Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (KY)

On XX/XX/XXXX, I was contacted by text from my credit card provider, CITI requesting authorization for a transaction in the amount of {$400.00} at XXXX 's home improvement. I immediately responded with no and I was asked to call and confirmed and next steps were to immediately close my account and issue new cards. I received a phone call the next day while I was in a work meeting requesting additional information. I returned the call later that day, but after waiting on hold for nearly XXXX hour i was told that the system was down. On XX/XX/XXXX, I noticed that the transaction dispute ended and no credit was issued. I called and was told someone from the fraud department contacted me on XX/XX/XXXX. I provided the same information again. I was told that the transaction was pushed through by the merchant despite my notification. I was told that the transaction would be placed back in dispute status and I would receive a message regarding the outcome. I logged on today, XXXX to learn that the dispute had been cleared again with no credit. I called again and was told that the transaction had already been approved at the time that they contacted me and steps taken to reduce the risk of fraud did not mean I was entitled to the transaction credit. I have no doubt that CITI we'll continue to invent excuses and explanations as to why my transaction should not be credited in the current dispute.

XXXX : XXXX XX/XX/2024 Equifax, XXXX, and Equifax Subject XXXX Dispute of Negative Items on Credit Report Dear XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX I am writing to formally dispute the multiple negative items listed on my credit report, as provided by your agencies. I request a thorough investigation of these items, as I believe they are inaccurate and in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

The negative items I wish to dispute are as follows : XXXX. XXXX XXXX  ( Equifax, XXXX, XXXX ) XXXX. XXXX Bank XXXX XXXX, XXXX ) XXXX. XXXX XXXX ( XXXX, XXXX ) XXXX. XXXX XXXX ( XXXX, XXXX ) XXXX. XXXX XXXX Bank XXXX XXXX, XXXX ) XXXX. Department of Education XXXX XXXX, XXXX ) XXXX. XXXX XXXX Bank XXXX XXXX, XXXX ) XXXX. XXXX XXXX ( XXXX, XXXX ) XXXX. ALL INQUIRIES NOT TIED TO AN ACTIVE ACCOUNT. 

These negative entries are related to adhesion contracts, which I believe are inherently unfair and may not represent a true reflection of my creditworthiness. I am requesting that you provide validation of these debts, including the original creditor information and any signed agreements.

Additionally, I have concerns regarding the involvement of your agencies in practices that may be construed as peonage. Peonage is an illegal system of involuntary servitude and is punishable under federal law. Should I find that these negative items are not only inaccurate but also tied to predatory practices, I will take further action to protect my rights.

Please investigate these matters and inform me of the results at your earliest convenience. I appreciate your attention to this issue, and I expect a response within the XXXX timeframe as mandated by the FCRA. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX : XXXX
