Company: Netspend Corporation
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, Netspend sent an ambiguous email about a problem with the account. I attempted to reach Netspend for several days, in which hold times would exceed 2+ hours and nobody would answer the phone. Moreover, the two times calls were actually answered, the agents taking the calls appeared to be non-US citizens located outside of the United States. The customer service was abysmal, and I was spoken to with disrespect, and had both calls disconnected twice. 

Netspend representatives claims that I needed to send them a valid I.D for account authentication, and then the account would be immediately unblocked. Once Netspend received the above captioned information, the company began to request a slew of invasive documentation. Netspend has refused to disclose any further information, and responding agents continue to submit lies and other misleading information. 

Finally, I alerted Netspend that I would compel arbitration if the company did not resolve the issues and, as a result, Netspend took retaliation in the form of sending additional emails with further restrictions on the account.

Complaint narrative:
The conspicuous lack of concrete evidence substantiating its reliability, coupled with the circulation of unverified information, constitutes a flagrant violation of the statutory provisions outlined in 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ). Such regulatory non-compliance is not merely disconcerting but also vexing, considering the paramount importance of adherence to legal mandates. Consequently, I emphatically endorse the prompt deletion of this account in alignment with the stipulated regulations, unless credible evidence is promptly furnished to affirm its authenticity. The failure to promptly rectify this matter further compounds the exasperation stemming from the disregard for legal protocols.

Company: TD BANK US HOLDING COMPANY
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX XXXX XXXX I purchased a couch from XXXX XXXX, which is owned by XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX, Virginia. I made all of my payments on-time and closed my account. I later learned I missed a payment and accumulated many fees. 

The one time I was able to connect with someone I offered to pay the balance I owe for the couch, which I was told is {$46.00}. I have accumulated fees over {$200.00} because of this. I was then passed between account services and customer services with no help. Then they hung up on me. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX has changed their online platform 3 times in two years. I called the number 12 times to talk to a representative. ( I am currently on-hold as I type this ). I was able to get through one time, but have been unsuccessful 10 ( maybe 11 as I am still on hold ). 

I asked to dispute the fees and was told it will take 45 days and the fees will continue to accumulate during this time. 

I continue to call back and stay on hold for over 60 minutes. No one will answer the phone. It seems many other consumers have had a similar issue.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
Dear XXXX XXXX Transunion I am writing to formally dispute an entry on my credit report regarding a collection account with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX This account does not belong to me, and I am requesting that it be removed from my credit report immediately. 
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681, I have the right to dispute inaccurate information on my credit report, and you are required to investigate and remove any information that can not be verified as accurate. I have never had any business dealings, nor have I signed any contract or agreement with XXXX XXXX XXXX. Therefore, I am not legally obligated to pay this alleged debt. 

Additionally, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), 15 U.S.C. 1692, prohibits collection agencies from attempting to collect debts that are not valid or that do not belong to the consumer. Specifically, the FDCPA prohibits any form of false representation of the character, amount, or legal status of the debt. Since I have no contract or agreement with XXXX XXXX XXXX, any attempt to collect this debt is in violation of the FDCPA. 

Please conduct a thorough investigation of this matter. If XXXX XXXX XXXX can not provide evidence that this debt is legitimate and that I am indeed responsible for it, you are required to delete this account from my credit report pursuant to the FCRA. 

I request that you provide me with written confirmation once the investigation has been completed and the inaccurate information has been removed. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I expect this issue to be resolved as soon as possible, as it is damaging to my creditworthiness and does not reflect my actual financial history. 

This letter asserts your rights under the FCRA and FDCPA, two key laws related to credit disputes. If XXXX can not verify the accuracy of the debt, they must remove it from your report.
