Issue: Identity theft / Fraud / Embezzlement — 
Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (MA)

In XXXX around the XXXX I received a bill for a Macy 's American express card, that I do n't physically have. My husband and I do not carry any American express cards as we do not care for them. I called Macy 's and talked to customer service and told this the the customer service person and that I did not make those charges. I also asked them to cancel my account, that I did not want an account at Macy 's. The customer service person gave me a case # and told me the information was filed and account canceled and fraud recorded. Then I received another bill on XXXX XXXX saying I now owe {$77.00}. I again called and they said the account was canceled and I needed to fill out a fraud form that the records of my call on XXXX only canceled my account. XXXX XXXX a letter was sent to me to fill out a fraud form, which I did. Then I received a late notice dated XXXX XXXX on my account but now there was a new account number, and I received another bill, this time the bill had the new account number. I called Macy 's back again on XXXX XXXX, 16 at XXXX and was told it was still being disputed but they did cancel the card and issue me a new account, which they were now closing. XXXX who I spoke with said the case number I was given was not a real case number and maybe a new employee gave me wrong information. Again I restated the issue and he said I needed to call the trade commission and gave me the phone number. I called this number and it was not in service. I called back the fraud department of Macy ; s and was told that was the only number they had, that maybe I should XXXX research it. Then I received another letter dated XXXX XXXX, 2016 from Macy 's fraud department to file another form. Which I did! Today XXXX XXXX, 2016 I just received another bill with additional fee 's charged for being late, and now my bill is up to {$150.00} from the original {$49.00}. This is when I finally found a new number to call for the Federal Trade Commission and called because I do not know what else to do, and I am worried about my credit report when I keep getting over dues fees.

every time I apply they turn me down and this lowers my credit score every time. it is also a big waste of my time. if they say that I am qualified, then they had better give me the loan.

In XXXX I paid an outstanding debt to XXXX XXXX and received a letter from the court saying my debt was fully paid. I have attached a copy of that letter from the court. Even though the debt has been paid I still receive harassing phone calls and letters from collection agencies. I have attached a letter sent to me from XXXX XXXX XXXX.

Also they have threatened further legal action even jail. Enough is enough I want something done.

Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed — Debt is not mine
Company: FIDELITY CAPITAL HOLDINGS, INC (CA)

I am a victim of credit extortion originating from a company called XXXX. They were connected with a collection agency called Fidelity Information Corporation. FIC has recently ceased operations and has since turned over collections to another collection agency called Fidelity Creditor Services. For a small fee of less than {$25.00} Olddebts.com allows unscrupulous individuals to submit an online claim of debt for any amount desired requiring no proof of validity, how the debt was calculated, or verification the right person is being reported. XXXX states they are not a collection agency. They were however represented by FIC who reports a negative to the CRA 's. All requests for validation made to FIC or FCS are ignored. The consumer is left with no recourse other than conventional means to combat a virtual debt that does n't actually exist. The CRA 's will only accept an automated electronic response from collection agencies to their investigations. Any proof from consumers to the CRA 's of FCRA violations made by collection agencies are not accepted. Fidelity keeps knowingly perpetuating a false claim while holding my ability to obtain credit as hostage. Any and all requests for validation made to Fidelity are ignored. In my case they are unable to produce proof because the debt never existed. The website Olddebts.com clearly states they do not require any validity of debt from their clients while ensuring negative claims against innocent consumers are reported.

Issue: Customer service / Customer relations — 
Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (PA)

Due to unexpected health issues and being hospitalized, I was under financial restraints and distracted by physical recovery that most of my finances and credit accounts suffered. I have been in communication with the companies where accounts were affected and I am on XXXX XXXX to getting my accounts back into good standings. I had a phone conversation with someone from Citi and made a payment to bring my account back below the allowed credit limit. I also made a verbal commitment to pay $ 100 monthly until the account was at a {$0.00} balance. I was told the payment I made and the verbal commitment were enough to keep the account open and active. A week later I received a letter from a collection agency for the remaining balance owed from my Citi credit card account. Frustrated I contacted Citi once again and was mistreated by the collections department. I feel as though I was misinformed during both interactions with the company. I feel as though I made efforts to inform them of why my account got backed up. I also made a payment out of good faith and verbal confirmation that the account would remain open and active. I even mentioned to the collections department, that if the original representative was honest with me and told me the amount I paid and verbal commitment were n't enough to keep the account open. Then I would have been able to make different arrangements to settle the balance without Citi canceling my account and selling it off to a third party collections agency.

