Complaint sub-issue: Problem with additional products or services purchased with the loan

I purchased a New XXXX XXXX XXXX, Truck in XX/XX/2019. I have a 5 year loan with US Bank. I purchased the vehicle in the state of XXXX, and planned to register the vehicle is XXXX  which is where I resided at the time. However shortly after purchasing the vehicle I decided to move to XXXX. But I didn't register the vehicle in XXXX since I moved to XXXX shortly after. I've attempted to register the vehicle at the XXXX DMV, however I'm not able to because XXXX DMV is asking for a copy of the title from US BANK in order for me to register the vehicle. I've called US BANK for over 3 months asking them to send COPY of title to XXXX DMV so I can register my vehicle. I'm told to have the XXXX   DMV fax over the request for title, and that has been done 4 times already. When I call US BANK to check the status I'm told they put in a request to get the title from XXXX DMV and they will forward it to XXXX DMV however that still has not been done. I called US BANK again on XX/XX/2019 and spoke with an agent and I'm told they don't see anything and they don't know what I'm referring to. I'm told they don't have the title to my vehicle, and they don't know how to fix my situation. Because of this I have been unable to register my vehicle which is increasing my chances on receiving traffic citations. The temporary registration to my vehicle expired XX/XX/2019.

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

Since my identity theft that happened in XXXX '20 and shared with local police by raising a police report and also shared with FTC through identity theft report, I can not access/register myEquifax account and I suspect someone else has registered under my SSN and name. 

I have followed up several times over the phone and over the mail with Equifax with evidence of my identity, police report, FTC IDTHEFT report and proper email address and phone number that should be assigned to my profile, with no success. 

Other notes : I am able to access my credit file with XXXX and XXXX, yet Equifax is not helpful in making this change and allows unauthorized parties access and manipulate my credit report.
Complaint sub-issue: Credit card company won't work with you while you're going through financial hardship

I was involved in a gift card scam and discover doesnt claim that its fraud. And I have an enormous bill in which Im struggling to pay off and in the meantime my interest is accruing. Its over {$10000.00} and Ive tried settling with them but the wont. I could use your help!
Complaint sub-issue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

Dear CFPB Team, In XXXX of XXXX, I noticed that XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX reported a debt of {$4500.00} on my credit report. Based on details gathered through XXXX, XXXX XXXX, and XXXX, this debt collection agency indeed begin to report this debt in late XXXX yet claims the account is open with their office since XXXX. 

I called XXXX numerous times and when I financial received a call back from one of their agents there was no cooperation to help me understand where this debt was coming from and why I did not hear from them before. Weeks after my first and only interaction with this company, I received an " Account Validation '' letter dated XX/XX/XXXX. 

I have since made several attempts to communicate with this agency and resolve this matter, the latest attempt on XX/XX/XXXX. This agency has gone silent. Their customer service number : XXXX leads directly to a voicemail. There is no email or other method of communication available. 

I find it extremely unfair for a collection agency to suddenly report a debt to the credit bureaus without properly notifying the consumer. Moreover, to report in XXXX a debt claimed to be held since XXXX without calling, sending a letter, or other notification in a good faith effort to settle the matter before impacting the consumer 's credit history. 

I have patiently waited and I have managed this situation as best as I could. From the beginning, I aimed to understand whether I owe this debt, and how this account could have possibly fallen through the cracks. 

However, XXXX denied me of my consumer rights of being timely notified of any debt and of the opportunity to settle any verified debt prior to affecting my credit report. This issue has gone over 5 months unresolved, due to XXXX 's negligence as a collection company. Similarly, this matter caused financial injury and defamation of character.
Complaint sub-issue: Card opened as result of identity theft or fraud

