Product: Credit card — Store credit card
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: AL

Complaint narrative:
TD bank made errors on my account within months of opening. Repeatedly asked for corrections to be made.The made adjustments after several months but still had it wrong. I had a set payment amount on each device I purchased from XXXX. There was no interest to be paid if that set amount was paid every month. In XX/XX/XXXX XXXX  added a device to my account that I didnt have. Several months passed before attempts were made to fix this and late fees started accumulating. TD  bank repeatedly claims they made the corrections to reflect on my account. They never could seem to get my account accurate and I refused to pay amounts on a device I didnt own. They removed XXXX late fee as said " a XXXX time courtesy removal '' They stated that any future late fees could not be removed. The late fees were the results of careless data entered into their system by their own employees. This went on for numerous months, then it happened again in XX/XX/XXXX. I got so tired of arguing and fighting to correct their own mistakes. I honestly believe that it was all being done purposely. They stared reporting to my credit to deliberately hurt my good credit. XXXX has refused to force TD  bank to make corrections and use a complete entry. I have repeatedly disputed the accuracy of the Account and requested that file be complete. So much information withheld by TD bank because it will show inaccurate information. I disputed the account completely in XX/XX/XXXX after years of trying to correct issues that should have never been made. TD bank has a very extensive history of this kind of conduct.

The breach has resulted in, damage to my credit score, unauthorized purchases, harassment by debt XXXX for debts that are not mine. I did not authorize these actions or provide consent for any entity to access or use my personal information in this way.

This situation has caused significant stress, financial harm, and damage to my creditworthiness. I have been denied credit, faced higher interest rates, and spent countless hours trying to rectify the situation. 

I am requesting the assistance of the Federal Trade Commission and the relevant authorities to investigate this breach, ensure compliance with consumer protection laws, and help me restore my financial integrity.

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: MN

Complaint narrative:
A scammer broke into my Wells Fargo account and did a cash transfer from my credit card. This scammer had an elaborate game and convinced me that he was from Wells Fargo fraud. He said there was a problem with the branches due to an insider taking money. He directed me to deposit the cash advance into another bank account, which he emptied. I understand that, legally, I am responsible as I unwittingly deposited the money. This was a large sum of money. I have never done a cash transfer before. I received a legitimate text from Wells Fargo but was on my phone with the scammer who said we were working on that problem. Interestingly, I did reply to the text later when I realized I was scammed. The scammer replied. I did not follow through with that. Why is Wells Fargo at least partially responsible? The amount was {$XXXX}. The teller didn't say anything about how unusual this was. If the law allows for crypto and bitcoin, why not this situation.

Complaint narrative:
The glaring absence of concrete evidence to support its reliability, combined with the dissemination of unverified information, represents a clear violation of the statutory requirements outlined in 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ). This lack of compliance is not only troubling but also deeply frustrating, given the critical importance of adhering to legal obligations.

Therefore, I strongly advocate for the immediate removal of this account in accordance with the specified regulations, unless verifiable evidence is promptly provided to establish its authenticity. Any delay in addressing this issue exacerbates the frustration caused by the apparent disregard for regulatory protocols and the legal standards that ensure fairness and accuracy.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: MO

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the reporting of XXXX accounts on my Experian Credit Report, which has been inaccurately reported as a collection/charge-off. This incorrect reporting is negatively impacting my credit score. 

Affirm Account Numbers : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), it is your responsibility to ensure that the information reported to credit bureaus is accurate, complete, and verifiable. Upon reviewing my credit report, I identified discrepancies regarding this account, including the following : 1. Charge-Off with Balance : The account is reported as a charge-off while still reflecting a balance, which appears to be inconsistent with standard reporting practices. A charge-off indicates the account has been written off as a loss and should no longer carry a balance.

2. Past Due Balance : The report reflects a past due balance, which is inconsistent with the charge-off status. This inconsistency raises serious concerns about the accuracy and completeness of the reporting. 

Pursuant to the FCRA, I hereby request a reinvestigation into the accuracy of the information reported on this account. I demand the following actions : 1. A detailed explanation of why a balance and past due amount are still being reported while the account is marked as a charge-off.

2. The immediate deletion of any inaccurate information related to this account from my credit file.

3. Confirmation of compliance with all applicable federal and state laws regarding accurate reporting practices.

Please consider this letter my formal dispute under the FCRA and provide a written response within the legally required timeframe of 30 days. I have enclosed a copy of my credit report for your reference. 

Thank you for your attention and prompt resolution of this issue.
