Consumer complaint received 2019-03-29
Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Trouble using your card — Can't use card to make purchases
Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (ID)

In XXXX of 2019 I applied and got approved for a Citi double cash card. After receiving the card I attempted to add it to apple pay which sent me over to the fraud department to verify my identity which I completely understood. However, once on the line with the fraud early warning department they asked me to verify a good cell number for them to text. Like a growing number of Americans I use a pre-paid plan for my cell service, which is also the number listed on the account and they could not use it because it's a pre paid number. This is apparently the only option they have. You can verify, social, date of birth or account number. The only other way they can verify is by snail mail. I went ahead and waited for the letter since the agent stated this was the only time I had to do this. About a week later it arrived and I reactivated the card and added it to XXXX XXXX and it was fine. I've had no problems until now. A few weeks ago I added on an authorized user and I was having an issue receiving his card. My apartment uses PO boxes and for some reason since the PO box was registered to me, and the letter was address to my authorized user the post office kept on returning. After the second time happened I decided to call Citi and ask if they mail it to his address. I did that this morning. I spoke to a very nice lady in customer service who after doing some verification was able to do just that. Later today when logging into the app to make a payment I received an alert to call the fraud department. I called in to fraud and was asked to go through the same process again. Again my phone number would not work and agent told me they'd have to send me another letter via snail mail. This is getting ridiculous. At this point I was quite upset and asked to speak to a supervisor. After telling the supervisor about the issue they told me essentially they could not do anything until I receive that letter and there's no other way to verify. I still had the original letter and asked if I could use that and they said no. I asked if there was anyway they could overnight the letter or expedite the letter since it's happened before and the supervisor really didn't respond except for saying there's nothing they can do until I get the letter. This is just ridiculous Citi is making me go through an undue hardship just because I don't have a contract cell phone. There has to be a better fix or solution to this. I attached the last verification letter I received in XX/XX/XXXX.

Product: Debt collection — Auto debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was already discharged in bankruptcy and is no longer owed
Company: ALLY FINANCIAL INC. (PA)

XX/XX/2019. Received a call from XXXX at Ally financial. She wanted to know when Im going to pay my auto loan. I told her she needs to contact my attorney. She responded you dont have an attorney. Continued to ask when Im going to pay. I repeated you need to contact my attorney. She then told me that if Im not going to comply we will send people to XXXX XXXX XXXX ( my house ). I told her multiple times you need to contact my attorney and each time she told me you dont have an attorney and that I have to deal with this myself. Eventually she said Im going to record that youre non-compliant and then hung up on me. Now all of this happened a month or longer AFTER I received my bankruptcy discharge from the court, which included my auto loan through Ally Financial. Never once did she ask for my attorneys name or phone number or anything. She literally just ignored the fact that I retained an attorney, filed bankruptcy and received a discharge. She threatened to send people to my house if I didnt pay. This is completely unacceptable! Not to mention illegal, I think. I was granted a discharge from the auto loan debt by the Courts and yet shes calling me to collect the money, ignoring my request to speak to my attorney and THREATENING to send people to where I live! I fell in hard times that lasted for several years, filing bankruptcy was not something I did lightly. It was an extremely stressful time, so much so that I began receiving medical care due to the stress & anxiety of trying to rebuild my life. Then when theres finally resolution and I can begin to get back to normal this woman calls and treats me that way. Please look into this matter for me. Thank you.

On XX/XX/2018 I was notified through my credit monitoring that I had a derogatory mark placed on all 3 of my credit reports. After viewing the account, I noticed Waypoint Resource Group had placed a collections account in the amount of {$200.00}.

I never received a Validation Letter to dispute this said account. So I called them directly and was told that it was my responsibility to contact the original creditor and validate my debt with them, which I believe is not my responsibility to do so, its the debt collectors.

I did research on Waypoint Resource Group on XXXX reviews and found that there is multiple people complaining about them just placing collection accounts without any notification.

On or about XX/XX/2021, I applied for a secured Discover Card. I was approved immediately and the {$1000.00} security deposit was ELECTRONICALLY withdrawn from my account on XX/XX/XXXX. After I then obtained the necessary financing from another source, I canceled the account weeks ago and requested immediate return of the security deposit. Discover has been promising to return the security deposit and even is supposed to send me {$75.00} in compensation for the poor service. While I will accept the {$75.00}, what I really want is my security deposit back NOW! I was told on or about XX/XX/XXXX that the money was probably already in my account. It was not there on XX/XX/XXXX, so I contacted Discover and was told that it would be MAILED ( NOT DEPOSITED ELECTRONICALLY ). The delays in refunding my deposit have been unreasonable and unacceptable. I should have had my deposit back with an hour or day of my canceling the account. Discover has abused me, an elderly man who will be XXXX in two years. This treatment is unacceptable for anyone, let alone the elderly. Discover has had my {$1000.00} deposit since XX/XX/XXXX.

These account on my credit report are misleading and false. XXXX, XXXX  and transunion has a closed and derogatory accounts, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX, and state of XXXX. These account are all violations of the FCRA. They havent been validated and should be removed from my report. They also sent me letter with there logo stating that I owe a debt which is against the law stated in 15 U.S.Code 1692b. This results in a {$1000.00} fine. An because your attempting to collect a debt that is against the low stated in 15 U.S. Code 1681b. You can not file a consumer report unless you have a written order from the courts, also should be accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. Also in 15 U.S.Code 1692b no debt collector can state that such consumer owes any debt. These are all {$1000.00} fines. Reports should not contain information solely as to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the person making the report. The congress also stated that any authorization or approval of specific extension credit indirectly should be excluded from your credit report. Also during your investigation into these accounts did you conduct personal interviews with any of my neighbors, family or associates? A consumer has the right to privacy and you sending three letter is a violation of my privacy. Congress states that the definition of credit card is also your social security number. So any closed or unauthorized account thats on my credit report should be removed.
