Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes

Complaint:
I am trying to put in place credit freezes with Experian, XXXX and XXXX. The date is XXXX XXXX, 2021. I have had no problems with the latter two. However, Experians online and phone systems do not work. Its a nightmare. 

First, credit freezes do not appear on the Experian site and theres no way to search. I finally found freeze options when I clicked on a product they sell credit lock. On that page, in very small letters, they explain that a credit lock is different than a freeze. Clicking on the freeze takes you to an application which doesnt function properly. It keeps telling me I havent filled in my old addresses when there are no blanks for this information. 

The phone system also doesnt work. It only gives you options to unfreeze but not freeze your credit reports. 

Ive been trying without luck to get a person on the phone or via chat. 

I went through a similar nightmare in XXXX trying to temporarily unfreeze my credit reports. Again, it was simple with the other two companies. I eventually got someone one the phone at Experian. Unfortunately, I have been unable to do the same now.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: NY
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: Card was charged for something you did not purchase with the card

Complaint:
Hello on XX/XX/XXXX, I've got 4 fraud transactions on my Citi double cash card. 

1. Home Depot ( XXXX ) {$600.00} 2. Home Depot ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) {$160.00} 3. Home Depot ( XXXX ) {$110.00} 4. Exxon Mobil ( XXXX ) {$44.00} total fraud transaction {$910.00} Right after I've received a text message that Citibank sent me about the transactions, I've made a call to the fraud department to stop paying them because it wasn't me. 
Fraud department told me they will stop the card and issue me new card. 
however, although new card came to me, Citibank did not credit me for the fraud amount until XX/XX/XXXX. 

on XX/XX/XXXX, I've received a letter from Citibank stating that EMV chip was used to make disputed transactions.so they don't consider this fraudulent activity. 

next day I've contacted fraud department and explained again to XXXX who was the representative in fraud department. 
she told me there will be another investigation for my case also she asked me to send an email to fraud department with the evidence ( supporting document ) we've found while having a conversations on the phone. 

after weeks from the letter, XX/XX/XXXX today, I've called them again because my Citi account still showed the fraud transactions balance on it. 
while talking to the representative from fraud department, I've noticed that no one in the department looked at my case. 
representative from XX/XX/XXXX promised me for the new investigation because we both realized how I got fraud transactions. XXXX fraudulent requested replacement card from my account and used it to pay with the EMV chip reader ) which means more than proper reason to re-investigate the case. 
however, representative from today was repeating my case is closed Citibank will not investigate any further unless customer investigate on their own and bring new evidence. 
I've asked the fraud department several times to help my situation in good faith, but answer was the same. Fraud department will not help the customer unless customer brings the evidence to prove themselves innocent.

Complaint:
Im submitting this complaint against XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX due to their total disregard for my consumer rights under the FCRA/FCBA/FDCPA. For several months now, I've been disputing inaccurate and unverifiable information showing up on my credit report by this company. I have requested intimate information about the alleged accounts, including a copy of an agreement with my signature on it, but I have yet to receive anything. These companies continue to electronically verify these " ghost '' accounts without providing any legally binding evidence, such as a signed contract and complete accounting of the record, as required by law. They're clearly lying and thus the reason Im asking for proof. However, these companies refuse to provide it, which is not right and is not compliant with the FCRA/FDCPA. Im absolutely fed up. My life has been in complete ruin as a result of this. It's causing enormous mental and financial distress, preventing me from getting approved from credit that I am rightfully entitled to, and not to mention the ample amount of time that I must take out to try and resolve this matter myself. This has brought a great deal of harm to my family as a whole as well. Ive just had enough! Please help! I hope to hear from you soon.

Sub-issue: Old information reappears or never goes away

Complaint:
Equifax continues to show my credit score 29 points lower than it should be. Since it shows my payments 100 % on time, and XXXX  and Equifax claim to use the same method to calculate scores, they should be fairly close to each other. This has gone on for several months now. I was late on one of my banks ' payments back in XXXX of 2015, however Equifax and XXXX  both say that I have 100 % on time payments with all of my four bank payments each month. XXXX says that late Payments usually disappear from credit reports in three to four years. Since this is the only thing negative in my complete report ... What's up? I've complained once before about Equifax, and you took care of it - is this retribution for that? Any help that you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for your time in this matter.

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: CA
Product: Credit card
Issue: Billing disputes

Complaint:
On XXXX XXXX 2016, I was on a business trip in Illinois. I called XXXX XXXX, my flight carrier, to change my return trip to XXXX. I was originally scheduled to fly back the next day, but I wanted to fly back that same day instead, if there 's any flight available. The XXXX XXXX customer service rep initially said that there is a flight available on that same afternoon and she could change my reservation but a change fee of {$220.00} would be incurred. I said sure go ahead make the change. After she made the change and my Amex credit card was charged with the change fee, she came back and said that she made a mistake and the flight that she found was from XXXX to Illinois, not Illinois to XXXX. I told her to undo the change to my reservation and she did. My flight reservation was back to the following day as it was originally scheduled. However, she said that she 's unable to reverse the credit card charge and she will instead send me a travel certificate good for one year. That 's unacceptable to me since I have no plans to fly XXXX within the next year nor can the travel voucher be used for a non-XXXX flight. Since this is completely not my fault, I feel that anything less than a full refund to my credit card is unfair, which is why I immediately disputed this charge via my credit card provider, American Express. On XXXX XXXX 2016, American Express closed the dispute without sending me an explanation. Upon my calling their customer service center, I was informed that they do not have the ability to compel the merchant to reverse this erroneous charge and that since the merchant has refused to do so, I am liable for the charge. I feel that I am left with no choice but to appeal to the CFPB for help in this matter. Thank you for your attention.
