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

This is not a duplicate nor is this complaint being filed by a third party, I am filing this complaint myself. Please see this complaint is processed to the letter of the law. 
This account has several errors. The payment history and date last activity are inaccurate as the references to late payment. I was never late in paying. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Im going to have to request proof of last payment and payment history. You are reporting false information and I believe the company is violating Sections 616 & 617 of the FCRA, as required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) Disclosures to consumers [ 15 U.S.C. 1681g ] ( ( a ) Information on file ; sources ; report recipients.

If the consumer to whom the file relates requests that the first 5 digits of the social security number ( or similar identification number ) of the consumer not be included in the disclosure and the consumer reporting agency has received appropriate proof of the identity of the requester, the consumer reporting agency shall so truncate such number in such disclosure. & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) Procedure in case of disputed accuracy [ 15 U.S.C. 1681i ] ( a ) Reinvestigations of Disputed Information. If the completeness or accuracy of any item of information contained in a my file at XXXX and XXXX are disputed by the consumer and the consumer notifies the agency directly, or indirectly through a creditor, the Bureaus shall, free of charge, conduct a reasonable reinvestigation to determine whether the disputed information is inaccurate and record the current status of the disputed information, or update the item from my file in accordance with paragraph ( 5 ), before the end of the 30-day period beginning on the date on which the agency receives the notice of the dispute from the consumer or creditor.

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

Equifax and XXXX are incorrectly reporting a charge-off account where I am shown as an Authorized User on the XXXX partial account number XXXX. ( Please see page attached from my credit report. ) I have already called the bank and let them know that I never gave permission to be added as an Authorized User on this account. This incorrect reporting of me as an authorized user is harming my credit score and this line item needs to be removed from my credit report. I have contacted the two bureaus to fix this issue, however I have not been successful.

I have never signed any contract with them allowing them to share my information which is identity theft and a violation of law and the FCRA this has caused me and my family harm in which I am about to sue them all to the fullest extent of the law. They have consistently reported the debt of a living fiction on my personal record which according to HJR 192 and Public law 73-10 all debts are by law the responsibility of the U.S. Government ( Corporate Fiction ) I will give the 3 business days to remove all old accounts, closed accounts, all addreses accept the current address ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Al XXXX XXXX ) off my record or I will file suit for all FCRA violations, Identity theft, commercial and corporate fraud.

I have tried countless times to have all three bureaus understand two items. XXXX XXXX XXXX charge off was 7 yrs ago and I paid the account In Full as the check noted. Over XXXX XXXX  
Second I have one student loan payment. They are reporting late payments as XXXX for each loan that the payment is disbursed across. This is absolutely ridiculous and unfair and no one seems to care at all.
Complaint sub-issue: Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement

I purchased a bed from XXXX on XX/XX/2022 using my Discover card. When I received the item on XX/XX/XXXX I noticed it was damaged and it was the wrong item. I immediately setup a return from XXXX and was given a shipping label with XXXX. The bed was picked up on XX/XX/XXXX. After the pickup I noticed I could not track the package because the tracking was not working. It was giving me an error and telling me the tracking number was not in the system. Apparently the package is now lost so because of this XXXX refuses to refund me the total amount of $ XXXX disputed with Discover because of incomplete service but it did not go in my favor. Now I lost money to XXXX and have no item to show.

Complaint sub-issue: Account information incorrect

I had a Citi credit card in XX/XX/XXXX. Citi charged me an annual fee in XX/XX/XXXX for the coming year so I closed my account. I was told by Citi that they would remove the fee because I have closed my account. However Citi did not removed the fee and did not sent me any communication and sent the balance to collection agency in XX/XX/XXXX. I started the dispute process in XX/XX/XXXX, and after many many communications, Citi admitted the mistake and agreed to write off the balance. Citi also told me to contact their CBR department to correct the credit report. I faxed the dispute to CBR in XX/XX/XXXX. But Citi has not corrected the report up to now. I contacted them again in XX/XX/XXXX after I found out during my mortgage application. Citi is not correcting the error.
Complaint sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

In accordance with the fair credit reporting XXXX XXXX XXXX account number XXXX XXXX violated my rights 15 u.s.c 1681 section 602 A. States I have the right to privacy.

Complaint sub-issue: Problem during payment process

I have a Citicard. I had a deferred interest promotion which expired on XX/XX/XXXX. Before my deferred interest promotion expired, I also obtained a flex loan from the same credit card. The deferred interest was 0 % and the flex loan at 5.99 %. 

