Complaint sub-issue: Card was charged for something you did not purchase with the card

On or about XX/XX/2020, while looking at my Citi credit card account online, I noticed that there were charges to my accounts that were not incurred by me. They were numerous charges made in XXXX, charged by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I was never in XXXX, nor did I order anything online from XXXX. 

I immediately called Citi Customer Service, and informed them that these charges were fraudulent, and was reassured that Citi would take care of removing these charges from my accounts. 

When I received my next statement, inXX/XX/XXXX, I noticed that only some of the fraudulent charges were removed ( total fraudulent charges were {$640.00}, fraudulent charges removed were only {$210.00} ). I placed numerous calls to customer service and was repeatedly assured that the charges would be removed. 

I wrote three letters to them, certified mail, but they never responded, and the fraudulent charges are still on my account.
Complaint sub-issue: Account terms

I recently got my credit report which showed my credit scores. XXXX and XXXX have gone down XXXX points. I have been trying desperately to reestablish credit since a medical bk and foreclosure as I know how important good credit is. I have over the past 3 yrs purchased a home & opened up credit cards, paying them off immediately. I recently refinanced my home & bought a new car. I shopped around & it is my understanding that I could shop around for 30 days & those inquiries which were for the same thing & done within 30 days of each would only count ONLY as one. Apparently this is not happened according to Equifax. I have several refi inquiries & also auto inquiries which I do not believe has been fed properly to FICO who is determining my credit score. I need to get this straightened out so that my score can improve. The credit reporting agencies say I can not dispute a Inquiry. They say I must contact the company on the report ; find out who made the inquiry ; contact them and either ask them to remove it if it were in error or if it was not authorized by me. I have done this with several. Please note XXXX had pulled my credit on XXXX & XXXX /out my permission They say they will remove same. Others say they ca n't do it..So I am at a loss at what do do as each XXXX is XXXX points and is adversely affecting my credit Note : 1 ) XXXX pulled for XXXX Mortgage XXXX/XXXX/XXXX XXXX XXXX/XXXX/XXXX for refi within 30 days 2 ) XXXX pulled for XXXX XXXX/XXXX/XXXX & XXXX/XXXX/XXXX within 30 days 3 ) XXXX pulled for XXXX XXXX XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX Store XXXX/XXXX/XXXX for auto loan -- XXXX had pulled it as well on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX all within 30 days ; Home State Bank which is NOW XXXX Bank had several different inquiries : XXXX Bank had BOTH Credit Bureau XXXX XXXX & XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX pull it both on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX which seems crazy to have it pulled twice on the same day!!! I just spoke to them They are writing a letter to credit bureaus to have them removed as they did NOT have my authorization to do so after checking their records. 
I am frustrated because I ca n't dispute these with credit reporting agencies, many of the companies I call do n't want to remove them ; I ca n't get help from FICO who is the ones that report the scores ; and I ca n't get help from the reporting agencies who feed the info to FICO -- YET my credit is getting damaged and there is no one to turn to. Please research this let me know how to best proceed and if in fact some of these can be deleted.

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

This information is in regard to XXXX  Credit Reporting Agency. 

Credit Report Number : XXXX XXXX  has continuously and is currently reporting 2 accounts that is a result of identity theft within my credit file. The info is with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX & DISCOVER FINANCIAL SERVICES. Perpetrators were able to obtain several loans, bank accounts and credit cards using my information. I had filed a police report, I had filed an FTC identity theft report, and yet they ( XXXX  ) still kept the fraudulent information within my credit file. Not only did they did this, the credit bureau ( XXXX  ) has also updated and maintained this information within my report, even though XXXX  and both ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX & DISCOVER FINANCIAL SERVICES ) companies has failed to send me information on who opened up these fraudulent accounts. 

Several times I have asked XXXX  to remove the accounts and to verify who had opened these accounts with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX & DISCOVER FINANCIAL SERVICES, and to several times, no success or avail. 

Ive also reached out to both companies XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX & DISCOVER FINANCIAL SERVICES. XXXX XXXX kept on giving me the run around and no one never returns my calls. While a representative at Discover Card told me the company has its obligations to keep a record on everyone, regardless if that person is an ID THEFT VICTIM, and even if its mine or not. Nor are they obligated to send me anything as well on the fraudulent account even though a police and FTC REPORT was filed. I had submitted a police report and an FTC identity theft to Discover Financial Services. 

Both fraudulent accounts are still within my credit as of XX/XX/2020. 

I currently work as XXXX XXXX at XXXX XXXX, in XXXX XXXX NY. 
So daily I have to restrict my commute by using XXXX/XXXX  services due to the exposure of the Coronavirus on XXXX  public transportation. And in return its costing me closer to thousands of dollars every week. All due to the fact that I can not apply for a car loan due to my Identity being stolen and fraudulently used. As well as the fraudulent acts of XXXX  Credit Bureau. 

