Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information is missing that should be on the report
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
1- A representative at XXXX XXXX informed me that I have a gold XXXX XXXX XXXX since XXXX but under a different name and in another state ( i have only ever applied for any/all credit/ debit cards in only one state ( residence ) 2- I received great communication with the fraud department of XXXX XXXX and was informed that i will receive more information via regular mail only. 

3- I have been dealing with several issues with the mail and failed to receive replacement cards for two other banks since XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX 4- I created an account with XXXX and discovered through the website that the XXXX XXXX letter had been sent but my mailbox was completely empty so i filed a claim for the missing piece.

5- There are several inaccuracies regarding both my personal information and credit card history on my credit report and I have spent endless hours trying to have the information corrected only to find the issue growing larger.

6- On my credit report 2 completely separate bank accounts were combined as one. XXXX and XXXX  XXXX ( XXXX XXXX ). I could not make any sense of these XXXX credit cards were opened years apart and XXXX had been closed several years ago. I also couldnt find any statements related to capital XXXX so i called capital XXXX and XXXX and XXXX with no luck.

7- On this day, i found that both XXXX and XXXX XXXX were entirely removed from my credit report as if they never existed. 

8- The initial reason i made all these calls before deciding to report is that i had assumed there to be some form of misunderstandings as both XXXX XXXX and XXXX  XXXX had been closed as a result of my recent divorce. 

9- XXXX  tricked me into believing my account had been closed during a few times i went to shop there without my card but with the provided drivers license and SSN. I was told my account was closed but i knew i had paid it off so I figured it was just their decision as I had similar experience with my Rooms to go account. I later discovered that the macys account had been opened for months with recurring charges and then closed! 

10- I had been instructed that i can freeze my XXXX through a local social security office And i did exactly that and even received a confirmational email of the freeze. This happened on XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX ( I scanned the ticket number XXXX ) however the email associated with this visit was hacked and i no longer have access to it. 

Note : XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX  was closed late XXXX or early XXXX no actual information specific to this account shows on my credit report.
