Company: TRUIST FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
From the second they merged and took over my former SunTrust account, Truist has been a clown show of incredibly poor, actually nonexistent customer service. I had this former SunTrust HELOC that was closed during the real estate crash when my home collapsed in value in XXXX. I had been making regular payments on time since to pay off a fixed rate remaining balance. On XX/XX/XXXX I PAID IN FULL the entire balance. I attempted to request both a PAID IN FULL/XXXX  BALANCE/ACCOUNT CLOSED letter and also that Truist file the SATISFACTION OF MORTGAGE and send me a copy. The supposed customer service reps I communicated with seemed to believe this account is somehow still open. IT HAD BEEN CLOSED SINCE XXXX! IT IS NOW PAID OFF. ( XXXX ) I demand a letter acknowledging that this account is PAID IN FULL/XXXX  XXXX and CLOSED. ( XXXX ) I demand that this be reported to the credit bureaus by Truist as PAID IN FULL/XXXX  XXXX and CLOSED. ( XXXX ) I demand that Truist immediately record and file the SATISFACTION OF MORTGAGE and send me a copy.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I am a XXXX customer with an active account that is in good standing. A few months ago, I started receiving letters in the mail stating that I had a bill of {$1000.00}. I immediately logged into my XXXX account and saw that it had nothing to do with me, so I assumed it was a scam and ignored it. However, after receiving the same bill three times, I called XXXX to ask them what it was about. They told me that they didn't know and that my normal account was fine. I asked them to remove it from my name, and they said they would. 

However, I continued to receive the same letter repeatedly, so I called XXXX again to ask what was happening. The person on the other end of the line informed me that the account had come back as accurate. When I asked why they hadn't contacted me, the person didn't know what to say. They then called the fraud department, who advised them that it was a mistake made by a XXXX representative in store and that customer service needed to cancel the account. They assured me that it would be taken care of. 

However, by this time, the account had been linked to my SSN and reported on my credit report as a missed payment. I asked the person on the phone to ensure that it was removed from my credit report, and they assured me that it would be done within seven business days. This was before XX/XX/2023. After a few days, I checked my credit report again and saw that it had been sent to a collection agency. After spending more hours on the phone with XXXX, I realized that the previous agent had closed the account but had not removed the balance, leaving me in a more serious problem, which was a collection. They advised me to file a dispute, but it did not help. 

Now, I am fed up with XXXX. I have not been able to obtain more credit because of this issue, and nobody at XXXX is taking it seriously. I don't understand why, if a XXXX representative made a mistake, it should be my responsibility. I am extremely upset and want to sue them for this. Additionally, they should erase this delinquency from all three credit agencies.

Company: TD BANK US HOLDING COMPANY
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
My account, money and personal information was stolen 3 times from ''TD Bank '' within one month because they do not have any type of security in this institution. I believe since TD Bank was sued for stealing and overcharging customers on unauthorized transactions, etc. this is their new way to steal, by cooperating with cyber-delinquents that probably work for them too. No matter if the criminals confess they stole your account and your money, they do not do anything about unauthorized transactions, THEY DO NOT RECOVER OR REFUND STOLEN MONEY, no matter how small or large is the amount. THEY DO NOT PROTECT CONSUMERS PRIVATE INFORMATION. I will be next suing them after this, and I am also able to serve anyone as a witness. I have proof that my information was stolen from this bank, proof that the criminals refused to answer any question or justify the charges, and proof that the bank refused to do anything about after they neglected my information and account

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I was contacted via email offering for me to refinance my auto loan with a lower interest or payment. I responded and provided all information. The process to pay off my previous lender was tedious and required multiple phone calls to Capital One. The payoff occurred later than agreed. 

I contacted Capital One Auto who informed me that the first payment on my new loan with Capital One would be due XX/XX/XXXX. XX/XX/XXXX I began getting notices that my payment was late and I would incur a late fee. Capital One called me on XX/XX/XXXX I spoke with XXXX at Capital One. The call was incoming to me from XXXX at Capital One. XXXX verified the payment was to be due on XX/XX/XXXX and was to update the account accordingly. The update never occurred. 

I emailed and called Capital One on Monday, XX/XX/XXXX. I spoke with an account representative in the executive resolution department who verified the account was to be due on XX/XX/XXXX and I was told that the update XXXX processed took 48 hours to reflect in the system. I was told not to worry and that Capital One didn't want to lose me as a customer. 

As of today I am again being charged a late fee and the update for when the first payment was to be due has not been reflected in the account. I paid my XX/XX/XXXX payment on time and as agreed. The first payment on the loan was to be due on XX/XX/XXXX. Capital One delayed paying my previous lender in a timely manner leading to this situation. I considered cancelling the refinance when the process was delayed and was assured my first payment would not be due until XX/XX/XXXX as the delay was not my fault.
