Consumer complaint received 2018-04-02
Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (PA)

Citi says I made payments on my account and they claim falsely I called and okay 'd the amount when I did not and they are lying and saying I owe things and that I did charges. I did not at XXXX etc. They are saying things that are a lie and they were told what was legitimate or not and they refuse to listen. They fail to care and could are less they were told about things from stores I never purchased and the card was lost and it was reported multiples times and they failed to ignore it and keep lying.They also still are harassing me and saying things that they know are lies and trying to threaten me into making payments on things that are not mine. I am tired of this they are a scam bank who does not care about their customers. I really want justice done on them if this is not resolved properly.I called into the fraud that it was lost and they fail to care and that I authorized it. I never got calls to authorize charges etc. So that is also a lie they must have called the wrong number and lied. I am not stupid I know when it is a lie. This involves my XXXX card and XXXX XXXX XXXX mastercard. So much for zero liability about fraud protection.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (TX)

In reference to Complaint XXXX the response by TransUnion was not complete and the credit reporting agency is still breaking the Consumer Credit laws. My Method of Verification request sent on XX/XX/2018 has been ignored repeatedly. 

FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 6 ) ( B ) ( iii ) states that upon request you must provide me a description of the procedure used to determine the accuracy and completeness of the information. This includes, but is not limited to the business or third party vendor name and address of the furnisher of information contacted in connection with such information and the telephone number of such furnisher. 

TransUnion has yet to provide the information above as required by FCRA 611 TransUnion needs to provide me with copies of all documentation associated with this Public Record Account bearing either a court order to place this information in my credit report, or my authorization of release bearing my signature. 

This is a very simple request and one that will reveal that TransUnion is violated FCRA and Privacy Laws. 

Per the Federal Credit Reporting Act, Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( a ), you are required by federal law to verify through physical verification of the original court documents all accounts and public information that you post on anyones credit report. Otherwise, anyone paying for your reporting services could fax, mail, email in fraudulent and erroneous account information.

Issue: Managing an account — Problem accessing account
Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (CA)

On XXXX, I tried to access my online banking services with Citibank. I found that the system would not allow me access and merely stated that I should try to access the site later due to : " Technical Difficulties ''. 

I tried again to access my online banking on XXXX in the morning and again in the evening to access online banking and received the same message to try again later due to " Technical Difficulties ''. 

On XXXX, after receiving the same message I called directly to the Citibank customer assistance and tried repeatedly to access the online services with a banking representative, after several repeated failures due to " Technical Difficulties '' - the representative consented to forward my call to a Supervisor. 

I worked for another thirty minutes with the Supervisor every step of the way and she finally admitted that Citibank is indeed experiencing " Technical Difficulties '' with online banking - especially relating to resetting password access. XXXX stated that the problem has existed since XX/XX/XXXX and has not yet been resolved. I called today ( XX/XX/XXXX ) and the banking representative again confirmed that the " Technical Difficulties '' have not yet been resolved. 

At present - there is NO statement on any webpage from Citibank, or disclosure regarding this breakdown in their ability to deliver services. While the Supervisor at Citibank says she recorded my complaint, and added my call to their trouble ticket, I am also deeply concerned by the lack of disclosure to the public and Citibank customers specifically about this extended failure in their services.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (WA)

Back in XXXX, I purchased my first home in XXXX XXXX, WA with a mortgage from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ). 
As part of the mortgage, I setup a savings account, and setup Autopay to have my monthly dues automatically withdrawn from the checking account. Please note that I opted NOT to pay for insurance and taxes from an escrow account when setting up the mortgage. 

Fast forward to XXXX, I moved to a new city but kept the house in XXXX XXXX. Immediately upon my move, I changed the mailing address tied to my XXXX accounts from the website. I had not realized at the time that XXXX Mortgage kept separate addresses on file even though all records are accessed through the XXXX banking website, and because of this, the mailing address for the XXXX mortgage account was never updated. 

Sometime in XXXX, I switched to a different insurance company for the XXXX XXXX XXXX and informed XXXX of the change as instructed by the new insurance company. However, sometime in late XXXX, I received a phone call stating that I was behind on my mortgage payments. 
Several phone calls later, and upon closer review of my account, I found that XXXX force-purchased insurance claiming that I had not submitted proof of insurance. Because of the insurance that was purchased and the escrow that was created for it, my monthly dues had gone up, and the amount I had setup to for Autopay was just short of the new dues. 

While this was happening, XXXX apparently mailed me notices to my old mailing address on file but never once contacted me over the phone until way late in the game. XXXX also just held on to my monthly payments without processing them nor issuing a refund. 

In the end, I immediately paid the overdue amount and submitted proof to XXXX after which they issued a refund for the insurance and associated fees. XXXX also processed all of the funds that they were holding from payments they hadn't processed, so currently I am actually 3 months ahead of schedule in my payment. 

However, despite all of the above, my credit report still reflects that I had two major delinquencies in my payment which not only impacted my score, but have caused lenders to deny my refinancing application which will end up in tens of thousands of dollars in lost opportunity cost. 

I had filed disputes with all three insurance companies to no avail, so I'm asking CFPB to please step in and get this corrected as I have not missed a single payment.

Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc. (MA)

Dear CFPB, I have experienced a pattern of Credit Inquiries from the following corporations. These inquiries are having an adverse effect on my credit score. Is there a legal, logical reason these companies can make multiple inquiries? How do I make them stop? I can not freeze my credit right now and I have submitted a request for a credit report from all three bureaus. I tried very very hard to access XXXX. I do not know whether it is me, my computer, the ISP  ( XXXX XXXX ), but it is impossible to contact anyone there. I have included the dates they pull credit. Most are once per month, some are twice!

Is it because I am XXXX, middle aged, retired or is it in retaliation for political affiliation? This is clearly an all-out attack by special interest and the government. My cell phone has been ported out, my identity stolen in the past and now I am experiencing multiple technical and financial attacks. Last week, my bank account was breached and money was stolen by XXXX. I sent the bank the email headers and they are investigating it. XXXX, XXXX and XXXX have flooded my emails with bugs, viruses, phishing. My ISP and XXXX are manipulating my websites and blocking them saying I have DNS errors. I have documented all of these events dating back to XXXX. Can you help? Can you point me in the right legal direction? I can not stand much more. Thank you, XXXX

Company: Southern Management Systems Inc. (TX)

On XX/XX/XXXX, I was sent a letter stating I owed Southern Management Systems an alleged debt. I did not receive this letter until XX/XX/XXXX. I have no idea what this alleged debt is about ; it is not mine. My phone has been spammed with 8 calls from 5 different numbers, all from Southern Management Systems, from the dates XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX, before I received any written notification about an alleged debt. I want to stop getting harassed over a debt that isn't even mine. On XX/XX/XXXX, I mailed out a debt validation request to Southern Management System. The debt  has not been validated, yet I am still getting harassed by the company.

It appears that my credit file has been compromised. Again, I was going through my records & noticed many information, accounts, or items which do not belong to me. Since Im a stickler for research, I found that under section 605b of the FCRA, the 3 credit bureaus are required by law to remove & block any accounts or information which is found to be opened due to identity theft. The dispute items do not belong to me. Im attaching the required FTC Report for you and the bank 's records ( learned through more research both parties require ). Please remove these files.

If they do not provide any records & claim the item is verified please understand I will seek legal action. I do not take kindly to games nor does my attorney. SO please comply with the law so this matter can be handled swiftly.
