifying my XXXX semester attendance. They have had to make more than two retro-active adjustments to my loan repayment history because of this practice. For the past month I have been trying to speak with someone at Great Lakes about the issues with my repayment history and I am being jerked around and told that the information can not be changed because of the Fair Credit Reporting Acts. I researched into this topic and discovered a letter from the FTC discussing Great Lakes ' obligation to update the information on the credit file, even if it was accurate at the time it was reported. They have since refused to respond to me and I am now searching out other ways to resolve this issue. 

I have paid on my loan and my account is in good standing. The remaining principal balance is less than the original principal balance so I do not owe more than I took, I owe less. I have been working very hard to try and get this loan taken care of but, at each step Great Lakes has worked against me to prolong the time the student loan stays in repayment and therefore in their possession. I feel as though Great Lakes has no incentive to provide me with assistance as their money comes from having a number of accounts to service. Essentially they are a for-profit XXXX complex. There is no incentive to rehabilitate the XXXX if the XXXX gets a monthly check based on head count. The same situation is true with federally subsidized student loans. Great Lakes is attempting to prolong the repayment period of my loan and will not work with me to correct the inaccurate payment history.

Company: TD BANK US HOLDING COMPANY
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
TD Bank has charged an overdraft fee for a situation in which we make a check deposit minus " cash ''. If there is not a balance in your existing checking account ( pre-deposit ) to cover the " cash '' portion that you are taking from your deposit, they charge an overdraft fee. 
I understand that technically you are taking money off of a check that has not yet cleared so essentially you are taking withdrawal from you checking account but that is NOT explained to you at the time you are standing with the teller making the transaction. You do n't find out until you see the overdraft fee and call the bank to understand where its coming from. 
The complaint is regarding a deceptive practice. Its fine if the policy is as it is but it should be the teller 's responsibility to tell the customer that they do n't have the money in their checking account to cover the withdrawal so they can either choose to take it against an alternative account that has the funds or they can take a lesser amount so they do not incur the fee, otherwise they will incur the fee. 
TD Bank does not do that at the point of the transaction which is just a way for them to collect a fee.

Complaint narrative:
I am an XXXX service member who recently applied for a home loan. When I received my credit report from my loan officer, I noticed there was a collection account listed from a company called XXXX, XXXX. Reporting date was XX/XX/XXXX saying the original creditor was a company called XXXX with an account open date of XXXX have never done any business with a company called XXXX or XXXX, XXXX so this debt needs to be verified ASAP. I sent XXXX letters, via certified mail to the address listed for NV. XXXX letter was return to sender, and the other, I was never contacted back. XXXX days go by, I still have no information on this debt, however I realized that on my credit report the account number XXXX was the same listed for a XXXX XXXX XXXX account that was listed as charged off w/ a balance of XXXX.Rooms to go acct XXXX is an account of mine, HOWEVER this account IS being paid on and should NOT be listed as charged off. I have been paying on this account through a 3rd party agency called XXXX XXXX. I contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX to get more information, they were not able to provide me with any information or any type of documentation of my debt/account, its status and what they 've done with my account/ and or payments. I was never contacted about a charge off/ and or a hand-off to another company. I made contact with XXXX, XXXX who was very stern with me when I was just trying to get information and to come up with a solution. The clerk on the phone would not provide me with any information about the hand off from XXXX XXXX XXXX to shoppers to now XXXX. I told him that the information being reported was incorrect and that I am currently paying on the account through care XXXX, and have documentation to prove such. He said that even with that documentation it would n't suffice in updating my balance, saying that they have had the account for some time now and it shows no activity. I got off the phone with this clerk because he was rude and overwhelming. I submitted this same statement throught XXXX and received a response of " Please be advised that XXXX ( " XXXX '' ) is the owner of the subject XXXX/TD Bank NA XXXX XXXX XXXX Big Store credit card ( account number ending in XXXX ). Since acquiring the account in XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX has received seven ( 7 ) {$68.00} payments for a total of {$470.00}, with the last payment being made on or about XX/XX/XXXX.

Complaint narrative:
I was without phone access during a XXXX XX/XX/2016 and missed a credit card payment through TD Bank. I set up an automatic payment but it never went through. When I returned, I fixed the situation by calling card services and they waived my interest fee and my late fee. Since, on my credit report it still says that I have missed payments which I had waived. I have called card services to try and get everything taken care of and they are not helping to get this removed off my credit report. Also, TD card services sent me a letter in the mail lowering my credit from XXXX to XXXX because I used my card too often. The reason I used my card to often is because in XX/XX/XXXX I had some identity theft on my debit card and live no where near a branch office to get a new one so the advisor told me to use my credit card that I paid off just as it were a debit card. I have kept up with this card making double payments repeatedly and this is severely effecting my credit.

Complaint narrative:
I feel like I was discriminated by TD bank in XXXX XXXX NJ on XXXX. First of all I was told that I will pay no servicing fee for holding my account at TD bank as long as I hold a minimum of {$100.00} balance. I contacted TD bank and told them that it 's not fair that I have been paying approximately {$15.00} per month when in fact I had the minimum balance required. They told me they could only refund one month of servicing fees and that it is my problem, and they do n't have to pay me back. They also told me that I will not have to pay any servicing fees for my saving account which I have been paying about {$4.00} per month for a couple of years. I applied for a personal loan at TD bank a couple of weeks ago and I feel I was discriminated by the bank due to my national origin which is XXXX and due to my XXXX faith. I have a heavy XXXX accent, and I felt like I was mistreated. I was declined for a unsecured personal loan for the amount of {$10000.00}. However I contacted XXXX personal loan a couple of weeks later and I was approved for a {$10000.00} unsecured personal loan. 
I know that the bank has taken advantage of my situation by not crediting any of the fees and declining a loan that I should have been approved for because other lender would probably approve the loan.
