They have a robo dialer calling the number. I have not received anything in writing saying I owe a debt and to my knowledge I do not. The robo dialer simply plays a recording telling me to call them.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (NY)

This is a classic " bait and switch '' case in which a Citi broker provided misleading information in order to try to close a deal. The result is that it is adding a month to my closing date and putting the deal in jeopardy. My wife, our dog and I are now in rotating short term housing, paying a fortune in rent due to this misinformation. Added to this, a total lack of communication, and you have a hugely frustrating and expensive situation - all due to the broker 's greed. 

What happened : We are in the process of buying a house in XXXX. We were working with XXXX mortgage brokers to make sure we got the best deal. We went ahead and ordered appraisals through XXXX XXXX and Citi. XXXX XXXX came back on XXXX XXXX 2015 with a favorable appraisal ( in writing ). Citi had offered a lower interest rate and, worried that XXXX XXXX was going to get the deal, advised on Monday XXXX XXXX that their appraisal on the house was higher than XXXX XXXX. I therefore advised XXXX that I was going to go with Citi. XXXX then cancelled the application. There was no communication from Citi all week when I tried to set a closing date. They did n't respond to calls and emails all week. They then emailed at XXXX on Friday stating that their appraisal was much lower than confirmed on the phone and if I wanted financing for the house at the previous level there would be all kinds on new costs and restrictions including having to keep assets of $ 100k in a Citi account prior to and after closing. 

Again, scurrilous sales practices paired with no communication after makes for very unethical behavior.

" I obtained a copy of my consumer report and notified these agencies multiple times, specifically on XX/XX/2024 and XX/XX/2024, about the items I disputed. Despite these notifications, the matter remains unresolved in a manner that is fair and equitable to me, the consumer, as required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. I sent my notice to these agencies, which included a FTC Identity Theft Report, A FTC Affidavit and I also filed a complaint with the CFPB. Along with this letter, I have also included an Affidavit of XXXX to further substantiate my claim. 

I explained the violations your agency committed under the FCRA, while informing your agency of the fact that these items were reported without my expressed, written consent. This leads to way of identity theft, which leads to a violation of the civil liability section of the FCRA, as I informed you in the previous notices, which I have attached once more again for your record! 

This is a FINAL NOTICE to give your agency an opportunity to correct this situation or I will be forced to protect my credit rating and file a lawsuit against your agency. I have proven to your agency on many occasions that these items are a violation of the FCRA and should in fact be DELETED but your agency continues to violate me so I dont know what else to do besides suing your agency at this point. 

I have suffered emotional distress as a result of this matter and I demand this matter be resolved in a fair and equitable manner, which still hasnt been done

Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (AL)

I believe Wells Fargo violated The Truth in Lending Act ( TILA, also known as regulation Z ), which requires lenders to disclose information about all charges and fees associated with the loan. 
My husband and I have applied and were approved for Wells Fargo Credit Card In XXXX of XXXX. The credit card was advertised as 0 % interest for the first 12 months. 
However, after 12 months of using the card and making regular timely payments, we were charged a very large interest amount, which was the interest for the whole first 12 months. The amount was {$2200.00} and it was charged in XXXX XXXX ( see statement attached ). Note, it was NOT interest on current balance, it was interest for the whole first 12 months, which was advertised to be 0 %. 
I have reached out to Wells Fargo and stated that they advertised 0 % interest for the first 12 months, but ended up charging all that interest in XXXX payment after 12 months. I stated that it was false advertisement and requested {$2200.00} refunded. Wells Fargo responded stating that my husband and I signed the disclosure outlining the fact that first 12 months interest will be charged after 12 months. Neither me nor my husband remember signing that disclosure. I asked Wells Fargo to provide the signed disclosure, but I later received a letter from them stating they were unable to locate the disclosure ( see the letter attached ). I was also told by Wells Fargo over the phone that every monthly statement we received had the information about interest for the first 12 months being charged in bulk after 12 months. However, I have inspected all monthly statements and can confirm that it is not true, that information is not on the statements ( see attached ).

My account with those creditors was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX  XXXX and all payments were placed on XXXX. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment.

Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).