Im facing risk with my life everyday, and the last thing that I should be worrying about is my credit being used fraudulently at XXXX  Credit Bureau. XXXX  has not made it easy for identity theft victims such as myself. An help from someone within the Consumer Finance Bureau is highly appreciated. Thank you.

I called Equifax to report that I was a victim of identity theft. I began to explain this to the customer service representative and she stated I first needed to complete a XXXX question process before she could update my credit profile. The customer service representative then transferred me to Equifax consumer satisfaction automated line; rating the satisfaction of the experience with Equifax system. After answering the XXXX questions the system disconnected me and the customer service representative never resolved my issue nor explain to her that I faxed a police report supporting me being a victim of identity theft. Please investigate Equifax illicit practices ; and I'm also a victim of their data breach. My information has been compromised due to their security breach. I truly don't trust them reporting nor storing my personal information.

I had multiple discrepancies on my credit report and I have asked for the information to be verified and removed. Neither has happened and I also wrote a demand and comply letter. I still have not received a response or any information that may have verified the discrepancies. This means the credit bureaus have also not complied with there policies.
Complaint sub-issue: Public record information inaccurate

Sent Equifax letters for public record removal and also accounts that were listed that are not mine. They have my name listed wrong on my report and i cant get into the online dispute tool.

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

Equifax and XXXX  are reporting incorrectly that I am 120 days past due on the US DEPT ED accounts. Please see the attached spreadsheet of reporting bureaus and account numbers. Also, please reference pages 23 and 24 of the attached credit report. This account reports a {$0.00} balance and {$0.00} past due. However, they are coded as if I am currently past due in present day. I am not disputing any prior late payments, but rather the coding error. This account is currently being coded as an I5. Please change the coding to I1. This incorrect reporting is harming my credit scores. Please keep in mind that it is impossible to be late on accounts where nothing is owed and nothing is past due.

Sometime in XX/XX/XXXX XXXX gave me XXXX number of XXXX. I called them, they searched their data base with name, SSN etc. and they could not find any. XXXX wanted Routing ID and first 3 digits of account which they did not give. I reported to XXXX   and XXXX and they closed this account. Equifax is investigating. Sometime in early XXXX i consulted a Lawyer. As per my lawyer 's advise, following good faith tender agreement made XXXX $ s as FULL and FINAL payment to XXXX as XXXX $ s came from them.

Now they are coming after me for the remaining XXXX $ s which they ( XXXX ) themselfs don't know where they sent.

Complaint sub-issue: Overdrafts and overdraft fees

On XX/XX/XXXX I had a payment withdrawn in the amount of {$390.00} which over drafted my account. The payment was reversed and I was charged a fee of {$36.00} by PNCBank, I was also charged by a {$25.00} fee by XXXX because of the rejected payment. In my opinion I rarely overdraft my account, however, in the few times it has happened in the past PNC has always covered the transactions. <P/>I contacted PNC on XX/XX/XXXX to ask why the payment was rejected this time when they have always covered any similar transactions in the past. I was provided inconsistent and inaccurate information by the representative. The only thing consistent about the call was that I was provided a different answer each time I asked a question. As a side note the service was absolutely horrible! The agent muffled things under her breath about me like " oh man '' and then when I asked to speak with a supervisor, she told me she would connect me with her team lead and instead disconnected the call. I have now waited a full 24 hrs expecting a follow up call, but unfortunately have not received one. <P/>The agent advised me that no policy had changed and that PNC has never covered a check overdraft on my account. She even told me that even if the overdraft was less than {$50.00} that it would have been declined. I then provided dates of similar transactions that had not been rejected and her response was basically that it just depends. She would not provide any type of direct answer as to why this payment was rejected and I have no confidence that anything she told me was accurate. <P/>The main reason for my call was to know why the payment was rejected so that I know what would happen if a similar situation arose in the future. I still have no idea as to the answer. I did also ask for the fee to be reimbursed as a courtesy which did not happen. I feel {$36.00} as basically a processing fee to decline a payment is beyond excessive. This is especially true since because the payment was rejected and I was charged an additional {$25.00} by XXXX. <P/>PNC is obviously aware when someone is experiencing financial difficulty when they are overdrawn, instead of trying to assist, they charge excessive fees that makes it even more difficult for someone in an already difficult situation. <P/>I do plan on closing my account with PNC as a result of this recent experience, however, I still wanted to make the CFPB and PNCBank aware that if the agent I spoke with is the typical agent, then the call center has no idea how an over draft works, how to look up account history and how the current policy works. Additionally, I ask that they review the call from XX/XX/XXXX as the agent I spoke with at the very least needs some coaching on professionalism and customer service.