I recently filed a report with XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX of inaccurate items being reported on my credit reports. XXXX  and XXXX removed the above mentioned item once an FTC Report and documents to verify my identity were sent. XXXX did not. Failure to delete items that were disputed as debts which resulted from identity theft is a violation of The Federal Fair Credit Reporting. I never received notification of these debts on my credit reports. This is a defamation of character and misrepresentation of my true credit worthiness. I recently applied for a loan and was denied due to inaccurate information being report on my credit reports. I am exercising my right as a consumer who is a victim of identity theft. I ask that these accounts be deleted within 15 days of these receipt otherwise I will be force to file a litigation explicitly stating your companys negligence to abide by the Fair Credit Reporting Act and Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
Complaint sub-issue: Debt is not mine

My husband had a tenant he turned over to collections thru United Legal group. The tenant then filed a lawsuit against both of us because they threatened to harm his credit. I sent an email to put this on hold till it could be resolved. They said it could not be placed on hold had it had to be cancelled. I cancelled it and then they sent us a bill for {$52000.00} and my husband called them and they offered to settle for {$10000.00} or " make an offer ''. He told them he had other accounts to send to collections and once this is resolved, he would give it back to them to handle. Until then he thought they might have done maybe {$100.00} worth of work.They then called me and demanded the whole amount and I told them they had done nothing but send a letter and how do they think that entitles them to {$52000.00}? He said to pay it today or it goes up to {$72000.00} on Monday.I would be brought in and held equally responsible because I was the spouse. I told them if they expect to get paid {$52000.00} they need to collect XXXX times that amount to get their commission and he said the debt is owed. This is totally ridiculous. You send XXXX letter and expect to be paid {$52000.00} and then {$72000.00} from the person who hired you in the first place? I work on a commission basis and if the deal does not come together, you do not get paid. How do they think they deserve to be paid this exorbitant amount? Then we got collection letters from their partner company, XXXX XXXX XXXX, which is also threatening to damage our credit.

Complaint sub-issue: Problem with personal statement of dispute

I applied for a Citi Best Buy card and was denied credit. I have an XXXX credit score with no derogatory information ever. The reason provided was " Too many inquiries. '' I pulled my credit from XXXX where Citi also said they get their credit and there are only 3 inquiries for the year. 

Upon complaining about this to Citi on XX/XX/XXXX/17, I was called back by a supervisor telling me that underwriting had reviewed my application and confirmed it should be denied for " Too many inquiries. '' I read the 3 inquiries on my application but the supervisor refused to tell me if those were the 3 she saw. She did however admit there were only 3 for the year.
I then asked what the policy is for too many inquires as I find it hard to believe that having 3 credit inquiries for the entire year is a valid reason for denying credit. The supervisor refused to tell me the policy and said it is different for everyone.
I believe that Citi is deliberately denying me credit because I have an A+ score and I pay my promotional accounts on time so they are unable to profit from me. 

The Citibank credit application reference number is : XXXX

There are 2 hard inquires on my credit report. However, I was incarcerated during these times so I did not apply for any type of credit. I asked to dispute then and was told to contact the ftc.gov website. There were two collections for services received during my incarceration as well. All medical services are to be covered by the state. These should not be on my credit either. They removed one for {$61.00} but not the other.
Complaint sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX continued to report late payments on this closed charge off account. They submitted documents in regards to my dispute yet failed to show me any monthly statements dated after XX/XX/XXXX that showed a past due amount and a due date. 

As a result of not providing any billing statements during the period after the loan payoff, this account can not be reported as late since they did not provide necessary documentation. They claim they sent e-mail correspondence and listed dates yet did not actually provide the emails. This proof is invalid as a result. 

I have attached the ONLY letter they sent to my co-borrower. Nothing on this letter shows a due date. Please also note the date of this letter. 3 months after the payoff, and also no statements in XXXX or XXXX for any amounts owed. 

XXXX XXXX has also failed to provide me my pay off disclosure, interest rate disclosure, and credit insurance. They also reported an inaccurate charge off amount of over {$6000.00} to the XXXX XXXX when they claim only {$1000.00} was owed in their response letter. 

Also, to farther add insult to injury, according to the IRS - a charge off is reported as income and income can not be reported on a person 's consumer credit report.

