Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (TN)

I filed formal complaint that was ignored my previous request and failed to maintain reasonable procedures in your operations to assure maximum possible accuracy in the credit reports you publish.

Under federal law, Equifax had thirty ( 30 ) days to complete your investigation from the date you received my dispute.

Credit reporting laws ensure that bureaus report only 100 % accurate credit information and every step must be taken to assure the information reported is completely accurate and correct. stating that your investigation was complete and the items listed were Verified. My initial dispute was detailed and directly related to the account in question. A template response will not be an acceptable response. The information was not supplied in a timely manner as detailed in several laws, including but not limited to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, I must immediately demand the permanent removal of this item from my credit report. 
Here is a list of items that were sent in my initial dispute letter that now must be deleted from your database.

Issue: Managing an account — Deposits and withdrawals
Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (CA)

On XX/XX/XXXX I opened an account online with Citibank, the next day I went in and used a settlement check for {$22000.00} as my opening deposit. On XX/XX/XXXX I tried to withdraw some funds and was told that there was an issue with the check so a hold had been placed on my account. I tried calling customer service for some answers and all I got was that the check was fraudulent. I went to the bank on XXXX and spoke with XXXX XXXX and showed him proof that the check was not fraudulent and he told me that the notes on the account said it had been verified. He copied what I had brought in and said he'd contact me. On XX/XX/XXXX I called him and went back to the bank and he said from what he found that the check was good so we called the fraud department. After speaking with them I was told the issuer needed to call and verify the check. On XXXX the issuing insurance company did that and so I went back to the bank as instructed and we called fraud and they proceeded to find it necessary to re-verify the check with the issuer, which they did. I was then told that the hold would be removed and I could then access my funds in 24-48 hours. On XX/XX/XXXX I called to find out the status of the hold only to be told it had been rescinded and that I must now wait 30-60 days for them to send me a check. I went back to the bank and once again XXXX XXXX called the department handling the issue and was told they refused to remove the hold and would not expidite returning my funds. This, in no way, was my fault and had the first person that decided that not only my check was fraudulent but lied and said it had been verified as such had done their due dilligence and actually called the issuer then we wouldn't be where we are now. I simply want the hold taken off my account and my funds returned to me, in cash, from the bank. I do plan on going on social media with this as well as contacting the local news so more people don't have the same experience. Nobody should be falsely accused of fraud and then have to jump through the banks hoops to end up suffering the consequences from a bank error that should've never happened to begin with.

I was in XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX and I bought the below boat rides, taxis and tours from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  for {$230.00} on XX/XX/XXXX. 

1. Boat ride from pier to XXXX XXXX - 20 minute boat ride ( completed but took us to the wrong pier / opposite side of the island ) 2. One-Day 3 island tour - service not provided/ they never showed up 3. XXXX XXXX to XXXX XXXX XXXX Speedboat- service not provided/ they never showed up XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX to XXXX ( Ferry  ) - service not provided/ they never showed up XXXX. XXXX XXXX to Airport- service not provided/ they never showed up The company started by taking us to the wrong island, so we had to find another boat to get to where we needed to go to and didn't get there until nearly XXXX. Then, the tour company messaged us saying we needed to come back at XXXX to find new times because his drivers/boat people aren't available. We said no and that it was already XXXX and we're not getting up early to go and revise all this and he needs to honor the times we agreed to. We told him if he doesn't do this, we need our money back and he said no. 

The next morning, the tour company never showed up and neither did anyone else for the other tours/ ferries ( items 2 - 5 ). 

I first disputed the transaction on XX/XX/XXXX with Apple Card support received a rejection / denial on XX/XX/XXXX saying " The merchant charged you the same amount that you intended to and did pay for your purchase '' I refiled the same day, and on XXXX I was told " We further investigated the dispute and reviewed any additional information that may have been provided. Based on our review, the original decision will remain because there is no evidence to substantiate the claim '' I refiled again and on XX/XX/XXXX was told " We further investigated the dispute and reviewed any additional information that may have been provided. Based on our review, the original decision will remain because there is no evidence to substantiate the claim '' I have repeatedly provided Apple the entire XXXX XXXX where the tour company is telling us they can't deliver on the tours we purchased, a map of showing where they dropped us off and where we should of been, plus a long 13 point email of detailing everything that happened. They did not show up for any of this, and all Apple Card has done is provide copies of the receipts that the tour company provided them- which I already have.

Company: CITIZENS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. (FL)

I have been engaged in ongoing communication with Citizens Bank in relation to their online banking services, with particular emphasis on their mobile application designed for the management of debit cards. Regrettably, I have observed an apparent malfunction in the functionality of the " Manage Debit Card '' feature within the mobile application. Despite my efforts to address this concern, I have been in correspondence with their IT Department without resolution.

This issue came to my attention approximately one week ago, precisely on XX/XX/XXXX. The persisting inability to rectify this matter has led me to a point of frustration. Furthermore, it has come to my notice that their online banking services intermittently experience outages during the course of the day. However, I wish to emphasize that my primary concern revolves around the malfunctioning mobile application 's inability to facilitate the crucial " freeze '' and " unfreeze '' functions for my debit card. This functionality is pivotal, as it enables me to exercise control over the security of my finances without the necessity of resorting to the toll-free customer service line. 

It is pertinent to mention that this issue is manifesting across both XXXX and XXXX platforms, thereby making it platform-agnostic. I would appreciate a prompt and comprehensive resolution to this matter, as it directly impacts my ability to manage and safeguard my financial assets effectively. Your attention to this concern is greatly appreciated.
