Consumer Narrative
On XX/XX/2022, I the consumer, natural person, and original creditor initiated a consumer credit transaction with TD Bank. On said date I applied for their TD Double Up XXXX Credit Card using my social security number ( SSN ). However, TD Bank denied my consumer transaction/application and mailed me an adverse action letter dated XX/XX/2022 ( a violation of 15 U.S.C. 1691c ). A copy is herewith attached. On XX/XX/2022, I sent TD Bank by certified mail notice alerting them of their violation of my federally protected consumer rights. Which they received and signed for as evidence by the signed certified return receipt ( XXXX ). Copy herewith attached. In the notice, I gave TD Bank ten ( 10 ) calendar days to rectify the situation by reassessing my application and approving it. I also clearly and conspicuously stated that " failure to respond is tactic agreement that [ TD Bank ] [ is ] civilly and criminal liable for the actions take against the beneficiary. '' In accordance with the postal rule, their failure to respond in writing to my notice to wit, is tacit agreement that they violated my federally protected consumer rights by not approving my application for the TD Double Up XXXX Credit Card. It has been over 30 days since TD Bank has received my first notice and yet has not responded in writing to my demands. To reiterate what my notice made clear : According to federal law ( 15 U.S.C. 1602 ( I ) ) my social security card is a credit card. A credit card is defined as " any card, plate, coupon book or other credit device existing for the purpose of obtaining money, property, labor, or services on credit. '' I used my social security card/number in connection here to obtain another credit device existing for the purpose of obtaining money, property, labor, or services on credit. Accordingly, as a consumer, natural person, and original creditor, it is unlawful to deny me of my own credit. Furthermore, 15 U.S.C. 1691 ( a ), provides that : " [ I ] t shall be unlawful for any creditor to discriminate against any applicant, with respect to any aspect of a credit transaction.. " A denial of my open ended consumer credit constitutes to discrimination. Moreover, pursuant 12 U.S.C. 1431, Banks and Credit Unions have power to borrow money, issue bonds and debentures, therefore TD Bank is unable to lend a consumer, natural person, and original creditor anything.
