Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
This letter is in response to your letter on XX/XX/2017 related to the debt referenced above. I have settled this debt and paid it in full. However, since this was done over 3 years after the property in question was short sold, paying off this debt has restarted the clock as to when the last action on the property took place to when the debt was paid.

I have paid this debt in full, and it has severely damaged my credit, and took away my ability to buy a house. I am requesting that you delete this account, since it is no longer open, and is paid in full, it will not harm you to now delete this item.

According to The XXXX letter reporting a derogatory account IS a collection activity, and after the debt is settled ALL collection activities must cease.

Please be aware that this is not an acknowledgment or acceptance of the debt, as I have not received any verification of the debt. Nor is this a promise to pay and is not a payment agreement unless you provide a response as detailed below.

I am aware that your company has the ability to report this debt to the credit bureaus as you deem necessary.

Furthermore, you have the ability to change the listing since you are the information furnisher.

Please forward your agreement to the address listed above. You have 10 days to respond to this letter. I will be in contact with you to resolve this matter ASAP!

I was tricked into paying off this account but the companies council. This was only months before attempting to obtain a mortgage, this showing on my credit report as recently paid did extensive damage to my credit worthiness. This account was well passed the SOL period where it should be affecting my credit report.

Talking with this company I was told that the payment they wanted was a settlement for my account. I talked to Williams and Fudge XX/XX/XXXX about settling my debt and what they would do to my account. They told me since it's a settlement it will clear my account and it would be off. On XX/XX/XXXX I made the payment and was told the payment would post to my account in 20 days and I would receive receipts via email I never got.

Issue: Managing an account — Problem using a debit or ATM card
Company: Comerica
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am a XXXX year old XXXX recipient through the US Treasury supported XXXX XXXX Card.  In XX/XX/2017, my debit card was stolen and the fraudsters stole over {$1200.00} from my much needed balance in a matter of two days. Their spendings were clearly on vendors and items that Ive never used before. Due to my old age, I have had my son serve as my fiduciary and has a legal power of attorney to handle my affairs for years now. He called and cancelled the card through XXXX XXXX within two days of the card being lost. However, when we filed the claim with XXXX XXXX, they rejected the claim because my son, who serves as my fiduciary and legal Power of Attorney, had the card ( along with all my other cards ) in his possession last when it was lost. XXXX XXXX says in their denial letter that they are denying the claim in accordance to Federal Regulation E which governs Electronic Funds Transfers : If a consumer furnishes an access access device and grants authority to make transfers to another, such as a family member or co-worker, who exceeds authority given, the consumer is fully liable for the transfers unless the consumer has notified the financial institution that the transfers by that person is no longer authorized. 
They are insinuating that my son is the one who spent the money but he and I have filed a police report ( to exonerates him ) and a simple look at the transaction will show the bank the transaction are done with vendors that we have never used and did not require a PIN. It is shameful for a company ( XXXX XXXX ) that the Treasury department refers its recipients to will to this low to prevent a XXXX year old from accessing this much needed cash. Every other bank weve filed a claim with has always simply refunded the funds while conducting their investigation. The company that should be more friendly to their aged and helpless customers is the one who declines the claims. This money has been outstanding for nearly a year and we dont know where else to turn to. Ive called repeatedly to their fraud department at the number provided on the Denial letter and they havent returned not one phone call. Please please please help us retrieve my much needed money.
