Complaint sub-issue: Problem with paying off the loan

On XX/XX/18 we purchased a new vehicle and traded in a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX who's loan was managed by USBank. Dealership advised the check would be cut within 10 days. On XX/XX/XXXX I called USBank for a status update on the release of my loan and was told initially that the check had not arrived. I went back to the dealership who provided signed copies and signatures that in fact the check had arrived and was accepted. 

I called USBank back and was now told the check had been rejected for insufficient payment. I had a copy of the check and told the agent the amount which was over by around {$100.00} and was again told the amount was insufficient and to have the dealer reissue the check. They did so by overnighting another and gave me the tracking number. 

During this time they cashed the check and when it bounced charged the account fees for this. I called and complained and was told nothing they could do. 

I called back on XX/XX/XXXX to check status of check. Again was told they did not have it but that it can take up to 4 business days to close. I inquired about the payment due that day and cancelled the autopayment after learning of a 10 day grace period as this would be enough time for the loan to clear. 

Instead they cashed the autopayment and told me the overpayment would be sent to the dealership and not me since they paid the loan off. I called my bank and ordered a stop payment as at this point the loan was still overplayed but was now overpaid plus an additional installment. 

Again USBank charged me not only a returned payment fee but now 2 separate late fees. 

Again I called and was told now the account needed {$58.00} to close since it was XX/XX/XXXX and between interest and late payments the account was legitimately short. I demanded the late payments be waived, they declined. I paid the amount and began the complaint process. 

Upon questioning the dealership they apologized profusely and offered to pay the late fees and stated this is a common practice with USBank and they explicitly stopped all loans to them for this reason. 

These people are thieves and never have I had such a problem closing out an auto loan in my life!
Complaint sub-issue: Debt was result of identity theft

I called your company on XX/XX/2020 I contacted your company certified mail, I provided documentation of the XXXX breach and asked for your company to remove this account from my credit file as soon as possible. I also asked for you to provide me with legal debt validation ( Proper paperwork showing how this account was added in my name, documentation with my signature, along with proof that your company is legally allowed to collect this debt from me. As of XX/XX/2020, I have yet to receive any response from your company. 

This is my second attempt to correct this error, your company is fraudulently reporting information to my credit report that legally should not be listed on my credit report or in my name at all. Please remove this account from my credit report as soon as possible, it is impossible for me to owe you any monies, you have also violated ( Section 609 Of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ) by not responding to my debt validation request which is illegal. I really hope this matter can be resolved quickly. 

If this information is not removed from my credit file, I will move forward to a judge in my area to bring this account into small claims court for this fraudulent account being placed on my credit file.

Complaint sub-issue: Debt was paid

I was called and left a voicemail by USI Solutions about collection on a debt owed on XX/XX/XXXX. Was told to call back XXXX and ask for XXXX  XXXX at ext. XXXX with Ref # XXXX. 
I called them on XX/XX/XXXX and the phone was answered by a gentleman named XXXX XXXX. I asked him to speak to XXXX XXXX at ext. XXXX. He said that she was not there and he would help me. He identified himself as the president and owner of the company. He said that he was working the phones for the afternoon. He told me that the debt was for a XXXX XXXX from XXXX and that I owed {$1800.00} however he was willing to take {$1000.00} and call it good. He asked me for a credit card number to collect the money. I told Mr. XXXX that I did not have a credit card to give him and that I needed to talk to my husband. I do not remember having a XXXX XXXX  in XXXX. I told him that I was not going to just give him money for a possible debt that was over 11 years old, especially for something that is not even on my credit report. He told me to look at this as good news, not bad. That as soon as I paid the money that I owed him, he would no longer call me. I told him once again that I wasn't going to give him information over the phone.
Complaint sub-issue: Account information incorrect

XXXX XXXX continues to incorrectly report to the 3 credit bureaus & has done so since 2017 causing me personal damages in EMPLOYMENT< INSURANCE< CREDIT RECOVERY : They report the debt is : CHARGED OFF & PAST DUE & HAS A CURRENT OUTSTANDING BALANCE of {$2100.00} all on the same credit line! 
If the debt was INFACT charged off as they report then there IS NO OUTSTANDING BALANCE because the charge off of the debt on the books was taken as a loss on their financial reporting therefore the report it is OWED & OUTSTANDING is in fact FALSE! 
Additionally the debt was turned over to XXXX XXXX XXXX to settle & pay on my behalf according to them XXXX XXXX turned this debt over to XXXX XXXX collections agency and the payments for the settled amount were made directly to XXXX XXXX as direct by XXXX  XXXX! 
So XXXX XXXX is also incorrectly reporting that it was CHARGED OFF instead of SETTLED + PAST DUE instead of Sent to COLLECTIONS + currently has an OUTSTANDING BALANCE DUE instead of CHARGED OFF!

Complaint sub-issue: Inadequate help over the phone

I have disputed an account that has been in my equifax credit file. This was a car loan that was taken out back in XXXX. I filed bankruptcy in approximately XXXX XXXX this loan went into default 4 month before that which would of started the 7 years of remaining on my credit report in which the credit laws states. This was a chapter XXXX filing or wage earner plan in which this account was under a stay of the united states bankruptcy code. My attorney at that time made incorrect calculations and my case was ultimately dismissed 3 months before its maturity date by the trustee. So in XXXX the firm agreed this was an error on there part and they refilled the case at their expense and I went thru 4 more years of a wage earner plan and this case was finished in XXXX. XXXX is the company that is still reporting derogatory information on my equifax credit report. I have called them numerous times pleading my case with them to remove this old account. They refused by telling me that any time a new agreement is made and it goes delinquent again the 7 year cycle restarts and that they are reporting according to law. The date of first major delinquency was in XXXX not XXXX as they are trying to make their case. They want to have their cake and eat it too and this is n't fair to the consumer and unlawful at that. I feel this is some sort of retaliation for filling bankruptcy to begin with. I have asked equifax to remove this and they told me I have to get first investors to remove it. They will not give me and payment history as they have deleted all that information. They refuse to give me any documentation for a pay history. The way I see it is this if they want to stay with their claim of a XXXX delinquency then I want a pay history from that point showing this account was paid as agreed by the trustee, I brought that point up and she told me they cant do that by law, and I said you cantreport a delinquency of XXXX when it actually occurred in XXXX that is breaking the law. I want this stricken from my credit report and never to return on my report again and I want the government to investigate this company for possible laws they may have violated for reporting this way and if they have broken laws their reporting privileges should be revoked permanently

Complaint sub-issue: Problem with rewards from credit card

CitiBank XXXX XXXX Thank You Rewards Redemption ( cash back program ) On XX/XX/2022 I requested from Citi that my Thank you points ( {$320.00} ) be sent to me by check. Four weeks went by and I haven't received the check so I called XXXX asking about the check. They claimed to have sent the check. So I asked for the outstanding check to be canceled and have another check issued. They agreed. Another 4 weeks went by and I hadn't received the check. I called and was told that the check was returned! LOL I asked for the points ( {$320.00} ) to be returned to my account. On XX/XX/202 I received an email indicating that my points were returned to my account.

As of XX/XX/2022, my {$320.00} have not been deposited to my checking account. The points were returned and then deleted from my account. WHY? Are they trying to wear me out?
