Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Trouble using your card — Can't use card to make purchases
Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (IN)

I charge approximately {$100000.00} per year on various Citi accounts. I may not be Citi 's largest customer but I am surely above average. I ask no special favors. I ask only the minimum level of service Citi advertises. Instead I get harassment over matters outside my control. We use this particular card in my firm for business purchases. A member of my staff told me there was some security problem, and I would need to verify some security information. I did so over the phone with the bank 's representative. A couple of days later, I noticed the website still showed an alert warning on the account. I called the number given and fought my way past recordings, robots, foreign languages and a couple of on-holds and dropped calls. Finally, I reached an agent, but she offered no help at all. She could not explain why the alert was still in place or what I should do about it, if anything. It was a complete waste of my time. She told me a letter would be coming to me in the mail to address the matter. A letter? In the XXXX century? I asked her to explain and resolve it now. She refused and attributed this " procedure '' to " management '', so I asked to speak to management. A woman named XXXX responded. She asked about a single fraudulent transaction that I had already reported earlier. She acknowledged I had reported the item as fraudulent, but she said the bank had not acted on it. I objected to this harassment over a matter that had already been resolved. She said a new card would be sent in 5-7 business days. I told her that is exactly the same thing I have been told before, and I resented having my time wasted with repetitive alerts and calls on the same matter. It is evident that Citi does not care if it wastes customers time.

My account with XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXX  and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. This was clearly a billing error made the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! I demand the late payment reported in on those accounts to be removed. They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law! 15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open-end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date.

On XX/XX/year>, I mailed a dispute letter to Equifax, requesting specific information on how they verified the accuracy of the bankruptcy reporting and other inaccurate information on my credit report. 

Details of the Dispute : XXXX - XXXX, XXXX XXXX - XXXX, XXXX - XXXX, XXXX - XXXX, Public Record Court Name : Federal Reference Number : XXXX Specifically, I requested that Equifax provide the following information : The date you contacted the creditor/furnisher Name of the person who verified the item Method of communication used to verify information Whether the creditor provided XXXX, address, and date of birth Despite my clear and thorough request, and the provision of my driver 's license, a copy of my Social Security card, and proof of address, I have not received any response from Equifax. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), if the completeness or accuracy of any item of information in a consumer 's file is disputed by the consumer, the credit reporting agencies must conduct a reasonable reinvestigation to determine whether the disputed information is inaccurate. 
It appears that Equifax has violated my consumer rights by failing to conduct a reasonable investigation upon receipt of my dispute. This lack of response and investigation is a direct violation of the FCRA, which mandates that credit reporting agencies must ensure the accuracy and completeness of information in consumer credit reports.
