Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/2025 I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate information on my credit report that I believe is harming my financial well-being. I am aware of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act and request a thorough investigation into these inaccuracies, as required by federal law. 
Recently, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau filed a lawsuit against Experian for its failure to properly investigate consumer disputes, citing " sham investigations '' and other unlawful practices. These practices, as outlined by the CFPB, include : Conducting inadequate investigations that fail to address consumer disputes properly.

Reinserting previously disputed and inaccurate information without explanation. 
Failing to notify consumers about investigation results effectively. 
These allegations highlight systemic issues that directly undermine consumer protections and perpetuate the inclusion of inaccurate information on credit reports. I am deeply concerned that my dispute may be mishandled in a similar manner.

Company: TD BANK US HOLDING COMPANY
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Hello, I'm reaching out to basically ask why i shouldn't consider suing td bank / closing my account at td bank because you refuse to even offer me what is legally required of you? I don't want to say that, but you keep screwing me over though, in ways that i cant just overlook either. 

For example, i stopped by XXXX of your ATMs probably around XXXX  months ago to deposit {$50.00} into my account, with everything being fine, but then it spat the money back out when i clicked the final button of " finish transaction '' and refused to give my card back, without any explanation as well, so i walked inside asking for a new card since they refused to give me my old one back for unknown reasons, which took like XXXX minutes by itself asking me like a dozen different questions. I then finally received a new card. Not only did i never receive an explanation for what happened that day, nor an apology either ( you literally wasted my time ), and OUTRIGHT REFUSE TO LET ME DEPOSIT MONEY INTO MY OWN ACCOUNT ( which is obviously illegal of you do to ), but you also treated me as if i was a criminal for doing so, you treated me that way for simply trying to actually use my account. That now leads me to what happened recently. I ordered some food on the XXXX bread app to have it delivered to my apartment, but I'm assuming the app glitched because after placing the order it was suddenly an " in restaurant / pick up '' order with no way to cancel it, so i reached out to costumer service on the app asking for a refund and assumed they were processing the refund ( which is why it took a week to post to my account instead of XXXX days ) but they decided to still bill me anyways, for an order i never received. The reason why that last example directly involves td bank is because i tried to file a dispute on my bank account earlier about the charge, but you literally refuse to let me file a dispute about it, saying i must call in and speak with someone about possibly filing a dispute instead.

Complaint narrative:
" I am disputing inaccuracies on my credit report and requesting the immediate removal of specific accounts and items. These inaccuracies include unauthorized negative entries, incorrect addresses, and hard inquiries reported without my consent. These actions violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act ( FACTA ), particularly 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, which requires consumer reporting agencies to block or delete information reported without written consent.

You have failed to ensure maximum possible accuracy, as required under 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ). The reporting of unauthorized data also breaches 15 U.S.C. 1681b, which governs permissible purposes for obtaining and reporting consumer data. The inaccuracies have caused harm to my creditworthiness, and despite providing documentation, these errors remain uncorrected.
