Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: TD BANK US HOLDING COMPANY
State: OR

Complaint narrative:
I had a TD Bank credit card which I last used in early XXXX. Although I cant say with certainty when my credit card was stolen, when I noticed fraudulent charges on my statement, on XX/XX/XXXX, by phone, I disputed the charges for {$5400.00} incurred between XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX I disputed the charges posted on XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX. I closed the account to ensure that there would be no further fraudulent charges. In correspondence dated XX/XX/XXXX, I was informed that there had been a determination that no fraud had occurred. The sole justification included was that " similar transactions were authorized by you, and the spending pattern is consistent with previous account history. '' No further explanation was given, nor was I ever contacted to provide additional information. It is clear that a thorough investigation was not conducted as the fraudulent spending included over 20 car related transactions and I do not have a car and have never made vehicle transactions similar to the pattern used by the thief. I worked XXXX from XXXX Monday through Thursday during the time period in question. By phone on XX/XX/XXXX, I requested the documentation used in making the decisions. I have yet to receive this information. Subsequently I received a letter dated XX/XX/XXXX informing me that payment was due on the disputed fraudulent charges. I sent a certified letter with return receipt requested noting my continued dispute but the bank refused to sign for the letter. To assist in resolving the matter and to aid in my own understanding of the fraud I have listed the charges in date order. I have looked up addresses to the extent possible but because I am not a customer of these merchants, this information may not be complete.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the unavailability of my credit data from your bureau ( EQUIFAX ). As a diligent consumer who consistently monitors their credit profile, I am troubled by the recent discovery that vital information seems to be missing from your records. Despite being proactive in managing my finances and ensuring timely payments on all accounts, I have encountered significant hurdles due to the absence of my credit data from your bureau. This has not only caused inconvenience but has also put me in a precarious position, especially concerning recent financial transactions and loan applications. I have made numerous attempts to address this issue through your customer service channels, but regrettably, the resolution process has been slow and ineffective. As a result, I find myself facing unnecessary challenges in accessing essential financial services and opportunities.

Complaint narrative:
After recent review of my Credit Report, I found an loan account reported in my name for {$5200.00} by the AQUA FINANCE COMPANY. 
I called Aqua Finance and asked them about this account. They informed me that I was indeed a borrower on this account, along with a relative. I immediately contacted this relative and asked them about this account. They told me that when they got this loan, my information was given to the company as a " Reference Only ''. They were never told that I was co-signing or a borrower for his loan. 
I called Aqua Finance back and informed them that I had no knowledge of this loan prior to it being taken out, I had a long conversation with one of their Reps, and it was really understood that I knew nothing about nor did I ever give anyone permission to use my personal information to acquire a loan from this company.
