Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone

Complaint:
I am trying to dispute a couple of accounts that include inaccurate information and keep getting these emails from Experian refusing to investigate because they're saying the dispute is not coming from me. I have provided all of my information including my name, address, social, date of birth, and the account information. I'm not sure what else I'm supposed to do! They gave me a number to call which is just a recorded message that loops round and round. I jumped on XXXX to find a solution and read that Experian does this to prevent consumers from disputing things on their credit reports. That's what lead me to the CFPB website because I was told that these actions were illegal and violating my rights and that filing a complaint against them XXXX help me get them to investigate my disputes. I have XXXX collection accounts that I did not recognize on my report and and contacted the collection company, XXXX XXXX letting them know that I did not recognize or know about these accounts and they could not provide me with any information about them, if they belonged to me or, had any documentation about the debts they could provide. I then let Experian know that these debts are unfounded and there is not evidence they belong to me according to the collector and they just ignored me. I then pointed out that they're not even reporting correct and that's when they started sending me these emails refusing to investigate it. From what I've read online Experian is maliciously refusing to remove these accounts from my report because they get paid to report negative items on credit reports. Hopefully the CFPB can do something about it because they shouldn't be able to hurt people like this.

Complaint:
My name is XXXX, Im in my late XXXX, and trying to fix this has felt like mission impossible. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX, a debt buyer, and the three Credit Reporting Agencies have been the most difficult task I have ever encountered.

Im desperate. 

I know the CFPB has inroads so please take this nightmare away from me and to them! 

THIS DISPUTE IS REGARDING ORIGINAL LENDER : XXXX XXXX  Acct XXXX in the amount of {$2600.00}. 

This trade line just appeared on my credit report. I explained it was probably a credit mix up and asked to have it removed. But my request was completely ignored. 

It was never my loan. I never applied for it and never received it. As a matter of fact, I was told that not a single payment was ever made on that note. 

I got an email offer in XXXX via email to settle the amount for {$260.00}. 

I accepted because I was tired of the calls. Every morning, before I got up they were already calling! 

But it should not be that way. The information on there is supposed to be accurate and they have a legal obligation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act 's Furnisher Rule.

For XXXX months I have tried to have this debt either validated or deleted and Ive achieved neither. 


I mailed XXXX letters via USPS CERTIFIED AND RETURN RECEIPT to XXXX from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX. 

XX/XX/XXXX I mailed XXXX, EQUIFAX AND XXXX a letter stating my intent to sue. 

I hope that there is resolution between XXXX and I. 

Enclosed is documentation supporting my request : the letters mailed over the last XXXX  months ( although they did nothing to help ). 

Please investigate this matter and delete the disputed item as soon as possible.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: CA
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Managing an account
Sub-issue: Deposits and withdrawals

Complaint:
Citibank blocked/froze my account.

This whole ordeal started with my employer 's check being bounced due to their automatic fraud protection procedures. I was issued a new check and I deposited it into my Citibank account without problems. Subsequently, I setup direct deposit with my employer to avoid this problem in the future.

After the first direct deposit from my employer, Citibank " blocks '' my account and I am unable to access funds. I call Citibank to inquire about my account, and am transferred from department to department before they rudely and abruptly hang up on me.

I've attempted to reach out to Citibank via telephone over 5 times, and each time yield the same results. They would transfer me from department to department ( usually a 30-45 minute process ) before rudely hanging up on me after telling me that they can't release any further information.

This happened while I was filing for bankruptcy, causing me extreme hardship and greatly affected my ability to stay alive.

I NEED my money and am having trouble staying alive without it.
