Complaint narrative:
I went into TD Bank on XX/XX/2017 to make a deposit. I handed the teller my check with XXXX endorsements from myself and my husband, the check is my income tax from last year taxes. The teller told me the funds would be available on XXXX, they was not. I was told by several supervisors that the funds would be available on XXXX. I was told after coming to the bank that the fraud department is looking into the situation. I have deposited several items that have my husband and my name on it as well as others. Why do I have to be treated like a criminal?

Complaint narrative:
I have had a credit card with Target since XXXX I have been late XXXX time since XXXX which was XXXX XXXX. I called on XXXX to say I would be late and that I would make my payment on XXXX because my credit is very valuable to me. 

I called to make my payment on XXXX ( The payment was due XXXX ) and to ask that the late fee be removed as a courtesy since I 've had an account since XXXX and had never been late. 
I found out that yes, they would remove the late fee but I have been over my credit limit by over {$1000.00} since XXXX XXXX and they have been reporting that to the credit bureau. I asked how I could I be over my limit and still be able to use the card? I was informed that the company allows good customers to go over the limit!! I told them I had NEVER heard of such a practice and I am furious that I was allowed to go over and was being reported. I was under the impression that I received a credit line increase in order for me to use my card. Had I known that I was over my limit and being reported I would not have gone over my limit. Again, I 've been a member in excellent standing since XXXX and did not think anything like this was possible.

Company: HUNTINGTON NATIONAL BANK, THE
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
I sold my house and closed on my mortgage with Huntington Bank ( XXXX/XXXX/XXXX ). Everything was completed and I have possession of the final mortgage release ( XXXX/XXXX/XXXX ). I received a VERY vague letter from Huntington ( XXXX/XXXX/XXXX ) stating that I was paid {$5600.00} in error and that I need to repay that amount. This letter included no detailed explanation and no due date. From the beginning, there have been many questionable transactions with my mortgage. I checked my payoff amount ( on line ) right before the closing and it was significantly lower than I expected. My balance showed that a large amount had been paid to the principal. When I called to check on that, it mysteriously got corrected with no explanation at all several days later. At closing they had the escrow amount incorrect and had no record that I had paid my taxes/insurance. I had to prove that it had been paid and they sent me a check for that amount after closing. I have spoken to XXXX different representatives from Huntington ( XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX ) and have requested each of them to provide documentation regarding this particular transaction. To this date, I have received NO proof of what transpired that has caused them to request this payment from me. I do n't understand how Huntington Bank, a company that 's business is mortgage loans, can have so many issues with my mortgage. Obviously they have problems within their company. I should not be the one that suffers due to their inability to close my mortgage properly. Huntington has been very unprofessional while handling my mortgage and I do n't trust them.

Complaint narrative:
Dear CFPB, I had a checking account with TD bank, which seems like was overdrawn by error. I had linked my TD Bank to my XXXX credit card. By error it seems like the software submitted multiple ACH requests. 

I learned from TD bank that I was negative ~ {$200.00}, however, in less than 4-5 weeks, TD bank charged me more than {$250.00} in fees. They sent this amount to collection and closed my account. 

I am XXXX years old. I had only XXXX checking account. I am kindly requesting TD bank to please reopen my account and please remove the fees. I want to pay the overdrawn amount ASAP. Please ask the collection agency to not send this to credit agencies, otherwise it will damage my credit history. My credit score was close to XXXX, which now might have been damaged significantly. 

I will greatly any help from TD Bank. I was traveling XXXX XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX XXXX has already removed all Fees associated with these ACH debits. 

I apologize to TD Bank. 

I will greatly appreciate if you can help here. 

Thank you.

Company: TD BANK US HOLDING COMPANY
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
TD Bank failed to provide timely and accurate information regarding the mortgage process. Further, TD Bank stopped responding to e-mails or requests for information once we expressed concern about the misinformation that was provided and their latency. XXXX examples include : ( 1 ) When we completed our mortgage application, the loan processor referred to the new law but assured us that TD Bank could complete the mortgage process in 45 days. Additionally, the TD Bank website states that " generally, your mortgage will be ready to close in 30-45 days. '' Although our closing date was scheduled for over 45 days from the start of the process ( and we provided all requested information in less than 24 hours of the request ), TD Bank did not complete the mortgage process by the closing date and did not inform us of their processes with regard to the new three-business day rule for us to have the Closing Disclosure forms. In fact, TD Bank did not inform us that we would not be able to close until 1 business day prior to closing. This poor communication resulted in financial loss to us because we had already transferred utilities ( costs not yet known ) and paid for city parking for the moving truck ( {$60.00} cost ). 
( 2 ) TD Bank failed to inform us of the option to receive mortgage disclosures electronically. We learned of the option when it was time for us to receive our Closing Disclosure ; however, TD Bank would not allow us this option because we had not opted for this option at the start of the process. TD Bank acknowledged that they did not inform us of this option at the start of the process, but said the law did not allow us to opt in late in the process. TD Bank refused other options that appear to be allowed by the law ( e.g., e-mail or fax ) and insisted we wait for regular U.S. postal mail. The failure to inform us of the electronic option or allow for other avenues resulted in financial loss because it further delayed the rescheduling of the closing date. 

TD Bank appears to need more guidance on how to implement and communicate about the new law to customers. Different associates provided us different information ; we remain uncertain which interpretation is correct or what it will mean for us. We will be submitting more information to TD Bank directly on our experience, but thought it prudent for future customers if we shared our experience regarding TD Bank 's handling of this new law.

From XX/XX/2017-XX/XX/2017, TD bank was receiving charges from XXXX of {$32.00}. The charges were attempted and denied a total 4 times by the company. each attempt was charged a {$35.00} overdraft fee. At time of writing, there are others pending as well. 

