Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Was not notified of investigation status or results

Complaint:
This is a formal complaint against Pennymac Loan Services located in XXXX XXXX, CA. This company has repeatedly violated my consumer rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act as well as the Fair Credit Billing Act and has caused me much unnecessary financial AND mental distress. For starters, they're reporting an erroneous & unverifiable account on my credit report and not to mention an account in which I've asked for proof of claim and in which they have not been able to provide, per the FCRA & FCBA. Despite my efforts to resolve this unfortunate nightmare for several months now, Pennymac Loan Services has completely ignored my communications and legal submissions to remove this inaccurate information from my credit report. I am well aware of several other complaints filed against this company for their illegal and unethical business practices. Yet, somehow, this company is still in business. This company 's unprofessional & negligent behavior has caused lots of serious harm, not only to my ability to establish credit & good interest rates, but also to my character as a Professional and as an individual. Please help me, and the many other consumers just like me, to put a stop to the operation of these unethical & immoral business practices immediately. I sincerely appreciate your time and assistance in this matter and hope to hear from you very soon.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: MN
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Fees or interest
Sub-issue: Problem with fees

Complaint:
Please accept this formal complaint against Citi Cards, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, SD XXXX. I have two credit cards with Citi Card. On card ending in # XXXX my XX/XX/XXXX statement payment was due on XXXX XXXX, a Saturday. Payment was taken from my checking account XX/XX/XXXX. On my XX/XX/XXXX statement payment was recorded as received on XX/XX/XXXX, a Monday, along with a late fee of {$29.00}. I reached out for assistance from Citi Card sharing my information on the payment and they said I was late period. I am not aware of any financial transactions that can be completed on a weekend since the Federal Reserve is closed. The funds personally left my position/account on XX/XX/XXXX, prior to the due date. Citi Card refused to remove the late fee of {$29.00}. Please see attachments marked XXXX pmt. 
I feel my method of payment is being discriminated against. I tested a similar transaction on a Saturday by going to their website and initiating a payment to Citi Card from my checking account on XX/XX/XXXX, a Saturday. Citi Card recorded the payment received from me on same day, but the funds were not received by Citi Card until XX/XX/XXXX, a Monday. The same day taken from my checking account. This was not considered late, but Citi Card is receiving the dollars on the following Monday in both situations. Please see attachments marked Example test. Why are they treating these payments differently? 
I have been a customer of Citi XXXX since XXXX. In XXXX I opened a second credit card with them. When reviewing the last few years spend, on average it is approximately {$16000.00} per year. I pay in full and timely all my obligations. The merchant fees they earn on my purchases are an estimated {$480.00} per year approximately {$3000.00}. So, for trying/forcing me to pay a {$29.00} late fee they are willing to risk losing a loyal customer. They took it even a step further and reported me late to the credit bureaus I recently discovered. I recently applied with a new vendor for credit and was denied because of their false reporting. I started earning credit forty-three years ago and have NEVER missed a scheduled payment. My credit rating has always been exemplary. Its disturbing that Citi Card can tarnish this and prevent me from doing business for {$29.00} late fee that I feel is charged in error. I paid timely. 
Please help me have Citi Card recognize that my payment was made on time, just like the example test transaction that I completed. I request that they also reach out to all credit agencies and correct/remove what they reported in error ( which I am also told was vague late payments ). 

Thank you for your time and consideration,
