Issue: Closing your account — Company closed your account
Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (UT)

XX/XX/XXXX is when my credit card with Citibank was closed by the system due to having returned payments, but the bank has not consulted me and their algorithms determined that it was worthy to close my credit card completely without an evaluation on what is going on with me financially at the time. I made several small payments towards the card but underestimated my finances at the time to cover those small payments. Believe the total was XXXX dollars. 

I believe that it is a petty reason to close my credit card without allowing me to pay for those fees along with the monthly payment and just to conclude their service for me. 

They closed the card based on returned payments, and I have been their customer since XXXX.

For the past six months, I have been attempting to resolve a dispute with the credit reporting companies. Despite my repeated efforts, all I receive are letters stating that the issue has been resolved, but the problem persists. Specifically, the companies have failed to address an erroneous charge on my account. I have contacted the credit reporting companies multiple times via mail and phone, submitted formal dispute letters with supporting documentation, and followed up regularly to check the status of my disputes. However, I continue to receive repeated letters stating that the issue has been resolved, but the incorrect information remains on my report. Despite my diligent efforts, the issue has not been corrected, which has adversely affected my credit score and financial standing. I am seeking assistance from the CFPB to resolve this matter promptly and ensure the accuracy of my credit report. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I was looking over my credit profile and noticed an auto loan account that I did not authorize or give my permission to open under my credit profile. I reached out to creditor XXXX XXXX XXXX and they told me to dispute with credit bureaus which I did. The credit bureaus gave me instructions and document I would need which Ive obtain and mailed in certified mail. Since I completed all instructions, theres been no resolution. No communication. The information in their system so screwed up, when I call in to be updated on dispute, I cant access my credit profile due to inaccurate info on my credit profile when doing the verification questions.

In the quiet humdrum of everyday life, a sudden jolt shattered the tranquility : I had become a victim of identity theft. Like a thief in the night, unseen hands had stolen my personal information, plunging me into a bewildering maze of uncertainty. With each fraudulent transaction and unauthorized account, the breach of trust cut deep, leaving me grappling with the unsettling reality of a violated identity. Yet, in the midst of chaos, a glimmer of resilience emerged, a resolve to reclaim what was rightfully mine and restore the harmony stolen by unseen adversaries. These are the following accounts need to be removed :

I am listing accounts below that have been reported inaccurately on my credit report. In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit. This incorrect information is greatly hindering me from getting the credit score I deserve and hopefully, this letter will resolve all the issues on my credit. I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN Hello, I am writing to delete the following information on my credit report. The following items are listed in the report. I am a victim of identity theft. The charges made on the account were not mine. The items need to be deleted as they are inaccurate items on my credit report. The theft of my identity was reported to the federal Trade Commission. Also, I have an enclosed copy of the Federal Trade Commission identity theft affidavit. Please find it in your best interest to delete the items. 


I would like to emphasize the following legal obligations under the FCRA : Under 1681b, a consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report only under specific circumstances, including " In response to the order of a court having jurisdiction to issue such an order, or a subpoena issued in connection with proceedings before a Federal grand jury. '' This provision strictly limits when my consumer report can be furnished, and I do not believe any of these circumstances apply in this case. 


Under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), credit bureaus must conduct a " reasonable reinvestigation '' upon receiving notice of a consumer dispute. I am formally notifying you of this dispute, and I expect a thorough and reasonable reinvestigation of all items I've identified. 


15 U.S. Code 1681b outlines the permissible purposes of consumer reports, including conditions for furnishing and using consumer reports for employment purposes. I do not believe any of these permissible purposes apply to the disputed items on my report. 


15 U.S. Code XXXX XXXX a consumer reporting agency shall block the reporting of any. 
information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from an alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date of receipt. 

15 U.S. Code 1681 Section B ( i ) - Requirements relating to reinsertion of previously deleted material - If a consumer reporting agency removes information from someone's credit file based on the requirements in the preceding section ( A ), the agency can not re-add or reinsert that previously deleted information back into the person 's file unless the entity that originally provided that information certifies that it is complete and accurate.

I am writing regarding my chase sapphire reserve benefits department. On XX/XX/XXXX my rental vehicle was parked and was hit by another driver. I filed with eclaimsline under my rental collision damage protection on XX/XX/XXXX. It is now XX/XX/XXXX and they are still showing my claim is pending. I signed up for this chase sapphire reserve because of the rental collision damage coverage but they do not enforce e claims line to pay the benefits the cars advertises and charges a hefty annual fee for. I have tried repeatedly to reach out to chase card benefits and today spent 45 minutes in hold was transferred twice and no one ever picked up the line. The three prior times I have called they say they are sorry there is nothing they can do and they transfer me to a dead line. I am being billed for this vehicle repair and for the loss of use from the rental car company. I think this is false advertising and fraudulent. This service is not available to chase clients and they do not hold this company responsible but advertise them heavily as a benefit of the card. I am so far unable to get anyone to help me and I am reaching out for help out if desperation. I had all documentation to support the process I have gone through in an tempt to resolve this claim and have now spent over 14 hours total on the phone and emailing and am unable to resolve this. I have checked online and ecalimsline also called XXXX is the benefit administrator for chase they have a 1.2 rating on XXXX  and are not a XXXX  rated company. I have filed with thr OAG of Virginia where they are located and now need to know what I can do to hold chase accountable for the false advertising on their card benefits.

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.

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 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 in 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.

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

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided.

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

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports
