Complaint sub-issue: Funds not handled or disbursed as instructed

I fell victim to a Crypto investing scam where I was purchasing BTC for a investor that seemed legit with promises of high returns. I was sent a website with a login and everything watching the funds rise. It was when it was time to withdraw that they kept asking for more fees where they eventually disappeared and stopped responded when I refused to send another dollar. My bank will not do anything for me on this when they were authorizing these transactions left and right. They should have never allowed transactions like this to go through when the receiver was suspicious. I am not protected in any way by this Federally Insured Institution. 

These various transactions dated between XX/XX/2021 and XX/XX/2021 totaling {$11000.00} plus {$130.00} International Fees due to these transactions. 

I have disputed all transactions with my bank and they denied them all. I spoke with several people at the Institution and they had be resubmit them and they were denied again. 

I have also reached out to all Crypto exchange companies where they also denied me any resolution. All transactions are included.

Complaint sub-issue: Public record

I 'm complaining against Equifax because of the following reason. Please see the docs that I 've attached which substantiate my claims : Equifax is reporting judgements against an XXXX on my personal credit file. 
" A business lien against the assets of an XXXX is recorded against the business credit report of the XXXX, not against the personal credit report of individual members. Ideally, the creditor should have no access to the Social Security numbers of members, and should use the EIN of the XXXX only for credit reporting purposes. If a business lien shows up on a member 's personal credit report, he has the right to request its removal. The asset and debt belong to the XXXX under established law, not the individual members. '' Equifax is reporting dates that do not exist such as XXXX Equifax is reporting balances when I 've provided proof that the balances should be {$0.00} Equifax has court names that do not exist such as " XXXX XXXX '' Equifax is the only credit bureau that has not removed these unlawful items from my credit report after disputing with them for 2 months straight.
Complaint sub-issue: Was not notified of investigation status or results

I sent a letter previously XXXX XX/XX/2021 XXXX, asking to reinvestigate the accounts being reported to my file but the bureaus never responded back. It has been over 60 days since then and I have not any response yet. I think I am being taken for granted, being taken advantage of and being ignored of my disputes.

Section 611 ( a ), it is plainly stated that a failure to investigate these items within 30days gives a reason to immediately remove those items from my credit report it has been over 60 days so they should be deleted promptly. 

I demand these accounts be deleted immediately or I will file for litigation due to the stress you caused me. My information was also impacted by the Equifax data breach and may have got into the hands of the wrong person.

Complaint sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

I obtained my credit report on line. There is a XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX item listed on my credit reports. Per the FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 5 ) : If the Credit Bureau can not VALIDATE the information with the ORIGINAL CREDITOR, they must remove said information from the consumer credit file. The County Recorder of Deeds and the Bankruptcy Courts have both informed emphatically that they do NOT provide any information to credit reporting agencies, nor do they ever validate and/or confirm public records. It is the credit reporting agencies, and/or other third-party providers who collect information regarding public cases from public records. Public records information is NEVER validated by the Recorder of Deeds nor the U. S. Court system due to the Fair Credit Reporting Agency PRIVACY LAW. Namely, for any public record to be included on a credit report, it has to satisfy the following criteria : The public record has to contain, at minimum, the consumer 's name, address, plus a Social Security number or date of birth. Those requirements are not included on the report thus this item must be removed immediately.

Complaint sub-issue: Don't agree with fees charged

I finished school in XXXX. My first complaint is aes customer service reps do not help the borrowers find the best repayment plan and they withold information. They are typically not even knowledgeable about loans and accounts and repayment. I have often received a cut and paste answer that never answered my questions. I started making payments in XXXX and was about {$31000.00} in debt. I was never told about the income based repayment plan and for the first 4 years I paid large payments and for less than a year I was on unemployment deferment. Then a co-worker told me about income based plan. So I applied and it was a process and I paid so far ahead I was in paid ahead status so I had to write a letter saying to remove the status. First off they say your loans " may be forgiven '' after XXXX years. I am furious my first XXXX years do n't count towards the XXXX even though I paid so much. When I start paying in XXXX I paid down my interest. I recently found out my loans accrue {$110.00} of interest a month and my {$100.00} payment obviously does n't touch the principal. I was told the payment would be disbursed to interest then each loan even if just a few dollars. I find out that I have {$2000.00} in outstanding interest and I do n't understand how. Also when I reported my interest for taxes in XXXX I paid {$1100.00} and in XXXX I reported {$770.00} so my income and payment was very close but how the XXXX did I pay so much more interest in XXXX? I have been paying loans for almost 6 years and I am steady {$30000.00} in debt. I paid off XXXX XXXX and a XXXX loan so that was like $ XXXX XXXX and I paid at least {$7000.00} to aes yet my balance only dropped to slightly below {$30000.00}? This is insane. Clearly there is an issue with income to debt ratio and something is n't right. I feel I am being taken advantage of. I know I borrowed the money but I regret it big time. I wish I never went to school. All I am saying is I had to figure the loans out on my own since I was XXXX with no guidance. I am XXXX and would like a fair shot to pay these loans off without the interest jumping every time I turn around or not being properly warned that the income based plan is the worst plan for someone and not helpful as advertised.
Complaint sub-issue: Attempted to collect wrong amount

