Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (AL)

I received a call from citibank regarding a past due balance. I advised them that I had not used the card. I entered the call with the dispute resolution specialist authenticated. When I spoke with her she seemed to be telling me that the only way she could dispute the transaction is if I would give her my full social security number and other personal information as well as verify whether the purchase was made near my home. When I asked about what was purchase, where, and how much she would not give me the information. I checked my credit and there was an alert that a previously inactive card had been used in XXXX for XXXX. Since the company would not process my dispute of the transaction, I disputed it on the credit reporting website. The company continues to call trying to collect payment several times a day. When I call them I just go directly into their payment menu. I don't have the card to get the number from. Now, when I answer their call I just go directly into the automated payment menu.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (GA)

I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the XXXX, Experian, and XXXX data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: PENNYMAC LOAN SERVICES, LLC. (NY)

Dear CFPB, I want to file complain on my lender Pennymac. They have my mortgage on the property of for many years. In preparation of the sell of my property, I called in on various times of preparation for the final pay off letter. I called them in XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX to ask the agents of the process. Both time, they made it seem pretty easy and informed me all I need to do is call the day before the scheduled closing with no additional disclosures. I asked about the payoff letter dates. They provided the information even if the date of the letter is after our actual closing date, that we will get back the extra interest that we pay. In hearing that, I waited to right before our closing date to call to request the letter. Our closing of the sell of the property then was scheduled for XX/XX/XXXX. Thus I called them on XX/XX/XXXX and they got me the letter the same date. The agent indicates that the letter is generated to XX/XX/XXXX. I inquired then if our closing date is XX/XX/XXXX, then does that mean, we will get back all the interest from the date they receive our final paid off to the date of the letter. The agent confirmed yes, overages will be sent back. Our closing went smoothly and pennymac received the pay off on XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX I called pennymac and received the same expectation that we will get back the extra interest but later the month on XX/XX/XXXX I called and XX/XX/XXXX I called after nothing sent. A representative on XX/XX/XXXX helped submit a research and then on XX/XX/XXXX they called back. They indicate that I was not entitle to any interest refund as the type of loan we had meant that no matter which date we paid off the loan ( XX/XX/XXXX ), we still had to paid the full month of interest. They indicate that they reviewed all my calls and that they did not give me any misleading information. I ask them for me to get a copy of those calls as from my recollection, my understanding of the answers they give me was no problem, I will get the interest back of the XX/XX/XXXX date to XX/XX/XXXX. I feel I got cheated of around {$1000.00} of interest because of this. If we were aware of this, there is no reason for us to not schedule our closing date before XX/XX/XXXX and be cheated of a full month of interest. Pennymac refuses to make me a whole and indicate they are of no wrong. I fully feel I been wronged and they are not giving fair disclosure and guidance to their clients on this process. They owe me money for their misleading information.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Old information reappears or never goes away
Company: Red River Credit Corporation (AR)

Company has stated that I re opened a loan in XXXX when I did not. Also they keep reporting different amounts and payment dates over time for the last 5 years. I have requested documentation and proof and then they re-hit my credit with more negative notes and different payment information. I show several different balances since XXXX when I originally began to try to fix my credit. I offered to see what repayment options I had to help pay the debt originally though the loan was a third party or straw purchase loan for someone else. The loans were for an ex I had for several years but she had limited income and could not get approved. I attempted to call and was always threatened with being sued, once I lost my job and we separated I wrote the loan off as something I would attempt to resolve should they ever allow me to and provide an accurate amount owed. The biggest issue is that the company never provided accurate information and the time lapse for the loan to fall off of my reports has passed. But instead of taking it off my reports they continue to change, alter, miss represent, fictitiously claim I made payments, and other malicious acts to continue to keep the infractions on my reports so they can continue to harm my credit. It is not ethically right and should be or possibly even could be illegal. Please help me resolve this issue so I can continue on with my life, they have written the loan off for a profit loss years ago and it does not harm them at all any longer, has not in over 8 years. Attached I have added several random different credit reports I can pull from different apps and statement stuff I have available from XXXX to XXXX, you can see major reporting differences and even were XXXX recent shows my balance at {$160.00} and XXXX recent shows I made several payments in XXXX, XXXX, XXXX and even XXXX? From my understanding the credit agencies all should benefit in my favor over this with the proof that I am sending. This account should be deleted in full and taken off of my reports. It is not fair at all that I continue to suffer and have major issues because this false reporting and lying that has been done.

I request that you investigate these unauthorized inquiries and remove them from my credit report.

Section 609 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681g ) grants me the right to access all information in my file, including the inquiries made. After reviewing this information, I firmly believe that the inquiries listed above should not be on my report.

Section 604 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681b ) defines the permissible purposes for obtaining credit reports. I did not give my consent for these inquiries to be made, and I can not find a permissible purpose under this section that justifies their presence on my report.

Request I request an immediate investigation into the listed inquiries. If it is determined that these inquiries were made without my authorization or in error, I ask that they be removed from my credit report. I also request that you provide me with an updated copy of my credit report once the necessary corrections have been made. 
Enclosed is a copy of my identification to verify my identity. 
I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter. Please confirm receipt of this letter and keep me informed of the progress of your investigation.
