Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: CITIBANK, N.A. (FL)

I am attaching all documentation. As you can see I opened this account at the store on XX/XX/2019 and my first statement due was {$94.00}. Even before I received my first bill, I visited their website and set up automatic bill pay to pay the statement balance in full. Unbeknownst to me at the time, my bank account entered was off by a digit. Apparently, like most websites, there was no quality check to ensure my account had the correct # of digits, so this went undetected. Of course, since I set up the payment in full and when I received my next bill in the mail showing a balance due of {$2.00}, I had every reason to believe the account was in good standing. What I did not know was that the XXXX payment was paid then rejected because the bank account # was wrong and there was no quality check to determine the error and no notification to me by Macy 's. At the end of XXXX when the 2nd payment in full was rejected, I did receive a call from Macy 's credit notifying me there was a problem. I called back immediately upon hearing the message and the representative and I discovered that my bank account # was off by a digit. We fixed it and she refunded all late fees and interest charges and led me to believe everything was fine and that there was an agreement that I was not late, but this was a tech/digital error. Not until I checked my credit ( I do so regularly ) did I see a hit to my score, Apparently Macy 's had reported me 30 days late.I immediately disputed it with all credit bureaus and they all corrected it, including XXXX XXXX. The following month, Macy 's reported it again to XXXX XXXX, after they had removed it, at which time I called Macy 's to find out why. The women there were extremely rude, condescending and unhelpful and accused me of being delinquent, no matter how much I showed them evidence and explained clearly that this was entirely technical, digital, error and I had clearly made every attempt to pay the bill on time, in full, and my XXXX statement showed a {$2.00} balance, so I looked no further to see the transactions that showed a reversal. No matter what, they would not even look to see the actual facts. They said I should have looked further, even though as far as I knew, my automatic bill pay at their site was set up before I even got a paper bill., and my XXXX bill was {$2.00}, so obviously my payment went through. You can see clearly that this error in my bank account # was the reason for all of this, and any reasonable person or agency would reverse this negative reporting to my credit report.

Company: BB&T CORPORATION (NC)

My current bank BB and T. Is changing the order of processing transactions and automatically applying overdraft fees to accounts for pending purchases and not processed ones and will not refund the fees if the pending purchases do not go through or are cancelled. They have also placed holds on cash deposits that I have made through the atm without an envelope, and which should have posted directly to the account. I paid a bill at the bank with a check on XX/XX/XXXX and had over {$1000.00} in my account and was still given a fee for the check because a purchase was made with debit card the next day after business hours that they took out first and not the processed check.
