Consumer complaint received 2017-11-03 00:00:00
Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Managing an account — Banking errors
Company: TD BANK US HOLDING COMPANY
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
On Sunday XXXX XXXX 2017 I walked into a TD Bank in XXXX N.J. to deposit a check that I was suspicious about its authenticity.The funds were sent to me by someone posing to buy something from me online and I was sent the movers money as well to pass on. I informed the teller that I was suspicious about the check and wanted to know when I can be sure the check was authentic before using the funds. The teller informed me that the check will take 2 days to clear and by Tuesday I should check to see if its still pending. Once the check is n't pending and the funds have been added to the account I can be sure the check was legit and cleared. I deposited part of the check and cashed the remainder and waited till Tuesday to use the funds.On Tuesday morning I checked and the check was no longer pending and the funds were safely in my account. I took the funds and sent them to the supposed mover. On Wednesday, I see that the amount for the check had been taken out of my account. Upon contacting the bank I was informed that the check had insufficient funds and the bank took out money from my account in the amount of the check.Basically I had been scammed.
I was shocked as I had suspected this may have been the case and deliberately asked the bank how to proceed.I followed the exact instructions given to me by the bank. The bank refuses to take any responsibility and insists that its my issue. How can I protect my own money when the bank helps the scammers and could care less about their own costumers? How was I to know not to trust the bank teller? How come there 's no laws protecting consumers from the banks mistakes?
I went back to the bank and videoed myself asking the bank teller the question again.I asked the question to 3 different tellers, receiving the identical answer. They assured me I have nothing to worry about once the check clears and funds have been permanently added to the account. I tried to enclose the video below, however the size was too big to upload. I 'm going to attempt to post it online wherever possible, in an attempt for the truth to get out, if there 's still someone left with some sort of honest conscious, someone who realizes there 's more to life than getting away with someone else 's money.
Its frightening to see how little the bank cares about you, the very institution who you trust your money with and is supposed to be helping you.Its 2017, and our country has laws protecting animals, plants, and ancient buildings, but cant get they 're act together to help people being bullied and taken advantage of by financial institutions. And lastly, its sad to see how when the bank helps lose your money, no one gives a XXXX, but if the bank loses a dime, they 'll turn the world over. Its time for either a class action lawsuit or a politician that actually cares to make noise and put an end to this.

Complaint narrative:
OnXX/XX/XXXX,  Home Depot in XXXX NY charged me XXXX as part of order XXXX for tile and materials for a special order. address is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX NY XXXX and phone number is XXXX XXXX
email address for manager is XXXX XXXX 

Due to the ineptness and disorganization of the project (we started planning the project inXX/XX/XXXX and as of last week they were unable to get a proper measurement and define the materials for the project after 5 weeks), we decided to not move forward with order XXXX. We have received no materials or services from Home Depot for this work order. I have been corresponding with XXXX XXXX for the last week and we have spoken to numerous folks in the store and they were very rude to my wife and told her they would not help her and XXXX and his team at the XXXX store is unwilling to reimburse the charge from our Home Depot account.

We spoke to XXXX from Citi Financing tonight and have disputed the charge and we will also speak to the Better Business Bureau and an attorney in the XXXX.

Please reimburse the XXXX this is very simple and should be very simple for XXXX or someone at the store to reimburse the charges but they are unwilling to do this and again have been very rude to us.

I will guarantee you that we will never shop at Home Depot again and once we get reimbursed we will close our account.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I have a Homeowner association company that has set me up with the automatic withdraw for the association fees. When Equifax was breached on the data, I decided to check on my credit since I have credit monitor account with Equifax. That was when I noticed that the score has droped. I was at XXXX and it dropped down to XXXX. The reason was the association has reported negative information. First, I was never notified about having a past due on the account. The account is set up as automatic withdraw so I would not think there is past due.
Company information below : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX IL XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX CA XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX is the company information.
I contacted Equifax first because I did not know who reported the negative information first. Then I found out that it was my association company so I contacted them and I was being reasonable. Even though I was upset, I decided to pay the account since now I was informed that I had past due amount. I did let them know that I was never informed through mail or phone call.
Move forward, I paid the account in full and Equifax disputed and the account information was corrected and the account became no past balance.
One month later, now. I have a notification from Equifax that my score has dropped again. I have check the reason and now the same company has made another negative information on my credit file with different company name.
Below : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Ca-XXXX XXXX
Same address and same phone number with same past due amount.
I did let go the first issue since it can happen even though I felt it was not fair since they did not attempt to notify me with past due. But, this time I can not let it go since it has affected my score again with same information. I have contact the association company XXXX XXXX  but no response. I am filling the BBB complain also and I would like to see what I can do to make this correction and make sure I have fair credit score without abuse from this management company.
Thank you.
