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

My problem is with CitiBank, I received a new card from them in XX/XX/2018, they offered a 0 % balance transfer which I took advantage of, I make all my payments on time I pay more than the minimum amount. I never received a statement from the bank until they sent me a collections notice in the mail, and during this time I was taking my husband to hospitals and numerous doctors as he is a XXXX XXXX   XXXX Veteran XXXX. I informed CitiBank that after my first bill, I always set up automatic payments, they informed me that they would remove this from my report but never did, my score dropped 60 points and it's the only derogatory item on my report and as I pay it down they keep lowering my credit limit to make it look like I'm always maxed out, which keeps lowering my credit score. This is unjustified. Thank you for any assistance.

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

The company did not provide adequate information as to how the information was verified as accurate. 

The company did not provide additional information as to proof they are within legal reporting time limits to report the derogatory information I would like for the derogatory information to remove old outdated information from my credit file. The Department of Education has been reporting for over 7 years that I have or had made a late payment on a student loan account that was once owned by XXXX. The loans were consolidated and have since been submitted to The Department of Education for discharge. I attended XXXX XXXX in 2009 the school was sued and closed down which made me eligible for a loan discharge. The derogatory remarks on my report are damaging. I would like you to consider removing the negative payment from my credit reports. I say this not to justify why my payments were late, but rather to show that the later payments are not a good indicator of my actual current credit worthiness. At the time of the late payment my hours were slowed due to caring for my mother who has now passed. I have been denied credit on several loan request due to these reporting Im unable to get a reasonable house loan and since Covid-19 with the economic impact lenders are hesitate to provide funding at reasonable interest rates. my loans are currently on an administrative deferment due to the class action lawsuit against the Department of Education and currently my application status for discharge is pending. I hope that department of education is willing to work with us on erasing these marks from my credit reports.

I opened a checking account at Citibank with {$200.00} promotion. The account was opened on XX/XX/XXXX at a Citibank branch. The personal banker who helped me and my wife opened the accounts is XXXX XXXX. Her signature is as follow : Personal Banker XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, FL XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX did assure me that the offer was on the account and that I would receive the bonus as long as I deposit {$5000.00} and maintain it for 60 days which I did back in XX/XX/XXXX.

Equifax ; XXXX  and XXXX are showing the XXXX  partial account number XXXX in Charge-off status for the balance amount of {$2400.00}. ( Please see page 6 of the attached credit report. ) This account does not belong to me. I never opened it and am not sure why this account is reporting on my credit report.
Complaint sub-issue: Banking errors

First of all, Citi allowed online application to open the account without any notification about XXXX. Next, tax is deducted on savings interest and does not notify why interest is deducted without notifying even then that XXXX is not available. Only after I reach out multiple times, I am told XXXX is not on file and hence tax is deducted. Then I get a mailing address to send XXXX via US mail. When I followup a week after mailing because the tax is deducted even for the second month, I am told the address I mailed is incorrect because I was given incorrect mailing address. What is so bad is XXXX has complete information that includes full name, address and SSN. Now Citi is asking me to send the XXXX again to another address stating that is correct address. I can not XXXXmagine how bad this is because someone now has my personal information.
Complaint sub-issue: Information is missing that should be on the report

I have been approved by XXXX XXXX XXXX  Credit Card Department for a credit card balance of {$2500.00} I have had the card and have been using the card responsibility for 3 months now, yet, they have not reported the account to Equifax, XXXX and XXXX  Credit Bureaus at all. Please have them ( XXXX XXXX XXXX Credit Card Department ) report this credit card account to Equifax, XXXX  and XXXX  Credit Bureaus as it is positive credit history with a balance of {$00.00} with on time and no late payments, that will inevitably be favorable on my credit report and will help to increase the score.

Complaint sub-issue: Lender trying to repossess or disable the vehicle

Since XX/XX/2022 I have been trying to get some type of understanding of my auto loan with Ally Financial. I have put in two complaints with this company under XXXX XX/XX/2022 and XXXX XX/XX/2022. The company responding back that they are still working on the issues. Ally Financial lied once again to the CFPB and myself because I received a letter today that was dated for XX/XX/2022 stating that my account is now a charge off and they will not be sending the title to the vehicle until I pay {$14000.00}. It stated that my account was a charge off but it was referred to there XXXX XXXX XXXX. So at this point in time it clearly shows that Ally Financial is not a trust worthy company being that they can violate so many of my consumer rights. 

Once again Ally Financial has broken yet another law with out blinking an eye 12 1026.13 Billing error resolution-Based on the Payment history that was received by Ally Financial XXXX XXXX states that the original balance is {$17000.00} with a remaining balance of {$14000.00} left to be paid. The contract on file states that the total sales price is {$27000.00} with my down payment of {$1500.00} there is money not being reported. Under 12 CFR 1026.13 what happened to the {$10000.00} it must be in limbo somewhere? What was supposed to be credited to me the consumer was clearly not. The total financed on the contract states {$27000.00} so what happen to the {$10.00}, XXXX dollars. After doing some calculations on my end the break down is not right in I stated that to the Agent from Ally financial XXXX XXXX when she called me after my first complaint with the CFPB. I have sent my letters of Affidavit, Cease and Deist of contract under my consumer rights of recession. The company still went against 12 CFR 1026.13 ( d ) Billing error resolution because they still counted each month as a missed payment and reported on my credit as a repossession which I have a copy of my report. So is it that Ally Financial can charge off my account and a sneaking way but report to the CFBP that they are working on the issues at two different times but still send me a letter, block my account and report fails information on my credit. Ally Financial is attempting to take advantage of a consumer and continuously lie. I have stated everything that was done in my letters to the company and my complaints with the CFPB. Also, I have uploaded all documents that was needed for my case because I do not trust Ally Financial to do what is right cause clearly they believe they are above the law.
Complaint sub-issue: No notice of investigation status/result

I am filing this complaint because Equifax has ignored my request to provide me with the documents that their company has on file that was used to verify the accounts I disputed being that they have gone past the 30 day mark and can not verify these accounts. Under section 611 ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA- they are required to promptly delete all information which can not be verified that I have disputed. Please resolve this manner as soon as possible. Thank you
Complaint sub-issue: Problem with rewards from credit card

I have had the Citi Sears card since 1995. I have been a responsible cardmember paying my balance off and on time. As it is a Sears branded card, I believed I was earning Shop Your Way Rewards Points. When I log onto my Citi account the Shop Your Way logo is everywhere. When I went into my Sears  Shop Your Way account ( separate website ), I was shocked to see I had {$0.00} in rewards. I called Citi and found out I was in the Thank You rewards program. I have never heard of this program. I asked what were my rewards and they said {$0.00}. There is NO mention of the Thank you rewards program on my account when I log in or on any of my statements. I use my card so I would expect I would have a decent amount of points. Citi only offered to link my card to my Sears Shop Your Way account and I would earn points prospectively. They would not give me any rewards points even for the current statement. So for the years of spending on a Sears branded card where I believed I was earning Shop Your Way points, I have NOTHING! Not one reward point. I feel I was taken advantage of and misled. I should have a decent amount of points. This is extremely disappointing.
