Complaint:
You have listed incorrect accounts that should not be reflecting on my credit report at all. Not only is this really unfair for me, but also very troublesome, as I have never committed or made any of the things you're claiming I did. Investigate these accounts or I will see to it that I will pursue legal actions.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: NY
Product: Credit card
Issue: Transaction issue

Complaint:
On XXXX XXXX, 2016, I logged onto CitiCards.com to pay XXXX bills associated with XXXX credit card accounts I hold with them, as I do each month. Due to my financial circumstances, I can only afford to pay the minimum payment on each card right now. I paid the minimum payment amount on each card like I 've been doing for years. No missed or late payments EVER. These funds usually get deducted from my checking account. I go to use my checking account debit card today XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to buy groceries and it 's declined. I check my checking account to see that a total of {$14000.00} has been deducted from CitiCards to pay off the remaining balances on my cards. I assumed this was due to an error with their online payment system, because I did not authorize them to do this. I called CitiCards, and all they could tell me was, " Sorry, there 's nothing we can do, the transaction is in place, call your bank. '' I 'm sorry, but as a customer for several years, with no late payments or other issues with previous transactions, I do n't think this an acceptable way for a credit card company to act to a customer who just had several thousand dollars incorrectly deducted from their checking account. They did NOTHING to try to resolve my situation as I was hysterically crying on the phone. We are about to be hit with a blizzard in my state, and now I have no money. Basically they just said it was an issue between me and the bank that I hold my checking account with. I do n't believe there is nothing they could have done to stop this transaction. As a major financial institution with billions of dollars, I doubt fixing my error would be a huge sacrifice for them. They need to accept responsibility for their operations. Disgusting.

Issue: Billing statement

Complaint:
I have been actively trying to rebuild my credit for the past 3 years and now my credit is shot. This is a CitiBank Credit Card via The Home Depot. I was making monthly payments of {$130.00} on a balance of {$10000.00}. On my XXXX/XXXX/2015 XXXX, {$6100.00} interest was suddenly added to my balance for a total of {$16000.00} and a minimum payment of {$700.00}. The added interest charge surge has put this account {$5400.00} over my credit limit and I can not possibly afford the new higher payment. As a result of the high over limit amount and late payment status, my credit score has dropped from XXXX to XXXX.

Complaint:
Equifax ; XXXX  and XXXX  are reporting incorrectly that I am ( 30 ) days late on the XXXX partial account number XXXX. ( Please see page attached from my credit report. ) Equifax is reporting a current balance of {$260.00}. This account should report a {$0.00} balance and {$0.00} past due. There is no outstanding balance due. Please keep in mind it would be impossible to be late on an account that has a {$0.00} balance. This false reporting of lates is seriously harming my credit score and this line item needs to be removed and/or updated to report accurate information. It is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act to no report accurate information on a credit report. I have contacted the bureaus to fix this however, I have not been successful.

Complaint:
My daughter received a call on Monday XX/XX/2020 @ XXXX XXXX  from someone pretending to be an officer of the court stating that someone would come to my home to provide me with legal papers and they were hired by a company. They provided me with number for me to call and gather more information. The number provided to me is Sunrise Credit Services, so it was fact an employee of this company breaking the law when calling me. I am aware that this is a scam that debt collections agencies use in intimidating debtors or those they believe has a debt. This is clearly a violation of the FDCPA. The person who called clearly used a number that is not traceable. That number is XXXX and of course she refused to provide her name. I Have advised them once before to cease and desist and therefore they are using a another method to harass me. I have not received any correspondence from this company stating I owe any debt.

I'm a QMB [ Qualified Medicare Beneficiary ]. Under federal law, a Medicare provider can not collect my Medicare premiums, deductibles, coinsurance, or copayments. This is true whether it's Original Medicare or a Medicare Advantage plan. I'm in a low-income situation for Medicare. So there apparently is some confusion about how billing is supposed to work. I'm not supposed to be billed by providers under this program. So, I've consistently received bills and was confused as to why. So I reached out to Medicare and they pointed me here to get assistance. I have various dates and collection companies seeking to settle accounts that I shouldn't have been billed for.
