State: CA
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

Complaint:
Despite multiple attempts, I have been unable to resolve the issue of fraudulent inquiries appearing on my consumer report. These inquiries are not associated with me in any way, and I bear no responsibility for them. Their presence has caused significant mental and financial distress. As a victim of identity theft, I have no alternative but to consider legal action if this matter is not appropriately addressed. These inaccurate and fraudulent items on my consumer report have hindered my ability to purchase my dream house and provide for my family 's needs. The impact on my financial well-being has been substantial. For your reference, I have attached a copy of the letter I previously sent to the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), which outlines this issue and seeks resolution.

Complaint:
I have tried multiple times to have identity theft fraud acounts taken off of my credit report. Equifax, XXXX  and XXXX  keep filing it as a normal dispute and not identity theft. I've submitted ftc reports and proper identification several times. My right are being violated I've talked to several managers and all they tell me is there's nothing they cam do until investigation is done.. it is keeping me from qualifying for a mortgage and I am facing eviction I've been working on this for months. They refuse to take items off that do not belong to me. My XXXX kids and I are going to be XXXX. This is entrapment. I feel helpless. And as if I have no rights and the credit bureaus get to dictate my life. I don't understand why they are not following the law. I submitted my ID and social security card along with ftc reports. Why won't they do their job? It's the most rediculouse ordeal I've ever encountered. I've called almost daily basis I've spoken with managers they all yell me somthing different and ultimately that I have to continue to wait. I did wait resubmitted my documentation for them to again file it not as identity theft but as a normal dispute. It's insane and I am going to sue but in the meantime. I need these items taken off or we will be XXXX.

Complaint:
I received a letter from XXXX ( XXXX ) reducing my credit limit from {$500.00} to {$100.00}. Because I had never been late on any payment or asked for an increase in the credit limit, I was surprised. According to the XXXX representative, Trans Union listed delinquencies, which cause the change. As a result, my credit score was reduced. 

The information reported by Trans Union was incorrect. I want this form of credit discrimination and injustice reported and corrected.

Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint:
This will be the 3rd attempt to stop Experian from reporting ten closed accounts for the US Department of EducationXXXX and ten closed accounts XXXXDept of Education on my credit report XXXX These accounts have been closed since XX/XX/2020 and XX/XX/2020, respectively. They do not show as open accounts on XXXX and XXXX which I also explained to them on the forms and in a letter. The impact of having this information displayed on my account as open has kept me from being able to rent/lease a place to live because my credit score is too low ( XXXX ) and it shows reason code : 11 - The total of your delinquent or derogatory account balances is too high. We currently live in a hotel. 
Secondly, I have asked more than 3 times for a duplicate account from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to be removed from my credit report. The company charged me twice for the same day of service and the bill was paid in full by my insurance company. They never send any documentation to my email address, they only tell me " The information you disputed has been verified as accurate, however, information unrelated to your dispute has been updated. Account #. Where is the proof? I have even written XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX and neither of them have emailed any verification documents or proof either. 
The information contained on one credit reports should be exact or at least similar in content and Experian is always different and the worst when it comes to depicting someone's owed or owned debt. I am disputing these items every 3 months, if necessary, until they remove it or until I contact the Office of the Attorney General. I don't want to live in a hotel forever but until they remove the closed accounts for US Department of Education and XXXXDept . of Ed, and the duplicate account for XXXX XXXX XXXX, we will continue to live here because my credit score will never be high enough to rent or lease a place outside of here.

State: FL
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:
I am sending this message to complain CitiBank AAdvantage card for unreasonable late fee charged on my account and the monthly interest that was charged later on every month. 
With this card, there was no annual fee for the first year and after that there would be a {$99.00} dollars fee annually. In XXXX, I scheduled the payment of {$99.00} dollars online and selected the " due '' date for the payment, which was on XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, my account was charged for a late fee {$29.00} dollars, another late fee {$1.00}, and an interest {$1.00}, which I did not agree with. In XXXX, my account was charged with a late fee {$40.00} and interest {$1.00} on top of previous charges and the situation continued until XXXX XXXX when I called the Customer Services to dispute those fees and interest. I was told that the {$99.00} annual fee payment was received on XX/XX/XXXX instead of XXXX  that I selected for the payment on due day, so there was an one day late fee of {$29.00}. I argued that I selected the due date online but actual transaction might occurred later, which I had nothing to do with it. So the customer service representative agreed to remove the fees and interest to keep me as their customer. Now I noticed that initial late fee {$29.00} and {$1.00} and the interest {$1.00} were refunded, but the subsequent monthly fees and interest were still there for me to pay. I believe that those subsequent fees and interests were based on the initial late fees and interest and if they had been refunded, so would be those fees and interests charged in the later months. It is unethical and unreasonable for a bank such as CitiBank to do such a thing like this to rob its customer.

Chase closed my open credit card that I just paid off.. I recently made extra payments beyond minimum to pay down that credit card. I am trying to pay down my debits and increase my credit score.

If they closed my account due to high balances on other cards, yet see that I am trying to pay down my debits one card at a time, and Chase being one of them that got paid off, they are penalizing me for paying my card off by closing it.
