Good evening XXXX.XXXX, I understand your position, I have made payments to the citi prestige card ending in XXXX. 
I recently sent over documentation other than the stop payment order I issued on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. When I noticed that the payment was not received by citibank issued the stop payment to protect my account information I attempted to contact you via telephone yesterday and today both attempts were unsuccessful.I have attached via email and fax canceled checks indicating I paid double the minimum amount due for the prestige account I thought that by paying the current month and following month would keep the account current.I was not aware the account had gone past due I never received any contact from Citibank regarding any of my accounts when you stated my citi simplicity card ending in XXXX was past due I immediately made payment on the account. In addition, i would like to add that if I had received a statement indicating the balance and the amount owed for the citi simplicity card ending in XXXX. I would have made payment on time I have impeccable credit as you may have known to qualify for the citi prestige card you must have excellent credit. To my knowledge, Citibank had failed to inform by mail or telephone about my account status I have been with Citi for over 20 years XXXX.XXXX only when you informed me that my account ending in XXXX was past due was the only information that was sent to me stating the past due status.I will contact using the telephone you provided to give you more information to receive a better resolution than before. I am very thankful for your help in this situation. Hopefully, with the new information, i have provided will overturn your initial decision.

Hi the only name I go by is XXXX XXXX. My address is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Pa, XXXX. This issue has been reoccurring since last XXXX with the 3 credit bureaus.

After the 3rd letter around XX/XX/XXXX I asked them to delete the accounts and the addresses that didn't belong to me and they ignored me. I know I'm not a professional company but I feel as thought they're being rude and not honoring my rights as a consumer.

Complaint sub-issue: Public record information inaccurate

I have disputed a bankruptcy inaccuracy several times via certified mail and online dispute to the credit bureaus. The company has received my dispute each time. Upon receipt my request was to verify the information and once verified inform me of the source. The bankruptcy was verified through XXXX XXXX who stated they verified it through the courts. That is false information because the creditor in this case is the bankruptcy court who does not verify anything. They sent me a notarized letter stating this. XXXX XXXX is a 3rd party vendor and that was against FCRA. I have reached out several times with supporting documentation to have it deleted as this is false information they are reporting.
Complaint sub-issue: No notice of investigation status/result

Equifax , XXXX and XXXX are not honoring FCRA 605B requests to block entries by Identity Theft. Instead they are opening an " investigation '' with the furnishers ( a dispute ). FCRA 605B requires the CRA to block the entries within 4 business days. The CRA is not to open an investigation or dispute with the data furnishers. This is a block and the action is limited to blocking the entries. There are XXXX items required for the request : 1. Identification of consumer. 2. ID Theft affidavit. 3. Statement that these entries are the result of ID Theft. 
When refusing the block they send out a generic letter - there are only XXXX reasons they can refuse the block : 1. Request made in error. 2. Materially misstated the facts. 3. The consumer received goods or services. They are required to provide a specific detail on why a refusal to block is made ( which they are not doing ). How could they investigate any XXXX of these XXXX items within 4 days or have the ability to gain evidence to support a refusal? So, they are refusing as a matter of policy - which they do not have legal authority to do. 

The CRA 's are also requiring a police report before taking action which is NOT required in the law.

Complaint sub-issue: Problem during payment process

This pertains to my Valley National Bank Visa credit card. 
On XX/XX/2020, I paid my bill, in full, through their electronic portal ( the amount of the payment was {$5400.00} ). On XX/XX/2020, a second amount was taken from my checking account in the amount of {$5400.00}. I did not approve the second amount and asked them to return it to my account immediately. 
As of today, XX/XX/2020, they have not refunded my money despite almost daily calls to their representatives ( including their fraud department ). The excuses and rationales have varied from person-to-person, but I have gotten assurance that it is " on it's way ''. I no longer want to wait for my money : They have drained my account and caused by an overdraw to my checking account. I have bills due at the end of the month that will require the money to be returned. 
here is a link to their website : https : //www.valley.com/customer-service
Complaint sub-issue: Didn't receive terms that were advertised

On XX/XX/22, I signed up for a bank account with Albert. I clicked through my friend 's referral link, stating we would both earn {$150.00} after : -Receiving a qualifying Direct Deposit of {$200.00} or more every 30 days for 90 consecutive days.

-Spending at least {$100.00} or more on the debit card every 30 days for 90 consecutive days The attached " AlbertXXXX XXXX  shows the requirements for receiving the bonus. 
The attached " AlbertXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX '' shows the terms & conditions, governing qualifying debit card spend and direct deposits. 
The attached " Albert_XXXXXXXX '', '' AlbertXXXXXXXX '' shows that I've met these requirements within the terms & conditions. 


I reached out on XX/XX/22 about not receiving the bonus, and received a canned response, shown in " AlbertXXXXXXXX XXXX', '' Albert_XXXX  '', '' AlbertXXXX  '' Despite all of this I'm receiving an apathy toward researching the matter. I'm hoping by filing this complaint, that the issue can be taken seriously, and that my friend and I can receive our bonuses.

Complaint sub-issue: Threatened to sue you for very old debt

We opened an account with the company in  XXXX . After a few years of using the credit card we destroyed the card and no longer used it. The amount charged on this card was approximately {$6500.00}. We paid on this card for almost thirty years and as of today, they are still saying we owe them money. I do not see how this could be possible. I later received a notice from them about this ( sometime in  XXXX  ) and agreed to pay  XXXX  per month ( with all to be applied to principal ), which we did. In  XXXX , I received my last statement from them and assumed the debt had been paid in full. Much to my surprise in  XXXX , they had turned the account over to an attorney for collection. Each month they would add on a fee for about {$45.00} or {$50.00} for some type of insurance. We did not agree to this being added to the account and they were told to remove this from the account. Bottom line is they say we owe them a substantial amount of money that we do not agree with as there have been no transactions whatsoever on this account in years.

I am trying to get a mortgage for a house and the lender went to pull my credit. XXXX and XXXX both came back with good scores as a result of the XXXX credit cards I have ( XXXX and XXXX ). However, Equifax would not give me a report saying I have no file. I spent three weeks and many hours on the phone with them to resolve this issue. They tell me that the only way for it to be fixed is for me to update my file by having one of my credit cards report to them. Upon checking with both cards, they both do in fact report to Equifax ever month and even sent an off cycle report. According to Equifax none of these reports have been received and they are unwilling to fix whatever it is that is causing them to lose them or not get them entered into their system. I need them to find these reports that are being sent to them and update my credit report. Any help is much apprecitated.
