Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: CA
Product: Credit card
Sub-product: Store credit card
Issue: Advertising and marketing, including promotional offers
Sub-issue: Confusing or misleading advertising about the credit card

Complaint:
I am writing to file a formal complaint concerning deceptive marketing practices that I believe may have violated Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act ( FTC Act ) ( 15 USC 45 ) by Best Buy, a prominent consumer electronics retailer. 

On XX/XX/2020, I visited a local Best Buy store located at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, CA XXXX. During this visit, I made a substantial purchase exceeding {$1000.00} and opted for a financing option offered by Best Buy through their credit card program. The offer presented to me was a 0 % Annual Percentage Rate ( APR ) financing plan over a 24-month period. I was told that the {$1000.00} would be evenly divided into monthly payments over the course of 24 months.

Regrettably, I later discovered that the payments were not arranged as initially described. Instead of the expected 24-month installment plan, the payments were set to " MINIMUM DUE, '' which caused the 0 % APR to expire, leading to a significant accumulation of interest charges over nearly two and a half years. 

This discrepancy arose from what I believe was inadequate clarification and transparency in the marketing of Best Buy 's credit card offer. Unlike previous experiences with other retailers, I was not given clear and accurate information regarding the terms and conditions of the financing arrangement. 

I have attempted to address this matter through Best Buy 's customer service, particularly their credit card department. Unfortunately, my efforts have been stymied. I received a whole bunch of gibberish from their executive team. 

I hereby request the following actions be taken : An investigation into Best Buy 's marketing practices related to their credit card offers, particularly the clarity of terms and conditions provided to customers. 

A remedy for my specific situation, which entails a full refund of all fees and interest charges incurred on my Best Buy credit card account in relation to this purchase. 

I trust that the Federal Trade Commission will treat this complaint with the seriousness it deserves and take appropriate actions to ensure that consumers are not misled by deceptive marketing practices. I anticipate your response within a reasonable timeframe. 

Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter.

Complaint:
On XXXX, I submitted a request to block items on my consumer report as I am a victim of identity theft. This was not a dispute, however, the FCRA has chosen to forgo Federal regulation and apply their company policy to treat this as a dispute. In fact, when I called them, they stated that their policy supersedes Federal law ( which states ) ( a ) Block A consumer reporting agency should block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date receipt by such agency of- ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report, ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer, and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer. I submitted proof that my social security number, fingerprints, birthdate, addresses, and other identifying information were affected by the XXXX XXXX data breach as well as Equifax 's XXXX data breach. I submitted all the required documents per 15usc1681c and yet the CRA has failed to block this information and it has been over 4 days. Again, this is NOT A DISPUTE.

Company: CARRINGTON MORTGAGE SERVICES, LLC
State: WA
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: FHA mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
My Mortgage servicer wrongly reported 2 late payments in XX/XX/XXXX & XX/XX/XXXX. Both claims were actually the mortgage company 's fault so I appealed both charges 3 times. Their response letter agreed with one fault that caused the late payment in XXXX but dismissed the second fault that caused the late payment in XXXX. No adjustments to my credit report were made. They served my address with a foreclosure notice instead. 
When I inquired of the foreclosure notice, the mortgage company had no record of sending one. I then disputed my uncorrected report with XXXX 3 more times by submitting my evidence of timely payments made and the letter of admission from Mortgage company that caused the first negative remark but XXXX 's solution was to appeal my Mortgage company. All instances involved the mortgage company failing to send notifications of service changes & I have all of the proof necessary.

Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
My mortgage company did not automatically remove my monthly PMI charge despite already having reached a principal balance that is 78 % of my home value. 
I purchased my home for {$500000.00} and initially only put 10 % down so I have been charged a monthly PMI. Starting in XX/XX/XXXX my principal balance had reached {$380000.00}. I mailed a few letters requesting PMI removal but did not hear back, so on XX/XX/XXXX XXXX am I called XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, I spoke with XXXX. Questioned why my PMI has not been removed since my principal has reached 78 % of original home value back in XX/XX/XXXX. She said she would send a request to have it removed. 
I told her that I was advised that in the state of California PMI is supposed to fall off automatically once principal reaches 78 %. After placing me on hold she let me know that she will submit a request to have PMI removed and those extra PMI payments refunded, but told me that there was no guarantee. 
I got a letter letting me know that PMI has been removed from my monthly mortgage payment starting XX/XX/XXXX, despite meeting criteria of automatic removal back in XX/XX/XXXX. They also denied my refund request for PMI payments that were sent in XXXX and XXXX.
