Citi Card and faulty charges that are not my charges and they keep adding them to my monthly charges when I have repeatedly responded to rebuttal letters from companies off the internet that I never ordered these products online. My email XXXX has been infiltrated with spam from companies saying I won a prize that will be delivered when I pay delivery charges after I answer their questionnaire. I spam these messages out and the email service - XXXX automatically  remembers them and places them in spam. My spam folder is inundated with up to XXXX spam messages everyday. I clear my spam folder twice a day. Now, Citi Card is going to report this to the credit bureaus against my credit because I refuse to pay faulty charges. This has been happening for better than XXXX XXXX. If I can get a site where I can download my last response to them and it will show the products that they are claiming I ordered, but did not, it will show you the company which is using my card and claiming I am making these purchases when I would not even know what these products are used for - may understand what they are used for but do not have the knowledge how to use them.

I CLOSED my XXXX XXXX  credit card ending in XXXX but agents and their supervisors illegally claimed that Closure Status XXXX not be reported to credit reporting agencies for up to 60 days despite the fact that Metro 2 Compliance would require an immediate reporting of my account as Closed at consumers request to every CRA. The FCRA and Metro 2 require PROMPT and immediate mid cycle reporting of Closed accounts when the button is pushed to close an account. My credit reports remain open in willful violation of the FCRA and furnisher has stated that it has no intention to promptly report my account as closed. I seek {$1000.00} in statutory damages for each day the willful violation remain until permanently corrected. Permanent deletion of my account is demanded as my account is NOT METRO 2 Compliant. At a minimum, my account must be PERMANENTLY reported as DISPUTED as this Complaint challenges balances due to statutory damages for willful FCRA violations. Additional FCRA willful violations will occur if my accounts are not marked as disputed permanently.

With citi bank they seem to have issues when you report them as I have issues with them and this time its no different they wont allow you to put a dispute in it gives you an error message - their dispute dept calls and e-mail are also useless as I actually forwarded the proof of dispute for another issue with them with another merchant and their executive team whos the ones looking at this which theyre useless said it will take them 15 days. Why should I have to incur interest on something etc that Im not allowed to dispute bc their website etc doesnt allow you to on the app or online. Or speaking to them personally or email.

I know they probably are making it difficult all around to make a dispute because I dont hesitate to contact here when theres issues. I want whats attached disputed I have the email from seller saying they would refund

I'm writing this CFPB Complaint in accordance with the FCRA 's guidelines to ask that the following accounts, which I believe to be erroneous and incomplete, be looked into right away and updated on my credit report. Billing mistakes are any arithmetic errors or other accounting mistakes on a statement, as well as the creditor 's inability to accurately reflect a statement, a payment received by the debtor, or a credit line given to the debtor, according to U.S. Code 1666 ( b ). In my opinion, the creditor did not send me a statement 21 days prior, hence there shouldn't be any late payments on these accounts. The list of the contested accounts is provided below : XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$1000.00} XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$95.00}

According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act 15 USC 1681 section 602 a states " There is a need to insure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumers right to privacy. '' XXXX and XXXX are consumer reporting agencies and I am the Consumer. I have the right to make sure my private information isn't shared which is backed by 15 USC 6801 which states '' It is the policy of the Congress that each financial institution has an affirmative and continuing obligation to respect the privacy of its customers and to protect the security and confidentiality of those customers nonpublic personal information. '' ( Furnisher of information to credit agencies ) is a financial institution by definition under that title. 15 USC 1681 section 604 a section 2 states that " In general Subject to subsection ( c ), any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : in accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. '' ( Furnisher of information to credit agencies ) the financial institution and the Consumer reporting agencies XXXX and XXXX do not have my consent to furnish this information and they surely do not have my written consent. Any and all consent to XXXX, XXXX, ( Furnisher of information to credit agencies ) whether it be verbal, non-verbal, written, implied or otherwise is revoked. 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ) states that " A financial institution may not disclose nonpublic personal information to a nonaffiliated third party unless the consumer is given an explanation of how the consumer can exercise that nondisclosure option. '' ( Furnisher of information to credit agencies ) Never informed me of my right to exercise my nondisclosure option. Not only that 15 USC 1681C ( a ) ( 5 ) states '' Except as authorized under subsection ( b ), no consumer reporting agency may make any consumer report containing any of the following items of information Any other adverse item of information, other than records of convictions of crimes which antedates the report by more than seven years.

XXXX and XXXX are not maintaining reasonable procedures. Also 12 CFR 1016.7 states that " A consumer may exercise the right to opt out at any time. '' I am opting out of your reporting services.