Issue: Billing statement — 
Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (IL)

I did not receive a statement via email from Macy 's credit card. As a result I missed a payment of XXXX {$35.00} ( the total balance on the account ). I was charged for XXXX late payments in subsequent billing cycles still without any notice that I had missed a payment or a monthly statement. I finally received a call after the XXXX missed cycle. The missed payment was also reported to the credit bureaus. 

I requested that they update the late payment report to the credit bureaus as I did not receive a statement or a late notice until after the second cycle. They refused to update the credit report. I also requested proof that they had sent me a statement or a notice of late payment via email. They stated they could not provide that proof. 

I never received notice of my statement or a late payment from Macy 's. 

Prior to this, I had a credit balance with them and have never missed a payment.

Equifax ; XXXX  and XXXX  are reporting incorrectly a collection in the amount of {$220.00} on the XXXX partial account number XXXX. ( Please see page attached from my credit report. ) I had scheduled a time for XXXX XXXX to come and do the installation however, their technician was a no-show. I immediately contacted customer service with XXXX XXXX  and told them that their technician never bothered to show up and never communicated with me why he was a no-show. I cancelled my service and I was told by the representative at XXXX XXXX since their technician failed to show up for his appointment that cancelling would not result in my owing any money on this account and that this account was in fact closed. I did not know that XXXX XXXX had sent me to collections until I obtained a copy of my credit report. This false reporting of a collection is seriously harming my credit score and these line items need to be removed from my credit report. I have contacted the ( 3 ) bureaus to remove this however, I have not been successful.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (GA)

I submitted a complaint with Experian for allowing information to be reported to my credit after it was reported as fraud. I got an email from them that the documentation was n't acceptable or that they needed something additional. I have attached that snippet to this complaint. I submitted a valid/approved police report from my local state agency. They are asking for all of the pages. I submitted all of the pages. It was only one page. It has the officers name that approved it, with the date, time, and the state agency that approved it. There is nothing else that goes along with it. I called the agency and they said that there is nothing else that the bureaus should need. They did advise me that I have the right to file a small claims lawsuit against them if they continue to give me any issues. I will be doing so this week if I get another email stating that what I have sent over is n't acceptable which is letting me know that the cfpb, experian is all working together. I am also waiting to see what the outcome will be in regards to my complaint with the ftc. All I want is for them to remove the XXXX XXXX XXXX that was just reported, which should n't have been because it was just removed and XXXX XXXX XXXX needs to be removed as well as I have been stating for the past couple of weeks. I am beginning to think that they are refusing to remove the information and if that is the case I will be taking further action. I look forward to this being resolved. 

XXXX also allowed an item to be reported to my report as Fraud and that was XXXX XXXX XXXX. It was reported on XX/XX/XXXX. That needs to be removed as well as it was fraud. I have sent them over a fax with the same information along with my police report and I have n't gotten a response.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (NC)

In XX/XX/2023 I used a Lowes Credit Card to purchase a new refrigerator. Lowes delivered the refrigerator, and it was defective. After confirming the defective status with a technician, I went back to Lowes in XX/XX/2023. 

I purchased a second new refrigerator, again on the Lowes Credit Card. This was a different refrigerator, it was a separate charge on the Lowes Credit Card. 

When the second refrigerator was delivered, Lowes took the defective unit with them. I asked if I needed to sign any paperwork, and I was told no. I was told the charge for the defective unit would be refunded within a few days. 

As of this writing, XX/XX/2023, I have not been refunded for the defective refrigerator that Lowes took with them. I have both called and gone to Lowes several times, and am always told the refund is " processing ''. 

Since Lowes is unable to help, today I have filed a dispute with Synchrony Bank, attached. I am asking for CFPBs assistance resolving this dispute.
