TD Bank US Holding Company Credit Card Complaint

TD Bank US Holding Company Credit card department,

Credit card protection / Debt protection New Jersey

My bank, TD Bank, recently just closed my credit card down. They had finally provided chipped cards but I saw on their form I had to use the last - digits of my Social Security number as part of my ID. I said I did not want to do that because of the exposure to hacking it would enable and right then, they closed my existing non-chipped card and the chipped one which I had never agreed to signing up for. My credit report must look awful. I am confused and I am also profoundly deaf and banks are not easy for me because they wo n't do anything on line so I have to drive there every time there is the slightest issue. Well this is a big issue and I am learning from other people that most of the banks are doing the same thing - demanding people use - digits of their Social Security card which is then put on their huge on-line systems.


think that should be segregated from every day transactions. Are we as citizens being forced to put ourselves in unnecessary risky situations and if so, why? Interestingly I do n't have to provide that data for a debit card so I do n't understand why they are putting FDIC backed accounts at risk and why they are allowed to do it. Any help you can give me will be appreciated.
