Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Public record information inaccurate
Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the recent response provided in regard to my complaint filed with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) concerning the inaccurate reporting of a bankruptcy on my credit file. I have serious concerns about the validity of credit bureaus verification process and the credibility of the information allegedly used to substantiate this reporting. The CFPB response states that the disputed public record, labeled as Public Record - Federal - XXXX VERIFIED AS REPORTED, '' has been reviewed and verified. However, I have obtained clear, written confirmation from the relevant court XXXX Bankruptcy XXXX that they do not report or furnish bankruptcy proceedings information to credit reporting agencies. This official statement from the court raises serious questions about who, in fact, provided the information used in your " verification '' process. Furthermore, I contacted XXXX, a known third-party data provider, and they confirmed that they have no record of the bankruptcy account in question. This evidence contradicts any claim that the information was verified as reported. Given that : XXXX. XXXX. The court itself has stated it does not report information to credit bureaus. XXXX, a potential data source, has confirmed no record of the account. It is clear that TransUnion lacks a reliable and valid source to justify the continued reporting of this bankruptcy on my credit file. This failure in the verification process constitutes a direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) under Section XXXX, which requires that consumer reporting agencies conduct a reasonable investigation to ensure the accuracy of information included in consumer files.

Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Fees or interest — Problem with fees
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint regarding Citibanks handling of my credit card account, specifically the way my autopay settings were established and maintained in a manner that resulted in repeated interest charges without clear, affirmative consent. 

My account was set to automatically pay a fixed minimum payment of approximately {$35.00} rather than the full statement balance. I did not intentionally choose this setting, and at no point was it clearly disclosed that this autopay configuration would result in ongoing interest charges on a card with a high APR and an annual fee. This setup effectively guaranteed that a balance would be carried and that interest would accrue each billing cycle. 

As a customer who generally pays balances in full and uses autopay specifically to avoid interest, this configuration was materially misleading. Citibank did not provide clear warnings, proactive notifications, or meaningful alerts indicating that I was revolving a balance and incurring interest. The design of this autopay default appears intended to maximize interest revenue rather than protect consumers from unintended debt. 

This issue is particularly problematic given that this is a branded airline credit card marketed on the basis of travel benefits. Once interest charges are incurred, the cards value proposition collapses, yet Citibank continued to allow interest to accrue silently while collecting both interest and an annual fee. 

I believe this constitutes an unfair and deceptive practice, as the autopay system is structured in a way that reasonably leads consumers to believe they are protected from interest when they are not. The lack of clear disclosure and absence of proactive warnings is predatory in effect, even if technically permitted. 

I am requesting : 1. A review of the interest charges applied to my account resulting from this autopay configuration 2. A refund or credit of interest charges assessed during the period in which my account was unknowingly set to minimum-payment autopay 3. Confirmation that my account is now set to pay the full statement balance going forward 4. An explanation of why Citibank allows minimum-payment autopay to be set or maintained without explicit, repeated consumer acknowledgment of the interest consequences I am also requesting that Citibank review its autopay design and disclosure practices to prevent other consumers from being placed into unintended revolving debt.
