Complaint sub-issue: Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone

Complaint sub-issue: Funds not received from closed account

Please find attached an automatic renewal completed against my instructions by XXXX XXXX. 

I had opened a 1 year cd with specific instructions to not renew upon maturity. I had also asked for notice when the cd was due to mature. In fact, I received no notice and the company actually renewed the cd and then sent me a confirmation 2 weeks after the fact. 

When I called to complain they said they had mailed, not emailed, but mailed a USPS notice and blamed the post office for lack of receipt. I asked under the COVID situation if they could make an exception and was refused. I asked for a no interest redemption and was advised I would be penalized with 6 months interest subtraction for my two weeks before they sent the confirmation. 

I demanded to speak with a manager or more senior supervisor and was told I would be called back. I provide both my cell phone and email address and have not been contacted. 

I find this company to be indifferent to proper business practices and no interest in solving issues with consumers. 

Your assistance is appreciated

They stated they were going to contact XXXX  XXXX ( where I live ) if I did not respond. I called the # and they had my name and date of birth. I asked why they were making veiled threats about suit or inferring the county government may get involved in a debt that is so old. The statute of limitations is long expired. I also asked when they received consent from my to contact my cell #. They stated they did not need consent. When I asked what their mailing address was I was hung up on. I called back and asked another person for their business address and again was hung up on. I called A third time and it went to voicemail. I know my rights under the FDCPA, especially as it relates to third party debt collectors which I presume is what this company is. I demand restitution under FDCPA and TCPA and I demand to never be contacted about this again.

Complaint sub-issue: Account information incorrect

I received a letter from CitiBank XX/XX/2019 addressing my TWO concerns : 1. Debt validation for two CitiBank TWO accounts : XXXX, XXXX 2. Consent Order, CFPB vs Citibank However, here are the problems : 1. Citibank sent me debt validation for only ONE account, instead of TWO accounts. Also the debt validation account number provided ( XXXX ) is not consistent with both accounts numbers listed above ( *see attachment ). 
2. Citibank did not address REASON WHY CFPB vs Citibank does not apply to BOTH my accounts. 

Please address both these concerns. I'd greatly appreciate it.

Upon reviewing my updates, the incorrect information was still found in my reports which I believe has been taken care of due to the written appeals I sent. The last letter sent to Equifax was XX/XX/2022, but no response was ever received from them to date. Thus, their action has violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act Section 605B which states that the credit bureaus are required to remove/block any account which was opened without my knowledge, consent or authority within 4 business days. The account listed below is still reporting on myCredit Reports and needs to be deleted immediately : DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION/XXXX  XXXX
Complaint sub-issue: Information belongs to someone else

I logged into my credit Karma account, and while I was online, tabs that are to show my accounts, data etc actually showed accounts that were not mine. I couldn't see my mortgage, loans or credit cards I currently have. I actually saw a completely different set of accounts. As if I were in someone elses account. With the cyber breach most companies have had, I'm really worried their system has been hacked or is incorrectly displaying my data to someone else as I got to see someone elses accounts, data etc all via my normal access that I use to log into credit Karma. I'm worried someone else is going to be able to see or worse, use my data. Please review asap!!!

Complaint sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Hello, I am writing to file a claim against Citi Bank Credit Cards. I have an XXXX XXXX AAdvantage credit card with Citi Bank. In XXXX of 2019 they reported my account was late on payments. However, I have never missed a payment on this card or any other of my credit cards. I always pay on-time. When I realized the payment was showing late on my credit report, I called in XXXX to see if they could remove the late payment. They said that there was nothing they can do once it's already reported. I called back yesterday and they also repeated the same thing, that once it is reported there is nothing they can do. 

I have 10 credit cards and NONE of my credit cards have EVER been paid late. All of my other credit cards were paid on time in XXXX of 2019 and this one mysteriously wasn't. I am in the process of home-buying and this late payment is seriously impacting my credit score. I would love assistance in trying to get Citi Bank to remove the late payment from my account. 

Thank you kindly!
