Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint:
During the week ofXX/XX/XXXX, I reached a settlement on the two credit card accounts I have with USAA. OnXX/XX/XXXX, I paid off both credit card accounts with USAA for the settlement amounts, ending in XXXX for {$560.00} and XXXX for {$4400.00}. USAA has reflected the payments I made to the 3 credit  bureaus XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX, but refused to report the accounts paid in full and the remaining balance is posted as due and owing. I contacted USAA on multiple occasions and was told I would be receiving a fax, which never occurred. On the most recent call, I was told the fax would take 10 days from XX/XX/XXXX which is an unreasonable length of time ( over 21 days since payoff, if it is ever sent ). I have previously exhausted the dispute process with the credit bureaus and since no letter was provided by USAA I am unable to provide written proof of the settlement. Verbally, USAA acknowledges a settlement was reached and the account was paid. However, they refuse to simply put it in writing on a brief document and provide it to the consumer, and have not updated the accounts as settled with the three credit bureaus. They state it will take 2 or 3 MONTHS to report the settlement! I feel USAA is intentionally delaying since they have received their payments, and this is unfair to the consumer. I paid promptly upon settlement, USAA needs to demonstrate the settlement promptly in writing and with the three credit bureaus. I have attached a copy of my triple bureau credit report which reflects the USAA accounts that are incorrectly reported.

Complaint:
On XXXX XXXX, 2017 I contacted XXXX at XXXX. The Internal Recovery Department offered full settlement on both accounts for a total of {$1800.00}. I paid the account in full over the phone by checking debit ACH which succeeded. <P/>{$850.00} 60 % XXXX {$1000.00} 60 % XXXX ___________ {$1800.00} PAID X/XX/17 XXXX updated the accounts at Experian, XXXX, and XXXX by showing I made a payments for {$850.00} and {$1000.00} but did NOT show the account as paid in full. I have exhausted the dispute process with all 3 bureaus and XXXX has 'verified ' the accounts as accurate which is incorrect. <P/>I am hoping the CFPB can assist me in correcting the inaccurate and false reporting which violates the FCRA and hurts my score. I settled these accounts with the bank and it is only fair they are accurately reported to the three bureaus. <P/>I have attached a copy of my credit report for the three bureaus as well as the particular accounts for Experian as samples.

Complaint:
I am very concerned about the validity and accuracy of the recent investigation done by Equifax. I requested for an investigation because the accounts have nothing to do with me. I am a victim of identity theft and the accounts are not my responsibility. Equifax failed to give me the result of their investigation. I assume they were unable to verify it. The error has affected my credit score tremendously. CFPB please step up and delete it ASAP as this is very exhausting. Nobody wants to grant me a loan because of these accounts : XXXX XXXX XXXX/XXXX  XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX/XXXX   XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX/XXXX   XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX/XXXX   XXXX

Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX, DE. XXXX Dear XXXX XXXX : I am very distressed that you have included information in my credit profile due to its damaging effects on my good credit standing with on time payments. As you are 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 yours or the reporting creditors part. It shows on my credit reports from all three credit bureaus that I have delinquent payments from XXXX XXXX XXXX. This is simply not true because I had to speak to a representative every month about my payments and everyone kept giving me the run around and different answers to cause this to happen. Although I did make payments each of these months, the three billing cycles that may cause this confusion are XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX. I was told by a representative over at Customer Service that you guys did not receive my school deferment information until XX/XX/2020, in which, I started my XXXX semester XX/XX/2020. Every month when I spoke to a representative not everyone was on the same page, which caused this confusion. I am very on top of things when it comes to making payments on time and would like this to be taken care of immediately. 


Please be so kind as to forward me documentation that you have had the inquiry about delinquent payments removed.