Under 12 CFR Part 1026 ( Regulation Z ), XXXX XXXX. i. states : ( i ) Last two billing cycles. The card issuer must allocate any amount paid by the consumer in excess of the required minimum periodic payment consistent with paragraph ( a ) of this section, except that, during the two billing cycles immediately preceding expiration of the specified period, the excess amount must be allocated first to the balance subject to the deferred interest or similar program and any remaining portion allocated to any other balances consistent with paragraph ( a ) of this section I attempted to pay off my deferred interest balance in XX/XX/XXXX and again in XX/XX/XXXX, prior to the expiration date of my deferred interest balance XX/XX/XXXX. Citi allocated the minimum to my deferred interest balance 0 % and the rest to my flex loan 5.99 %. They told me that they had to make the payment to the flex loan per federal regulation that requires the extra payments go to the higher interest rate. Clearly, they are not following section b of the reg cited above. Addtionally, prior to my payment in XXXX, I reached out to Citi via the chat feature to make sure that my payment would be applied with the minimum to the flex loan ( 5.99 % ) and the extra to the deferred interest balance. The Citi chat person told me that is how it would be applied. Additionally, when making the payment online, I clicked the payment option stating " pay Adjusted New Balance plus Flex Plan Monthly Payment '' which was the exact total of my remaining deferred interest balance plus the minimum payment of the flex loan. Clearaly, any reasonable person would assume by checking this box their payment would be allocated per the stated payment option! 

The result is that I am now stuck paying the 22.49 % interest rate on the remaining deferred interest balance that I attempted to pay off twice! My interest is now higher every month. This is clearly unreasonable and it does not follow 1026.53 b.

I hope that you will look into this and rectify it. Clearly section 1026.53 b. was drafted becasue of this exact situation. A consumer should not be forced to pay interest on a deferred balance when they've attempted to pay it off more than once. 

Thank you for your time.
Complaint sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

on reviewing my reports, there are still incorrect information found in my reports which I believe has been taken care of due to the written appeals I sent. The last letter sent to XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX was XXXX,, but no response was ever received from them today date. Thus, their action has violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 USC Sections 1681i, which states that continued reports of the unverified information without any proof provided, within the time allowed by law, is not authorized. The following items listed below are still reporting on my Credit Reports that need to be corrected and removed in my file immediately : Account # XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX, Balance Owed : { {$460.00} }

Complaint sub-issue: Can't close your account

Have tried on multiple occasions to close my account, the latest being XXXX XXXX when again I went in personally with the PNC Bank Branch manager and asked the account be closed. I was told it would take XXXX. On XXXX XXXX ( *7 days later ) a charge came in and instead of refusing it, they paid it then charged me for an overdraft and then tacked on the banks monthly account fee XX/XX/XXXX. When I went in today to complain, I was told they should have given me a letter showing the account had been closed. This is the second time I have had serious problems with this bank. They messed up my mortgage so bad it took almost 4 months to straighten it out. This bank needs to be investigated for fraudulent bank practices.
Complaint sub-issue: Investigation took more than 30 days

On   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX    , I submitted an online dispute with Equifax concerning  XXXX  accounts on my credit report that were fraudulent. As requested in a previous disputed, I submitted a copy of my Identity theft affidavit from the Federal Trade Commission as well as a copy of the police report. Both of the accounts in dispute were listed on both documents. On   XXXX   XXXX  , I received a response from Equifax stating the account was researched and determined to be mine. When I called Equifax, I was told by an customer service  rep. t hat I did not add my current identification, however the other account was deleted from my file without it and my identification was never requested by Equifax. I would have to wait another 30 days to allow them to investigate it again. I asked to speak to a supervisor and was told that   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   XXXX   responded to their investigation incorrectly therefore, they would need another 30 days to re-investigate the matter because it was also not investigated on their part as a fraud case. I told that supervisor that was unacceptable as I should not have to take responsibility for their agencies and the creditor not doing their parts. I asked to speak to her supervisor when connected to him, he told me that they were just reporting what the creditor sent to them. I asked how could the creditor report  one thing to his agency and another to the other 2  agencies being that the other agencies did their investigations, which resulted in the removal of the account. I asked for a copy of the investigation they did and the response from the creditor be mailed to me. He told me he would only send me how they conducted the investigation and that was it. He then stated, it also would take another 30 days the receive this information.
Complaint sub-issue: Account status incorrect

I would like to open a credit dispute with loan Care, LLC who reported a delinquent payment on XX/XX/2021 to the credit bureaus which caused my credit score to plummet XXXX points to an unfavorable rating. I requested a payoff in mid XXXX and was sent a payoff letter and payoff was made on XX/XX/2021. This action has caused harm to my credit and I am unable to apply for another loan. I would like the record corrected, the delinquency removed and for your company to stop incorrectly reporting. I have reached out to the 3 bureaus and they said they only report what they are given from loan care. My wife has spoken to loan care twice and they are claiming they did not report this loan as delinquent. Both parties are pointing the finger and we are the damaged parties. I want this issue escalated to a second level supervisor and the department that reports out the credit file information. This has caused irreparable harm to our credit file.