In XX/XX/XXXX or XX/XX/XXXX I contacted XXXX my cell phone provider about a second line that I was being charged for that was no longer activated and had not been activated. And had not been activated for over 2 years. The rep put me on hold and spoke to a supervisor and put a credit of 200+ on my account for fees paid for that line. A couple weeks later I got a notice of a balance of 280+ dollars. My account had one line at that point and the bill should not have been more than 70 dollars. I called XX/XX/XXXX and was told the credit was reversed. I got irate and threatened to call an attorney I explained it is not legal to give a credit that was approved th en decide to change your mind and demanded the credit be re applied. After a long hold the credit was reapplied and I was told to pay XXXX. My bill cycle started on XX/XX/XXXX I left XXXX due to thi s type of under handed nonsense on XX/XX/XXXX. So I should have been billed for 11 days of service. XX/XX/XXXX I spoke to 2 reps at XXXX XXXX in customer service named XXXX who was able to verify that he sees where the credit was issued but could not adjust it because the account was no longer active. Active or not XXXX is trying to bill me for 85 to 95 dollars that I don't owe them and I will not pay until it is corrected

Complaint sub-issue: Problem during payment process

On or about XX/XX/XXXX I was advised by Citi ( bank? ) that my Diamond Preferred Citi Master Card ( # XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in my name , XXXX XXXX XXXX ) was in late pay status by several days, I believe four or five. I was asked if I wished to make the late payment at that time directly from my bank, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I replied absolutely in that I was unaware that they payment had not been made. I also authorized the that the next payment that would be coming due shortly be made. Each payment was in the approximate sum of {$220.00}. 
The routinely checking account on XX/XX/XXXX. I saw that Citi had actually withdrawn by a check that looked identical to my own but was not, the sum of {$5100.00}. I immediately called Citi and was advised that the circumstances would require an investigation by them that would require ten to fourteen business days even though the initial conversation had been recorded by them. Upon hearing that, I did the following on the same day : `1. Requested my bank to return the check which they did : 2. Made the late payment on line ; 3.Established an automatic payment system monthly in an amount in excess of the normal payment ; 4. Canceled the card. 
The following ( or second ) day thereafter I received a call from Citi advising that they had done an expedited investigation and determined that there had been a " computer glitch '' and that they had taken the funds in error. I advised what steps I had taken so that the money was in fact in my account. 
On the XX/XX/XXXX I discovered that they had redeposited the check for {$510000.00}. My bank advised that it was to late to take any corrective action in that the check had already cleared my account. 
I again called Citi bank and they advised that they would begin an expedited process to return the funds, this time two to three business days. As of XX/XX/XXXX, the funds had not been returned. I again called and was told that it would take ten to 14 days to " investigate '' and that the matter had been run through 5 different departments. I asked to speak to a more senior person who stated that  she would look into the matter and get it resolved. Essentially, the same thing I had been told a week previously. I was also told that this sort of the happens routinely at Citi. I was promised a call back and that Citi had placed a " hold '' on my funds, whatever that means.
To date, Citi has held my funds 13 days, collected interest on same, overdrawn my account twice, caused at least six or seven over drawn charges on my account of {$35.00} each and caused me to  spend at least four hours ( each call to them runs forty five minutes to an hour plus several calls to my own bank of twenty minutes or more ). 
It is also apparent that Citi does this routinely ( there statement ) and thereby defrauds untold amounts of money from their customers, quite likely involving tens of millions of dollars considering their vast size.
