Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
Since XX/XX/2024, I have received repeated fraudulent charges on my citibank checking account/debit card from XXXX XXXX XXXX I have never had a XXXXXXXX XXXX account and never made or authorized purchases for anything from XXXX XXXX. On approximately 6 times, I've closed the debit card and had a new one issued. Yet, the fraudulent charges continue. I have called Citibank about 20 times and spend literally dozens of hours on the phone and each time I call, they have no record of my prior calls. Each time, I go through the fraudulent charges one by one, which now total well over 100 fraudulent charges exceeding {$2000.00} in total. And each time they promise a provisional credit, but I never get one. And each time I call back, they seem to have no record of me calling the prior time. Among the reference numbers from Citibank are : XXXX ; XXXX and XXXX, but there are more. 

On XX/XX/2024, I filed a complaint with the CFPB under XXXX. On XX/XX/2024, they credited me some of the charges back and on XX/XX/2024, this matter was closed by CFPB because Citibank claimed that they had credited the funds. Astonishingly, after the matter was closed, Citibank reversed the credits and has yet to provide any explanation. I have been trying to reach them for a month by email and by phone and not once have I received a response. It feels like this is deliberately deceptive practice by Citibank to avoid oversight in this matter.

Complaint narrative:
When my lease expired on XX/XX/2024, my remaining balance of {$120.00} at my apartment building ( XXXX  XXXX ) was sent to a collection agency called Resident Advocate. Resident Advocate gave me 60 days to pay the debt ( until XX/XX/XXXX ).

Complaint narrative:
I lodged a complaint against these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. Surprisingly, I haven't received any response or correspondence from the Bureaus, and they have already closed my complaint. Could you please explain why they closed my complaint without resolving the issue? Have they even acknowledged or verified my dispute? I need assurance that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report and validated the accounts. Can you provide details about the methods they used to verify my report? This situation is incredibly frustrating! It has been more than 30 days since I filed the complaint, and I expected these accounts to be updated by now. If they are not updated immediately, I will have no other option but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion data breach.
