Complaint sub-issue: Problem with fees

On XX/XX/21, I contact Citi customer service to confirm my payoff. I spoke with customer service representative ( CSR ) ( XXXX ) and confirmed my credit card payoff balance was {$10000.00}. That amount was confirmed with the CSR as the total amount I owe to bring my account to XXXX. A check for the entire payoff was mailed to Citi prior to the due date of XX/XX/21. The check was paid by my bank. On or about XX/XX/21, I received a statement from Citi with a balance of {$240.00}. On or about XX/XX/21, I spoke with CSR XXXX, and was told he would override the charges to reflect XXXX based on my communication with the previous CSR confirming the payoff amount and my having paid the account balance in full. On XX/XX/21, I received written communication from Citi that it was determined that my account was not eligible for a credit, essentially meaning my account still had a balance, although I had paid it off, with no new charges in over a year. This was not in line with what two Citis CSR had previously communicated. I paid this account in full based on my communication with Citis representative and my records, including a check. If Citi wanted to dispute the payoff that should have been done prior to my making the payment. The CSRs never communicated an additional charge would be reflected on my account.

Complaint sub-issue: Problem with statement of dispute

I sent a dispute to Equifax in XX/XX/XXXX to dispute late payments. I sent them proof ( copies of my forbearance approval from XX/XX/XXXX-XX/XX/XXXX ). They only updated the late payments for XX/XX/XXXX. I again sent them my entire forbearance history and was told that it was updated by the grantor. They didnt even look at the information I sent to them. From my understanding, they 're suppose to verify the information and have my files that the lender send to them on file. Not refer to the Grantor for confirmation. 

They were removed the loans form my report then got a notice the following day that it was updated. 

I want the loans to be removed from all XXXX credit agencies as they 're not reporting the correct late payment dates and are suppose to update according to the information sent to them. 

I also attempted to reach direct to XXXX but I was n't able to get any help with updated my history which resulted to me contacting the credit agencies.

Complaint sub-issue: Account information incorrect

As of XX/XX/2020 my Equifax score was a XXXX. On XX/XX/2020 that score dropped XXXX points to a XXXX. This drop was supposedly due to a credit limit decrease with XXXX XXXX from XXXX to XXXX. However at the time this credit limit decreased my credit balances decreased by {$860.00} ( itemized and listed below ) which should have been enough to sustain my score instead off causing it to do take a tremendous dive. Additionally, I received a credit limit increase of over {$4000.00} for my XXXX XXXX XXXX I have also received XXXX other credit limit increase and my score has still not gotten back to normal. 

When this incident occurs my Transition score was not affected and is still a XXXX. Please fix this reporting issue.

Complaint sub-issue: Received bad information about your loan

Late XX/XX/2020 I received a letter telling me that Fed Loan servicing could not approve my public service forgiveness because my employer did not put his name and title on the public service employment certification form. I researched and saw that the information was indeed on the form. I called the FedLoan servicing company and asked why they sent me the letter because the information is on the form. The man I spoke with reviewed form I submitted and verified that the employer representative had included his name and title. He said he would correct the mistake. 

Today, XX/XX/2020, I received a letter dated XX/XX/2020 stating that FedLoan servicing could not approve my public service forgiveness because my employer 's EIN was missing from the form. This is NOT TRUE. The EIN is on the form. All required fields were completed on the form. I find it egregious and irresponsible that this organization is not properly doing its due diligence to ensure that they are properly managing consumers ' form when they send in the requested required paper work. Their ineffectiveness, incompetence, and inefficiency is causing me undue and unnecessary stress during an already stressful time ( Coronavirus pandemic ). 

