Complaint sub-issue: Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement

I purchased a XXXX dishwasher from BestBuy on XX/XX/2019 for delivery on XX/XX/2019. I opened a BestBuy / Citibank credit card at the time at the XXXX XXXX, XXXX, NY BestBuy store. The saleswomen suggested I purchase a deluxe installation kit ( {$29.00} + {$2.00} tax ) and a haul-away service ( {$19.00} ). I agreed to these additions. The dishwasher was delivered as agreed to, but the delivery did not include the installation kit and the delivery men refused to haul away the old dishwasher. I signed a delivery logbook the delivery man presented, noting that the delivery men refused to haul away the old dishwasher. This book contained multiple entries, I assume for other deliveries. The old dishwasher sat in my dining room for a week until my nephew and I carried it out for pickup by XXXX curbside recycling program on XX/XX/2019. I have affidavits attesting to this. The installation kit was not delivered, but not necessary since I was able to use the existing copper lines. I raised the complaint with BestBuy on XX/XX/2019, on BestBuy 's XXXX page -- their recommended method. I received an automated response but nothing else. I have a printout of this. I paid for the dishwasher in full, {$480.00}, when due. I disputed the {$52.00} charge for unfulfilled goods and services, in XX/XX/2019 with Citibank. Citibank rejected my dispute presenting a number of documents including a BestBuy / XXXX XXXX acceptance form with a forged signature. I never saw such a document, nor does the signature in any way resemble mine. I wrote Citibank dispute center on XX/XX/2019 by US mail and again on XX/XX/2019. Neither of these letters was responded to. In a conversation on XX/XX/2019 with a woman identifying herself as XXXX at the Tennessee Citibank dispute call center, I found out that the first letter was on file but never responded to. I got a call from XXXXon XX/XX/2019, that lasted 42 minutes. It resulted in the late charges being removed and I thought in the dispute being resolved, but the dispute remains! And late charges have again been applied. Subsequently, Citibank has reported my account delinquent. This is the first time in over 39 years of credit history I have ever had a credit card claim me delinquent. My FICO  score was above 800 last summer and has now plummeted to a low of XXXX! Obviously, Citibank has caused me harm. If I were to apply for a car loan, I would be charged a much higher rate. If Citibank even bothered to check, it would discover that my other two cards with Citibank -- LL Bean and Costco -- are always paid in full on time, as are all my credit cards.

Complaint sub-issue: Problem getting a working replacement card

I had an issue with fraud on my account that took months to deal with and was finally resolved with cfpb, but there is still one more issue. My card kept having late fees and a late balance, but I was not paying them and was told not to since the whole balance on my card was fraud. One agent did not even report the fraud, which is why these late fees were still appearing. Discover claims they notified me that the account was closing, but I never received any documentation due to my mail being compromised. All I would like is for my account to be reopened and sent a new card. I would be willing to open a XXXX XXXXXXXX or have the card sent with some type of signature mailing so I am sure the card will get delivered. I have an excellent payment history with this account and have been using it appropriately before the fraud appeared. I should not be held liable for someone elses actions, so I would like my account reopened with the same credit limit. There is no reason for this due to the whole issue being fraud and Discover failed to provide me with information regarding my account and providing terrible customer service. Also, I was nagged repeatedly to pay a minimum payment of {$35.00} on the account or else my card would be charged off and the agent promised me my account would remain open if I paid this payment and I would be refunded once the investigation was complete. The investigation is now complete and I am not liable for any charges, but my account is closed and I was never refunded the {$35.00}. I dont want to have my credit affected for something that was not my fault and I truly enjoyed being a Discover customer and I loved my card.

Complaint sub-issue: Public record

When I was based in XXXX XXXX, as a XXXX the agency that prepared my taxes did them wrong. They filed me as XXXX State resident when they were supposed to file me as a XXXX State resident because I was a resident of XXXX, under United State military XXXX status based in XXXX. As a result of the eras that were made on my state taxes it looked like I owed the state of XXXX {$2400.00} in taxes, penalties, interest, and collection fees. I did the necessary paperwork to fix the issues and got the state tax lien released XX/XX/2012 while I was still in the United States XXXX. The problem I 'm having is the lien is still showing up on my credit reports which is very damaging to my credit scores. I am now a United States XXXX XXXX veteran father with a family of XXXX trying to buy my first home. Could you please help me by removing the lien from my credit report or let me know what I need to do to have it done. I have a copy of the lien release if it is needed.

Complaint sub-issue: Having problems with customer service

In XXXX I attempted multiple times to make a payment on my student loans in order to pay off the interest before the grace period came to an end and the interest would be capitalized. I had many problems making the payments and would receive notification that my transaction would be completed within 2 buisiness days. 3 or more days later, without any notification, that the transaction had been cancelled. It had even disappeared from my Nelnet website accounts history. I attmeped to make the payment again, as this is a time senstive subject matter, as well as sent an email asking for help in Nelnets online cutomer service. The transaction was once again cancelled with no notification and deleted from my history, no email, nothing. After waiting two weeks, more than the alloted time that was said that they would respond to me ( 2-5 business days ), I still received no response from Nelnet. I logged into my account and attemped the payment again and sent another email via their customer service link, while logged into my account ( in this case I am clearly identifiable ) and the same events took place. No returned emails, no contact whatsover, and a mysteriously cancelled payment that once again did not appear on their website. This is extremely deceptive as it is in Nelnets favor to ignore my attempted payments, as they could charge a fee for a late payment or in my case they could have benefited from captalized interest. Thankfully after many days and numerous attempts I was able to make a successful payment before the end of my grace period but I am still extremely concerned as it has now been 3 months and I have not received any type of response from Nelnet. I know that my email address is correct on my account as I still receive automated emails from Nelnet about my statements but this is an urgent issue that could cost me and others money from deceptive tactics, especially young adults like myself who are just starting out in terms of banking and money.

