TD customer money stuck 'in limbo' due to e-transfer problems


READ MORE

Shaun Rickard would like to know what happened to his $1,700. The home siding contractor received the payment yesterday morning via an Interac e-transfer from a customer.



But when he tried to deposit the money into his TD Canada Trust account, it wouldn’t work.


“It’s just kind of floating right now [in cyber space]” says Rickard who owns the business, Home Doctor, in Toronto. “It’s very frustrating.”




‘They don’t seem to be very forthcoming.’
— TD customer Shaun Rickard


Other TD customers are complaining online — including on Twitter and the website canadianoutages.com — that their e-transfers aren’t going through, and that the bank isn’t providing them with any explanation.


“Been well over 24hrs and no answers??????” griped one customer on canadianoutages.com, which tracks problems at various companies and services.


Since Monday, about 30 TD customers have complained about the issue on the site. It is not clear when the problem began, or how many people are affected. 


Rickard said the problem is especially concerning for him because his customers often send him e-transfers.





“Your confidence is a little shattered,” he said.



Rickard reached out TD on Facebook, but was unhappy with the response. The bank replied that it’s aware of the problem and is working on fixing it. 


“They don’t seem to be very forthcoming as to why it’s down,” said Rickard. “Have you been hacked, is there a security breach?”







Lisa Darragh in Ottawa also wondered what was going on after she received an e-payment for $300 yesterday but couldn’t deposit it into her TD account.



“It’s in limbo,” she says.



When Darragh went online looking for an explanation, she says she instead found numerous complaints by other unhappy TD customers in the same boat.



Recent update


The bank told CBC News on Tuesday that the problem is only impacting a small number of customers.



The trouble stems from “a recent update to provide enhanced features,” said spokesperson Meghan Thomas in an email. She provided no further information on the update and did not answer our question about when the problem first started. 



“We apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused customers and we are working around the clock to fix it,” she said.


Thomas added that any pending e-transfers will be completed as soon as the problem is fixed.




In July, customers at all of Canada’s big banks experienced problems with e-transfers for about two days. It turned out Interac, which supplies the service, was having technical problems.


Interac said the current TD problem has nothing to do with its operations.

Canadian expected to be aboard Russia's 1st manned space mission since rocket failure

READ MORE The first manned mission to the International Space Station since a Russian rocket failed to launch successfully earlier this month may take off on Dec. 3, space agency Roscosmos said on Wednesday. And the crew is expected to include Canadian astronaut David Saint-Jacques, Agence France-Press reported. A Russian cosmonaut and U.S. astronaut were forced to abort their mission on Oct. 11 and perform an emergency landing after a launch accident that Roscomos said was caused by a faulty sensor. The accident was the first serious launch problem experienced by a manned Soyuz space mission since 1983, when a crew narrowly escaped before a launch pad explosion. Sergei Krikalyov, a senior Roscosmos official, was quoted by state news agency Tass as saying the next manned launch had been planned for mid-December, but that Russia was trying to bring the date forward so that the ISS is not briefly left without a crew. “The industry is making significant efforts to move the launch t...

Getting the dope on pot stocks is becoming easier as media groups invest in content: Don Pittis

READ MORE “What’s the buzz? Tell me what’s happening,” goes the ’70s rock anthem. Part of the catchiness of the lyric — from the rock musical Jesus Christ Superstar  — was that in that era the term “buzz” had developed a second spicy meaning. It described the high that people got from smoking cannabis. In the 1970s, the magazine High Times was a brand new title keeping an eye on the illegal but growing business of marijuana pricing and sales. It ran centrefolds of glistening pot plants and of an apartment filled to the windows with what the magazine insisted was an entire ton of cannabis. Now some of Canada’s most staid media voices are looking for ways to go toe to toe with High Times and its U.S. competitors, hoping to profit from Canada’s global head start in legal recreational cannabis. But when it comes to making a killing from spreading the buzz on the cannabis biz, to q...

Toronto man denies conspiring with Marvel CEO in alleged hate mail scheme

READ MORE A Toronto man accused of conspiring with the head of Marvel Entertainment in a bizarre hate mail campaign against his wealthy former employer has denied any role in the alleged scheme. David Smith, along with Marvel CEO Isaac (Ike) Perlmutter, is the target of a slander lawsuit launched earlier this year by Canadian businessman Harold Peerenboom. Now Smith — a former employee of Peerenboom’s Toronto-based executive search firm, Mandrake Management — has filed a motion to dismiss the U.S. civil suit. It’s the latest development in the years-long legal battle between Peerenboom and Perlmutter, a notoriously reclusive American billionaire and personal friend of U.S. President Donald Trump. The hate mail campaign, which ran   between 2012 to 2015, saw anonymous letters falsely accusing Peerenboom of being a child molester, murderer and anti-Semite...
