Product: Other financial service — Traveler’s/Cashier’s checks
Issue: Fraud or scam — 
Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (MA)

BackGround : I provided a real estate agent with XXXX cashier 's checks to help my son move into an apartment. Both checks were made payable to the apartment management company. The agent rented the apartment to someone else. I made an inquiry to my bank about the checks and they told me they had been paid. 
I contacted the apartment management company to ask them about the situation. They knew the agent, but had no knowledge of the checks and never received the funds. The bank was able to obtain copies of the checks and from them they determined the checks had been negotiated in a Citibank branch without having been endorsed on the back. 
I wanted to find out who had received the funds so I initiated a fraud inquiry through my bank. The apartment management company, the " Payee '', returned a notarized affidavit to the bank, which, in turn, contacted Citibank to ascertain who negotiated the checks, and into what account the funds were deposited. 

Issue : Citibank refuses to respond to the Fraud Inquiry from my bank.

Product: Student loan — Non-federal student loan
Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer — Having problems with customer service
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY (CA)

I am trying to release my cosigner from liability for my private student loan. Wells Fargo EFS has but excessive, unnecessary, and unusual steps in the way of doing so. Specifically, it requires that the cosigner himself sign a form that is mailed by Wells Fargo directly to the cosginer asking him to release himself from liability. 
Wells Fargo insists that this is necessary because they can not release him without his permission. This makes no sense ; there is no reason that any person would have a desire to remain a cosigner on a loan if it is not required. Other companies do not do this ; XXXX released my cosigner only after my submission of a form and demonstration of myself as being a good borrower. 
In my opinion, Wells Fargo is putting this unnecessary barrier up in order specifically to prevent borrowers from getting cosigners released.

Company: Comerica (CA)

On XX/XX/2021, a fraudulent withdrawal was made to my Direct Express Deposit account from a cardless ATM machine, located in XXXX XXXX, California. I have followed all the instructions provided by Direct Express to have them return the funds of {$1000.00} to my account, including an extensive answer form, a police report, a statement about the circumstances, etc. It is clear that this is a fraud or identity theft perpetrated on my account. I have given a very consistent statement to Direct Express about this situation. Direct Express claims there are inconsistencies in my report, there are NOT. Direct Express refuses to refund my money and has closed the dispute. I can not reach Direct Express to discuss the situation. They schedule telephone calls to me that they never make. They are perpetrating and participating in a fraud on my account and I can not get any information. They take me around and around in a circle to get this scenario resolved and there is NO XXXX to appeal too or adjudicate the matter. It is a blank wall to try to deal with them. This is a very exasperating and dangerous situation for the consumer, especially a person who relies on Social Security deposits to cover their expenses. Direct Express does this because there seems to be no remedy.

Today XX/XX/2015 I received a letter in the mail from them date XXXX XXXX, 2015 that they were decreasing my credit limit from {$600.00}, to {$500.00}, because they ran my credit and seen that my credit score had dropped, I never authroized them to check my credit and before assuming my credit score dropped because of myself they should have verfiied with me to see if I had some ID theft resulting in fraudulent accounts being open in my name. What crazy about the letter is that although I 'm just receieving it, it says that they ran my credit in XX/XX/2015 and seen this drop and now two months later are decreasing my limit, after I just paid the bill. So now I feel like they are profiling me and assuming I 'm not going to pay my bills.

I am writing requesting that you stop reporting certain things that are on my credit report. There are many debts from companies and I dont know who they are. For some, I did see creditors that I recognize but theres no way that I could have incurred that much debt with those companies. 
Instead of sending a separate letter for each, I am just listing the accounts below. Some of these, I saw are going on my credit report. I hereby request that you stop putting them on my reports. If you insist on doing so, please tell whoever uses my credit that I do not agree with the charges. 
For some of these, I have called to say that I couldnt owe as much as it says, but I dont know how to reach each one by phone. Some I have never gotten any letters for, so I dont even know how valid they are. 
I know that it is illegal to put things on a credit report that shouldnt be there. So please, I request that you tell my credit reports that I do not agree. 
Please remove all items from my credit report which are not belong to me.

I do not dispute the final bill and just before its due date I mailed them {$1100.00}. I called their XXXX number to inform them that I was going to pay this bill in XXXX equal payment.

Shortly after that I received phone call from a company named " XXXX XXXX XXXX '' claiming they have my account for collection. I explained to them that the account is current and Infiniti had a responsibility to inform me if they wanted me to pay someone else for the balance due. I told them that I do not know who they are and refuse to send them any money because this may simply be another scam. I asked them to inform Infiniti that they must inform me in writing new payment address and company. So far I have not heard anything from Infiniti but the collection company, XXXX, keeps calling me with intimidating messages. I do not know who they are and why a current account was referred to a collection agency.

XX/XX/2022 I received a text message from XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX that said a charge on my BECU card, made in Alaska, needed to be authorized. It included a link for responding. Which, unfortunately, I clicked on. It asked me to log into online banking. 

I ended up giving my birthdate, ss #, phone. Then the site said I'd need to call customer service to complete the transaction successfully so I called and spoke to a person named XXXX who asked for my address and mothers maiden name. When I went to the branch they said the phone call was probably also a scammer. They said I should take my phone in to the service provider or manufacturer because the link probably put malware on my phone!

I inquired about an account with the name of XXXX XXXX XXXX on my credit report. The account number is : XXXX. I am a victim of identity theft AND this account is also showing illegal reaging which is also a violation of my consumer rights.

I requested to the company AND the bureaus : Please provide my consumer disclosure file under FCRA Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ). I am also requesting the date of first delinquency, as well as the FCRA compliance date, along with the name of the party who reported the date of first delinquency. My rights dictate my ability to obtain this information. I have issued a formal complaint to the FTC as well as the XXXX regarding this matter. My report shows numerous inaccuracies with the DATE THE ACCOUNT WAS OPENED, THE DATE LAST REPORTED, and THE DATE OF LAST PAYMENT.

Section 623 ( a ) ( 5 ) : Duty of furnishers to provide date of delinquency on charge-off, collection or similar accounts.

THIS IS ILLEGAL REAGING! Re-aging is illegal under the FCRA ( Fair Credit Reporting Act ).

This account is currently involved in a litigation due to identity theft and further complaints are being issued through my attorney. 

This item needs to be DELETED and my report needs to be corrected IMMEDIATELY.

Company: SELECT PORTFOLIO SERVICING, INC. (PA)

Select Portfolio Servicing is a collection agency, not a mortgage Co.. Therefore I believe they do not have legal right to foreclose on my property. They have been harassing me with foreclosure, sheriff notices since year 2004. There is a statute of limitations to collect on a debt. I already owned my home. I did not purchase my property from SPS. I took out a home improvement loan with a mortgage company called XXXX. They are no longer in business. SPS refuses to produce original wet ink note on property.We went through numerous modifications. With higher payments.Always at the end of trial period, they have repeatedly lied about paperwork and documents missing.The last modification they wanted us to sign was for a whole new amount due, well over {$100000.00}. My principal due on loan was only {$71000.00} at that time. I refused to sign.SPS was adding attorney fees, property inspection fees, misc fees. No one ever came to my home to inspect. I have tried to make payments, sent through XXXX XXXX. SPS returns payment, will not accept. This has caused stress related illness with the constant badgering. I demand SPS to cease and desist any further contact, through the courts or otherwise. There are many, many others experiencing this same treatment from SPS. They have filed complaints as well. Why are they still allowed to be in business??
