Complaint sub-issue: Trouble with how payments are handled

My servicer Nelnet is taking any loan payment I make in excess of monthly accrued interest and applying it to the principal of the loan with the lowest interest rate ( lender friendly result ). I asked them to change this and they said I can not since I 'm on an IBR plan. This seems predatory to me.

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

Case # XXXX I urge CFPB investigate into the internal operations of CitiBank 's executive office.

CitiBank has failed to handle all my earlier complaints appropriately. In fact in response to my last complaint ref : XXXX the citibank 's executive representative called me and told me he does not understand my complaint. My previous complaint was very much straight forward but because these people are scumbags at citi 's executive office they called me and said they do not understand my complaint. 

When none of their tricks worked to get past my previous complaint, the citibank 's executive XXXX sent me an email stating, " we ask that you please interact with our branch staff and Contact Center agents in an appropriate and professional manner. '' When they realized that my earlier complaint were indeed not handled appropriately, they put the whole blame on me. 

There is nothing executive about these operators, these people at citi bank 's executive office are a one hundred percent certified XXXX

Complaint sub-issue: Card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase or transfer

I paid my XXXX XXXX XXXX bill through the Reliacard bill pay online on XX/XX/2020 in the amount of {$500.00}. According to Reliacards website It may take up to 2-5 business days for the payment to be applied by the Payee to your bill. On XX/XX/2020 XXXX XXXX still had not received the {$500.00} payment. I called XXXX XXXX CC to verify that they had not received the payment and was told no payment had been received or is currently pending. I then called Reliacards customer service ( XXXX ) at XXXX on XX/XX/2020 and was on hold for over 2 hours. The first person I spoke with was XXXX. I explained to her what was happening and she said she couldnt do anything to help so I asked her to connect me to someone who could. She connected me to a supposed supervisor named XXXX and he gave me several different reasons why the payment had not been received. First one was, the payment had not been processed yet and to give it a couple of more days. I told him Put a stop on that payment and credit my account back. He then said Nope, it has been processed and I should give it a couple more days. I explained to him what Relaicards  site said about 2-5 business days for the payment to be received. He then said to me I could cancel the payment online. I told him you can not cancel the payment on line after it has been processed. He told me to go to their site and he would walk me through. I went to the site and he told me to go to cancel payment button. I explained there is no cancel payment button and that the site says To Cancel a Scheduled payment, select Cancel. This was not a scheduled payment and the payment had already been processed. I believe he realized he was wrong and without saying anything, he hung up on me. 
This morning XX/XX/2020 I called back and waited over an hour. I spoke with XXXX and told her what happened on the last call and in a very rude voice she tells me According to our records you hung up on him. I wasnt going to argue and told her to put a stop on that payment and issue a refund to my account. She said ok, anything else? I said can I have a confirmation number for the canceled payment? She told me my CC ID was my confirmation number and hung up. 
Your help is this matter would be greatly appreciated. 
Sincerely, XXXX
Complaint sub-issue: Investigation took more than 30 days

I still have not seen results to an investigation into the items I believe to be inaccurate on my report. This is the second complaint I have had to make about the lack of response. My first was made on XX/XX/2020 and was accompanied by a dispute submitted directly to XXXX, XXXX  and Equifax. The complaint numbers were XXXX ( Equifax ), XXXX ( XXXX  ) and XXXX ( XXXX  ). While I understand that there is a pandemic which can cause delays, I have not received anything from them since my first dispute on XX/XX/2020. This is not a delay : this is negligence on the part of XXXX, XXXX  and Equifax, enabled by the disastrous dismantling of regulation by you, the CFPB, in regard to the bureaus ' legal requirement to respond to a dispute within 30-45 days. There is no good faith effort by ANY of the bureaus to resolve anything ; in fact some have stated my complaints were duplicated ( when in fact 1 was for my husband ) or that they would investigate and send me the results but I have YET to receive anything! I have also ready that there was data released showing a 550 % increase in complaints to the CFPB about this very issue compared to this time last year. XXXX, XXXX  and Equifax must be held accountable and to the standards clearly outlined in the FCRA.

It appears that my credit file has been compromised. Again, I was going through my records & noticed many information, accounts or items which do not belong to me.

Complaint sub-issue: Account opened as a result of fraud

I have never had any business with PNC Bank. I received notices that at least 3 new accounts were opened in my name. The customer service telephone numbers provided to report fraud were worthless because hold times were interminable. Finally, I visited a local PNC branch and the manager was somewhat helpful in reporting the fraud. 

I requested information about what private information of mine PNC had fraudulently obtained and presumably still had archived. In response, all I received was a bunch of perfunctory account closing reports with condescending correspondence about how PNC was pleased to help me solve MY problem. 

I had no problem! PNC had a problem in that they had established policies that made it easy for perpetrators to open fraudulent accounts even though it would be easy to institute anti-fraud safeguards. Instead, they opt for expediency, presumably to facilitate higher profits. This creates innocent victims of fraud.
Complaint sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

I do not consent to e-oscar verification. I am writing today because I have tried to contacted the agencies that " assumed '' a vital role in accurately reporting consumer information multiple times over the last sixty days and have received no response. XXXX XXXX XXXX is in violation of 15 usc 1692g as they have failed to validate the account they and XXXX, XXXX and EQUIFAX are reporting while defaming my character. FDCPA 807 misleading false reporting. Reporting these false things is very misleading.18 U.S. CODE 1028A-Aggravated identity theft you shared my information with numerous creditors without getting my consent first. You are criminally liable for aggravated identity theft which is punishable for up to 2 years. FDCPA 8012 furnishing deceptive forms : you furnished these inaccurate inquiries and accounts as if they were accurate when they were never validated according to GAAP, so you don't even know if these accounts are accurate, but yet you still took it upon yourself to report this inaccurate information. Also you reported that I owe a debt, but nowhere on my credit report do I see a negative balance, ( I don't see a negative sign in front of any numbers, only positive ). By telling me I owe a debt, but reporting positive balance to my credit report is very deceptive.
