Provide a copy of my signature with the provider of service to release my medical information to you. 
Cease any credit bureau reporting until the debt has been validated by me.

Additionally, any reporting of this debt to the credit bureaus prior to allowing me to validate it may be a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, which can allow me to seek damages from a collection agent.

Complaint:
I am stressed and displeased that I see so many fraudulent accounts on my credit report. This is really damaging my credit worthiness. I am trying to buy a home for me and my family and this is not fair. I have tried several times to get these accounts removed. Let alone, my information was in a XXXX & Equifax breach some months ago so I thought you all would protect my consumer report. I do not feel that my information is being protected. This is a defamation to my character and this is a federal law violation. According to, 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( 2 ) ( 3 ) ( 4 ) my consumer report fairness and privacy has been violated. I am upset!! I am depending on the banking system and credit reporting agency to promote my privacy and fairness and they have not. This is not right and going against my federal consumer rights. This is causing emotional and mental stress as of now. Also it is illegal these companies should NOT be furnisher people 's information to 3rd party companies so this is illegal, neglect and fraud. I have already reported this to the local police department and Federal Trade Commission. These companies and the credit bureaus can be can get sued for these damages. This is negatively effecting my livelihood and putting me in a bad space. I feel your database is inaccurate and I am filing ligation against this if these items aren't removed immediately

Complaint:
I have made numerous attempts to contact CitiBank via telephone and chat. The phone system notifies me it is inundated, try back again at another time and disconnects. 
I can not log into my account through CitiBanks " Too Big to Fail '' Website.

I can not access customer service via CitiBanks " Too Big to Fail '' Website Chat. 
I am directly affected by California XXXX 's stay at home order and have been unable to work for a month now. I must defer my payments to CitiBank and Congress has allocated my taxpayer monies to facilitate this. Yet conveniently Citibank is simply refusing to interface with customers most likely because they are deliberately inadequately staffed to maximize their already obscene profits and generate additional monies from fees and late payments. 
I have made every effort to contact CitiBank prior to the due date of my payment to set up deferment.
