" The banking system is contingent upon equitable and accurate credit reporting, as stated in the equitable Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ). The banking system 's efficacy is directly impacted by inaccurate credit reports, and the public 's confidence is undermined by unfair credit reporting methods, which are essential for the system 's continued operation.

Therefore, the efficiency of the finance system is compromised whenever the FCRA is violated. This is a violation of my privacy with respect to my consumer report, as I have the authority to determine which items are included and which are not. Identity theft is the act of reporting any accounts without my written consent.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This results in civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n. The law permits a {$1000.00} fine per violation for each account listed without my expressed written assent.

I reviewed my consumer reports and observed accounts that I had never granted anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have taken on a critical role and are obligated to report consumer information with the utmost accuracy, as the Fair Credit Reporting Act explicitly stipulates. I did not provide written consent to report them. I am expressing my dissatisfaction with the contents of the attached file. ''

The account was posted as an eviction which is very malicious and intended to keep me from getting other apartments i have been fighting with them since i moved out in 2019. When i did move in there was a list of problems/repairs that needed to be done and kept being ignored until right before i was getting ready to move out. The quality of work done in previous repairs caused some of the problems i experienced while living there. The ceramic tile in the bathroom was installed incorrectly leaving the tile vulnerable to weight and or normal wear and tear damage. The tile eventually cracked and needed to be replaced and caused one of my friends to get injured while standing on the tile. The door frame holding the front door was old and the places used to screw the door had become work so the front door had to be lifted to get it to close. It would not just close normally. The walls in the rest room were extremely thin so when the door was closed and shower was running the walls would be damp from moisture and over time small holes started appearing in the walls. The air conditioner went out in the unit and it took them several weeks to get a replacement installed even once that happened it was never cool as it was before. I asked if they had any fans at least they had nothing so i was forced to purchase a portable air conditioner for {$400.00} to use it caused me electrical problems as the unit required more power so other things had to be unplugged to use the unit.

I was refunded from XXXXXXXX XXXX  {$1100.00} for canceling a procedure with them. They refunded me on XX/XX/XXXX and provided a receipt. My account was closed months prior so I was unable to receive it. XXXX XXXX claims the funds have not been returned to them. 

I have called CitiBank multiple times to receive my payment. On XXXXXXXX XXXX They have lied and told me a check was on the way to me. I called back and discovered that wasnt true. They then told me the funds were in the bank ledger and I would have to visit a branch. There are no branches in the state of Texas. I then called back to see if I could get a check written to me. They gave me the run around stating my account was closed, then they said that payment was XXXX to me. They hung up on my face. I got in contact with one last person who stated a check would be mailed out.

I do not believe anything they say. They are very incompetent and do not know what they are doing. Multiple supervisors are telling me different thing. If this was a small amount I would have let this go. This is over {$1000.00} and they are keeping my money hostage from me.

They informed me at one point I would have to send a letter to POSSIBLY see if the check can be mailed to me. Why would I do that if I am getting the run around. Why go through months of mailing back and forth o only to possibly be wasting my time. 

I have the receipt of the transaction. They are refusing to track the payment using the XXXX number.

My husband and I have totally depleted our financial resources and can no longer make our house payments. We are in our mid XXXX, I am retired, he needs to. We did some amateur research and decided to investigate possibility of " Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure ''. Our house payments have been going to Bank Of America so that was our first call on XXXX XXXX, 2017. We endured XXXX transfers to differing individuals, all of whom wanted to talk about re-finance options. Since we can not even afford utilities we can not stay in this house. We explained that to each person and each responded with " I can not help you with that. May I transfer you to ____ who can give you that info? '' The third person was more determined to sell us on refinance but finally got the message and said we needed to talk to our Investor about that as BOA is just the debt collector. She then told us she could not tell us who the investor is by phone, fax, email, but only by post mail. The total time spent on that phone call was 35mins. Ten days later, we received that information, by which time we had already missed 2nd mortgage payment. 
Yesterday ( XXXX ) when mail came we contacted XXXX XXXX Their immediate response to our story was they could not help us with that, and we needed to talk to bank. HELP! 
We patiently explained all that had transpired by phone and mail, and they finally agreed to Mail us the forms to make application for loan review. Will this process now continue to use up time until we have missed too many payments and foreclosure becomes automatic?
