Complaint:
This is XXXX XXXX XXXX, who is submitting this CFPB complaint myself and to inform you that there is no third party involve in the process. I have been patiently waiting on their response about the written requests I sent. However, any modes of response or coordination were not taken on their end. They have not complied with the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 USC Sections 1681i within the time allowed by law and continued reporting as unverified information which now, given all my attempts to address it directly with the creditor, as willful negligence and non-compliance with federal statutes.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: MI
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: Store credit card
Issue: Advertising and marketing, including promotional offers
Sub-issue: Confusing or misleading advertising about the credit card

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I purchased a pair of XXXX audio headphones. After using them, I was n't satisfied with some of the features such as sound quality and noise cancellation. On XX/XX/XXXX, well within the 30-day return period, I proceeded to the store to return the item. I was then told I was not allowed to return the headphones. When I inquired as to why, I was told that I had made " too many returns '' and could not return merchandise for 1 year. I was given a slip with the name of the third-party vendor that BestBuy utilizes to monitor return activity. Nowhere is such information listed on their receipt, or in the store. The merchandise was functional and completely returned in the original packaging. When working with the BestBuy Executive Resolution Specialist, follow up was by coincidence slow to intentionally ensure if I were able to return the item, I would miss the 30-day window. After demanding an update, XXXX informed me that she was unable to lift the blackout of returns and offered me a {$100.00}. At that time, I advised how disgusted I was with the treatment and felt that since this was the best customer service I could get, I 'd take the gift card. HOWEVER, XXXX, denied my acceptance of the offer, and instead informed that XXXX XXXX XXXX   that I declined. Per the documentation, that is an outright fabrication. This return policy is deceptive. We as consumers do n't have any idea that our purchases and returns are even being monitored. Let alone, that we only have limited capability to truly determine if we 're satisfied with the purchase. This policy is well hidden and extremely convoluted leaving a consumer to feel as if they do n't have rights. This is an unfair and deceptive business practice employed by BestBuy. First, as an Elite member,  we are given 60 days to make returns based on the volume of purchases. Secondly, as a BestBuy credit cardholder or Elite Member, they NEVER disclose that they track purchases based on your e-mail or account information to limit the amount of returns you can make. So while BestBuy has their " general '' return policy posted in stores, what they do n't advertise is that they have two separate return policies in place that greatly limits the consumer ability to fairly choose whether a product is right for them. Therefore, I demand that Best Buy honor their offer of providing a gift card, as well as lift the " blackout '' of no returns from my account immediately.

They called and said they are collecting for a debt with XXXX XXXX XXXX I advised I did not owe any debts with XXXX. I asked him for proof of the debt and avoided the subject and offered a settlement that was significantly lower then what he was collecting. I told him I would email back. 

I have had dealing with XXXX and I called them. They advised I had no outstanding debt with them.

I called them back and left 2 voicemails requesting a validation of debt. They stopped calling for almost 2 months. Then they started texting saying that I was ignoring them. Again I left another message requesting a validation of debt and they keep texting me saying I am being EVASIVE and they will FREEZE my accounts.

Company: Phoenix Financial Services LLC
State: IL
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Medical debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt was paid

Complaint:
I had an initial balance of {$1700.00} but agreed to pay {$1100.00} to Phoenix Financial Services LLC, which worked for XXXX XXXX XXXX. The person I spoke with said that the letters I receive in the mail will reference the initial balance rather than what I agreed to pay, but that it will be removed once I pay it off. This agreement was made around the end of XX/XX/2019 or beginning of XX/XX/2019. This debt was placed on my credit report. To pay off the {$1100.00} and have it removed from my credit report, I paid {$95.00} every two weeks for about 6 months, which I completed paying off in XX/XX/2019. I would consistently receive letters in the mail reminding me of the balance and the balance on the letters would decrease as I paid. I made the last two payments together to finish paying off the debt a little faster and to get it over with. The payments were automatic and completed by Phoenix because I provided my debit card information. After I finished paying off the agreed debt I received a confirmation number but never a receipt of payment, but the mark on my credit was removed. I also stopped receiving letters from Phoenix and never received a phone call or letter about any missing payments after I finished paying the agreed amount. 
A few weeks ago, I received a letter from XXXX XXXX XXXX by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, stating I had a remaining balance of {$610.00}, which is about the difference between the initial balance and the amount I agreed to pay to Phoenix. I called Phoenix to see if I can receive a proof of payment since I paid the settled amount but I have not received anything from them and I gave them the confirmation number to see if that would help for me to receive proof, but they did not care for it and they said my payments were never completed, but I have every transaction number and I spoke with someone from my bank to explain the situation and they said all my payments were successful to Phoenix. I believe the {$610.00} amount was never removed from my account with Phoenix which is why I received this second collections letter.

I had to dispute them in addition my insurance agency has to make contact with them to dispute there action since I had the quick claim deed. After that was settled i was told to only make payments threw there speedway method as the only way to avoid late fees. They would hold my payment as a partial payment and not apply it to my account causing me late fee s after I had already payed for there speedway method. My payments would be applied to other things than my account causing me to have to send more money to complete the partial payment they had takin money out of. I would do one time payment options and Ditech would set up unauthorized payments without my knowledge this action caused my bank account to overdraft XXXX dollars and be closed in XXXX XXXX. I would send them my payment and receive my confirmation number to later find out they did n't take the money out of my account and that caused my account to default my loan. I sent 3x the amount i would have payed of they would not have refused my payment in the first place. My phone records prove they call me 10 x a or more a day from XXXX in the morning till XXXX at night. The line will be dead when I answer it.
