Company: The Law Offices of Jennifer McCoy, PC
State: UNITED STATES MINOR OUTLYING ISLANDS

Complaint narrative:
Good morning, My complaint is in reference to a debt I owed to the company " XXXX XXXX at XXXX XXXX '' apartments. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a civil warrant from the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. The amount owed was a total of {$2100.00}. The original debt was taken over by The Law Office of XXXX XXXX https : //jennifermccoylaw.com. I was summoned to court on XX/XX/XXXX. 

I decided to pay the debt in full once I was able to gather the funds and paid the full amount of {$2100.00} ( the amount that was listed on the civil suit ) on XX/XX/XXXX. Upon checking my credit history via XXXX XXXX, I noticed that my collection is still open with the Law Office of XXXX XXXX and I've been charged an additional {$270.00}. 

I would like to get this removed and my credit report updated with the collection being paid in full. They've been a pain to deal with. They even sent a debt validation letter with some sort of substance inside that attracted hundreds of ants. The photo I'm attaching is absolutely disgusting.

Issue: Opening an account — Account opened as a result of fraud
Company: TD BANK US HOLDING COMPANY
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Last week, XXXX, XX/XX/2022, I received in my home mailbox two sets of checks for TD Bank accounts that I did not open, XXXX letters stating the accounts were overdrawn, and a debit card with a sticker prompting me to activate it. I have never been a patron of TD Bank, nor have I ever applied there. I applied XX/XX/2022, for a new account at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX online, but confirmed with them by phone that they had my application and were not affiliated with TD Bank. 

When I called TD Bank, the number on the debit card to activate it, I was curious. I entered the card number, my zip code, and the last 4 of my SSN, and the recording came on alerting me that my information did not match their records and transferred me to a CSR. I gave them the account numbers and told them they were not my accounts, and the debit card number. They suggested I cut up the debit card, which I did. They tried to transfer me to their fraud department, but I was placed on hold for over 75 minutes and could not wait any longer. I hung up. 

Friday morning, the next day, XX/XX/XXXX, I received another pack of checks. Same process, this time I looked up TD Bank 's number on XXXX, verified it was the one I called yesterday, I spoke with a CSR, gave them the account number, they transferred me to fraud, where I remained on hold for 48 minutes. I hung up, called back 3x but have still been unable to speak to anyone at TD Bank in Fraud. Their message just repeatedly says they are short-staffed because of COVID. I looked up the mailing address of the routing number on the checks and sent a letter to TD Bank in USPS mail demanding the same thing I'm asking for here, for my name and credit reports to be cleared of these fraudulent accounts. 

Saturday morning, I received a letter at my place of business from TD Bank in XXXX telling the previous owner of my restaurant to discreetly claim an inheritance due her for a family member who passed away. Now I think I know how they got my name and personal address, we are the new owners of the restaurant, and our home office address is public record in our state because of our business license. 

I have filed a complaint with identitytheft.gov, the consumer finance protection bureau, all 3 credit bureaus, and my local police department.
