Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: VA
Product: Credit card
Issue: Credit card protection / Debt protection

Complaint:
I purchased a high definition television that cost {$1700.00} from Best Buy in XXXX. In an effort to build credit ( since I usually make all purchases in cash ), I opened a Best Buy Credit Card. I bought it on a promotion that gave me no interest as long as the tv was paid by XX/XX/XXXX. I made all monthly payments in excess of the minimum pmt due. Unbeknownst to me, there was a debt protection program added on that added an additional $ XXXX- {$25.00} to my bill every month which made it impossible to pay off the balance. Due to my work schedule ( XXXX ), I never looked at the bill. I always drove to Best Buy when I arrived home and paid {$100.00} on my account. It was not until after XX/XX/XXXX that I received a bill saying I owed about {$4000.00} for the tv because of deferred interest. I requested all of my bills, which Best Buy could not provide because the account was taken over By Citi from the originating creditor, XXXX, so they provided as far back as they could. It was at that time, by looking at my statements, that I discovered the debt protection program was being charged monthly. I continued to pay until this past XXXX ( XXXX ). Debt Protection has been canceled and they promised a refund of {$1400.00}. Best Buy advised us on a call they would apply the refund to the promotion and that I would get what I overpaid back. In a later call, Best Buy then advised that the monies would not be applied to the promotion but to the account balance. We requested for them to pull the call and have a manager call us back and they never did. When we called back to speak with them, they never notated it on the account. At one point, we were offered a settlement, which we refused initially to get the debt protection issue resolved. Today we called to settle to get the account closed out once and for all and we were told that no settlement was available. When we asked why, we were told there was no specific reason, only that no settlement was available. To date I have paid {$1400.00} in the debt protection program and for the last 6 months I have paid {$1000.00}. Citi was unable to provide with the total payments made since the account opened on XX/XX/XXXX. I have been advised that I need to write in to get a copy of the statements from the inception of the account, which I will request today.

Company: TOYOTA MOTOR CREDIT CORPORATION
State: CA
Product: Consumer Loan
Sub-product: Vehicle loan
Issue: Managing the loan or lease

Complaint:
I experienced identity theft and notified XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX and Toyota. They have reported to the credit reporting services that upon investigation, they had decided that I was in serious delinquency even though they knew about the identity theft. After notifying them of the theft, the thief was able to open a credit card at XXXX XXXX under my name and rack up additional debt. I immediately informed them that I did not open this card and had they looked at my account, they would 've been able to identify the continued identity theft. Instead, they took more than {$6000.00} out of my checking account to pay the balance on this fraudulent credit card. And now XXXX XXXX is claiming, I owe them {$3800.00} which is destroying my credit. They also never repaid a penny of the theft which was laundered through my bank account. They only saw the problem when I went into the branch to make an inquiry about my account. XXXX XXXX claimed it was my problem. XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX claimed I owed an amount that was also part of the identity theft. I provided them with XXXX police reports about the identity theft and a notarized FTC proclamation about the theft. This too continues to destroy my credit. I 've employed many credit repair service to no avail. In fact, they take the debts off my credit report and then put them back on. And Toyota was paid in full and apparently that payment went to a different payment address and it took Toyota three months to get the payment credited to my account. They have put this on my credit report as late payments. XXXX Bank Line of Credit put late payments as " seriously delinquent '' even though I was in a modification of the loan which XXXX XXXX said I did not have to pay until the modification was complete. During the modification progress, XXXX XXXX continued to ask for more and more paperwork which I did provide but nothing happened with the modification until I got a refinance loan and paid them off. No matter what I do, I can not get my credit score to what it was prior to the identity theft.

State: KS
Product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on credit report
Sub-issue: Information is not mine

Complaint:
A collection has shown up on my XXXX and equifax that is from XXXX, a company in kansas that provides electricity for homes and business. This collection is not for me, it is for my ex-fiances home. I was living with her from around XX/XX/XXXX until XX/XX/XXXX, and there were certain months that i would pay her bills buy putting them on my debit card if she was having money issues and also i was using the electricity also. The account was in her name, but since i had paid it majority of the months using my card, when she allegedly defaulted after we had split up and they could not get money from her they attached a collection to my credit reports. I have tried unsuccessfully to reason with the original creditor and the credit reporting agencies. The ironic part is i have westar energy at my home now, If i actually owed them any money, why would they have gone and given me another account years ago. This collection has hurt my overall credit profile with regards to obtaining preferable financing on homes and business loans, and on more occasions than i can remember cost me from obtaining new lines of credit with banks. My desired resolution to this issue is for XXXX and equifax to remove this innacurate collection from my accounts.

Their is also a tax lien from XXXX for XXXX paid marked paid as of XX/XX/XXXX. So I attempted to dispute these items XXXX no problem 1 XXXX already removed no tax lien. As i filled out Equifax information it stated items were inaccurate, it took me to another screen. I filled out this long information on the 3 items to dispute and sent off. Well no email not dispute # created notta. I called to actually speak with a representative, again you jump through hoops to get a actual rep. Then we go through vital verification info name, address, ss #, DOB, then security question of recent inquirer 's so one of the institutions I attempted to get a car loan at put in the wrong DOB for me, and now I have to jump through hoops to verify I was born!
