Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (NY)

In XX/XX/XXXX I opened a Citi Gold account with a XXXX deposit Citibank were offering a XXXX bonus after this had been left in the accound for a minimum of three months and found this was a far better return than interest rates from any bank. This account was opened by a 'new accounts manager' at a local branch and my regular Citibank Debit card was used to get all the details about my account. After XXXX months I enquired when the bonus was going to be paid and they explained that payment would be deposited in anytime upto XXXX after the initial XXXX months.  I was perplexed about this but though maybe it was in the small print and accepted this. After the XXXX month mark I enquired again about payment of the bonus payment and Citibank then said I hadn't made any electronic payments from my account which I had done to pay my credit card off so they then did a XXXX degree turn and said that it was because I already had an account which I opened in XX/XX/XXXX. I made it very clear when I opened this 'new' account the reason opening it was because of the bonus and the fact they opened it up with information from my existing Citibank Debit account card clearly identifies that I already have an account. I would have been more than understanding if they had made it clear that this offer was only open to new customers with XXXX to leave in their account for XXXX months but this wasn't and find it incredibly deceptive.

GM Financial is reporting that we were late on our vehicle loan, when we no longer owned the vehicle. We traded our XXXX GMC Acadia into XXXX XXXX XXXX on XXXX XXXX, 2015. GM Financial reported that we were 30 days late on this vehicle on XXXX XXXX, 2015, 25 days after we traded the automobile into the dealership. They claimed that they never received the first check, so the dealership overnighted them one on XXXX XXXX. I called to verify that a payoff was sent to GM Financial and the dealership claimed one was sent out on XXXX XXXX, 2015. I asked that all copies of the check be sent to me and I would contact the finance company back. I did and they still do not want to listen and correct the reporting. The check was sent to them, but they did not apply it to the account, instead disposed of the check as to retain all the refund money up in late fees.

Citibank closed my credit card account before I got a chance to pay off with no interest due to a bad check. 

It would 've never been a bad check had they removed the direct deposit from an unused account ( old account closed due to fraud ). I was making payments of {$150.00} on time from an updated account. After i noticed the first attempt to take direct deposit from my closed account ( which I 've called multiple times to remove ), I called again to ask them to remove that direct deposit since I tried and was unable to do so online using their online portal. Btw, I work as a XXXX, so I 'm pretty sure it was a bug on their end. I removed the old direct deposit countless times manually and even over the phone. They decided to cancel my account even though I was making all my payments on time. Because of their incompetence of not removing my original direct deposit like I 've requested countless times, it resulted in a bounced check in which Citibank closed my credit card account. Now my credit is negatively affected. I cant make purchases ...

Hello, my name is XXXX, and I'm writing to ask for your assistance in contacting this company. I attempted to get in touch with them to inquire about the circumstances behind the creation of a new account in my name. It is unfortunate that this issue is now harming my credit record since it is a really severe subject. I feel terrible about it. I do not give anybody permission to use my name, date of birth, or any other information about me since doing so violates both data privacy and the law. They have to determine who really started the account in my name and then provide those details to that individual rather than transferring them to me. Could you perhaps assist me in finding a solution to this?

It has come to my attention that there may have been a compromise regarding my credit with your institution. Upon reviewing my records, I observed that an account previously removed has reappeared in my XXXX credit report. It is imperative to note that under Section 605b of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), there exists a legal obligation to promptly remove and block any account determined to be the result of fraudulent activity. The disputed account in question does not pertain to my financial obligations. Attached herewith is the required FTC Report # XXXX for your reference and action. I kindly request the expeditious removal of this account from my credit profile. Should there be any inclination to consider the possibility that this account pertains to me, I insist upon the provision of all documentation bearing my signature. It is worth emphasizing that regulatory standards necessitate a meticulous verification process, ensuring the absolute accuracy and verifiability of any purported account. Failure to furnish relevant records and insisting on account verification without substantial evidence may compel me to pursue legal recourse. I trust that compliance with statutory mandates will facilitate the swift resolution of this matter. The disputed account, having been opened without my consent or knowledge, warrants immediate removal, in accordance with Section 605B of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. For your reference, the pertinent details of the disputed account are as follows : : XXXX : XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$920.00} -- -- -- -- XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$920.00} -- -- -- -- TRANSUNION : XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$920.00}

My father had some medical bills while undergoing XXXX for XXXX. He passed away, and there were XXXX outstanding bills for XXXX. 

My mother had traveled to be with her sisters. I went back to the state I live in. The last of the bills were sent to my parents home. Then a collection agency ( ACCOUNT RESOLUTION CORP. ) based out of XXXX, MO sent collection notices ( to imaging sessions ) to my parents home. Ultimately they filed it under my dad 's name, and his SSN, and address with the XXXX and XXXX. The bureaus then somehow linked that with my SSN and his address. 

I have n't lived with my parent 's in years, different state, address, etc. However, both XXXX and XXXX reported me as having a collections report filed against me - possibly purely based on my name. My mother had kept her maiden name. So more than a year later, I receive an alert saying the XXXX charges ( totaling XXXX {$600.00} ) had n't been paid and I was delinquent. 

I had no idea these charges existed, the collections agency claims to have reported my dad 's SSN and address correctly. The only link was, I grew up at that address as a child. 

Now I have the headache of dealing with XXXX unresponsive agencies who made an incompetent mistake that is on my credit history a few weeks before I 'm applying for a home loan.
