Also was reported was the utilization ratio and no notation regarding the discharging of my  Chapter   XXXX  bankruptcy. The creditor is  XXXX   XXXX   XXXX .  All of these factors caused my score to lower significantly.

Consumer complaint received 02/17/2018 about Credit card or prepaid card (General-purpose credit card or charge card) with CITIBANK, N.A. (MA).
Issue: Trouble using your card
Sub-issue: Can't use card to make purchases

Complaint: I received a Citi Double Cash Rewards card last month. After using it for a few weeks and paying off the balance in full within 2 weeks of any purchases, I went to use the card and the merchant said it was denied. 

I called customer service, fraud department. They said they needed to verify my phone number via a text message. Then they said that wouldn't work, but couldn't give a reason. Then they said my only recourse was wait for a letter in the mail in 7-10 days. 

They refused to provide an explanation for why the card was shut off, why they couldn't verify my information, or otherwise inform me on anything. 

I then asked for a supervisor. She also was no help. I said I wanted to close the account. They refused to close my account. I'm now stuck with no card that works, no reason as to why, and no ability to close my account. I also discovered that 100s of others had the same exact experience, as reported on XXXX.

Consumer complaint received 12-02-2016 about Credit card () with SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (CA).
Issue: Credit determination

Complaint: In XXXX of this year my wallet was stolen and soon learned that there was unauthorized charges to my credit card. I disputed the charges and they took care of the unauthorized charges and credited my account back and even got a new credit card in the mail. Prior to this incident, though I rarely used the account, I did always pay on time when there was a balance. I received a letter from the creditor in XXXX, following this dispute indicating that they had closed my account after reviewing my credit file without warning me. 
When I opened this credit card I had good credit standing and feel that I should have been warned about their decision. In the letter they sent me there are a number of reasons but feel that I needed a fair warning before they decided to close the account. I have been working on re-establishing my credit and this decision that they took will affect this process tremendously.

Consumer complaint received 03-08-2018 about Credit card or prepaid card (General-purpose credit card or charge card) with U.S. BANCORP (PA).
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement
Sub-issue: Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement

Complaint: We moved from XXXX XXXX, XXXX to XXXX, XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX. We paid our bill with the moving company with a U.S. Bank credit card. 6 months later, in XX/XX/XXXX, the moving company charged our U.S. Bank credit card without our knowledge or consent. I did not know they charged the card until I received my credit card statement in the mail. It was not until well after the transaction was disputed and I filed a complaint with the XXXX XXXX XXXX that I learned a billing error occurred in XXXX, and they thought they could just charge my card without my knowledge to make up the difference. 

I called the credit card company several times, disputing the charge. I did not authorize it or sign for it. They told me that because the moving company produced a bill, that they would not reverse the charge. 

I notified them that they are obligated under the law to ensure each transaction is authorized. I asked them, if this was not the case, then why do point of sale transactions ask consumers to sign for each purchase? I was told that because I gave them my credit card information in XX/XX/XXXX that they could use it whenever they wanted as long as they could prove I owed that company money - whether or not I authorized the transaction. 

I was told by my credit card company on the morning of XX/XX/XXXX at roughly XXXX XXXX EST, by a man named XXXX in their dispute department, that they do not require proof of my authorization of charges. XXXX told me that it was only necessary for them to see a bill from the charging company, despite my authorization of use of my card not being anywhere on that bill. 

My credit card company allowed an unauthorized transaction to run on my card, and told me that my dispute was invalid even though I never authorized the transaction, and I was never even notified the charge was being made - or that I owed any money at all.

Consumer complaint received 11/19/2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with CITIBANK, N.A. (FL).
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Information belongs to someone else

Complaint: My identity was stolen. At the early part of 2016, I started to receive telephone calls from several credit card and a exercise equipment company stating that I had taken out credit and had began to go delinquent in my payments. I filed a police report and provided it to all the creditors that I did not recognize on my report. While some companies have removed the fraudulent accounts from my report, Citicards/Citibank is one company that has refused to do so. I hired an attorney to handle this matter for me. He stated that XXXX would only agree to settle the balance that had now charged off. I made all the installments to pay it in full. However, the impact of identity theft is still affecting me because this shows as a negative entry on my credit. I would like for Citicards/Citibank to take in consideration all of the documentation I 've provided on identity theft and the great lengths I 've gone to get this rectified. I have disputed this in writing and directly through the bureaus but no one will listen to me! I have even agreed to pay money back that I never received. I want them to remove this from my credit report because we NEVER were in business on this account and they have come out the victor by getting money from me anyway.

Consumer complaint received 09-02-2017 about Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports (Credit reporting) with EQUIFAX, INC. (WI).
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint: I mailed a certified letter to Equifax on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX requesting method of verification for an account that is inaccurately reporting on my credit report. The company is AD XXXX XXXX SERVICES. Equifax received my certified letter on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX and mailed me a follow-up letter dated XXXX/XXXX/XXXX which I received in the mail on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. However, the letter did not provide what I requested, which was method of verification. Furthermore, the letter stated that Equifax will not investigate which is a direct violation of my rights. I never asked XXXX to investigate in my most recent letter, I asked for method of verification. I requested the name, address, phone number, date and time of the person Equifax spoke with to verify this inaccurate information. I also requested the name, number, department and title of the person from Equifax claiming to have verified this information. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) credit reporting agencies have to provide method of verification within 15 days of my request or the information must be deleted from my credit report. Since Equifax has been unsuccessful in providing method of verification for AD XXXX XXXX SERVICES I demand this inaccurate information be removed from my credit report immediately. I also want an updated copy of my credit report once this has been completed.

Consumer complaint received 06/29/2016 about Debt collection (Payday loan) with Midwest Recovery Systems (WA).
Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not mine

Complaint: A collection agency, which I have never heard of or from, has reported negative information to the major credit reporting agencies and has lowered my credit score. 
How can a business do that without contacting the person they claim are owing the debt? 
The debt is from a payday loan company that I have never heard of so I am curious how I can be in collections for something I know nothing about. 
Imagine the surprise when I found this unpaid debt on my credit report just out of the blue. 
CFPB is asking for me to attach any supporting documents. How can I do that when I have n't heard from either party. haha
