Company: TD BANK US HOLDING COMPANY
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against TD Bank for falsely reporting a 30-day late payment to the credit bureaus, which has significantly damaged my credit. 

Here are the facts : My payment due date was XX/XX/2025, with a total minimum due of {$300.00} ( as shown on my official TD Bank statement ). 

I made a partial payment of {$150.00} on XX/XX/XXXX XXXX 

I made a second payment of {$350.00} on XX/XX/, just six days after the due date. 

These payments total {$500.00}, far more than the amount due. 

Despite this, TD Bank : Charged a {$40.00} late fee on XX/XX/XXXX XXXX  ( just two days after the due date ). 

Reported my account as 30 days late to the credit bureaus, even though I was never 30 days past due and had already overpaid. 

This reporting is inaccurate, harmful, and violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). I made multiple attempts to resolve this through TD Banks customer service portal, but I received only automated replies and no resolution. 

This incorrect reporting has now significantly lowered my credit score, jeopardizing my financial stability and future access to credit. TD Bank has previously faced enforcement actions for similar behavior, and this appears to be part of an ongoing pattern of improper reporting and consumer harm.
