Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem when making payments — Problem during payment process
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX, I paid my Credit Card bill early ( was due XX/XX/XXXX ) and the minimum payment was {$60.00}. I paid {$270.00}. On XXXX my Credit limit was reduced for no reason, from {$3000.00} to {$2800.00}. I WAS NEVER LATE ON PAYMENTS AND ALWAYS PAID MORE. The payment of {$270.00} was suppose to cover the minimum payment of {$60.00} and leave me with an available credit of {$210.00}. Instead, they TOOK {$190.00} and left me with {$83.00}. I called and requested a refund for the remaining {$130.00} on XX/XX/XXXX and the representative informed me that a REQUEST would be made for it and it has to be APPROVED. She said that it would take 3-5 business days. I called on XX/XX/XXXX to check the status. The 1st Rep hung up on me after trying to tell me that my {$270.00} was for over drawing on my card, which isnt true. My account is current and my min payment was only for {$60.00}. The next Rep, transferred me to collections after I asked for her to transfer me to a Supervisor. Collections transferred me back to ANOTHER rep. This rep states that my request is still under review for APPROVAL. I am demanding my money back. Nothing should be under APPROVAL if its MY MONEY. The extra was to have as a cushion for an avail balance, not for them to take, in addition to the min payment, and leave me with {$83.00}. They refunded me XXXX and now my avail credit is {$0.00}. Once I pay this card off, I do not want anything more to do with Citi. They are predatory and a rip off.

Product: Checking or savings account — Other banking product or service
Issue: Managing an account — Banking errors
Company: TRUIST FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I went into the bank to talk to XXXX XXXX about accounts being merged when Truist and SunTrust merged. I had an account called a rainy-day fund with a little over XXXX $ in it and it was never transferred or merged. I also had a business account that was supposed to be closed with a XXXX balance and the bank later told me that I owed money. 

I had also spoken with online customer service reps about this incident and went into a Truist bank and requested a list of accounts that were under my name, ssn or tax id and was denied. I was told that they could not do that. 

The bank also makes excessive overdraft credits and sometimes unnecessarily. I can log in and adjust the balance before the bank does and then the next day it will show up on my account that the bank has also made an adjustment and sometimes the credits don't make sense or the money that did not need moving doesn't get back to its destination. 

The main reason is because in my personal online account under my profile states that my information is shared meaning it is linked or being used in another profile. The bank has not given me any explanation for this other than a general statement they can't find anything under my profile.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
My account with Equifax was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX  XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. 


This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment reported to be removed.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date.

Equifax Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. 


This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer! 


Delete the late payments from my consumer reports