I have attached a copy of the document that I sent to them. My PII is redacted.
Complaint sub-issue: Debt is not yours

ERC FOR {$79.00} &??? WHY??? I was shocked when I reviewed my credit report this week and I found multiple inaccuracies on my credit report from the 3 major credit bureaus from a collection company that I never have dealt with before. I've attempted to ratify the issue with the original creditors and credit bureaus and they still reporting inaccurate, unverifiable information. I have disputed this item with the credit reporting agency and they reported you confirmed the account as valid. I honestly do not believe to ever have any relationship with this collection agency or original creditor. Also there are several inaccuracies with this account the way it's reporting and that's a total violation of FCRA and FDCPA laws and regulations. In a good faith effort to resolve the matter amicably, I must demand proof of this debt, specifically the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature, as well as proof of your authority in this matter. Absent such proof, you must correct any erroneous reports of this past debt as mine. I am writing to request that you please provide the following information : 1. Please evidence your authorization under 15 USC 1692 ( e ) and 15 USC 1692 ( f ) in this alleged matter. 2. What is your authorization of law for your collection of information? 3. What is your authorization of law for your collection of this alleged debt? 4. Please evidence your authorization to do business or operate in this state. 5. Please evidence proof of the alleged debt, including the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature. 6. Please provide a complete account history, including any charges added for collection activity. 
You have 30 days upon receipt of this letter to provide strict proof of contract. In the event you can not provide strict proof of contract, you must cease and desist any and all collection efforts and immediately remove any derogatory information reported to the consumer reporting agencies. In addition, you will need to provide me your agreement, in writing, that you are closing your file, ceasing collecting activity, and deleting all information related to this reference number from any and all credit reports youve furnished the information to. In the event you transfer this account to an attorney without providing proof of contract, and proving your claim, he/she will be immediate reported to the XXXX XXXX XXXX  and XXXX XXXX XXXX  for code of ethics violations.
Complaint sub-issue: Personal information

To whom it may concern : I am writing in regards to some startling errors on my credit report. My name is XXXX XXXX, and XXXX XXXX is my daughter 's name. I have never used the name XXXX XXXX, and therefore require that it be removed from my credit report. All variations of my name on your records are either not current or just wrong, since the only names I have ever used are XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX, but only while I was married, and XXXX XXXX, in XXXX, I returned to my maiden name, XXXX. I am contacting you to correct these errors, because they are hurting my daughter 's credit report, as it seems you have us as the same person. My daughter has been working on correcting her credit report as well, since a lot of my information can also be found on her record. Also, my birthdate is reported incorrectly on my credit report. I was born on XXXX XXXX, 1954, not in XXXX XXXX, 1954, as it is reported. 

I have lived at my present address : XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, MA XXXX, for XXXX years. I lived at XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, MA, XXXX, before that. I have NEVER lived in : XXXX, XXXX, XXXX or in XXXX. My daughter has lived in some of the following addresses, not me, yet these addresses can be found under my XXXX daughters record as well. My daughter and I have different social security numbers, and we share the same first name, and XXXX last name, and in the past, the same address. I need my financial account separated from that of my daughters, because of these errors, when my daughter requests a change of address, my mail is also redirected to her new address, since in my credit report I am reported as having lived where she has erroneously. Lastly, I have some defaulted student loans and they do not show-up on my credit report and I fear they may be lurking under my daughter 's credit report. I need help in removing my daughters name and addresses from my account, in the hopes of separating our financial records. I have provided documentation to prove my name and addresses, along with my student loans, which should be under my name. Thank you for your attention in this matter. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint sub-issue: Account information incorrect

My husband XXXX and I are in the process of getting a mortgage for a home. The credit report came back with one derogatory account under me. ELAN Financial Services was the creditor for the XXXX XXXX  credit card account. I had a checking, savings, and credit card through XXXX XXXX. I closed them out via phone call in XX/XX/XXXX. However, according to Elan Fin Svc, the credit card was still opened and charged on XXXX XXXX by XXXX plus late fees and interest since the checking account was closed. The remaining balance was paid off after realizing the error on XXXX XX/XX/XXXX and the credit card account was closed as well. This error was due to XXXX XXXX  failing to close out the credit card account when asked to close all accounts in my name, and neglected to inform me that it was still open. My credit score then tanked and we were out close to {$200.00} on something originally only {$25.00}.