Dear Sir or Madam : I am writing this letter to request the deletion of inaccurate information I have discovered on my credit report. 

The reference listed under XXXX XXXX transferred to, XXXX XXXX account is inaccurate, and based on CFPB findings this is due to fraud and identity theft as the full outstanding amount was paid to the collection agency. Since this fraud account was paid by me months ago, I request that the account be deleted because it is hindering my life and it negatively impacting me. 

Enclosed you will find a CFPB letter after they researched my complaint and found that it was indeed a fraud, including the amount paid to the collection agency that we agreed to settle and statements proving that I successfully made payment.

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

To whom it may concern, My name is XXXX XXXX, and I'm the proud owner of a XXXX owned business, with our primary focus is consumer credit reporting. 

For the past 30 year I have lent my talents to nineteen of corporate Americas tops in their areas of expertise. I come to the table versed in areas most consumers would never, so I hope my concern as all concerns receive a watchful eye. 

Our consumer right regarding credit reporting is being abused at will and algorithms should shoulder most of the blame. 

The following companies are the ones who must receive this correspondence and must address all the below question with a proper human response and allow for proper follow up and the follow exchange. I will no longer accept automated responses, and neither should you. 

Equifax XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Keet it Brief, Got it! 

The contractual agreement or arrangement between the lenders and creditors is not being upheld by the lenders. Area specific, reporting and posting. 

Willingly or unwillingly, the lenders and credit reporting agencies have withheld accurate reporting. Area specific, true value of loss regarding charge off, profit and loss reporting. 

The lenders and credit reporting agencies are using high tech tools to circumvent consumer protection laws and acts on a federal, state, and local level. Area specific, e-Oscar. 

The overseeing body, which is entrusted to enforce our consumer protections, has appeared to have lost the will to enforce a proper human response and adequate time for follow up. Area specific, CFPB. 

As a proud XXXX XXXX XXXX veteran of the XXXX XXXX, I swear an oath to protect this country from all enemies, foreign and domestic. My military training and skill have served me well in the private sector assessing danger on all fronts. 

Like our green berets and special forces, I too take my services profoundly serious. 

It's about the will to want, versus the will to say I can't. 

In closing, As a consumer I have rights. 
As a citizen I have rights. 
I equally understand if I don't exercise our right, industry will abuse our right and have us believing our rights don't exist. 

It ' time to change the narrative and ask the question no one is asking. Like, how do you serve XXXX masters credit reporting agencies? 

Thank you for your time.

Complaint sub-issue: Other problem getting your report or credit score

I have been actively monitoring my credit through  XXXX   XXXX . In the middle of  XXXX ,   XXXX  , Equifax reported information through  XXXX   XXXX , vwhich resulted in a  XXXX   XXXX  score. Many negative items were disputed by me directly with Equifax via letters. Equifax, removed many of the items due to the failure to verify the accuracy of those negative accounts. However, they also deleted my open and active credit card account, which is in good standing. These actions resulted in a NO SCORE credit file with Equifax. Consequently, I have been denied credit based on information provided by th em ( No  credit experience ). I contacted Equifax a few weeks ago when I first noticed that my credit card account was deleted. I was not able to resolve the issue with them. Since then, I have not been able to speak with anyone. Furthermore, Equifax has continued to update only negative information through  XXXX   XXXX , even inquries as recent as  XXXX   XXXX ,   XXXX   ... .but, not my open, in good standing credit card account with  XXXX   XXXX   XXXX  If I have an account in good standing, which was previously showing on  XXXX   XXXX , I should have a credit score for reporting. I have eliminated the theory that  XXXX   XXXX  is the issue, as the rep from Equifax suggessted since I had purchased a subscription from  XXXX   (  I think thats the name ) and it showed my Equifax score a (  XXXX  ). Additionally, I tried to purchase an Equifax subscription, using the card that they deleted from my file and my subscription purchase did not go through although my card was charged. I feel as if they are only reporting negative information about me and not positive accounts ... and I have no way to regularly monitor my Equifax report to for errors and accuracy. Ive attached files that show that my card was previously showing, but was deleted, along with proof of my previous score and proof that the  XXXX   XXXX  account exist, is in good standing and reported by other bureaus.
Complaint sub-issue: Information that should be on the report is missing

This is in regards to the previous complaint filed with the CFPB, XXXX. I asked LexisNexis to update my Current Carrier insurance report with all the policies I have had for the past 7 years since there were gaps on my report and I have not had any insurance gap. I contacted all the insurance companies I have had and compiled a PDF with the Declaration pages for each and every single Policy I have had and sent it to Lexis Nexis so they would updated the missing ones. Not only I was forced to contact the CFPB since they ignored me when I contacted them directly, but now I receive an " updated '' report which is still missing over 10 policies.