This was billing error that has since been resolved. TD Bank has full discretion when accepting or denying payments. I do not believe TD adhered to the high ethical standards that it sets for itself.

After calling AES, the story changed, I was told they would have file paper work with XXXX to request a forebereance. Now, I am being told that I will have to pay {$460.00} on XXXX XXXX, to keep current. 
This information should have been explained in detail with my first phone call. I have {$5600.00} deductible which I have to pay first before my roof is replaced. XXXX, has only offered me a loan, for which I was denied. I ca n't see why XXXX refuses to help in the time of disaster and or why AES can never relays correct information. AES loves to say the calls are recorded for training purposes, pull the tape and listen. I can not afford this payment and replace all that was lost in the storm. My roof was destroyed, along with my garage, and water damage.I am single parent working on a teachers salary, apparently to be a victim of disaster means nothing to XXXX.Who is only concerned about money.

Complaint narrative:
I had a checking account with a debit card with SunTrust. The debit card carried a {$75.00} annual fee. I received a letter in the mail stating that they no longer wanted to continue my banking relationship and requested I close the account ( or they would close it by a certain date ). However, since I paid the annual fee for the debit card and will not be able to use it for the entire year I paid for, I requested a refund ( full or partial ) and was told they would not issue a refund. So They took my fee for a year, then closed my account after 6-7 months, but are keeping my annual fee.

Complaint narrative:
In the past few weeks, I have been in a dispute with my bank about not being given a provisional credit for an unauthorized debit transaction by my cable company. In my complaint, representatives were uncooperative and would not issue a provisional credit during the investigation as they had done previously with my disputes. Plus, I had complained about the number and frequency at which I had been charged overdraft fees. After all of this trouble I told my bank I will be closing my checking account at the end of the month. I spoke with several representatives and filed a complaint through the banking system. Still to no avail, the response I received from my complaint was how to file a dispute. I responded to them by stating I was not seeking help, I was only trying to file a complaint on the issues I was experiencing. Then last week I received XXXX checks in the mail to participate as a XXXX. I deposited the checks into my account and the checks were placed on hold until XXXX/XXXX/2015. I had not withdrawn any funds from those checks and was following bank policy by waiting until the checks cleared according to the date given. Today, I tried to log into my account and could not. Then I called the bank and was told they had closed my account due to the checks I deposited were fraudulant. I told the representative, I had no idea and I surely did not know that. I told her that I did not try to withdraw funds ahead of time from the account and followed protocol when it comes to receiving checks that you are not sure of. I was told by the representative I have no recourse and my account would remain closed. I asked what is supposed to happen to my XXXX check that is to be deposited in XXXX days, she stated the bank would issue me a check. I know the bank has taken this opportunity to close my account before I can close it myself thereby holding this against me. If it goes on record that I committed fraud with my bank, this could cause me to have problems getting other accounts. It 's already causing me major inconvienences by closing the account at this time. They know I have direct deposit and automatic drafts set up for bill paying and how much of a hardship this would cause. If I had tried to get any of that money from the account before it was released by the bank, I would have understood why they closed the account. According to their policy, proper procedure would be to reverse the deposit and mail the insufficient checks back to me or I would have been contacted by phone. After finding out these checks are fraudulant, I will be filing a complaint against this XXXX company that sent the checks to me.

Complaint narrative:
Our mortgage loan with SunTrust was barely 2 months late when the bank representative did not respond to an email I sent with the funds at least 8 hours before the cutoff notice. I still have a record of that email and the communications I had with the SunTrust mortgage bank representative. The end result was that SunTrust then forced us to complete a modification with their own Wholly owned subsidiary XXXX XXXX XXXX bank which forced us into more fees added to our mortgage outstanding loan and a longer time to process it. This scenario set the stage for at least XXXX other modifications later that has now resulted in a house that is under water and a balance that is inaccurate. The original loan amount was {$210000.00} in XXXX and at that time we made a down payment of {$13000.00} As of XXXX we are told that the balance owed is still {$210000.00}

Complaint narrative:
I had a student loan with XXXX that was sold to AES. Which is when my problems started. I was paying them consistently for a few years then around fall of 2015 I changed something with my bank and forget to set up the payments again. I started getting notifications in the mail and called to request a Forbearance on XXXX XXXX, 2015. The lady on the phone read me a bunch of information and said that I must agree to them then said I was approved for the forbearance. Then in early XXXX I started receiving more phone calls from AES. Today, XXXX XXXX I called AES to see why they are still harassing me. I spoke to XXXX in the Graduate and Professional Services within AES. XXXX said that my forbearance request was never approved or denied and that the person on the phone told me they would be sending me some forms to fill out and sign and that once it was sent out I would have 30 days to return it and then they would tell me if I was approved. I WAS NEVER TOLD ABOUT THIS LETTER TO BE SIGNED AND FILLED OUT AND I WAS TOLD ON XXXX XXXX THAT I WAS APPROVED FOR THE FORBEARANCE. XXXX said they mailed me the forms on XXXX XXXX. On the XXXX of XXXX I was told by XXXX I was 30 days past due on my payments. They have already reported the 30 days past due on my credit report. He would not tell me when they did this. So they basically did n't give me time to even return the forms in 30 days ( the forms that they never told me about in the first place ) before they reported this to the credit bureaus. I did what I was supposed to do and it seems like unless I paid in full they had every intention to ruin my credit. By ruining my credit this prevents me from getting a student loan for my next semester of law school. I also have to maintain good credit to keep my job. This negative report can ruin my life. I 've been paying for years and after 30 days of being late they just put this on my credit and I called before 30 days were up. Please help me.