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

Complaint:
I spoke with a representative of XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, Florida. XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX. Regarding a collection account with XXXX XXXX. In speaking with this company, I argued that the collection about information on my report is incorrect and that I would consider making a formal dispute with the credit reporting agencies and contact XXXX XXXX to resolve the problem. The next think I noticed on my credit report a few weeks later is there that I incurred this debt on XXXX XXXX, 2017. I have had no financial transactions with XXXX XXXX XXXX. Nor, have I made any type of formal dispute with them directly. Had I done so, I would have done so in writing. They continue to cause me financial stress and aggravation due to their improper reporting. <P/>I am not disputing that I was indeed terminated business dealings with XXXX XXXX over 5 years ago. In the State of Arkansas, all attempts to collect on this debt have long past the Statute of Limitations of 2 years for this type of account I have not yet disputed this account with the 3 major credit reporting agencies and as of yet, this information continues to appear on my credit report. <P/>There is also inaccurate reporting of the debt owed with an original debt of {$240.00} and an amount owed of {$240.00}. This would assume that somewhere, somehow, I made a {$1.00} payment towards this account thereby giving cause to this unscrupulous, to make changes in the reporting dates in an effort to coerce me into making restitution on a fraudulently reported account.

Issue: Fees or interest
Sub-issue: Problem with fees

Complaint:
I opened my CITI secured card in XX/XX/XXXX. By XX/XX/XXXX, my secured card was closed and my e statements were restricted shortly after that. In XX/XX/XXXX, on numerous occasions I called in to inquire about my Citi bank credit card. The debt is listed on my credit report as failed to pay. Citi bank has horrible customer service representatives that are not thorough when review information or providing the facts that I requested. I paid a security deposit to my account so when my account was closed the amount owed was XXXX. I was charged fees that were not valid and Citi has refused to address my concerns for the past year. In XX/XX/XXXX, I formally filed a dispute via mail and receive a generic response stating that Citi was favored in the dispute process which is overtly biased based on their internal team review the account. I never got information that I requested about contacting the credit management department or any other department beside their recovery team who have been little to no help. Their ways of handling consumers and their monies are erroneous. It's a power struggle working with a big company that has created a maze of tunnels so that consumers are frustrated befor their concerns are met with solutions. In summary, I do not owe any amount over the balance after my account was credited. I would like to have a manager from the credit department contact me about this matter. Also, I would like to be provided a letter with the date of closure and reason why the account was closed in the first place.

Sub-issue: Transaction was not authorized

Complaint:
I lost my debit card, the day before I was supposed to get paid along with my phone. My cell phone does not have a passcode and I have all my password saved on it. I was. I was given an old phone from a friend and was able to restart my phone. I opened all my apps and bank account to find out I was charged {$1000.00} by XXXX in unauthorized payments the day of XX/XX/2021, I called Bank of America and reported the issue as soon as I could. I was told the charges may not post since I reported this and would receive a credit back within two business days. I waited until Monday when the charges posted. Tuesday I checked my account and I still did not have a credit posted and I had two important payments coming out the next day which put my account in a negative status. A week later my claim was denying. I called once again and I found out the claim was denying because it was filed as my debit card was in my possession. The person told me that he would file a complaint and would resubmit my case once again. Once a again a few days later my claim was denied, they believe the transactions were made by me. Furious I called once again and I was told to contact XXXX. I contacted them through phone and email and got confirmation from them that they believed the charges to be fraud and to go ahea and call my bank and file a claim. I got this in writing from the company and went into a Bank of America branch and had it faxed on XX/XX/XXXX. I called on XX/XX/XXXX to find out the status of my claim to once again receive the horrible news that my claim was denied. They claim that the charges were made with the knowledge that there would be a deposit made to that account on that update and they knew how much to spend. I was told to file a police report at this point. I quickly called the police department and filed a repost on XX/XX/XXXX. I am now waiting for their response once again on the claim. I am so frustrated and really need to recover my funds. It is a large amount of money and the two bills Still need to be paid. I dont know how to proceed at this point if they deny my claim or what I should be doing to prevent this. Any help would be welcomed. I have never had such horrible customer service from a bank.
