Complaint narrative:
I signed up for a XXXX through TD Bank under promotional terms. The offer was a {$200.00} cash rewards bonus reflected on the account in 6-8 weeks after spending {$1500.00} in total net purchases within 90 days of account opening. I met the promotional spending terms by my XXXX XXXX statement ( well within 90 days of account opening ). By the terms of the offer, I should have received the cash rewards bonus no later than 8 weeks from XXXX XXXX, which would be XXXX XXXX. I have not received the bonus. I have sent ~XXXX secure emails and called ~XXXX times. TD Bank always has a different story. When I called in XXXX, I was told I would see the bonus on my XXXX statement. That did not happen. When I called today ( XXXX ), I was told the bonus would post 6-8 weeks after the first 90 days. However, this is not how the offer terms are written, and at this point the bank seems to be doing anything it can to avoid honoring the terms of the offer.

Spoke with the supervisor. She spoke down to me, disrespected me, and raised her voice to me. All i had asked was to negotiate a settlement on a debt and she went off. " Why do you think we have to settle you? Do we owe YOU money? No. You must pay bills in full. " She has trained all her staff to treat people the same degrading way. It is a disgusting company. 
I will not do ANY business with company. I will not be the one putting food in that pigs mouth.

Complaint narrative:
I applied for and received a TD Cash Rewards XXXX XXXX credit card in XXXX XXXX. On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX I received the card in the mail. The letter I received from TD Bank stated that I would earn 5 % cash rewards on eligible retail purchases ( defined as dining, grocery, gas, cable, phone and utility bill payments ) during the first XXXX billing cycles, up to {$450.00} cash back ( a copy of the letter is attached ). When I called to activate the card I was also informed that if I spent {$500.00} in the first 90 days I would receive a {$200.00} cash bonus and a XXXX Galaxy Tab 2 tablet. I received my first statement on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX and did not receive the 5 % cash rewards I was promised. I called TD Bank on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX and spoke to Floor Supervisor XXXX XXXX. I was told that the card had been " coded incorrectly '' so I was only receiving 2 % cash back on " eligible purchases '' ( defined as dining, grocery, gas, cable, phone and utility bill payments made using the card ). XXXX XXXX told me that the account would be recoded and that I would definitely receive the 5 % cash back along with the {$200.00} bonus and tablet. She said that she would call me back in 7-10 business days. I contacted TD Bank again on XXXX and was told that XXXX XXXX had not received a response from corporate and that I would hear back within 5 business days. I received my second statement on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX and again did not receive the correct 5 % cash back on eligible purchases. I spoke with TD Card services on XXXX and was told that XXXX XXXX had still not received a response from corporate and was resending her email to them. At this point I have exhausted my patience.

Company: TD BANK US HOLDING COMPANY

Complaint narrative:
( This is what I sent to Target on XX/XX/2016 ) To Whom It May Concern : I am writing to correct a negative " Charge Off '' account listed on my recent credit report. My wife and I have worked very hard to keep our excellent credit history and just discovered a delinquency in a Target RedCard account. The timing could not be worse as we are trying for a home mortgage and this small account has devastated our normal 800+ credit score and will ultimately cost us many thousands in increased credit costs. It is our only negative account. 
I just spoke with XXXX at your customer service center and, in good faith, paid off the account in full even though it was already charged off 11 days prior. XXXX and I discovered that an incorrect address was inputted by the Target employee where we applied for the store card and all account mailings were returned to Target as undeliverable. The target employee never asked me if the address was correct and never took my email address when I applied for the card. My correct cell phone was on the account but was never called. I never received a single correspondence or phone call regarding this store card. 
I demand that this charge off/paid in full account be deleted from my credit report. I accept full responsibility for not contacting Target as to why we were n't receiving an account statement but Target never even bothered to call my cell phone to say there was a problem with the account. I am also contacting the credit bureaus to try and remedy this. Please note my Massachusetts driver 's license and the incorrect mailing address that was used to process my XXXX application. Thank you. 
( The amount we placed on the card was around {$170.00}. I worked with the Massachusetts AG office for weeks but Target refused to removed the charge off from my credit report. Would you please help me restore my otherwise perfect credit history? )

I am an account holder with TD Bank. I sought to deposit a number of checks yesterday at the branch located at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX PA XXXX, including XXXX check that my husband signed over to me. My husband was with me and showed them a valid PA driver 's license for ID. They refused to deposit it and then refused me any service at all when I insisted that they provide me with this simple banking service. The branch manager was completely unhelpful and unaware of and uninterested in basic banking regulations and my rights as a consumer. Decent customer service was absent. I called the XXXX number for customer service, and there was no satisfactory result. I was told that I could not speak to an upper level supervisor, the person with whom I was speaking would not identify himself other than a XXXX name ; and he refused to provide a control number for the call. I will be closing my account and taking my business elsewhere. I advise others to avoid this institution.

