State: VA
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement
Sub-issue: Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement

Complaint:
Citi stated that there was an XXXX charge on XX/XX/XXXX for the amount of {$190.00} have tried since XX/XX/XXXX to dispute this charge with Citi Cards.. The first dispute was denied and I had to send in another dispute on XX/XX/XXXX. 
They advised that the dispute process is more of an automated system. If a person would actually have worked this, they would have seen numerous red flags.. 
I can prove that I was not located in California using XXXX or did any type of charge with XXXX. The sad part is that a number of XXXX charges came thru and citi removed those.. but didnt remove the XXXX 
Now the CITI bill has come due on XXXX XXXX When I called in to start the 2nd dispute, they advised that it would be 30 days.. spoke to a XXXX. 
Now I just called in and spoke to a XXXX. at XXXX after numerous calls and chats.. she is saying I owe and it will go against my credit if I dont pay it.. Not sure how a credit card company gets away with a charge thats in dispute.. that will go against someones credit score. They should take way that charge while in dispute.. if its truly a charge,. then put back on.. other credit card companies take the charge away until the dispute is final.

Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
XXXX XXXX reported our dismissed bankruptcy without prejudice to the three credit bureaus, even though they did not obtain this information directly from the courts ( listed as the " Creditor '' ) There is no " creditor '' in this case as no activity occurred whatsoever regarding this case. Credit bureaus are advising that this will be on our report until 2029 even though no product or service was ever rendered to or by us by anyone or any business at all regarding this case. How can a 3rd party reporting service report a case of owed credit that does not exist? Would that not be considered fraudulent information? 
We have contacted the court, who has let us know that they neither report XXXX verify this information, so the credit bureaus saying they verified the information as accurate can not possibly be true.

ATTENTION DISPUTE DEPARTMENT XXXX, XXXX A SOC SEC # XXXX DOB XX/XX/XXXX ADDRESS XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, FL XXXX Equifax XXXX. XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX I recently submitted a request for investigation of an Acct Number : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX -- XXXX XXXX -- XXXX XXXX -- XXXX {$3000.00} REV {$1100.00} {$35.00} {$0.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX CUR WAS XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX {$1300.00} XXXX {$1300.00} XXXX - {$1300.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX/XXXX/XXXX Ive submitted enough information regarding the fraudulent account thats open in my name I have provided information for your company to have carried out a reasonable investigation of this dispute. If you had investigated properly rather then using your e-Oscar system you would have noticed that this account is not mine which your companies have claimed to Verified. Since youve obviously neglected to investigate this account thoroughly I am demanding you remove this account off my profile. It is at this time that I will point out the in XXXX v XXXX, XXXX v. XXXX ( XXXX ), and XXXX v. XXXX, Equifax et, the courts ruled each and every time that the CRA couldnt merely Parrot information from the creditors and collection agencies that they have conduct an independent REASONABLE investigation to ensure the validity of the debt and honesty/integrity of the creditors/CA in question. Sending out a generic form through the e-Oscar system that doesnt even contain my reasons for the dispute is not reasonable. 

If you dont initiate an investigation regarding my dispute, as it is my right under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, I will have to take legal action to protect my credit rating and myself. Which Im sure you are aware each violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act allows damages of {$1000.00} should this matter ends up in court. 
I look forward to an expedite resolution of this matter Thank you.

State: CA
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent out certified mail letters to each Credit Reporting Agency regarding the inaccurate and incomplete accounts on my consumer report. I have received responses from each of them stating that they have completed the investigation and verified everything as accurate. 

This is false because there are a number of inaccuracies on my consumer report that still remain. 

XXXX. I am disputing this account for inaccurate information because XXXX is reporting a monthly payment on a charged-off account. Now, it is to my knowledge that a charged-off account is an account that has already been closed by the original creditor so how is it that a closed account can have a monthly payment? This is misleading as it makes it looks like I made payment arrangements with the creditor which is not the case. 
XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX XXXX. XXXX is reporting the date of the last activity as XX/XX/XXXX while Transunion is reporting XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX is reporting XX/XX/XXXX. Having the wrong date of the last activity makes this account inaccurate because it does not clearly tell you when the account is supposed to fall off. 
XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX XXXX. This account has been deleted from XXXX but somehow it is still being reported by XXXX. I am aware that 15 USC 1681i states that if an item is deemed to be inaccurate or incomplete, then, the credit reporting agency shall delete it and notify the data furnisher and creditor. If XXXX notified you and the data furnisher that it was inaccurate and incomplete, how are you still reporting this information? 
FIRST XXXX BANK Account Number : XXXX XXXX. Provide me with the date of delinquency that the creditor has provided to you. I am of the belief that the date of delinquency is incorrect and needs to be removed if you can not provide it. 
XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX I am now requesting the description of the re-investigation procedure pursuant to 15 usc 1687i ( 7 ). They have 15 days to respond to the description or else the above-listed accounts need to be removed from my consumer report. 

Please delete these items from my consumer report.

Sub-issue: Confusing or misleading advertising about the credit card

Complaint:
The XXXX interest rate promotion is deceptive. By using the cash advance promotion, you would think the cash advance balance would be separated from your other credit card transactions. The expectation would be receiving no interest charges on the cash advance balance, and any new purchases if you pay off the purchases in time. However, in contrary to this, I still got charged a fee after I followed their FAQ by paying off my purchases balance and a little bit more for the promotional balance. My experience is worsen by the fact that the agents I talked to could not explain how the " Balance Subject to Interest Rate '' was calculated. It took me multiple tries to even get my answer.

Not to mention, the wording of the aforementioned FAQ. 

" If you make purchases while carrying a standard or promotional rate XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, you'll immediately incur interest on those purchases, unless you have a 0 % rate on Purchases or you pay off the entire account balance each month. '' This can be easily be interpreted as paying off the purchases balance only in this context. There is nowhere in the FAQ where it says how you can avoid such fees if you did make purchases, or how to avoid the same fee next month. This is clearly another case of a predatory bank being confusing to trick common customers and get their money.
