Product: Credit card
Issue: Advertising and marketing

Complaint:
I applied to Citibank and XXXX XXXX for their Advantage Card. They promised XXXX miles and {$100.00} if I qualify. Well, my FICO score is XXXX or so, so that should n't be a problem, I figured. They did n't approve, did n't write back, did n't communicate. I asked them for a reason over my secured email for the accounts I have with them, but they failed to communicate and also what is there to communicate. They know me as their existing well paying customer.

Complaint:
DEFAMATION OF CHARACTER Numerous documents were sent into Experian for dispute. I received a letter from Experian stating that I did not send the letters on my own, but indeed I did. Here are my letters again. I have tried numerous times to fix these issues according to the FCRA act and have been unsuccessful due to numerous complaints being ignored. Instead of scanning with your eOscar system, due your due diligence and actually investigate the claims. 

I am doing my process and then I will be filing for arbitration and/or a federal law suit according to the terms and conditions in the agreement. 

I have documented numerous attempts of me trying to fix these issues and the illegal tactics that Experian has used, and all requests for investigations have been ignored. I am sending these letters again for proof of service and to make sure that you have received them. You are also being put on NOTICE through this medium for legal situations that may arise.

Complaint:
I am submitting a complaint today to inform the Credit Reporting Agencies about the damaging data they are reporting on my Credit File. After researching how to remove fraudulent items from my report, I discovered that I need to visit the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) or https : //www.ftc.gov to file a report. According to FCRA section 605b, the Credit Reporting Agencies are required to remove and block any accounts and information listed on an ID Theft Report. Upon recently receiving a copy of my credit report, I was shocked to find several accounts and inquiries that I did not open and have no knowledge of. I have attached relevant documents to assist in the blocking of this erroneous information from being posted on my report. The items in question are as follows : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$0.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$0.00} XXXX XXXX Balance : {$0.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$2900.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$0.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : - XXXX  XXXX XXXX Balance : - XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX  XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX. I can assure you that I did not open these accounts or authorize anyone else to do so on my behalf. I firmly believe that this is a case of fraudulent activity, and I am taking steps to report it to the authorities. According to FCRA Section 605B ( a ), the Credit Reporting Agencies must block any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information resulting from the fraud, not later than 4 business days after the date of receipt.

On XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted a request to block items on my consumer report as I am a victim of identity theft. This was not a dispute, however, the FCRA has chosen to forgo Federal regulation and apply their company policy to treat this as a dispute. In fact, when I called them, they stated that their policy supersedes Federal law ( which states ) ( a ) Block A consumer reporting agency should block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from an alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date receipt by such agency of- ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report, ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer, and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction bynthe consumer.

Complaint:
Hello This is a formal complaint that inaccurate credit information is being reported. I am very distressed that the information in my credit profile is damaging my good credit standing. As you are no doubt aware, credit reporting laws ensure that bureaus report only accurate credit information. No doubt the inclusion of this inaccurate information is a mistake on either your or the reporting creditor 's part. Because of the mistakes on my credit report, I have been wrongfully denied credit recently for a loan which was highly embarrassing and has negatively impacted my lifestyle. optional In accordance with 15 U.S. Code 1681b, 15 U.S. Code 1681c, and 15 U.S. Code 1681c2 along with the proof I'm attaching to this letter, I'm sure you'll agree it needs to be removed ASAP. The following information, therefore, needs to be verified and deleted from the report as soon as possible : XXXX PORTFOLIO RECOVERY {$560.00}

Complaint:
In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Everything has to be 100 % accurate on my credit report. The credit bureaus reported back to after my initial complaint back in XX/XX/2023 that my account was properly investigated and reported accurate, which is impossible because as of my most recent credit report XXXX XXXX account # XXXX The Amount that I owe is report inaccurately The Date opened are all reported inaccurately by XXXX XXXX XXXX , & Equifax XXXX 
The No. of months ( terms ) are reported inaccurately by XXXX, XXXX, & Equifax. 
The High Credit is reported inaccurately by XXXX, XXXX, & Equifax. 
The Last reported is reported inaccurately by XXXX, XXXX, & Equifax. 
The Date last active is reported inaccurately by XXXX, XXXX, & Equifax. 
The Date of last payment is reported inaccurately by XXXX, XXXX, & Equifax. 
Equifax reported OK on time payments from XXXX XXXX XXXX but XXXX reported XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX for Charge-off from XXXX XXXX XXXX 

I reported this to XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX in XXXX of XXXX  about the violation of 15 U.S.C 1681 section 602 ( A ), 15 U.S.C 1681 Section 604 ( A ) Section 2.

Ive already contacted XXXX XXXX  multiple times and they told me to contact the credit bureau as it is the credit bureau that has violated my rights as a consumer, these inaccurate reports did nothing but hurt me financially with my credit score and the business I have going on, I tried to rectify the issue over 90 days ago to have the information corrected and nothing was corrected but my address and a few other miscellaneous things on the report but nothing from this XXXX issue and over 90 days is unacceptable this is grounds for a lawsuit against the credit bureau Im making last effort to request the credit bureau now remove the account associated with my name as I have contacted to XXXX company and they said if the account is going to be removed it has to be done by the credit bureau because my credit report accuracy issue is with the credit bureau.
