Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone

Complaint:
I was notified that my personal information may have been included in a data breach so I signed up for credit monitoring and noticed some personal information that was not mine, wrong spelling of my name and an address that wasn't mine. I disputed this with Experian where i noticed the misinformation and they responded saying they didn't think it was me even though I sent them my ID, social and a utility bill with my name and address on it. So I responded back letting them know it was in fact me and provided all of the information again, my ID, social security card and utility bill and again they responded with the same thing that they don't believe it is me requesting my credit report be updated. So I went on the internet and did some research and found out that Experian does this as a stall tactic hoping consumers won't dispute the information on the credit report. I'm worried that my personal information is included in a data breach and criminals are using this misinformation to create accounts in my name and Experian is allowing the criminals to do this by refusing to remove this misinformation or even investigate it. In my research that i got from the CFPB website it says they are required by law to investigate and remove inaccurate information!

Complaint:
Despite of the multiple previous written requests, the the inaccurate items still remain on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. The Credit Bureaus failed to comply with air Credit Reporting Act, within the time set forth by law and continued reporting of unverified information. I have been patiently waiting on their response about the written requests I sent. However, any modes of response or coordination were not taken on their end. They have not complied with the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Sections 605b within the time allowed by law and continued reporting as unverified information which now, given all my attempts to address it directly with the creditor, as willful negligence and non-compliance with federal statutes.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: TN
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Trouble using your card
Sub-issue: Can't use card to make purchases

Complaint:
As a longstanding Citibank client, I'm deeply disappointed with my experience. While on vacation in California, my card was declined during a purchase. I called customer service, disputed the charge successfully, and went through identity verification. However, the next day, the card declined again and again, four days in a row. 
During my most recent interaction to solve this, I was asked irrelevant questions about additional accounts, including an account number I couldn't recall. I am on vacation and it is difficult to retrieve random documents unrelated to the issue at hand. Despite providing the necessary verification information, the representative declined it all and disregarded me, instructing me to visit a branch for information retrieval. He took my phone number and promised he would call me back. After a half-hour trip to the branch, I discovered it was closed, and my card was already retained with a letter dispatched to my mailing address. He did not call or tell me that all branches were closed for XXXX, even though he knew. This abuse of authority was unacceptable. 
When requesting to speak with a supervisor, I encountered dismissiveness, confrontational behavior, and arrogance. Despite my attempt to clarify the actions of the previous representative, she aggressively disregarded me and instructed me to get the letter, even though I can not retrieve it. Although I provided accurate responses to all verification inquiries, the representative declined to offer assistance and terminated the call. 
Subsequent attempts to contact Citibank resulted in the phone being hung up in my face, as if trying to humiliate me. The disregard for customer concerns and the air of superiority displayed by Citibank 's representatives are unbelievable and disgusting. It's disheartening to witness such a negative reputation and a lack of empathy from a renowned institution.This is the promise of Citibanks customer service- do not help your customers, no matter what.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Was not notified of investigation status or results

Complaint:
Credit reporting agency failed to conduct a proper reinvestigation of disputed information on consumer file per the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

15 U.S.C. section 1681i section 611. states that reinvestigation is required to be conducted if a consumer disputes any inaccurate, incomplete or unverified item of information contained in a consumer 's file. The law also lays out proper procedures on how to treat said inaccurate, incomplete or unverified information ( Paragraph 5, Subparagraph A ) and also requires the credit reporting agency to provide notice of results of reinvestigation ( Paragraph 6 ). 

A dispute was submitted on XX/XX/2022 to XXXX, Equifax and XXXX and they have yet to provide an adequate notice of results of reinvestigation as it is laid out in The Fair Credit Reporting Act.

State: FL
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Other debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint:
Someone with the same name as me, the same date of birth, who failed to pay the balance of their account and failed to return the equipment to XXXX ( XXXX XXXX ). 

This is the second time XXXX  has misreported a collections account as me. A few years ago I saw an account show up on my credit report as in collections. I disputed the account with XXXX, and within a few weeks it was removed. This time when I disputed this new account in collections, XXXX said that they confirmed it was my account, so I contacted the collections company I.C. SYSTEM INC. on XX/XX/XXXX to gather all the information I could on the account and see how this could be resolved. I spoke with a XXXX ID # XXXX who confirmed that the only information that matched mine was my name XXXX XXXX, and my date of birth, XX/XX/XXXX. The service address, phone number, email, is different. XXXX told me to contact XXXX and submit a fraud case. 

I contacted XXXX, opened a fraud case ( XXXX fraud case # XXXX ). The agent I spoke with confirmed that the social security number on the service account the collections account is regarding does not match my social security number, so I disputed the collections account with XXXX again, uploaded scanned copies of my driver 's license, social security card, and passport. XXXX closed the dispute on XX/XX/XXXX with the findings that I.C. SYSTEM INC. confirmed the collections account is me. So when I saw this today ( XX/XX/XXXX ) I called I.C. SYSTEM INCXXXX at XXXX XXXX  EST to ask how they are confirming the account belongs to me. The person I spoke with said that when XXXX investigates the dispute, they just confirmed the information that they have, which in this case, is just the name XXXX XXXX and the date of birth XX/XX/XXXX. I.C. SYSTEM INC. said they do not have this person 's middle name and they do not have this person 's social security number. 

XXXX  is asking me to file a police report claiming identity fraud, but I do not believe this other XXXX XXXX used my identity to open an account, I think XXXX  ( XXXX XXXX ) is improperly reporting the information to their hired collections company I.C. SYSTEM INC. 

I have an active service account with XXXX and I believe they're misreporting that information. 

It is extremely frustrating that this is the second time XXXX has done this, docking my credit score, taking up a lot of my personal time, and causing me undue stress.
