Company: TFS FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I contacted ThirdFederal on XX/XX/year> to close my HELOC account. They stated they would not close the account until a {$65.00} administrative fee was paid. The fee was not due for another 30 days and is a yearly administrative fee. When I explained I should not be forced to pay a fee for an account that will not be staying open I was told I needed to pay it. 

This is a predatory practice as I had no other option but to pay the fee or risk damage to my credit. I have now paid a administrative fee to keep the HELOC open for another 12 months even though my desire was to close it. 

I then asked if they could let me know how much notice they need to not be assessed another fee next year since 30 days was not enough and they never replied.

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION

Complaint narrative:
I was involved in identity theft and several credit cards were opened or tried to be opened in my name. Several I was denied, and letters came to my house for denials. These were opened in my name, and I have been sent bills to pay that I was never aware of having these cards opened or using them. 

I have not paid any of these, I want them cancelled, my name removed from them, and any derogatory marks removed from my credit score. 

Capital One was opened in my name and I never opened this card or requested it. I received a letter about a credit increase request dated XX/XX/XXXX that I did not request and luckily it was denied. I received a letter stating my account was past due on XX/XX/XXXX, which I new nothing about as I called in XX/XX/XXXX to let them know I never opened this card.I received a bill from them dated XX/XX/XXXX - XXXX XXXX with a past due amount of {$740.00}. I never had a chance to call them again, as I have several other cards with fraudulent charges of over {$21000.00}. These were more pressing and I just want this removed from my credit report and this card cancelled as I am not liable for this one either. 

I have been told not to pay any of these fraudulent accounts by federal agencies, as I am not liable. This is why they are in collections. I pay all of my legitimate bills on time and before all of this happened to me, my credit score was XXXX.
