Issue: Credit monitoring or identity theft protection services
Sub-issue: Billing dispute for services

Complaint:
I went to XXXX University from XXXX and had student loans for tuition through XXXX, serviced by XXXX XXXX Student Loans from XXXX through XXXX. In summer XXXX ( XX/XX/XXXX ), XXXX switched servicers from XXXX XXXX to XXXX Student Loans. At that moment in time all student loans ( different years / semesters ) were paid on time and paid ahead. All payments from XXXX to XXXX were made on time and for an amount above the minimum payment required resulting in paid ahead balances. XXXX had different privacy policies than XXXX XXXX that I was not familiar with. In the communication from XXXX, I was told my accounts, login ID, passwords would not change. And that was true. I continued to login with the same ID and password and make the same monthly payment as had been for the past 10 years. In XXXXXX/XX/XXXX, XXXX reached out saying I did not make a payment on my student loan. I checked my bank account and money transferred from my bank account to XXXX for the same amount as had been for the past 10.5 years. XXXX / XXXX reported this to the Credit Agencies taking my Credit Score from just above 800 down to about 710. Eventually, XXXX and I were able to determine that XXXX had different privacy settings than XXXX XXXX and that had led to the payments ( {$600.00} per month for 10.5 years ) to not be applied in the same manner than XXXX XXXX had applied them. This caused one of the loans to not be receiving part of that {$600.00} payment. The remainder of the {$600.00} payment I continued to make was being applied to paid ahead balances on the other loans while letting this one loan go into default. Through all of my communication with XXXX they agreed they were in error and would fix this. However, it was never done. I was continually spun in circles. It was eventually escalated to XXXX executive offices ( XXXX ) who did a review and said that I never made a payment on that loan and therefore it was in default. Subsequently, the following month I made the same {$600.00} payment and the {$850.00} balance of the loan went to {$0.00}. XXXX moved paid ahead balances from other loans to that loan to pay it off and then close it. I did not request XXXX to do that action. When I followed up with XXXX to ask how that happened the service representative was not able to explain how it happened and said that it shouldn't have. If XXXX had that capability then why would they have not done it before putting the loan into delinquency. I have been in communication with XXXX and XXXX for the past three ( 3 ) months and have continued to just be spun in circles. I don't know where to turn to at this point.

Sub-issue: Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone

Complaint:
There have been litany of problems regarding the reporting of my credit by credit reporting agencies, as I try and fix them I'm being met with obstruction. After requesting and receiving a copy of my Credit report from Experian, I found several problems on it. I then tried to challenge the problems on the report, and found that I was unable to challenge them online. When I attempted to challenge problems on my report, I was receiving the message " Unable to challenge online, you will have to contact Customer Service ''. I then contacted Customer Service and explained the problem that I was having, and was asked several questions but the Customer Service Rep.

After answering the question the Rep explained that I wouldn't be able to challenge the information on my report because one of the addresses that I gave wasn't on the report. I explained  that this doesn't make sense, that the information on my report is incorrect and this is why I need to challenge the information. I asked why I couldn't challenge the information, and was told " I can't tell you that ''. When I asked to speak with someone else because this makes no sense, the Rep. then hung up the phone on me, can you help me with this problem?

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: MD
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Credit card debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt was paid

Complaint:
I filed an earlier complaint regarding the collection practices of a third party organization assigned by Citi Bank. Citi Bank did not respond with validation of the alleged debt being collected on. Checks were sent via postal mail years ago to satisfy the outstanding balance on the credit card account I had with Citi Bank. I had been under the impression the matter was resolved many years ago. Citi Bank instead replied with NO documentation : no canceled checks, no financial ledger, no account statements reflecting the alleged outstanding debt, etc. I 've been the victim of financial fraud in the past and am leery of the absence of proper documentation as well as illegal collections practices Citi Bank has participated in over the years. 

I would like for Citi Bank to halt possibly predatory collections practices on alleged debt, debt that there has been no documentation provided to validate. 

I would like for Citi Bank to provide proof that the money paid to satisfy the balance on my credit card account held with them circa 2007 was simply not noted on the wrong account. 

I would like for Citi Bank to provide statements for that card account mailed to me reflecting an unpaid balance.

Complaint:
I filed a dispute with Capital One Bank ( USA ) Na over 30 days ago and they have yet to respond to my Affidavit Of Truth, which was sent to them via certified mail. Which they received on XX/XX/21 and they have failed to answer. I informed Capital One Bank ( USA ) Na that I am disputing their claim. Moreover I requested that Capital One Bank ( USA ) Na supply me with copy of the contract with my authentic signature and their authentic signature which makes the contract legal. Capital One Bank ( USA ) Na never provided a copy of contract with my authentic signature or their authentic signature and continue to report this account to the credit reporting agency. This account should have been deleted off the CRA files. Further more the fair credit reporting act regulates how creditors handle consumers dispute. The statue states that when a consumer disputes any item the creditor should conduct a reasonable investigation within 30 days to determine if the challenge item is correct. After 30 days have expired if creditor have not completed the investigation the disputed item must be deleted. Finally Capital One Bank ( USA ) Na failed to report the dispute to the CRA which is a violation of the FCRA section 623 and carries a fine.
