Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
We leased a vehicle from XXXX XXXX which finances through XXXX XXXX, a dba of JP Morgan. The dealer pulled my credit twice and on the same day JP Morgan pulled it. As a result my XXXX  score declined from XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX to XXXX in XXXX. 

Additionally, XXXX XXXX pulled my credit on XX/XX/XXXX even though I have no XXXX XXXX accounts open. 

These XXXX  scores are complete nonsense. I am XXXX of an XXXX XXXX XXXX, have an adequate personal income from employment, and am continually reducing hangover debt balances built up during business startup. 

I note that different lenders use different XXXX algorithms, with JP Morgan consistently choosing an algorithm least favorable to customers. 

There is no reason to have multiple credit reporting agencies making money out of their misconstrued view of my creditworthiness. Lenders should ONLY be concerned with payment record, and mine is perfect. All the rest is simply an excuse to overcharge the consumer.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: IA
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: Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement

Complaint:
Citi cards did not provide us any appeal documentation or proof of their dispute resolution reasoning. They failed to properly adjunct a dispute with overwhelming proof that we did not receive a service as expected and the product was defective. We provided evidence that supported mis-advertisement to Citi. We also provided proof that we had to purchase the same product from another vendor, because the merchant we had the dispute with on our Citi card was terribly inaccurate and fraudulent. 

-The merchant was offered an opportunity to correct his work and provide the service as advertised, which included providing documentation of comparable vehicle values and correcting errors in his report. He did not correct the errors, did not provide supporting documentation as advertised, and valued our vehicle less than an industry standard market price in spite of providing purchase price documentation. Citi was made aware of this with complete documentation. 

Rather than reversing the dispute Citi asked me to get a refund letter or agreement from the merchant. Obviously, the merchant was refusing to do this in the first place, hence why we had to proceed with the dispute and invoke our protections under the card member agreement for mis-advertised service, a unusable document/work product ( due to errors the merchant refused to correct ), and unethical practices that included no signed credit card authorization receipt by the merchant and citi cards accepting the transaction without properly signed authorization. As you will note, there is no document in the file that indicates I signed for payment on this specific credit card following receipt of this merchants product. I would have refused to pay until he delivered the product that we ordered and signed for. Please review our response for a detailed explanation in the attached documentation titled " evidence letter 2 & evidence letter 3 ''.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
It has come to my attention that there is an account reporting on my credit report, that I have no knowledge of. I have contacted XXXX, and they were unable to locate an account under my information that I gave to them. I then disputed this account with the CRAs. The dispute was closed with a status of " updated ''. I don't believe that his account was properly investigated because if it were, the account would have been removed from my credit report as required. 

I noticed that the account 's date of last activity was changed, which is causing even more damage to my credit. Upon further investigation into this account, it appears that creditor or CRAs are reporting vastly different payment information each month, and the payment information is being changed from month to month. In addition, there are currently 3 different date of last activity being reported : XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX. Equifax has been reporting this account as 120 days late for many months, while XXXX and XXXX report it as a collection/charge off. XXXX and XXXX are not even reporting the last payment date. This is negligent reporting on behalf of all parties involved. 

This is incredibly detrimental to my credit and is also a violation of the FCRA. I request that this account be removed from my credit report with all credit reporting agencies and that XXXX cease collection efforts and stop falsely reporting this account to my credit report immediately. I am attaching copies of my credit report showing how the payment information is being reported differently across each CRA as well as from one month to the next.

Complaint:
After repeated marketing offers to upgrade my American Express Green Card to a Platinum Card, I finally accepted though an online process. This was on or about XX/XX/2023. The Platinum card was approved and delivered to my home. I have attached a photo of the card. Since I was now going to use the upgraded card, I contacted American Express and instructed them to cancel my Business Green card and refund me the annual fee I had recently paid. I was told that I had exceeded the 30-day window to get a refund on the Green Card . I was now looking at a combined fee of {$790.00} for two American Express cards, I instructed the company to cancel the Platinum Card and reinstate the original Green Card. On or about XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX I contacted American Express again and asked them to reconsider charging me the full {$690.00} fee for the Platinum Card considering I had already paid {$95.00} for the Green Card. On this call, the customer service agent said they could offer me a {$50.00} courtesy credit or return me a {$79.00} prorated share of the cancelled Green card. ( I was told this was not possible in an earlier call. ) I gratefully accepted the prorated offer and instructed American Express to reinstate the previously issued Platinum Card. Unbeknownst to me, my credit score was now adversely affected because I had recently cancelled two credit cards. This result was not made clear to me by the company. American Express has denied reinstatement of the Platinum Card twice citing : " A serious delinquency on one or more of your accounts '', " The time since your latest reported delinquency is to recent or unknown '', " There are too few accounts currently paid as agreed '', " The ratio of loan balances and loan amounts is too high. '' ( letters attached ). I have closely examined my finances and have not found any delinquencies or accounts not " currently paid as agreed. '' In my opinion, this is a breakdown in American Express internal systems. I have been entrapped by a series of company procedures and computer algorithms that have deeply impacted my credit scores in a serious and harmful manner. I have had repeated contact with American Express. They have told me multiple times that they will not reinstate any of the cards and are unable or unwilling to correct any misconceptions with credit agencies. I have requested that American Express review my communications and acknowledge the systemic vulnerabilities that have devastated my credit score and besmirched my reputation. Their last stated position is " we are unable to reinstate your credit card. '' Please help me.

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

Complaint:
Recently sent disputes to XXXX, the most recent dispute was sent to XXXX  on XX/XX/XXXX for collections account with Portfolio Recovery for XXXX XXXX XXXX. Collection account should be permanently deleted. Original creditor ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) last date of delinquency was XX/XX/XXXX. Provided XXXX  with XXXX XXXX statement showing last date of payment as XX/XX/XXXX. Spoke to an XXXX  representative the week of XX/XX/XXXX, who stated XXXX  has my information showing the first date of delinquency as XX/XX/XXXX, BUT since Portfolio said the account was reported as accurate for the date of XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX  has to follow what the creditor states, regardless of the proof on file. 

This account has had its first date of delinquency changed three times from XX/XX/XXXX, to XX/XX/XXXX, to now XX/XX/XXXX, which is fraudulent activity, after I have disputed these inaccuracies showing last date of delinquency as actually XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX  and Portfolio Recovery refuse to report accurate information, which has created denials for credit applications submitted during this timeframe. 

Dispute History : XX/XX/XXXX, filed dispute for inaccurate information and asked for deletion-results received on XX/XX/XXXX from XXXXPortfolio Recovery had first date of delinquency as XX/XX/XXXX. 
XX/XX/XXXX, filed dispute for inaccurate information and asked for deletion-results received on XX/XX/XXXX from XXXXPortfolio Recovery changed first date of delinquency from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX. 
XX/XX/XXXX, filed dispute for inaccurate information and asked for deletion -results received on XX/XX/XXXX from XXXXPortfolio Recovery changed first date of delinquency again from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX, but reports date of last payment as XX/XX/XXXX, which is a discrepancy with the date of first delinquency. 

The Portfolio Recovery account does not have any payment history for XXXX, XXXX, nor XXXX, which is verified by statements. Portfolio Recovery can not provide proof of last payment nor first date of delinquency on this account because they have no payment information from the original creditor. Portfolio recovery keeps adjusting the date, re-aging the account, which is illegal and XXXX  supports this creditor in its illegal practices.
