Product: Credit card or prepaid card — Store credit card
Issue: Other features, terms, or problems — Problem with rewards from credit card
Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (AL)

This dispute is for an overcharge by XXXX. 

I bought a Green House for {$320.00}. I had {$230.00} in rewards points/credits on my Wayfair account from my XXXX credit card XXXX So during check out, I applied the {$230.00} points to the {$320.00} item which would be {$97.00} total plus tax ( 8 % is {$7.00} ) on the {$97.00} = {$100.00}. This is what I authorized to be charged on my card XXXX XXXX credit card during check out which is what i used to pay the difference. 

However, I find today that Wayfair charged {$350.00} ( {$320.00} plus tax ) to my XXXX XXXX card and did not apply the {$230.00} in rewards/credit as it was when I checked out during the purchase. I have been over charged {$250.00} because they refuse to apply my Wayfair points. 

I have also advised XXXX that I am unable to use any points during check out and there is something wrong with my account. My pleas to resolve this go unanswered. 

I called Wayfair customer service line at XXXX who told me that they could not help me and that my account would be handled by the " XXXX XXXX XXXX ''. I asked that the XXXX XXXX XXXX call me due to my XXXX in accordance with the Americans with XXXX XXXX. Instead someone by the name of XXXX XXXX from Wayfair started to email me and refused to apply the Wayfair points/credits in my account giving no reason why. They asked for documents showing the points and I gave them the same as I am giving you here. XXXX XXXX just closed the case and did nothing to fix the overcharge or apply the Wayfair points. I spent four hours on the phone and in emails with Wayfair and they refused to correct the overcharge. 

I did NOT agree to the {$350.00} charge on my XXXX XXXX credit card, it just showed up on my XXXX account today. The correct amount I was to be charged for this item was {$100.00} NOT {$350.00}. 

Not being able to use my Wayfair credit card rewards is a violation of the terms and agreement of the Wayfair credit card issued by Citibank N.A.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (FL)

My name is XXXX XXXX, a federally protected consumer, and I am filing this complaint against ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) for furnishing false and misleading information to my consumer report as a means to bring harm to me and my financial reputation. This account is listed as a Charge off on my consumer report as shown in attached exhibit A. This is false and misleading. 

I am aware the definition of a Charge Off, pursuant to 7 CFR 1956.54, is The writing off of a debt and termination of collection activity without release of personal liability.

Im also aware that once a debt is cancelled, it now becomes gross income.

Pursuant 26 U.S. Code 61 ( a ) ( 11 ), Gross income includes income from discharge of indebtedness. 

Was a 1099-C filed on this account? If so, I never received one.

I am aware that a 1099-C must be mailed to consumers by XX/XX/XXXX the following calendar year in which the identifiable event occurs. If your company has mailed me a 1099-C, please provide documentary evidence, such as a tracking number, that proves I in fact received and was aware of a 1099-C.

Knowingly furnishing this false and misleading charge off to my consumer report is a violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2. 

If XXXX XXXX XXXX has filled out a 1099c form and is continuing any kind of collection activity as defined under 31 U.S. Code 3711 ( e ) by performing any of the following conduct ; administrative offset, tax refund offset, referral to private collection contractors, referral to agencies operating a debt collection center, reporting delinquencies to the credit reporting agencies, garnishing wages, pursuing litigation or foreclosure, you are committing tax fraud and should be reported to the IRS for a fraudulent financial gain. 

I am aware and I am invoking my right as the consumer to demand the money audit trial in accordance with 12 U.S. Code 5562 ( c ) ( 10 ). I would need this product of document material as documentary evidence in order to properly address this subject matter and without this documentary evidence there can be no validation of such debt.

Furthermore, in order to validate the debt, please provide verification through audit certification of debt entry in accordance with XXXX, IRS, in accordance with XXXX XXXX, and XXXX conversions. 

If any of the above can not be provided, this account must be removed from my consumer report immediately to prevent further harm to me and my financial reputation.

ExperianXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX shes XXXX accounts incorrectly, the other bureaus have the info right but Experian does not. It shows my XXXX XXXX XXXX account that was charged off reported on XXXX of XXXX and then reported a 180 day late payment on in XXXX of XXXX. This is XXXX YEARS AFTER the charged off date. The debt was charged off by the company we can not make payment to them and therefore its impossible to have a late payment with no balance. They are also showing a balance on the charge off. It shows XXXX charge offs on XXXX account- it can not be charged off every month for 43 months only XXXX charge off can happen and it shows still open which is also inaccurate This is Re-aging of my credit and it illegal. 

