Complaint:
Regardless of the multiple written requests, the ITEMS listed below are still reporting on my credit report which is a violation of FCRA. The Bureaus failed to comply with Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 USC sections 1681i within the time declared by law, they failed to properly investigate the matter by using a third party as their verification provider and have continued reporting the unconfirmed & unverified information. Given all my attempts to address it directly with 3 CREDIT BUREAUS they are willful negligent and non-complying with federal statutes & I need this matter handled immediately.

Sub-issue: Information is missing that should be on the report

Complaint:
Basically, since XXXX with Transunion I have been asking them to place back my XXXX XXXX XXXX account for a vehicle loan I have had since XX/XX/XXXX. At one time I did merely and simply dispute the balance because it was inaccurate. My balance had not been updated at that point in over 3 months. So I disputed it, because the balance was inaccurate. Then approximately XX/XX/XXXX, rather than update the balance they removed the account entirely. Now due to them, my credit score is down anywhere between 80-100 points if not more ... I merely want the account added back to my credit report as it reflects my good payment history and with the correct balance information. The account shows correctly with XXXX  and XXXX. I have reached out directly to Transunion via phone, and even mailed in my payment history to them directly from XXXX  from a while back at least within the last 6 months .... and they keep giving me the run around AFTER confirming they have my payment history, hard copies, and still will NOT place my account back to my credit report. Each time I have contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX, they keep telling me the issue lies with Transunion.

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I and my wife XXXX XXXX XXXX received a letter from PRA Receivables Management , LLC in regard to a claim amount of {$32000.00} stating that this claim amount was owed from the purchase of a XXXX XXXX XXXX, that my wife and I purchased in XXXX. In the letter it stated that the claim amount originated with XXXX, XXXX then sold the loan to Portfolio Recovery Associates , LLC ( PRA ). { Letter enclosed } I received the claim in the amount of {$32000.00}. I wrote the company PRA Receivables Management , LLC and disputed the claim. I asked the company to please provide us with an explanation as to how the amount of {$32000.00} was derived at, because the documents I was sent made no sense to me { Documents enclosed }. There were late fees charged and interest being charged that did not show by any calculations as to how the interest, fees and other charges where charged. The documents do not show where any payments were made on the loan while we were in bankruptcy. Also, the documents sent show {$6400.00} as of XX/XX/XXXX, was added to the claim, but does not show where it comes from. 

We believe that we are being over charged on the balance of the loan, that amount we never received. We purchased the vehicle in XXXX, Paid on the vehicle for 4 and a half years before we filed bankruptcy in XXXX. 

We do not owe anywhere close to what this company is claiming. We are being considerably over charged and seek you help in this matter. 

Thank you. 
XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint:
My credit report is still showing a negative account with XXXX XXXX. ( Account # XXXX ) As previously stated to the credit bureau XXXX I've never had any accounts, loans, credit cards, etc. with XXXX XXXX. I have disputed this information with the credit bureau and their response has been " it's been verified '' but they refuse to give me the details on how they " verified '' it. To make matters worse, they're now telling me they will not do another investigation and it is my responsibility to reach out to XXXX XXXX to resolve this matter. I have reached out to XXXX XXXX asking them for proof that this account belongs to me, but I have yet to receive a response from them. If the credit bureau has verified this account belongs to me, I would like for them to send me proof that it is mine, not just saying " it's been verified. '' If they can't provide me proof that I'm the owner of this negative account, then I would like for the credit bureau to delete it.

Company: Midwest Recovery Systems
State: TX
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: I do not know
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX I received multiple credit monitoring alerts that a new collection had been placed on my credit report. Upon further investigation, Midwest Recovery Systems was listed as the company responsible with the original creditor being " XXXX XXXX XXXX '' and that I owed them. Knowing that I have never interacted with a " XXXX XXXX XXXX '', much less taken a loan out in the amount of {$630.00} ( after an extensive search of my personal records ) I called the company to inquire. They told me that this was a loan from XX/XX/XXXX! When I told the representative that I did not recognize a " XXXX XXXX XXXX '' his response was " well maybe they changed names! '' I immediately requested a validation of debt as I am entitled to under the Fair Debt Colletion Practices Act ( 15 USC 1692g Sec 809b ). The representative said they would need 30-days to validate this debt despite the fact that they have already reported this on my credit report! I decided to follow up with a written request for validation as well. I overnighted a letter to the address listed on my credit report ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, MO XXXX ). When XXXX attempted to deliver my letter, I was informed that the company had moved with no forwarding address. XXXX spent 10 days trying to locate the new address but could not do so. I called Midwest Recovery Systems again and asked for an updated mailing address. The representative told me he could not give me that information over the phone. After telling him several times that I know my rights under the law, he finally provided me an updated mailing address ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX MO XXXX ). When I attempted to re-send the validation letter to the new address, XXXX now tells me that this address is not in their Database! ). 

This company has placed a negative mark on my credit report without providing proper written notification as allowed under the law and has not given me the required 30-days to respond before taking negative action.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: IL
Product: Credit card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Other features, terms, or problems
Sub-issue: Other problem

Complaint:
I received a text message from Citibank " Free Msg Citi Fraud Dept : Card XXXX. We need to speak to you about your acct. Please call XXXX. Reply STOP to Opt-Out ''. This message came from the same number Citi has used to text me before, so I called. 

The first time I called, the representative verified my information and asked to call me back in 1-2 minutes. They called me back from a random number from Tennessee not associated with Citibank. I was unable to verify that number was from Citibank so I refused to continue. 

The second time I called the XXXX number, the representative asked me to tell them a code that was texted to me. The text read " Citi ID Code : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  We'll NEVER call or text for this code. ". As the representative had called to ask for the code, I refused the code and refused to continue the call. 

Then, I called the number on the back of my card, resolved the fraud alert, and the representative confirmed that both of my prior calls were indeed to a valid Citibank line. I asked to escalate to a supervisor, as providing account details to a number not associated with Citibank directly contradicts their anti-fraud advice. Additionally, a Citi representative asking for a security code in a tex that clearly states they will NEVER call for the code directly contradicts their anti-fraud advice. 

The representative claimed to have escalated the case, but I was given no tracking number to ensure that the representatives prior were indeed acting in accordance to Citi policy or if I was a victim of fraud in some other way. 

I am concerned that Citi is failing to adequately control and monitor their anti-fraud procedures and the way in which those procedures are carried out by their support team. This results in me as a customer taking unnecessary risks with my sensitive account information.
