Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: NM
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Other features, terms, or problems
Sub-issue: Problem with balance transfer

Complaint:
got a balance transfer in XXXX. periodically when i pay large sums they post those amounts to the balance transfer rather than the balance running at the regular interest rate. i contacted them in XXXX about it, and they adjusted a couple of the interest charges, but didn't change the proportion of balances at the transfer rate vs not. for my XXXX statement they have again put over XXXX XXXXXXXX of my payments improperly onto the balance transfer rather than my regular purchases. their customer service seems clueless ( repeatedly saying " I hope you understand my limitation '' without actually clarifying their limitation ) unwilling to help, and keeps referring back to " the system does it '' and " that's the policy '' even when they didn't even follow their own policy. as with last time, they offer to refer my complaints to " the team '' but that resulted in nothing. i had to actually pick up the phone to get even the interest charges changed last time, which doesn't address the fact that the wrong balances are getting paid off.

Complaint:
I sent my letter out on XX/XX/XXXX via fax to Capital one dispute department. I explained to the Capital One dispute representative that i had XXXX, lost a family friend and faced a financial hardship loosing my job due to the pandemic layoff and my personal condition. 
I even provided my XXXX XXXX XXXX to show that the times I had XXXX were in alignment with late payments. I also opened a credit card account with them with automatic payments set up so I could continue a more positive relationship with them. 

The Capital One & credit bureaus representatives told me if I provided a good will letter and supporting documents, then they would notify credit buraus and remove it from my credit report. Unfortunately, this was not fulfilled and capital one continued to report a charge off/collection. Because of this, my credit scores were impacted negatively. Negatively impacting my credit score after an attempted dispute is a violation of my consumer rights.

Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
Dear [ CFPB ], I am writing to express my extreme frustration and disappointment with the handling of my account by the credit bureaus. Despite my repeated complaints and requests for assistance, the inaccuracies on my account remain unresolved. 
The credit bureaus claim that my account was properly investigated, but that is simply not true. The open date, date last active, and date last reported are all inaccurate and these inaccuracies are in violation of my rights under 15 U.S.C. 1681 section 602 A, which guarantees my right to privacy. Furthermore, 15 U.S.C. 1681 Section 604 A Section 2 states that a consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account without my written instructions. 
I demand immediate action to rectify these inaccuracies and remove these accounts from my credit report. I have been patient and cooperative, but enough is enough. I expect a prompt resolution to this issue and an assurance that my rights will be respected in the future. 
Sincerely,

Complaint:
Per review of my student loans, which started in the year of XXXX and was consolidated in the year of XXXX for the PSLF. My qualifying payments were IBR at {$0.00}. These loans were created for me to attend and graduate XXXX  XXXX  XXXX. Currently, I have a Borrowers Defense Application in place that is pending/processing since XX/XX/XXXX for the XXXX  XXXX XXXX loans because of the inaccurate information, fraud, and absent accreditation. Also, during this time I went back to school at XXXX XXXX XXXX ; XX/XX/XXXX, which has placed my current loans in a deferment. I was not made aware of this deferment, or was this information told to me. When I submitted my PSLF application and was approved, I was not made aware that if I was to start college again that my old school loans, that have nothing to do with my schooling now, would be affected. The other inaccurate information is Fedloan reporting my school loans on my credit report stating they will fall off my credit report in 7 years which will be XXXX. This is not correct as I received my loan in XXXX and this year of XXXX and month of XXXX, all account information of FedLoan should not be reported onto my credit. The reason it states " XXXX '' is because I made a conslidation on my loans but that doesn't change when I got the loans per when I spoke to XXXX. Ive already made a status change dispute of this to the credit bureau, and it was processed on XX/XX/XXXX, by FedLoan - " Dispute resolved - consumer disagrees. Before disputes were made, on Friday XX/XX/XXXX, I made a phone call to FedLoan customer service to ask what my best approach to my school loans at this time would be. This is how I was made aware of the deferment on my account and with no reason why. I asked about my loans being removed from credit and the representative stated, that is not accurate information, after 7 years only late payments fall off. I asked how long a wait would be on a Borrowers Defense Application and received an answer of over a year. FedLoan as a company has made it hard to move forward, be knowledgeable about account information, and has failed as company to keep me updated on my own information. Per credit bureau, after 7 years, a school loan does fall off your credit your report. Customer service should not be stating inaccurate information to current students, customers, members or whomever. After receiving the dispute results, I sent a certified letter to FedLoan, and only received a signed certified tracking card back. I waited 30 additional days with no payer correspondence. Again, I am asking for just the school loan to be removed from my credit report. Thank you.

Complaint:
I have already made this complaint before with XXXX but it is clear they want to point blame at UAS. This was the original complaint I made here to XXXX : " I lost my job in tech back in XXXX of 2023. Anything that has been saved up was spent on rent, car, insurance, and all other bills including my UAS loan. I have been in contact with UAS on the phone and XXXX XXXX through email and they only offered me a total of 6 months at a lower rate to delay the inevitable. When I asked for more help they told me if I can not make the payments then I WILL HAVE TO LET THE LOAN DEFAULT!! This gives lots of credibility to those who believe UAS is trying to destroy people 's credit as they also listed on their website that even bankruptcy may not help you from their loans! Now I still have no stable income and my minimum payment to UAS is {$1000.00} a month. I have also reached out to my school at the time, XXXX, for help all the way back in XXXX. They said they would file a case but have not given any progress updates since then. '' XXXX  's response made it clear UAS has all control with payment options as stated by them : " XXXX does not conduct credit reporting, including reporting late payments to credit bureaus. XXXX third-party loan servicer, University Accounting Services ( UAS ), handles servicing on this loan. Because XXXX is not a loan servicer, it can not offer settlements, facilitate payment agreements, or renegotiate the loan terms. The borrower is encouraged to speak with XXXX third-party servicing partners, UAS and Loan Science, for any further deferral information. '' However every attempt I have made at contacting UAS and negotiating a solution I have been met with the same general response : " We will only give you the 6 months of a lower payment that has already been given, please contact XXXX for further assistance '' Not only will UAS respond to this complaint last minute as XXXX did with theirs, but their response will boil down to they will not/ can not negotiate payment options unless XXXX gives them the okay. 

This is a clear " point and blame '' tactic used to clear their name of the obvious : they want their money fast and do not care about the stability and future of their borrowers. I am stuck begging for money as to hope to meet the insane XXXX XXXX monthly payment, and as I am already homeless any ding on my credit will keep me on the streets. I have made my situation very clear to both XXXX and UAS and they have also made their intentions to not help me very clear. It is extremely frustrating having to share with friends and colleagues that I made a huge mistake furthering my education and taking a loan with XXXX and UAS.
