Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: CA
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 rewards from credit card

Complaint:
Upon renewal of my Citi Thank You Rewards card, I decided to close the account so as to not pay the renewal fee. This was in XX/XX/2020. I was advised I had 60 days to redeem my points, which were over XXXX ( over {$500.00} ). 

When a few days later I attempted to sign in on line to my account, my password and sign in information did not go through ; they were invalid. 

After numerous efforts to sign in, I attempted to get through to Citi Thank You rewards customer service, but the Covid epidemic had already kicked in and Citi 's ( XXXX ) number was experiencing excessive wait times. Citi, on its Web Site, advised customer 's to not call the ( XXXX ) number, but rather go on-line. Of course, this was impossible as my password was inactive. I attempted to call over 16 times but was not able to hold on due to the long wait times. When I finally was able to hold on for over one hour and get through some weeks later, I was advised my points were lost, due to a ( not disclosed ) time limit on redeeming the points after closing my account. I explained the circumstances ( password, Covid, excessive telephone wait times, etc. ) but Citi refused to credit the lost points, despite my having done everything in my power to use them. I have subsequently written XXXX very detailed letters to Citi but received only form letters in return that addressed none of the questions I raised. I spent several hours writing the letters, sending them, as well as calling Citi on the phone, waiting on hold, etc. 


The forfeiture and the surrounding circumstances appear a violation of their Customer Agreement as provided, as well as a denial that the jammed phone lines prevented servicing customers in a timely manner. 

I am requesting my points be returned to my account, or a cash refund for the equivalent value be refunded to me. Citi 's unilateral action was unreasonable and not in accordance with provided terms.

Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint:
It is TRANSUNIONs duty pursuant to the FCRA to be reporting correct and accurate information on my credit report and file, however they are NOT. 

TRANSUNION is reporting an inaccurate late payment for the XXXX XXXX account " XXXX ... '' This is a 30 day late payment posted in XX/XX/ 2019. 

This is incorrect and supposed to be reported as PAID AS AGREED. 

Furthermore, pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ), a consumer report does NOT contain information solely as to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the person making the report.

A transaction constitutes these late payments resulting in TRANSUNION violating my federally protected consumer rights. To add to this, I did NOT give TRANSUNION written instruction/permission to furnish these inaccurate late payments on my consumer report or file, violating 15 U.S.C. 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ).

It is clear that TRANSUNION has violated my federally protected consumer rights under the FCRA and the inaccurate reporting is causing me and my reputation severe harm and discrimination.

I am trying to get business funding and this incorrect information is directly harming my ability to do so.

Sub-issue: Funds not handled or disbursed as instructed

Complaint:
Earlier this month I filed complaint XXXX related to a US Bank employee committing criminal fraud against me. US Bank did not address any of my complaints in their response ( not even an unsatisfactory response, but outright evaded them ). 

I have since been trying to get documents from the bank, namely a banker - XXXX XXXX or his predecessor in XXXX XXXX, MO - illegally/criminally allowing ( XXXX ) XXXX XXXX to add himself to my account without my knowledge, consent, or be being present for any notarization process. 

On XX/XX/XXXX I walked in, in person to the US Bank branch ( XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX ) to schedule an appointment with a banker to get these documents. I was scheduled with XXXX ( sp? ) at XXXX on Monday, XX/XX/XXXX. When I arrived for the appointment the branch was closed ( computer issues ). I called XXXX later than day at XXXX, left a voice mail- I have still not gotten a call back. I returned to the branch on XX/XX/XXXX, they informed their system was still down, but allowed me to leave a note to be called back to reschedule as soon as their phones were working. I have not yet gotten a call ; I called a few minutes ago, XX/XX/XXXX, and a banker answered ( their phone lines are working ). 

In the meantime, I scheduled an appointment with another branch ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX ) for XXXX this morning. I arrived a few minutes early ; the security guard demanded my dog wear a vest ( meets ADA definition of service dog ), which is blatantly contrary to the ADA of 1990/disability discrimination. To appease drama, I went back to the car to get my dog 's vest and returned - I pulled up the Service Dog FAQ on ada.gov to show the guard her request was blatantly illegal per federal law ; she refused to read it, so I read it to her. I then met the banker I had an appointment with, XXXX. She took my information and said she would call me back today or tomorrow, but first needs to contact their legal team ( to provide me witht documents to MY OWN account that I have spent now nearly a month requesting, via complaint her, via email, and in person at 2 branches ). Just documents ... thats all. Apparently I am not allowed access to documents associated with my own account ; specifically it seems US Bank might be willfully trying to keep these documents from me, knowing that they were fraudulent and will show criminal fraud on behalf of their banker. I assume this to be a comedy of errors, rather than a blatant attempt to collude and cover up the fraud US Bank ( not a third party I'm contesting - US Bank itself ) has already committed against me and potential related theft. I will need these documents immediately - not " ASAP '', rather as soon as a US Bank representative reads this.

Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
The credit bureaus have been sent multiple requests for a proper investigation of this account listing. Each time, the credit bureaus took more than thirty days to complete the investigation... only to continue reporting erroneous information. The last letter was sent XX/XX/2022. A proper investigation has not been conducted due to multiple errors. The opened date is inaccurate, the credit amount is inaccurate, the date last reported is inaccurate, the date of last activity is inaccurate, as well as, the date of last payment. 

Inaccuracy # 1 - " Date Opened '' Inaccuracy # 2 - " High Credit '' Amount Inaccuracy # 3 - " Last Reported '' Inaccuracy # 4 - " Date Last Active '' Inaccuracy # 5 - " Date of Last Payment '' Inaccuracy # 6 - " Two-Year Payment History '' reflected conflicting information. 

Along with the fact that this account has been reporting a charge-off account for many years. Seeking further action is illegal, as XXXX XXXX XXXX has written this debt off. 26 CFR Subsection1.166-3 ( a ) ( 3 ) ( i ) Deemed charge-off. If a significant modification of a debt instrument ( within the meaning of 1.1001-3 ) during a taxable year results in the recognition of gain by a taxpayer under 1.1001-1 ( a ), and if the requirements of paragraph ( a ) ( 3 ) ( ii ) of this section are met, there is a deemed charge-off of the debt during that taxable year in the amount specified in paragraph ( a ) ( 3 ) ( iii ).

( a ) ( 3 ) ( iii ) of this section. The amount of the deemed charge-off, if any, is the amount by which the tax basis of the debt exceeds the greater of the fair market value of the debt or the amount of the debt recorded on the taxpayer 's books and records reduced as appropriate for a specific allowance for loan losses. The amount of the deemed charge-off, however, may not exceed the amount of recognized gain described in paragraph ( a ) ( XXXX ) ( i ) of this section. 

In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, has violated my rights.

15 USC 1681 section 602 A - states I have the right to privacy.

15 USC 1681 section 604 A section 2 - states a consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account without my written instructions.

According to 15 USC 1681n ( a ) ( 1 ) any actual damages sustained by the consumer as a result of the failure or damages of not less than {$100.00} and not more than {$1000.00}.
