Issue: Fraud or scam — 
Company: CITIZENS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC. (NH)

On XX/XX/22 I went to deposit a check I had received for {$3800.00}. on XXXX I went to see if check had gone through and to withdraw {$3300.00}. prior to being given the money I asked the teller if the check had cleared, if the money was mine and she responded yes. After sending the check of {$3300.00} on XXXX, XXXX the original check bounced for the {$3800.00} putting my account thousands of dollars into the negative. When the bank was called on XXXX to report fraudulent activity and try to stop the cashiers check they said there was nothing I could do and we needed to wait for the crime to be commited. Now that the money has been taken and my account is accruing overdraft fees daily They said it was my responsibility and they stated I was given the money due to how long I have had an account with them, not because the money had cleared. The cashiers check that I received for these funds was then deposited and they stated there is nothing they can do. I reported to them the concern for it being fraudulent. I did my due part in asking multiple times if the money has cleared and they wrongfully said yes. Had it not cleared I would have never withdraw the money. I had XXXX cents to my name prior to my deposit. I have reached out to every manager possible and nothing has been done at this time.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (UT)

I received a mailer from Citibank in connection with my credit card. The mailer offered balance transfers and included checks to do so. There is a number provided if one does not wish to receive balance transfer checks in the mail. I have requested a stop to these letters in the past. I called this number multiple times to confirm that in fact it was the wrong number. For some reason this number forwards to a leasing office for some sort of housing facility called XXXX XXXX at XXXX. That is obviously preventing me from contacting office in order to fix this situation. 

The mail was received on about XXXX XXXX 2017. 

The phone number provided by city is XXXX XXXX - XXXX - XXXX, I called on Sunday XXXX XXXX, 2017. I also have a recording.

On or about XX/XX/2023, I have recently encountered instances where my attempts to dispute certain accounts on my credit report have been met with responses indicating that my credit file can not be located. This has resulted in difficulties in addressing inaccuracies and discrepancies that are negatively impacting my credit standing, risk assessment, and overall financial well-being. 

Furthermore, these challenges raise questions about the credit reporting agencies ' adherence to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and their responsibilities in providing accurate credit information to consumers. It is my belief that these issues may be hindering the consumer empowerment aspect of credit reporting and potentially compromising data security. 

This practice has resulted in significant harm to my financial standing and has raised questions about the ethical and legal practices of your organization. I recently discovered, to my astonishment, that multiple accounts are appearing on my consumer report, indicating that your agency has been furnishing information without my explicit written consent. This practice not only undermines my ability to manage my financial affairs effectively but also jeopardizes my privacy rights as a consumer. I believe that this disregard for the requirement of written consent is a clear violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and potentially other applicable regulations. 

I want to bring to your attention that I have taken this matter seriously and have filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ). I am committed to seeking appropriate actions to address the harm caused by these practices and to ensure that such violations do not continue to impact consumers like myself. 

Attached to this letter, you will find a copy of my consumer report as evidence of the multiple accounts that are inaccurately appearing on my credit report without my written consent. Furthermore, I have included a copy of UCC-11, which shows that I do not have any liens or loans associated with my name. 

I will also include AGAIN a copy of my Drivers License, address, and social security card. Because every time I make a dispute. the 3 bureaus can not verify who I am
