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

I wrote to the Attorney General about this erroneous debt collection from XXXX XXXX XXXX. I had 2 auto loans during the period of XXXX to XXXX and was overcharged and taken advantage of for having poor credit, being charged over 23 and 26 %. I reported this to the Office of the Attorney General and was supposed to be included in a Class Action Lawsuit led by Office of the Attorney General in Illinois and XXXX XXXX was ordered to be the Administrator and they sent out notices for money damages and also consumers would be allowed to keep their current vehicles and others have their past loans forgiven by having their credit reporting be removed. I am a part of the class action and I got a letter from the Attorney General 's Office in CA and have sent them several emails and certified letters that XXXX was NOT removing their collection of over {$13000.00} from my credit report. To this date, it still shows up on ALL my 3 credit reports. I have written to ALL the credit bureau agencies and showed them this letter and they also continue to break the reporting laws and XXXX continues to be defiant and harass me and ruin my life by failing to remove this from my credit reports. I can not get any good decent job for almost 7 years now and I can not buy any decent car nor a decent home with the poor credit. I want money damages for this and immediate removal from my credit reports. I want CFPB to enforce the laws and help me with this!

Complaint sub-issue: Frequent or repeated calls

This is the Citibank repeatedly calling me multiple times a day regarding my Home Depot account. I have had ongoing issues for approximately a year now with them not getting my statements to me either via paper mail or online. I have spent countless phone calls and emails trying to correct the situation but they do not have their act together on their end. I therefore have informed them to stop calling me and also that I will not be shopping Home Depot any longer.

The calls continue on a daily basis even on weekends and Sundays.

They advised me that on Saturday the XXXX it will be more than 30 days and unless I come up with the payment my account would be turned over to the recovery department. I understand that it is my responsibility to be on time with my payments. But it would be really appreciated if they were willing to be accommodating in times of financial hardship. I am willing to schedule a payment directly from my account and yet I can't. If I could go back and not take out this loan for my car, I would.

They stated that in XX/XX/XXXXI was making payments, but that the law firm went out of business. Man on the phone stated he used to work for that law firm and because we had a " rapport '' he was trying to help me. He also stated that a statute of limitations doesn't exist for debt. After a back and forth I gave my email address only, and hung up on them, once they tried to pressure me into calling them back and set up payments. They also told me after 5 minutes of conversation, that this call was being recorded, something they are legally supposed to do at the beginning of the call. 

2. I actually settled this debt years ago with another collector as it was passed on to someone else. It was removed from my credit report, of which I am now in good credit health. 

3. Even if this debt wasn't updated in their systems, ( even though it was settled and they are now coming back at me after 8 years have passed ) they did not tell me that it is " time-barred '' and they couldn't pursue it legally.

Complaint sub-issue: Trouble with how payments are handled

I hold XXXX student loans with Citibank. I decided in XXXX to submit their auto-debit form. Unfortunately, the form can not be submitted online and must be mailed. Citibank has no record of receiving my request. I only realized this yesterday when XXXX notified me of a late payment on my credit file. I immediately logged into the Citibank student loan website, made the payment, and sent them a message inquiring about the issue. They responded that they had not received my request. 

In the past, Citibank used multiple methods of contacting me including sending paper statements and telephone calls when I had n't paid by the due date. It appears they have changed their practice. If they had maintained the contacting methods they used in the past and that are similar to other creditor practices, this situation would have been avoided. 

I am seeking a mortgage for my first home and this derogatory credit reporting will severely impact that process. I am seeking a resolution where at the least Citibank removes the derogatory credit reporting. To help others, they may also streamline the auto-debit process, and be much more clear about notifying consumers when they change the method of contacting them in similar situations.
