Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (NJ)

I am writing to formally file a complaint and follow up regarding Citibank 's failure to comply with my opt-out request. Despite my notification to Citibank to opt out of their marketing and data-sharing practices, I continue to receive communications and see evidence that my personal information is still being shared with third parties. This constitutes a violation of several federal and state laws. 

Under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act ( GLBA ), financial institutions are required to honor consumers ' privacy preferences, including the right to opt out of specific information-sharing practices. Citibank has failed to meet this obligation. As a resident of New Jersey, I am also protected under state privacy laws that mandate organizations respect consumers ' privacy rights, further compounding this violation. Additionally, 15 USC 1681a ( q ) ( 3 ) outlines the permissible purposes for sharing consumer report information. By continuing to share my information without my consent, Citibank is violating this provision. Furthermore, they are non-compliant with the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) by failing to accurately disclose how my personal information is utilized and continuing to send me unsolicited communications that contradict TILA 's disclosure requirements. 

In light of these violations, I request immediate action to ensure that Citibank ceases all unsolicited communications, honors my opt-out request by stopping the sharing of my personal information, and fully complies with the relevant laws.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (FL)

I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (NY)

My accounts 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. 

This was clearly a billing error made my 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 to be removed/updated. 

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 XXXX  days before the payment due date. 

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered XXXX  days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule XXXX and It was never provided. 

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

Issue: Closing an account — Can't close your account
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (IL)

I was unknowingly signed up for the Experian XXXX XXXX XXXX checking account while trying trying to freeze my credit. The process was not clear about an additional account being opened as it seemed as though it was in reference to a user account necessary to the freeze credit process with the agency. I did not know I had this account until I happened to see a message in my email inbox recently. I found out that the account had been opened for a good XXXX months, from when I had requested to freeze my credit. 

Of course, clicking on cancel in the account options screen, they only offer cancellation by phone, which will presumably take quite some time on hold. I will have to go through this process but others should not have to. 

This should not be acceptable for a company that Americans have no choice in relying on to prevent fraud and identity theft. 

Thank you, XXXX