Complaint narrative:
I understand that must repay the loan ( s ). My issue is the monthly amount that I have to pay. I had to take XXXX loans from my 401k to finish paying for my degree as the amount of Federal Aid did not cover XXXX %. The problem is that I am not able to pay the full amount each month because the 401k loan automatically comes out of my check each week. I have been making payments towards my student loans even before they were officially due. In the future, I will be able to pay more towards my student loans once my 401k loan is paid back. I simply do not make enough money to pay the requested amount.

Complaint narrative:
I had a checking account with TD Bank and was in a dispute with them over fees charged and told them I was going to open an account at another bank which I have done. In the meantime my insurance company XXXX deposited {$410.00} into the TD account instead of into my new account. The amount deposited was {$410.00} on XX/XX/2016 by ACH transaction ( electronic deposit ). I no longer have an ATM card with TD bank as I no longer use this account. I went to TD Bank to get my {$410.00} out and they said this is a " credit only account '' which means deposits can be made but I cant take anything out. I asked why I can not take the money out since the money is mine and I broke my toe and need to pay the Doctor bills with this money. TD BANK customer service told me to come in and close out the account and they would not be able to give me the money since I owe {$560.00} on my account. I told them I do not owe them anything and they are not correct as I dispute those fees and will continue to dispute them. They are blackmailing me saying the {$410.00} will sit in my account until I come in and close out my account but I told them I am not going to do that unless they remove the excessive fees they charged me which I am in dispute of. TD Bank told me NO. XXXX said they can not take the money out of the TD Bank account even though it was an honest mistake on XXXX part, I would like the {$410.00} balance mailed to my home address. The bank can not hold this money from what my Attorney has said. ( I asked for a free consultation with my Lawyer ). He told me they are illegally holding these funds since nothing showing due on this account and there is a credit of {$410.00}. if TD Bank does not mail me this money asap I am getting an Attorney involved in this!

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are handled
Company: GREAT LAKES
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
I have my student loan through Great Lakes. I pay my normal monthly payment via Auto Pay on the XXXX of each month, which is the due date. I supposedly receive .XXXX % off of my interest for being enrolled in Auto Pay. I also make additional payments of between $ XXXX {$200.00} at the end of each month via the website. There is a feature that allows me to allocate which loan I want the extra payment to go to. Of course, I always choose it to be XXXX % allocated to the loan with both the highest balance and highest interest rate. I recently discovered that it has never actually been allocated that way, contrary to what I believed. 

I sent in XXXX emails over the last week inquiring about this, and when I finally heard back all I received was a FAQ answer about how extra payments are applied ( which I already knew, and which was not being applied as it said it was supposed to be ). I called and spoke to someone for XXXX minutes today. He explained to me that my Auto Pay is set up to make payments on the XXXX of the month, which is my due date. Thus, the extra payments I make at the end of the month are not considered to be extra, but instead considered to be my normal payment. As such, they can not be allocated to specific loans. 

The gentleman then went on to tell me that I will have to change the date of my Auto Pay via the website ( he said he was not able to help me with that over the phone ) to be earlier in the pay cycle so that my extra payments could actually be considered extra payments. I went online to change it, and the website states it only allows Auto Payments to be processed on the due date and not any earlier. 

Now I 'm stuck between paying all of this extra money every month just to have it only go towards the interest on XXXX different loans, or canceling my Auto Pay and having my interest rates bumped up. I believe this is totally and completely unethical, and I think this company should be investigated for fraudulent and unethical business practices. They make it absolutely impossible to make any headway with getting these loans paid off! I pay almost {$400.00} per month, and the outstanding balance only decreases about $ XXXX {$40.00} every month! Help!!!
