Problems With TD Bank

TD Bank said Thursday morning that it was still experiencing problems with its computer system, which is not allowing customers to access account information.

“Unfortunately, we experienced an unusual delay in our overnight batch posting again last evening,” TD said. “We are working nonstop to resolve this issue. We are sorry about the inconvenience and we thank our customers for their patience and understanding.”

The bank said customers can see account balances as of Wednesday evening and that it expects to complete transaction processing and have current account balances later today. The bank said it will reverse fees, charges or interest incurred as a result of this disruption.

“We are working to solve the problem as soon as we can,” TD said. “We have empowered our employees to work with customers individually to resolve any outstanding issues that arose as a result of this delay. We continue to operate on full tilt to get this resolved.”

The problems came as Toronto-based TD attempted to integrate its systems this past weekend with that of Cherry Hill, N.J.-based Commerce Bank, which it acquired last year. A TD spokeswoman said she was not sure if the systems integration was the root of the problem and that customers were told they would not be able to access their account information over the weekend. But she said the system crashed Monday and then again Tuesday overnight. The system apparently came back on line Wednesday before shutting down again.

To repair the problem, TD said it had to shut down Internet banking to all customers for periods of each day but hoped to have that restored by early evening Wednesday.

A TD spokeswoman said despite claims made on Twitter and other social networking sites, customers can still use ATM machines and withdraw or deposit money but their balances will not be in real time.

DJ AM FOUND DEAD IN MANHATTAN APARTMENT

DJ AM FOUND DEAD IN MANHATTAN APARTMENT

DJ AM -- the celebrity club disc jockey known for dating starlets, collecting hundreds of sneakers and surviving a horrific plane crash -- was found dead an apparent overdose in his SoHo apartment today, police said.
Cops found prescription drug bottles inside DJ AM's residence at 210 Lafayette St. after the 36-year-old's lifeless body spotted face-down in his bed at around 5:23 p.m. by a friend, who was concerned he hadn't heard from the performer in several days, sources said.
Emergency medical workers responding to a 911 call from the friend declared DJ AM dead at the scene. No foul play is suspected.

DJ AM, whose real name is Adam Goldstein, had twittered recently that he had finished wrapping up an MTV reality show about drug addiction.
Prescription drugs and a crack pipe were found at the scene. Bottles of pills were found in both the bedroom and the kitchen. He was wearing sweatpants and no shirt.
Friends of the disc jockey gathered outside his apartment tonight, hugging each other. They declined to speak with reporters.

The Philadelphia native, whose real name was Adam Michael Goldstein, was a former member of the band Crazy Town, which scored the smash rap-rock hit "Butterfly" in 2001.
His work behind turntables in hotspots around the world paid him up to $25,000 or more per night -- helping fund what became a collection of more than 1,000 sneakers.
DJ AM had high-profile romances with Nicole Richie, to whom he was once engaged, as well as with actress Mandy Moore.

Last September 19, DJ AM and former Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker were badly burned in the crash of a private plane in South Carolina that killed four other people on-board. The plane crashed as it headed down the runway during takeoff.
Barker's ex-wife, Playmate Shanna Moakler, responded to news of DJ AM's death on Twitter, writing, "My deepest condolences for DJ AM, you were a great artist and will be severely missed. My thoughts and Prayers to his family and friends."

Justin Hoffman, a Las Vegas resident who was a friend of the performer, broke down into to tears as he told The Post how DJ AM "reached out to me four years ago, saved my life. I was dying, I was suicidal, and was down to maybe 130 pounds."
"He reached out to me, talked to me for hours," Hoffman said. "He'd be there every single time I would call. He would be there no matter situation, he would answer calls at 5:30 in the morning. He just want to help people out."

"We all love him and miss him," said DJ AM's close friend, New York nightclub entrepreneur Mike Satsky.
Samathan Ronson, another celebrity DJ, tweeted to a friend, "Waiting for someone to say this isn't true."
Guitar virtuoso John Mayer tweeted, "We're supposed to lose our friends to time, at an age when we're ready to agree to the terms of having lived a long life. Not now."

Lindsay Lohan wrote, "i can't believe this ... I'm in shock. why? why? r.i.p. adam."
In his own last post on Twitter, dated Tuesday, DJ AM quoted a Grandmaster Flash song: "New York, New York. Big city of dreams, but everything in New York ain't always what it seems."
He was scheduled to have deejayed at Dusk in Atlantic City on Tuesday and then tonight at Rain in Las Vegas.

In a 2007 interview with the New York Times, DJ AM admitted to having begun seriously abusing crack cocaine in his early 20s. But he said he had been sober for the past nine years and had even recently given up smoking. "All that's left is caffeine," he told nypost.
