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

My CitiBank XXXX XXXX ending in XXXX was charged with {$3000.00} worth of fraudulent charges from XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  ). The dates of fraudulent charges were between XX/XX/2022 - XX/XX/2022. I did not initially notice the charges because I pay my credit card bill via auto-pay. However, when my balance was so high, I became alarmed and upon researching, saw multiple fraudulent charges over a few months. I contacted CitiBank immediately and that card was then closed. Citi stated that they would open an investigation. I never heard anything regarding the outcome and this was about 6 months ago! One day in XX/XX/2022, I called Citi again, they sent me a letter stating that the investigation was opened and that is the last I heard from them. Today when I called XXXX, they said my claim was closed/denied because they could not reach me. I find that hard to believe because I have been WAITING to hear from them! That's why I called them again! In addition, I have had the same phone number for 40 years! My address has changed, but I have my mail forwarded via the XXXX. I do not believe them when they say they could not connect with me and therefore, " denied '' my claim. I have email mail. It all sounds too convenient for them to say, " we could not connect with you so we denied your claim. '' I'd LOVE to speak/connect with them to get this handled once and for all! On an other note : Upon looking at my statement, it can easily be seen that charges were made simultaneously in XXXX XXXX AND XXXX  on the same day - how could I possibly be in 2 places on the same day on opposite sides of the country?! No, I did not lose my card. Yes, I am willing to file a police report if necessary. All the while I am accumulating interest fees and my credit is affected by this as well. Today I called again and after 45 minutes of phone XXXX with ignorant people, Citi claimed they will re-open my fraud investigation. I do not trust Citi to help me or do the right thing because they have not in all these months! PLEASE help me!
Complaint sub-issue: Account status incorrect

I have contacted all 3 credit bureaus and the original creditor multiple times and have disputed serious errors on my credit report. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX ( mortgage company ) recently reported to all 3 bureaus that I have had an open account since XXXX and they have falsely reported late payments for XXXX, XXXX and reported a 'late payment ' for XX/XX/XXXX. I have NOT had an active account of any kind during those years. The data reported by XXXX to all 3 credit bureaus are NOT true and are an absolute impossibility! I have had NO interaction with them since XXXX yet they even continued to report a closed account all during XXXX as well. 

I was denied credit and a mortgage as a result of this malicious and negligent reporting. 

I have filed multiple disputes with Equifax, XXXX and XXXX as well as XXXX, but in each case credit bureaus have reported that XXXX 'verified ' and/or 'validated ' this. Again, this is 100 % impossible and is fraudulent reporting by XXXX.

Please provide a written response to the questions below to the address that you have on file. This letter was sent to Grant & Weber on or around XX/XX/XXXX. I have yet to receive a written response to that inquiry as of today, XX/XX/XXXX.
If Grant & Weber has attempted to contact me since, it has not been in writing, nor have they used any identifiable telephone number nor left a message identifying themselves to my voicemail.
Since I only knew account in reference from Grant & Weber, I have attempted to resolve it directly through them as the account is now in their hands. The original creditor has not been contacted as I have no reference to the specific account sent to collections.

Complaint sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Equifax is a company that lies, cheat & Violates peoples right. They are reporting a hospital bill on my credit report that is paid in full by my insurance company. The Collection agency that is reporting this debt has been send proof already by my insurance company. ( This is a old debt that they change the date on.They sold the debt to another company that got the proof as well & wrote saying they are sorry but its wont be reported because the proof is very much except. Another company contact me again XXXX weeks later then XXXX solutions another week after.So XXXX different companies plus XXXX all collecting on the same debt at the same time. ( Fraudulent ) XXXX & XXXX has removed with the proof by certified letter the same certified letter that was sent to Equifax. Equifax needs to be seriously investigated because they are Crooks. I dont know if there workers can not read or understand English but they are by far the worst reporting agency out of the XXXX credit bureaus. If you ask them for proof on how the item was verified they will never ever send you the proof. They should have requested for XXXX solution proof that I still owe the bill because the hospital already told me I owe nothing. They also said its not reporting on my credit report. Then after that letter said that the item was verified as belonging to me. Even when they said it was not reporting on my credit report it was. When a company tell lies 24-7 they get tangled in a web of lies. I uploaded all the letters from Equifax. Also the date the {$99.00} bill started reporting. Under the new law for medical bills they should not even be fighting me on this but Equifax is looking for a big fat lawsuit for violating my right.

We have done this process twice once for myself and once for my wife with the same results. Equifax used a third party vendor for their information,  XXXX . Equifax is ignoring our  Lien Withdrawal.    Since our state is included in the  XXXX   XXXX   XXXX  settlement and  Federal Tax Liens a re to be deleted we find this conduct very irregular.
Complaint sub-issue: Company closed your account

XXXX XX/XX/22 I became a victim of an employment recruitment scam. One of my accounts was used to scam {$2100.00}. Once I realized what happened, I visited my nearest branch for help. After three days of bouncing from rep to rep, On Monday the XXXX I was able to speak with a branch manager. The branch manager informed me that all my US Bank accounts were frozen and would be closed and I should find another bank. I explained what happened, kept all documentation. He understood what happened, but said that US Bank could not risk this happening again and they no longer wanted my business. I have been a customer for 30 years and have never in my life had anything like this happened before. I was hoping to work out a way to repay the loss in a matter of a couple weeks, but that didnt matter. Even though, I am the victim, its my fault that I was tricked. So I have no problem stepping up and fixing it, even though it puts me in a really tough place with my mortgage and bills for the month. But, as of the XX/XX/XXXX I have no access to funds until my new bank account is setup and they send me debit/ATM cards and my next paycheck is deposited. No grocery, gas, utilities payments available. I am emotionally and mentally distraught from the scam and this response did not help. The branch manager at the US Bank location at XXXX  XXXX, MO was so uncaring, it brought me to tears. He made me feel like I was the scammer.
Complaint sub-issue: Account information incorrect

I applied for a home refinance loan last week. I received the HUD disclosures today. The institution that we are refinancing with is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. No issues with them. In the consolidated credit information ( from all three credit reporting agencies ), it was reported that I had a balance of {$5600.00} with XXXX XXXX XXXX on a credit card. I called the bank and I was told I had to take that up with the credit bureaus and they had no further intention of doing anything about it. I spoke with XXXX  and XXXX. They both verified that their systems showed a XXXX balance. I spoke with the folks at Equifax and they refused to allow me to submit a dispute. So, I have issues with both XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX.
Complaint sub-issue: Problem with fees

I opened my card with Upgrade in XX/XX/2021. There has been no problem with using the card or with their terms. The problem I have is that they do not overtly disclose how much interest is charged each month. I must always determine this amount by subtracting the balance according to all listed charges from the balance displayed on my account dashboard. I have scoured their website and I have scoured my statements and there is absolutely no mention of how much interest is being charged. 

To be clear, my problem is not that they are charging me interest. It is that they are HIDING it. I did initially make a call to their customer support line and even the representative I spoke to could not find any information on what the discrepancy between the listed charges and the given balance was. He could only suggest that I continue doing what I am doing to determine what interest had been charged for a given month. 

I am attaching a copy of my most recent statement with the account number redacted ( though I'm 100 % certain they could determine who I am based on the transactions and billing dates ).

My loan was transferred from XXXX  to Mohela. I resubmitted my XXXX  and my payment more than doubled. I don't have a problem with the payment, but Mohela is unable to provide me with the calculations of the payment.
