Some of her payments were gone up by XXXX dollars, where I believe she was paying XXXX a month, and it had gone up to XXXX a month. But Regardless I am very responsible on my payments and I can not have they post that on my credit they need to remove those late payments specially since I paid and closed that account as I am very responsible as an XXXX and XXXX XXXX veteran who served my country proudly. The least they can do is remove the late payments and or remove select portfolio from my credit completely. My history shows I have always been responsible with my mortgage payments. Problem is, I recently checked my credit report to find out this late payment charges. If you see my credit report, I have always paid my creditors on time with past mortgage companies.

And I was divorced so my communication with my x wife was of non-existence, please help a responsible veteran who fought hard and survived. Please help. I am also in a process of getting veterans department lawyers and civil lawyers involved in this case to go ahead and sue select portfolio.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (CA)

There was a major security breach at Equifax. I found out about this on XXXX today XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX ). Not from the company, not from any other bureau, but on XXXX XXXX thank you XXXX XXXX. I checked Equifax and it told me my information was likely compromised, but that I should contact them on XXXX XXXX, XXXX to take further action. At that point I decided to freeze my credit through Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX. Not only is this inconvenient for me, but I had to pay a total of {$20.00} to do this. So, in essence, I am having to fund the company that lost my information in order for them to agree not to further release my information. That is unacceptable. 

I also find the entire credit reporting racket to be unacceptable. We can not track our own credit scores without paying for a service. We can only get credit reports for free once a year. There are no posted guidelines on how to improve your score because each place has their own proprietary way of handling things. 

Identity theft is just going to get worse if we insist on having everything tied to a social security number. Giving these credit bureaus full control over all the buying power of Americans, without them having to say how to improve your standing is also terrible. This should be a wakeup call that this needs to change. It is only going to get worse if it does n't.

I reached out to tXXXX XXXX XXXX to submit a request for debt validation because, I never got any letter. They claim over and over that I got it, or they sent stuff. Regardless they responded as seen below on XX/XX/2022 that they will send the letter. 


" XX/XX/2022... we are treating this complaint as a request for validation and will send documentation to her '' On XX/XX/2022 just a few days later they called about the debt again ( home/cell ) first they asked me to ensure I answer calls when they call ( i work, i cant answer evry single time they call, but i ALWAYS call back when i can ) second they said they had no idea they were asked to send validation and will send it now. 

To my understanding, they arent supposed to contact me to collect a debt until i have validation, i asked for it, and they continued to contact.

Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Closing your account — Company closed your account
Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (IL)

I logged on to one of my Citi/AAdvantage accounts to make a payment and discovered that the account, with no notice or explanation, had been closed. I logged on to my other Citi/AAdvantage account and discovered the same thing had occurred. 

I talked to three separate customer service representatives, not one of whom had any idea why my accounts had been closed.

In the meantime, I received letters from Citibank after the fact that my accounts had been closed because I had one or more late or returned payments. 

I made an online appointment with a Citibank representative, who called the credit card division, and was told that I had a few payments that had been returned. None of those payments resulted in a late fee, as the minimum amount due each month had not only been met but also surpassed. The representative with whom I spoke said she had never heard of such a thing as an account being closed because of returned payments, especially those that were in excess of the monthly amount due. 

She filed a request for a review of my accounts, and I was notified two days later that the accounts could not be reopened because I had one or more late or returned payments. The reason there were returned payments in the first place was because on those few occasions they were not showing up on my available credit and I chose to make the payments to another card where they did show up immediately and thus allow me to earn points. 

First, I have not had one late payment on either account since opening them. Second, the returned payments were not due for payment at the time. Third, the Late Payment Warning on my statements is that if minimum payment is not received by the due date that I might incur a late fee and my APR may be increased. Nowhere does it state anything about returned payments that do not constitute minimum payments. Finally, I did not get so much as a letter of warning or explanation, in which case I would have not had the payments returned. 

I see no reason, given my history of prompt payments on my accounts, that Citibank could not have simply reopened my accounts ; instead it has caused great damage to my credit score. I request Citibank reopen my accounts so I can continue to be a valued customer. 

Thank you.

Equifax failed to secure my and 148 million other people 's vital information. To say I am angry is an understatement. Equifax seems prepared to offer one year of credit monitoring for free then charging each year after that. Do i have to pay for their mistake? This is crazy.