In addition ExperianXXXX  XXXX XXXX was charged off on XXXX of XXXX. It wil In our XXXX XXXX XXXX and Experian is showing it suddenly charged off in XXXX of XXXX this is also incorrect and shows a balance. A balance is not possible after a charge off as its been written off by the creditor. The account was closed after the charge off and experian kept reporting it. This is re-aging of my credit and is illegal. 

This has dropped my score over 100 points. Experian is famous for reporting in accurate information. They need to fix it immediately. Its ruining my ability to buy the house we are under contract for. If its not fixed I will file a lawsuit. I have bankruptcy docs to send but CFPB says to not show some of the personal info on the docs. The screenshots below are from the experian site/credit report,

XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX  has taken adverse action against me, with forethought and malice, by furnishing inaccurate and knowingly false late payments to my consumer report without my lawful authority. This adverse action as defined under 12 CFR 1002.2 ( c ) ( 1 ) ( i ), which has the same definition as 15 U.S. Code 1691 ( d ) ( 6 ), has negatively affected my ability to extend credit and operate in commerce. Congress makes it clear that causing a restraint of trade or conspiring to cause a restraint of trade, pursuant to 15 U.S. Code 1, is declared to be illegal to and carries both civil and criminal penalties. My right to privacy and my right to know where and how to direct the disclosure of my nonpublic information in accordance with 15 U.S. Code 6801 ( a ) of the Gramm-Leach Bliley Financial Protection Act, has been violated.

I am aware that not excluding transactions between, I, the consumer, and the creditor is a violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681a ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ). The consumer reporting agencies were not exercising their grave responsibility in respect to impartiality when furnishing this false and misleading information to my consumer report. Reasonable procedures were not taken to insure the accuracy of the information given by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  before furnishing it. This shows that the consumer reporting agencies have shown bias towards me because I never gave my lawful authority for any consumer reporting agency or XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  to furnish any late payments to my consumer report. It is my belief that due to XXXX XXXX business relationship with the consumer reporting agencies, ( such as XXXX, Experian, XXXX ), they parrot any information given to them as a means of coercing consumers to pay extra fees for debts that they allegedly owe.

I have a mortgage with M & T Bank and I truly believe that they have applied my payments or paid off someone else 's mortgage. I have a friend who worked for this bank in the Collections Dept. and told me to call the bank and ask for every payment that I have made, which I did. In which I only received XXXX. I have had my mortgage with them since XXXX. I called to inquire why I only received these dates they in turn told me " Oh we purge files after so many years. '' According to my friend M & T acquired 4 accounts from other banks, and the records were merged. M & T actually paid of several wrong car payments. In XXXX I was struggling to pay my payment ( never once was I late ) and called M & T to see if they had a program to help and I was making Bi-weekly payments, and when I went back to regular monthly payments, I was told that " I took 4 years off of my mortgage. When I called recently they told me that I was not told the truth. My mortgage payments started XXXX a month and when they jumped my mortgage in XX/XX/XXXX it went from XXXX to XXXX as they put it " do to the rise in your taxes '' I was never notified of this and they fought with me and said they did. I called to get a payoff in XXXX of XXXX {$40000.00} I looked the other day and it's XXXX also saw a recoverable corporate advance for XXXX I called the bank and demanded to speak to a supervisor and he said " That was a charge for you trying to refinance last year, which I refused because it wound up being a second mortgage without ever being told. I told " XXXX '' the supervisor that they are hiding things, why I never received ALL the years of payoffs, and he denied the acquisitions then when I mentioned my friend he finally admitted that in fact they did acquire other notes from these banks. XXXX is suppose to send me every payment I made, which will be XXXX years this XXXX. I was also told by XXXX that because my late husband and I lowered our interest rate from 8.5 % to 6 % that counts as a second mortgage this was done over the phone and was never told that this is how it works and I never received any paperwork at all, which seemed very strange to me.I spoke with XXXX on Monday XX/XX/XXXX and he told me he would look into this ASAP and I have never heard another word.
