Complaint sub-issue: Account status incorrect

I have made multiple attempt to resolve this issue with XXXX. 100s of phone calls literally and I am ready to seek legal counsel on this. 

I settled an account with XXXX  on XX/XX/XXXX. To date I am struggling to have the correct status reflected settled and closed. 

After months of struggle, XXXX  is finally reporting settled XX/XX/XXXX and closed. XXXX  and Equifax are still showing DEROGATORY status and no closed date. In fact there is an " N '' for negative on XX/XX/XXXX in both bureaus. 

This is affecting my ability to seek home equity loan. I have put into this 5 months. I have been patient. These people do not care. Beyond taking the settlement they do not care to meet their end of the bargain, to report correctly.

Complaint sub-issue: Problem with customer service

I have requested Citibank the issuer of my CITI Thankyou Preferred master card to resolve my access to my online account so that I can view my online bills, make payments and access other rewards/points services associated with the account. 

The issue has been unresolved and my only access to bill statement is via my bank through which I have signed to receive ebill statements. 

The primary issue in resetting access to the online account is due to the fact the number registed with my account is a voip ( voice over IP ) number and is not a cell number which can receive text messages. Even though citi reset links on it web page provide the " call me " options, it doesn't operate as advertised and treats it as a textable number. 

On numerous occasions citi 's customer support denied to update the number to a cell number to resolve the issue or provide alternate means to resolve the issue for eg. a reset option via US postal service to the customer address on file. 

When the customer support did walk through the process of updating the record with the cell number it did not reflect on the website reset options. The customer support suggestion to create a new online account/identity is not supported by https : //www.citi.com/credit-cards/home for an existing registered identity associated with the card holder. 

I had also posted via certified mail a letter to Citibank Customer Service XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, SD XXXX on XX/XX/2020 which did not elicit any response. 

At this point I am left with no recourse but to file a complaint with consumer finance.gov.

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

Back in XXXX my wallet and my cell phone were stolen out of my car along with other things. All of my private information was on my phone and they were able to create a fraudulent XXXX account in my name which has already been shut down. However I noticed back in the beginning of XXXX that there were some transfers to that account that I didn't make. The first transfer was on XX/XX/XXXX for the amount of {$390.00} and the other was the next day XX/XX/XXXX for the amount of {$99.00}. as soon as I noticed the charges I submitted a dispute with Cash app for both charges on XX/XX/XXXX and they denied both disputes. When I asked for documentation on why my disputes we're denied they sent me a form that shows what the charges were for and the amount of the charges but no info explaining how I would be liable for the unauthorized charges that were made fraudulently on my account. I have since then opened another dispute on the same charges and have contacted an attorney and contacted cash app support on multiple occasions and they are refusing to issue the refunds which I am entitled to according to regulation E. I've attached all of my supporting documents as well.

This is XXXX XXXX, who is submitting this CFPB complaint myself and to inform you that there is no third party involve in the process. My request for the correction and removable of the erroneous information about my accounts has been diligently neglected by Equifax.

Besides, the inaccurate information about my accounts is still on my reports. Therefore, Equifax has not complied with the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 USC Sections 1681i within the time permitted by law and continued reporting as unverified information which now, given all my attempts to address it directly with the creditor, as willful negligence and non- compliance with federal statutes.

Complaint sub-issue: Banking errors

I am writing to appeal Citibanks research results on a dispute I filed ( XXXX ) in XX/XX/XXXX regarding a promotion ( XXXX ) bonus of {$500.00} for opening my checking 's account. I have still not received this bonus after meeting all terms and conditions of the promotion. 

I applied to open a Citibank Checking account over the phone on XX/XX/XXXX. However, my application was not immediately approved. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, Citibank sent me an email ( attached ) saying " we need more information to complete the processing of your application ''. Following the instruction I sent a copy of my Social Security Card by mail to Citibank. 

Then on XX/XX/XXXX, Citibank sent me another email ( also attached ) to notify me that my checking account is finally open. On XX/XX/XXXX I made a deposit of {$15000.00} to meet the requirement of promotion XXXX. 

Hence, it is clear that Citibank 's statement in their letter to me ( also attached ) that " your account does not qualify for this promotion because the required deposit was not made within the stated timeframe [ 30 days ] '' is false. 

I have made several phone calls to Citibank 's customer service since XX/XX/XXXX and submitted the attached documents by mail and fax. All the agents I spoke with supported my view that I should have received the promotion bonus, yet the bank 's back office did not look into the facts I provided when denying my dispute.
Complaint sub-issue: Problem with balance transfer

Dear Investigating Officer, On XX/XX/2022, I initiated a balance transfer using my Citi Double cash card in the amount of {$9000.00} plus {$270.00} balance transfer fee to pay off a part of my personal loan with XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

However, I was surprised to see that the charge got posted as balance transfer made to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I never mentioned to Citi or filled up their online balance transfer form mentioning XXXX XXXX as my creditor. For the records, I NEITHER have any outstanding balance with XXXX XXXX NOR have any personal loan with them ( I can provide documentation for the same ). I even called XXXX XXXX customer fraud protection department to verify if they received any check against the account number with my name that I initially provided to Citi when I submitted a request. They denied receiving any such check from Citi in the amount of {$9000.00} on XX/XX/2022. Therefore, I recognize the {$9000.00} balance transfer charge ( Merchant : XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX ) posted on my account as fraudulent and request that it is immediately credited back to my account. 

Its just frustrating that Citis online balance transfer application is so broken and incompetent that it couldnt match the account number with the bank name that I provided in the first place. Whats even more frustrating is that it was sent to XXXX XXXX which is not even in the picture whatsoever. 

Now when I tried to contact Citis customer service, they abruptly ended the chat without providing a proper explanation/resolution as soon as they realized they messed up. When I contacted them over phone, they merely mentioned they needed to first verify where the check ended as it is reflecting on my credit card statement as processed/posted. More than offering me help and resolving my issue by issuing me a refund immediately, they seemed more concerned with the error they made on their end and made it seem as if I was the one at fault. 

Personally, I feel CITI should cease their Credit Card product offering if they are not able to protect customers assets and their credit history/file which they worked so hard on for years. 

Thank you for your help and assistance in this matter. I hope for a speedy resolution and request {$9000.00} fraudulent charges and {$270.00} balance transfer fees refunded back to my Citi Double Cash account.
