Complaint narrative:
I filed a previous complaint on XX/XX/2023 but there was a mistake of the full legal name that caused Cash app to make more excuses eventhough I sent the proper documentation with the correct name and account numbers on those documents. They claim that my identity is already identified and i attached screenshots of that conversation via Cash App Chat Support. I need to refile the same complaint but with the corrected name so they will have ran out of excuses for their deceptive and ethical way thay handle disputes and/or victims of financial crimes. I will attach the letter with complaint number. Can you please correct the name on the complaint and resend it. There is no one to speak to, email or contact in any form about this problem. They keep saying my case has been " escalated to a special team '' but this supposedly " special team '' is not contactable in any form as well. Can you please correct the name on the complaint to XXXX XXXX XXXX and send it to Cash App? They will not respond to me. Thank you, XXXX XXXX

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I traveled to XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX for my grandma 's burial, ended up spending 5 months. While I was there, I noticed there was a charge on my credit card on XX/XX/XXXX. I didn't leave my card with anyone and Im not in the states, so I immediately called my bank. The reps kept sending OTPs to my SMS, which I didn't have access to because I was out of the country, so they refused to file my claim. I noticed my card was restricted and then reinstated again. I called again and they refused to help because I could not validate the OTP they kept sending me, so I decided to wait till I got back to the states. I called when I got back and filed the claim on XX/XX/XXXX, on XX/XX/XXXX, I got an email from my bank that they couldnt approve my claim because my card was used and my pin entered, so that means I physically used the card myself. I was not in the states when this happened so how could I possibly use my card? All purchases were made in XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, totally almost {$700.00}! I need money back from my bank immediately! This is IDENTITY THEFT and I have filed a police report as well. It is disheartening to think that my money is not safe with my bank.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Personal information incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to file a complaint against [ name of credit reporting agency ] for violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which is codified at 15 USC 1681 et seq. Specifically, I believe that the credit reporting agency has engaged in actions that are in violation of sections of the FCRA, including but not limited to : Section 604, which outlines the permissible purposes for which a credit report may be obtained.

Section 611, which requires credit reporting agencies to provide consumers with a free copy of their credit report once every 12 months upon request.

Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( B ), which requires credit reporting agencies to promptly correct or delete inaccurate or incomplete information in a consumer 's credit report. 
Section 623 ( a ) ( 2 ), which requires credit reporting agencies to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information in a consumer 's credit report. 
Additionally, I want to bring to your attention that the following addresses are non-mailable addresses and should be removed from my credit report immediately : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I have not authorized any person or entity to request or obtain a credit report for these addresses. Therefore, any information related to these addresses is a violation of the FCRA. 

As a result of these violations, I have suffered damages, which may include but are not limited to : [ describe the specific harm you have suffered, such as lost job opportunities, denial of credit, etc. ]. I am therefore seeking monetary relief for each violation of the FCRA, including actual damages, statutory damages, and, if applicable, punitive damages.

I have attempted to resolve this matter directly with the credit reporting agency, but have been unable to do so. I am therefore requesting that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter and take appropriate action to ensure that the credit reporting agency complies with the FCRA, removes the non-mailable addresses from my credit report, and obtains written consent from me before releasing any credit report information for any future addresses. 

I have attached documentation supporting my complaint, including copies of my credit reports and any other relevant correspondence with the credit reporting agency. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Company: TD BANK US HOLDING COMPANY
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I called TD Bank via their online bank account verification phone line on Friday, XX/XX/XXXX at approximately XXXX to report a suspicious withdrawal/transaction in the amount of {$310.00} labeled service charge. 

I was on the line for approximately 30 minutes with both a Customer Service Representative & Manager, who stated that the amount that was UNEXPECTEDLY withdrawn from MY bank account, was regarding a Safety Deposit Box. At no time was I advised that the deposit box, was an old debt that my Ex-Husband and I opened sometime in XXXX. The manager advised that I contact the TD Bank local Branch, located at XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX NJ XXXX, where the safety box had been opened. Upon calling, I spoke with the Branch Manager, XXXX XXXX, who was ridiculously rude, condescending and when I explained that I am disabled, unable to come into the branch to further discuss this issue and how this debit affected my SSDI FIXED INCOME, XXXX XXXX, could not have been more demeaning when he rudely went on to tell me that because I still had an active bank account ( SINCE XXXX ) the debt was taken out from my account!!! 
After ending that pointless conversation, I called customer service support to report XXXX XXXX and demanded how something like this could happen with NO NOTICE! Interestingly, TD Bank, sent the notification to my old address ( XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX NJ XXXX ). I havent lived at this address since XXXX!!! I just CAN NOT believe that a branch manager wouldnt have verified my current address, etc., before carelessly deducting a debt from my account, simply because I still have an open account! 

Im demanding that the monies in the amount of {$310.00} be replaced IMMEDIATELY and addressed accordingly. My divorce decree states that any accounts/debts be paid by my Ex-Husband. 

I will entirely close my TD Bank account and my current safety deposit box as soon as possible and will deposit my money with a reputable/responsible institution. I also expect that formal employee action be taken with all parties involved!