Complaint sub-issue: Company closed your account

I have been a member of Citibank since XXXX. Today, I received an email saying that my account was closed. In my 22 years with Citibank, I have never been late, and never not paid my statement in full. Perhaps one or two times, did I have a service charge for cash advance fees. Essentially, I was a model credit card holder for the company. Then, today, XX/XX/XXXX, I received an email that my credit card was closed. I thought it was a mistake as I have had no problems with Citibank. I called and they said I had not used my card since XX/XX/XXXX and they closed it on XX/XX/XXXX. I did not have any warning and never was informed that I had to use my card during the Pandemic or during tough financial times in order to keep my account open. When I called to try to get my card reopen because it is the oldest card on my account, and would have a negative result on my credit report, they would not do so. They were unapologetic and did not care at all that I had been a member for so long. And the representative " XXXX '' said that they have a right to cancel my account at anytime and for no reason.

Complaint sub-issue: Public record information inaccurate

Secured a personal line of credit and personal loan from Key Bank to pay off credit cards. The credit cards were at XXXX XXXX. Key Bank sent a payoff check to XXXX XXXX XXXX, and there was an incorrect account number on the Key Bank payoff check, and so we had to cancel and reissue the check, which took two months, from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX. Between that time XXXX XXXX   chose to charge interest and late fees, I tried to reason with XXXX XXXX, but they claimed they had no legal obligation to backdate the final correctly labeled check to XX/XX/XXXX given the the first check was incorrect from Key Bank. Key Bank said they would pay the remaining {$140.00} and some change that was the late fees being charge by XXXX XXXX  as a gesture to me a new customer. Key Bank said that they would handle the account from there to close the XXXX XXXX   accounts, and no further action was needed from me.

In XX/XX/XXXX I began receiving phone calls and emails from XXXX XXXX, saying that I had a remaining balance greater than {$400.00}. Saying that I never closed the accounts so therefore they continued to charge late fees and interest. I was very confused given I had been informed by Key Bank that there was a XXXX  balance. I filed with the CFPB for XXXX XXXX, and XXXX XXXX  said that they never received the alleged {$140.00} from Key Bank, and therefore the account was never closed. XXXX XXXX agreed to waive the late fees, acknowledging that this was not a deliberate delinquency.

I then have attempted to contact my local branch repeatedly to get some sort of evidence proving that Key Bank sent the {$140.00} to XXXX XXXX back in XX/XX/XXXX. The manager at my local branch informed me that the amount was sent electronically and therefore there was nothing she could provide for evidence. I have tried calling and emailing the local branch, and asking for contact information for an executive. The local branch has stopped responding to my phone calls and emails at this time.

I need Key Bank to refund to me the {$300.00} that I paid to XXXX XXXX this Spring, the remaining principle, plus interest, minus the waived late fees. I need Key Bank to amend my Credit Report - saying that I was under the false representation that the account was made XXXX, and therefore, the fault lies with Key Bank that my credit score is haggard due to the several transaction mistakes on Key Banks responsibilities.

1. the first check was incorrectly labeled and the subsequent late fees and interest accrued 2. The alleged {$140.00} can not be traced, seen, or acknowledged by either party.

3. Key Bank informed me that they would follow through on the account and that no further action was needed from me to ensure the account was handled properly.
Complaint sub-issue: Was not notified of investigation status or results

I sent a dispute letter on XX/XX/XXXX through Certified Mail to Equifax requesting a reinvestigation and the Method of Verification for an account on my credit profile through Equifax. Per the FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 5 ) : If the Credit Bureau can not VALIDATE the information with the original creditor, they must remove said information from the consumer credit file. 
I sent copies of XXXX  and XXXX  removing the same account in question due to not being able to verify the accuracy, compliance, and report ability. 
Per the Federal Law, you have exactly 30 days to complete the investigation as outlined per the Fair Credit Reporting Act 623 ( a ) ( 3 ). Equifax has been non-compliant and didnt complete the dispute in 30 days. I further remind Equifax, as in XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX. XXXX ( C.D. XXXX. XXXX, XXXX ), you may be liable for your willful non- compliance. 
The account in question needs to be removed immediately for violations against the Fair Credit Reporting Act and no validation in the 30 day time period.
