TD Bank Fined $28M for Sharing Faulty Data

TD Bank has been fined $28 million by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) for allegedly sharing inaccurate credit information with major credit bureaus, including Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. This fine highlights significant concerns over the accuracy of credit reporting and its potential impact on consumers. According to the CFPB, TD Bank was responsible for transmitting incorrect data about customers’ credit card delinquencies and bankruptcies, which could adversely affect individuals’ credit scores and their ability to secure loans or housing.

The CFPB’s investigation revealed that TD Bank may have been aware of the inaccuracies in the data being reported. The agency’s findings suggest that the bank either knowingly or negligently shared outdated or incorrect information, raising serious questions about the integrity of the data handling practices within the institution. Such discrepancies can lead to higher interest rates, difficulties in obtaining credit, or even outright denials of services for consumers affected by the flawed reports.

As part of the settlement, TD Bank is required to pay $7.76 million in restitution to the consumers harmed by the inaccurate data, in addition to a $20 million civil penalty. This action by the CFPB underscores the responsibility of financial institutions to ensure the accuracy of the data they share with credit reporting agencies. The CFPB has emphasized the need for TD Bank to make significant improvements in its data management and dispute handling processes to prevent future issues.

In response, TD Bank stated that it had already identified and begun addressing these issues before the settlement. The bank affirmed its commitment to enhancing its data handling practices and maintaining compliance with regulatory standards. Consumers who believe their credit reports contain inaccuracies are encouraged to dispute them with the credit reporting agencies to ensure their credit histories are accurately represented. This case also highlights the ongoing need for vigilance in consumer protection and accurate credit reporting.
