Sub-issue: Other problem

Complaint:
I am a long-term citi card holder ( gold card ending in XXXX ) who is at the end of my rope with Citi. I have now had 6 phone calls with customer service, including one with a supervisor last night. 

I have {$7800.00} credit on my account due to XXXX XXXX refunds : 6 on my XX/XX/XXXX statement and 2 on XX/XX/XXXX. I requested a check refund on XX/XX/XXXX and was told I would receive it in 7-10 business days. I requested one again on XX/XX/XXXX via message on the app. because 2 more XXXX credits had been posted on XX/XX/XXXX. Was told two checks would be issued, one for {$5100.00} and a second for {$2500.00}.

When my statement continued to show a credit balance, I called customer service again  on XX/XX/XXXX, and was told the refund was awaiting approval and I would receive a check for the full amount of {$7800.00}. 
When no check was forthcoming, and my account was still showing the full credit, I called again last night, XX/XX/XXXX. I finally spoke to a supervisor and was told the refund had NOT YET BEEN APPROVED and the only way he can communicate with that department is via email because there is NO PHONE NUMBER. 

Meanwhile, Citi is sitting on almost {$8000.00} of MY MONEY. This is not only disgraceful, but I wonder if it is illegal.Another supervisor called tonight to say she is waiting to hear from the approval department and she has no idea of the criteria they use for approval or what the process is.

Sub-issue: Public record information inaccurate

Complaint:
This communication is in reference to my LexisNexis Accurint Report dated XX/XX/2023, Consumer Number XXXX, Case Number XXXX. 

This communication shall serve as my formal written notice to LexisNexis that my LexisNexis Accurint Report contains numerous inaccuracies. Additionally, this communication shall serve as my formal written request for LexisNexis to remove the inaccuracies that I have identified in my LexisNexis Accurint Report. 

The item in dispute is the Incorrect Possible Criminal Records that LexisNexis is reporting on my LexisNexis Accurint Report.

This is my third notice to LexisNexis regarding the Incorrect Possible Criminal Records that LexisNexis is reporting on my LexisNexis Accurint Report.

This information is incorrect as I do NOT have a criminal record. It appears that the item LexisNexis is reporting is an alleged traffic offense. In Illinois, traffic offenses are NOT considered to be criminal in nature. 

Additionally, the LexisNexis Accurint Report does NOT identify the county where the alleged traffic offense is said to have occurred. Additionally, the LexisNexis Accurint Report does NOT contain the disposition of the alleged offense. 

I kindly request that LexisNexis promptly rectify the inaccuracies that I have identified in my LexisNexis Accurint Report.
