Company: TD BANK US HOLDING COMPANY
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
We initiated a transaction on {$160.00} from our XXXX account on XX/XX/XXXX to pay our Target credit card bill. XXXX shows our account being charged {$160.00} on XX/XX/XXXX. Target originally told me on the phone that the payment was not received until XX/XX/XXXX ( 13 days after initiation ) and as a result charged us a {$30.00} late fee and {$5.00} interest fee. Subsequently, and as written on the statement, Target told me that it was received XX/XX/XXXX, which was nonetheless after the original XX/XX/XXXX due date. 

We contacted Target who agreed to waive the {$30.00} late fee but they then escalated us to a manager before finally agreeing to refund the {$5.00} of interest. XXXX informs me that Target does not accept electronic payments, so a paper check is the only way their bill pay will work. XXXX says this bill pay takes 5 business days, while electronic would have cleared in just 1-2 days. 

XXXX customer service told me that the check was cashed by Target on XX/XX/XXXX. Someone is apparently lying here. Neither XXXX nor Target is interested in investigating this discrepancy. 

I am frustrated with XXXX who charged me fees for a digital payment supposedly being just a day or two late while refusing to accept digital bill pay. While they did eventually agree to waive the {$30.00} late fee and {$5.00} interest fee, I accrued another {$7.00} of interest in the next month due to the confusion, which they have refused to waive. Target tried to get me to set up autopay with them in order to resolve this type of issue going forward, but it seems unreasonable that a consumer can't rely on a big-4 bank to make electronic payments that clear within 13 calendar days.

Company: Universal Recovery Corporation
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
This company is violating my consumer rights and breaking Federal laws by continuing to report their collection debt to XXXX-a credit bureau-after I have already formally submitted a dispute through XXXX regarding this debt collection company. They not only have kept their collection entries on my credit report, but they are also falsely reporting it as being an open account for two separate entries on my credit report. I lost my dispute by the way because somehow they managed to lie to XXXX and enable them to keep reporting this no longer valid information to the credit bureaus. There is not a single collection company that has continued to leave their entries on my credit report asides from this company. Every other Collection company has removed and deleted their credit entries on my report, but Universal Recovery Corporation refuses to comply with my rights and the law after I have filed for Bankruptcy on XX/XX/2022. I honestly believe that this is an act of retaliation on their part towards me from a previous legal matter that was filed against them, and was settled in my favor outside of court. Why else would they drag their feet and leave this very harmful information on my credit report when legally it must be removed after they were notified of my bankruptcy status?

Complaint narrative:
I have been working with ALL three major credit bureaus for the past 2 months ; trying to get my accounts correctly updated with a simple name change. I have discussed this change over the phone with EVERYONE, e-mailed, mailed, wasted money mailing CERTIFIED and even drove 150 miles round trip to XXXX Bank in XXXX, Alabama with ALL ... and I repeat ALL the information to complete my name change ; hoping someone will get it RIGHT!!!!!! ( XXXX XXXX did not have a problem correctly updating my account in a very prompt and professional manner. ) But unfortunately, I know that it is an impossible task for company employee representatives in today 's society to do their job appropriately and timely. I have finally given up trying to communicate to these illiterate, incompetent idiots that have no clue what great customer service ethics are. My credit score has been between XXXX - XXXX for the past 3 years ( See attached documents from XXXX and XXXX verifying this information ). Today I received an unexplained Vantage Score of XXXX from XXXX ( that was posted on my XXXX XXXX website ) stating that my score had dropped XXXX points. I am retaining a lawyer and filing suit against their grossly inaccurate credit reporting practices and failure to correctly investigate my disputes.
