Complaint narrative:
I am writing to request assistance with multiple inaccuracies on my credit report that have adversely impacted my credit standing. Despite my efforts to resolve these issues directly with both creditors and credit reporting agencies, I have not received a satisfactory resolution. These inaccuracies include erroneous information regarding account details, duplicated accounts, outdated collection entries, incorrect open or closed account statuses, and unauthorized inquiries, all of which create a misleading portrayal of my creditworthiness. I kindly ask the CFPB to require the involved parties to correct, delete, or update the disputed information on my credit report in line with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), so that my credit report can reflect my accurate financial history. I am attaching supporting documents and I look forward to your assistance in resolving this matter promptly. Thank you for your attention to this request.

Complaint narrative:
I've been calling US Bank for two months. Because this company unilaterally blocked my card, and no one is there to solve the problem. Even if I tell my supervisor that I want to talk to them, they won't change it. I called this company. If you say that the person who received the call will unconditionally transfer the call to another department, saying that it is not your responsibility, automatic voice and music will come out of the speaker... I have never paid my US Bank card fee late... I want to open this card... two months While employees work together I put it off and don't answer the phone. Is the US Bank card company operating in the United States? It's so unfriendly and it's been 3 months since I called this company. I really want to know. Is there any way to put this company at a disadvantage?

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX of this year I inquired about opening a Citi Double Cash credit card to reap the benefits of 18 months 0 % interest on balance transfers. I received an email, attached below, confirming the approval for the account. When the card arrived in the mail the card number would not let me log in. Upon further calls to the company another account was found linked to the card. I asked if they could send me the correct card and cancel the one that had been sent to me. The team member on the other line told me closing the account would potentially negatively impact my XXXX XXXX. Instead they offered me a promotional for opening a second account and cash rewards for using the second card. Though I did not open this account or intend on using it I made peace with getting money for having the second account opened. 
Before leaving on vacation for XXXX break I contacted Citi Bank to inquire on receiving the original first credit card and to let them know I would be using the second while out of town and then out of country. Upon arriving back home the card was hacked shortly after and I still did not have a card for the first account. Citi bank contacted me and we agreed to cancel the card and issue another. 
After that conversation, my app for blocked due to security reasons to which I called the company back and let them know I had spoken to someone about the issue. The woman on the other end told me the card was still open and nothing had been sent out. We then worked together to get my original and replacement cards finally sent out. 
After all of this the Monday before XXXX I received XXXX Citi Double Cash cards in the mail attached to XXXX different accounts with my name on them. I called today, XXXX XXXX XXXX, to try to get clarification and spoke to a XXXX but still did not receive any information as to how another account was opened to transfer funds into, a previous account was canceled or why I had not received any perks for having this second account opened without my consent.
