Consumer complaint received 2023-06-03
Product: Checking or savings account — Other banking product or service
Issue: Managing an account — Banking errors
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.

Complaint:
I have had a long banking relationaship with Citibank that includes a Checking, Savings and several credit card accounts. 

When I applied for a Citi Wealth Management I discovered that Citibank has my citizenship information recorded incorrectly. I am a XXXX XXXX who is a Permanent resident. Although Citibank has copies of my passport, they have me recorded as a XXXX XXXX. Citi Wealth asked me to contact the banking arm of Citibank to have this corrected in their records since they use the same identification database. 

On XX/XX/2023 I contacted the Citibank customer service line to request this correction be made. However, I was told by a CSR, and then by a supervisor, that they are unable to make such a change. Particularly : 1 ) I had to wade through a multitude of prompts and holds since none of the options on their phone menus were about updating or correcting account information. After about 10 minutes of holds and transfers I got connected with a CSR.

2 ) The CSR could not understand the difference between a resident and a citizen. After consulting his manager, he wanted to send me a W8 from to fill out. I pointed out that W8 is for non-residents, and that for US persons a W9 is used. He offered to send me a W9. I pointed out that they already have a W9. He confirmed. However, he was still unable ( or unwilling ) to make the correction. I asked to speak with a supervisor. 

3 ) A supervisor ( name given was XXXX, ID # XXXX ) came on the line and after I explained the situation he informed me that what I am asking is " not possible '' and that I would need to take my " XXXX '' passport to a branch. After explaining to him again that I am a XXXX XXXX who is a permanent resident of the XXXX, he claimed that my status as a " XXXX  '' in their system is correct and that there is nothing they can do about it. He claimed that making a change would amount to " lying ''. 
After about 5 minutes of arguing, I asked to be transferred to another perosn. He said his manager " XXXX '' is busy and will give me a call back soon. When I asked about how to report a feedback or lodge a complaint of this customer service experience, he said I need to write a letter. have it signed and notarized, then send it via registered mail to Citibank. Clearly making it onerous for me to report my dissatisfaction. After hanging up, I waited for 24 hours but never received a call back from " XXXX ''. 

The issue is still unresolved. Citibank is basically violating IRS rules by maintaining false data and refusing to correct the information in their system and their employees have no training to understand or apply these rules.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.

Complaint:
CitiMortgage has reported & verified with XXXX XXXX that a mortgage account that went into foreclosure and should have been removed from my credit report XX/XX/XXXX due to age was brought current during a few months at the end of XX/XX/XXXX & beginning of XX/XX/XXXX when it was not. Court papers Citi Mortgage filed for the foreclosure on XX/XX/XXXX accurately reflect that the account was in default and never brought current. This account has been disputed numerous times with XXXX XXXX, most recently in XX/XX/XXXX, copies of the court papers CitiMortgage filed were included in the dispute but CitiMortgage keeps verifying incorrect information. The date of last payment is correctly shown as XX/XX/XXXX and no payments were ever made after that date. Citi Mortgage reports the account as " OK '' from XX/XX/XXXX thru XX/XX/XXXX and as of XX/XX/XXXX shows 120 days late. Their own reporting is a contradiction showing current in the 3 months preceding a report of 120 days late. Although I sent XXXX XXXX the proof that Citi Mortgage is reporting and verifying incorrect information this account is still on my report when is should have been deleted XX/XX/XXXX.

Issue: Dealing with my lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are handled
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.

Complaint:
Naviant contacted me after taking over service of my student loans ; they claimed to have sent me information that i never received, by the time they called the first time I was in default. After resolving the default I attempted to setup payments ; I was forced into a repayment plan paying less than I wanted, I then asked if I could setup auto pay at which point I was told I could only that up through their website. I was also told I could set the payments up for more if I wanted ; the webpage was difficult to navigate and gave me no options to pay more. There was no confirmation that my information was accepted and no indication it was not. 6 months later they called my Uncle who was never a contact on my account attempting to contact me ; my contact information had not changed and I confirmed they had the right information. They informed they had never received a payment and showed that they had no payment information. I am again in default and have no desire to deal with this company.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was already discharged in bankruptcy and is no longer owed
Company: Talbot, Adams, & Moore, Inc.

Complaint:
The debt is from  XXXX  credit card company. The debt was included in my chapter  XXXX  bankruptcy (  XXXX  ) that was discharged in  XXXX . I have notified this company of of the fact that I have been  discharged  out of chapter  XXXX  bankruptcy several times. It appears that the debt is being sold time and time again because I continue to get calls and harassment continually by different  collectors  swearing they did n't know that I claimed bankruptcy. I have notified this particular collector of the chapter  XXXX  bankruptcy and its filing number, yet the debt still is appearing on my credit. Just a side note on the credit report it shows that the account was opened in  XXXX . That is n't true. I 've not had an account with this provider since the bankruptcy.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint:
This complaint is in reference to my prior complaint against Experian, which is CFPB complaint # XXXX, which I filed as a result of Experian 's complete and total failure to respond to my XXXX letter, demanding they provide me with their METHOD OF VERIFICATION for an account that is falsely reporting in the derogatory. I XXXX of 2021, I sent a XXXX letter, exercising my rights under FCRA, which states that, upon request, the credit bureaus are required to provide THE METHOD OF VERIFICATION that they used to " verify '' an account as accurate, including the original contract containing any signatures. Experian entirely failed to do this. Instead, they simply opened another dispute on this account, only to almost immediately come back and, once again, verify it as " accurate. '' Experian has BLATANTLY violated MY RIGHTS under FCRA by refusing to provide the information that I am fully entitled to, so I filed CFPB complaint # XXXX stating that since they failed to send me the method of verification for this account within 30 days ( they did not end it AT ALL ), they are now required to IMMEDIATELY DELETE this account from my credit report. In response to CFPB complaint XXXX, Experian stated , " We have reviewed and considered the information you have supplied through the CFPB portal and directly to Experian. At your request to begin a reinvestigation, we are in the process of contacting the data furnisher ( s ) or public record vendor to verify the accuracy of the information with which you disagree. '' THAT IS NOT WHAT I ASKED FOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I CLEARLY stated in CFPB complaint XXXX that Experian is now required to DELETE THIS ACCOUNT FROM MY CREDIT REPORT IMMEDIATELY for failure to respond to my XXXX letter and provide me WITH THE METHOD OF VERIFICATION with which they are verifying this account. Therefore, my next step is to file a LAWSUIT AGAINST EXPERIAN for flagrantly VIOLATING MY RIGHTS under FCRA by failing to respond to my XXXX letter and failing to provide the documentation that I am entitled to.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.

Complaint:
I have tried repeatedly to resolve this issue with Navient 's customer service and they have been extremely unhelpful. I refinanced my student loans and on XX/XX/2018, XXXX XXXX XXXX sent Navient a payoff on my behalf in the amount {$45000.00}. This payment cleared their bank onXX/XX/2018but still has not posted to my account. I contacted Navient several times by phone and was told to " just wait '' until the payment posted. Finally, on XX/XX/XXXX, I was told Navient would need proof of payment before they would begin a check research. I contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX who was gracious enough do a conference call with myself and a Navient representative ( because Navient would not speak with them without me on the line ) and XXXX was given a fax number to send in the proof of payment. I also uploaded this proof of payment onto my Navient online account on XX/XX/XXXX and was told the research would be completed by the end of the month. I have called several times since then to check the status of my research request and no update can be provided. My student loans are now showing past due and I should not have to pay more money when my account with Navient should have been paid off a month ago.
