Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Advertising and marketing, including promotional offers — Confusing or misleading advertising about the credit card
Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
Discover always offers XXXX balance transfer promos. XXXX offer is XXXX interest for XXXX, the other is 3.99 % for XXXX. On XXXX I accepted both offers and transferred {$4000.00} to each offer. Their payment allocation is confusing and doesn't make financial sense. They state they apply the min payment to the lowest interest rate and any additional amount to the highest interest rate first then downward. The minimum payment is much much less than it would take to pay down {$4000.00} in 10 months. I have been making additional payments only to see my balances currently sit at {$3300.00} for the 0 % transfer balance that expires XXXX and {$2400.00} for the 3.99 % transfer balance that expires XXXX. I contacted them by chat and have the chat session saved. The XXXX then XXXX insists that they can't change the allocation of my payment in order to pay the XXXX balance first NOR could they answer my question of " How do I pay off the balance that expires XXXX without paying off the other that doesn't expire until next XXXX? '' To me this makes no sense that they offer both with different expiration dates but apply all additional monies to the one that has the longer term. This is a no-win situation. Other companies like XXXX and XXXX offer 0 % promos and I can ask them to allocate additional payments to those promos. Same with XXXX XXXX. The wording for their allocation explanation is that they " MAY apply the portion of your payments up to your minimum payment due to lower APR balances first ''. That word suggests that there could be another option. It goes on to say " Generally, payments above your minimum payment due will be applied to your highest-rate balances first. '' The word " GENERALLY '' suggests that there are other options. But according to the chat session, there are NO OTHER OPTIONS to allocate payments in order to pay my XXXX balance off first. This deceptive language is meant to give people a false sense of being able to pay off these transfer balances in time to prevent being charges the much higher interest rate Discover charges on regular purchases. I can provide all the messaging on the Discover website for this and my statements as well as the chat transcript.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against my loan servicer, 1666B, for inaccurately reporting multiple late payments on my credit report.

I was repeatedly told by loan officers at 1666B that my accounts would be paused, placed in forbearance, or temporarily suspended. Based on their instructions, I believed no payments were due during these periods. However, they failed to process the pause correctly and never notified me by email, text, or phone that the loans had become delinquent.

As a result, I was unaware of any issues until I reviewed my credit report and saw the late payments listed. I have attempted to dispute these inaccuracies directly with the credit bureaus and with 1666B, but the late payments remain, despite the fact that they are the result of internal error and poor communication by the loan servicer.

Company: TD BANK US HOLDING COMPANY
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
Fopr the XXXX time this years, a fraudulent charge was made to my credit card/ Apparently the only action taken by TD bank is the cancellation of the card and the issuance of a new card. TD bank makes no attempt to trace the source of the fraudulent charge such as locating the fraudster or locate the bank institution that is servicing the fraudster I am forced to go to the bank and be issued a be issued a hew card. Since i use the card for automatic monthly payments for a half dozen or so service provider s suck car insurance premium, telephone service internet and other monthlyptoviders, I have to take the time and make the effort to contact each and every provider to change my card number. 
TD bank has the information and the ability to trace the bank that is servicing these fraudsters but refuses to take the time or use tt resources to to so resources to do so. 

If they did, it would reduce the instances of fraud. But that would require an effort and some expense. 
Imsead TD bank takes the easy way out, which only only perpetuates the incidences of fraud.

Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low — Overdrafts and overdraft fees
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, Wells Fargo charged me XXXX overdraft fees even though my account was never truly overdrawn. I had initiated a {$500.00} transfer from my XXXX account before the fees were assessed, and the transfer was pending that same day. When the deposit posted later that day, my account balance was positive. 
I contacted Wells Fargo via secure message and live chat to request a processing adjustment ( not a courtesy refund ) due to a bank timing/posting order issue. Frontline support repeatedly cited the " XXXX per 12 months courtesy refund policy '', which is unrelated to this type of adjustment. 
This case was escalated to the XXXX XXXX XXXX, which has authority to override courtesy refund limits. I called them directly at the number provided, XXXX, but they still refused to reverse the fees, again citing the courtesy refund policy despite my clear explanation that this was not a discretionary waiver request. 
This was not a legitimate overdraft. The fees were the result of a same-day posting order mismatch, not a lack of funds. The bank 's own transaction timing caused the appearance of a negative balance even when though the funds were already in transit. Treating this as a courtesy refund request rather than a timing adjustment is both unfair and incorrect.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( XXXX ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. 

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.
