State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Hello, My name is XXXX XXXX and I'm placing a complaint regarding improper use of my credit report as follows : According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act 15 USC1681 section 602 a states " There is a need to insure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumers right to privacy. 

XXXX XXXX and Experian are reporting agencies and I am the Consumer. I have the right to make sure my private information isn't shared which is backed by 15 USC 6801 which states '' It is the policy of the Congress that each financial institution has an affirmative and continuing obligation to respect the privacy of its customers and to protect the security and confidentiality of those customers nonpublic personal information.

" ( Furnisher of information to credit agencies ) is a financial institution by definition under that title. 15 USC 1681 section 604 a section 2 states that " In general Subject to subsection ( c ), any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : in accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates.

" According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), you are required by federal law to verify - through the physical verification of the original signed consumer contract - any and all accounts you post on a credit report. Otherwise, anyone paying for your reporting services could fax, mail or email in a fraudulent account.

I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) you have on file of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit Under the FCRA, unverified accounts must be removed and if you are unable to provide me a copy of verifiable proof, you must remove the accounts listed below.

Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Opening an account — Didn't receive terms that were advertised
Company: CITIZENS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
Around XX/XX/XXXX, just like many others, I received invitations to open checking accounts with promotional offers from many financial institutions like Citizens Bank. After careful review of terms and conditions, I opened a checking account with a {$300.00} welcome bonus offer. I fulfilled all the requirements including the minimum deposit and set up direct deposits from my pay roll company. Ive attached terms and conditions for this offer to be reviewed and Citizens Bank confirmation that the account was succesfully approved with promotional offer XXXX and XXXX XX/XX/XXXX to receive the bonus advertised. On XX/XX/XXXX, after not receiving the bonus, I called Citizens Bank customer service for about an hour to find out that my offer was not honored due to a system error, being the code confused with a HELOC offer instead and the only solution provided was to wait another six months to apply again with no certainty about the amount of the welcome bonus then. This is clearly unfair and deceptive practices and I expect Citizens Bank to honor their terms offered considering that I complied with every single of the conditions required.

Product: Credit card — Store credit card
Issue: Advertising and marketing, including promotional offers — Didn't receive advertised or promotional terms
Company: TD BANK US HOLDING COMPANY
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/2023 I was approved for a Target Red Card in which I applied due to a {$40.00} promotion they were offering on their website XXXX. I got my card in the mail and I was supposed to receive the {$40.00} promotion along with my card. I called and asked why I did not receive the {$40.00} promotion and they said I didn't qualify, because I didn't apply in time. I told them that I clicked on their {$40.00} promotion Ad online and that is why I applied, because of the {$40.00} promotion. After further research and hold time, the target card representative came back and said oh yes you do qualify, I will send it in the mail. I never received it, so I called back a few weeks later and they told me that as a one time courtesy, they mailed the promotion already and would be able to send another one. I told them I never received it, and they said they can not do anything. 
XX/XX/2023, I mailed them a letter to the corporate office which I have documented requesting my promotion. XX/XX/XXXX, they responded that they already sent my coupon within the past 12 months and won't be able to send another one. If I had any concerns to contact the customer service number. I contacted them and spoke to a Supervisor, XXXX who said he only has access to resend the coupon once. I told him everything mentioned above and how it has been such a huge inconvenience in order to get my promotion and he said he can't do anything, so I filed a complaint with him reference # XXXX to be escalated to upper management. I explained that this is a fraud and a scam they should honor their promotion and this is against the law. Its a shame I have to report fraud against a credit card company itself that I am supposed to do business with. Target, a big, well-known, and respected American Retail corporation. What a shame that I have to make such effort as a consumer and spend my time and energy to fight this {$40.00} promotion, but here I am. I will also be filing a report with the California State Attorney General Regulatory Office as well and possibly filing a class action law suit. This is not about the {$40.00} promotion at this point, its about the integrity of Target Corporation in which I no longer feel comfortable doing business with. I feel taken advantage of, scammed and mistreated. Bottom line, this isnt right!
