Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint:
In XXXX of XXXX, I made my mortgage payment 29 days late. Payment is due on the XXXX of the month, I paid it on the XXXX of the month. Now, the lender is showing me as 30 days delinquent on my credit reports for my XX/XX/2020 payment status. 
The payment due was {$340.00}, and I made a payment of {$350.00}. 
The FCRA is clear on this matter : payments must be applied on the date received, not on the date posted. 
Therefore, the lender is in clear violation of the CFPB. 
I have disputed this issue with the lender previously. They refuse to update and remove the delinquent payment reporting. I have also disputed this with the credit bureaus, they say that they can not change the reporting unless the lender changes the status and updates them. 
NOTE : The lender at the time of the matter in dispute was XXXX XXXX. Sometime after this incident, XXXX XXXX bought out XXXX XXXX. Sometime after that, XXXX XXXX  bought XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX is the current lender who refuses to change the incorrect status of this report.

Complaint:
I had a returned payment in the amount of {$70.00} for XXXX XXXX. It resulted in my Venmo account being frozen. I tried to resolve the issue on the app and on my desktop computer. Per the FAQ on this issue- you could resolve the error by following the prompts in the app or using the venmo.com/recover link. I have no prompts in the app other than to contact customer service. And the link doesnt work. I messaged Venmo on XX/XX/XXXX to let them know that I wasnt able to resolve the issue myself per the instructions and asked for assistance in remedying the issue to unfreeze my account. I sent several messages stating that I wanted to pay the {$70.00} so that my account would be unfrozen and I could use it again. It took several messages to get a response and I kept getting generic responses stating the FAQ information or that I had to be transferred to another dept. On XX/XX/XXXX, I finally had someone named XXXX tell me that I had to send in my bankruptcy discharge information in order to resolve the account. My bankruptcy didnt affect my Venmo whatsoever and this bankruptcy was filed in XX/XX/XXXX so no idea why it would affect my account. My case ended up being dismissed so I sent in a copy to the same email that had told me to submit this information and it restarted the ticket all over again. I got the generic message from a person named XXXX stating I had to be transferred to another dept on XX/XX/XXXX and havent received anything in response since then. This has been months of me going rounds with the company now and I need help to get this resolved. I wish to pay the {$70.00} and have my account unfrozen and active again. Ive done everything per the FAQ and submitted the requested information. And nothing is being done to help me.

Issue: Problem when making payments
Sub-issue: Problem during payment process

Complaint:
( BestBuy ) Citi Bank Visa has a scam going on. The Best Buy store will offer you 12 months interest free financing if you make a purchase for {$1000.00} or over. On XX/XX/XXXX ( XX/XX/XXXX ) I made a purchase of {$1100.00} and change. I already had a 'revolving ' balance. In XX/XX/XXXX, I made a payment over the phone. I wanted {$400.00} to go towards my 'revolving ' balance, and {$100.00} to go towards my 'Interest Free ' balance but they did just the opposite. I first made a payment on XX/XX/XXXX, with XXXX. Then I spoke to XXXX  on the XXXX, and she was going to make the correction but she didn't. Finally, I spoke to XXXX  in the Executive office to fix it. The next payment of {$500.00} on XX/XX/XXXX ( the due date of my payments ) was also not allocated correctly, and I had to have that corrected.

Today, XX/XX/XXXX, I went to my bank, XXXX XXXX XXXX, and I wanted to have my ( Best Buy ) Citibank Visa 'Revolving ' balance of {$1400.00} transferred to my XXXX XXXX XXXX , or have my XXXX XXXX XXXX pay the {$1400.00} to ( Best Buy ) CitiBank Visa . I was told that when ( Best Buy ) CitiBank Visa receives the money, they can allocate it however they want to. If this happens, the ( Best Buy ) CitiBank Visa is misleading me, and misleading the public by offering interest free payments, when they are not actually interest free.

This is a scam for CitiBank to make more money. Basically, they are NOT offering Interest Free financing because they are allocating the money in such a way that they can earn more interest.

Today,XX/XX/XXXX, I spoke to XXXX  at XXXX XXXX, who told me, issues the credit cards. I was told that the transaction would take up to 14 business days, and that I would get a confirmation in 10 business days.

My payment due date is the XXXX of the month. I am never late. If the transaction is not completed before my payment due date, and I pay my usual {$500.00}, this will throw my payments off, and I will be charged another interest fee of {$42.00}.

XXXX, in the Executive office of Citibank, said he could not help me but neither can the usual customer service person at ( Best Buy ) CitiBank Visa. They can't get it right, or, they are told NOT to get it right. They are ripping people off.

I would like to pay off my charges in the way that I would like to but they refuse to let me do that. If this is not taken care of the way it is supposed to, I will default on my payments. They are screwing me. After all the payments are made, I will cut up this card as I do not like the way they do business.

Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
XXXX XXXX is reporting inaccurately on my credit report and not following the Federal Trade Commission 's rules. Looking to purchase my first home, I opened a secured credit card with XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/2021 in hopes of increasing my credit score-but the opposite has happened with me being swindled by XXXX XXXX. I deposited {$1000.00} by bank transfer which was my credit limit. I made all payments on time and even paid the balance off, never missing a payment. Kept my utilization low, under 25 % for six months. Around XX/XX/2021, there was a purchase in the amount of {$580.00} that I did not authorize. I then immediately filed a dispute with XXXX XXXX. The dispute was supposed to end XX/XX/2021. XXXX XXXX kept my refund from my deposited monies as a permanent credit ( that no attorneys or creditors have ever heard of ), that cant be used due to the account being closed. XXXX XXXX has reported inaccurately on my credit report, such as a high credit balance and closed the account while there was an investigation going on. 
XXXX XXXX is reporting a high balance, paid satisfactorily. Which Capital One has admitted I have money that they are " holding '', over half of the deposit I sent and are keeping it ( for now, due to my attorney and I demanding my monies/ and / or going to court ). The balance can not be high if there is a credit! That is factual that {$580.00} of {$1000.00} is not spent! 
I have never written into the CFPB about this matter, only about XXXX XXXX keeping my money. I just want to make sure this is all documented.
