Specifically, your agency furnished reports in connection with credit or insurance transactions that I did not initiate ( inquiries ).

According to the law, a consumer reporting agency may only provide a consumer report for credit or insurance transactions not initiated by the consumer if : ( A ) The consumer authorizes the agency to provide the report, or ( B ) ( i ) The transaction involves a firm offer of credit or insurance.

Company: Carter-Young, Inc.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I received XXXX XXXX from XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. I attempted to pay the debt at my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX and was told that the debt was not showing in their system. Once learning that the debt was turned over to a collection agency in XX/XX/XXXX I made the payment via my bank 's bill pay. I realized that the debt was reported on my credit report as delinquent. I contacted all parties involved and provided the payment transaction number to the medical facility on XX/XX/XXXX. The doctor 's office confirmed the payment.. the rep from the doctor 's office said she would inform the credit collection agency of the payment. I was informed that the doctor 's office would notify the credit collection company Carter and Young, and my credit report would be updated. I checked my credit report, and it was still reported as delinquent. I disputed the credit filing with the credit bureau, and the finding was that the account was past due as of XX/XX/XXXX. This has caused financial hardship to my insurance rates ; interest rates have increased, and my credit limits have been decreased by my creditors, resulting in a lower credit score. I have been denied credit. This has caused financial hardship to me. I am requesting compensation for the damages caused.

" Method of Verification Dispute Notice : Remove these Fraudulent Accounts, Inquiries & Inaccurate Personal Information.

The banking system is contingent upon equitable and accurate credit reporting, as stated in the equitable Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ). The banking system 's efficacy is directly impacted by inaccurate credit reports, and the public 's confidence is undermined by unfair credit reporting methods, which are essential for the system 's continued operation. 

Therefore, the efficiency of the finance system is compromised whenever the FCRA is violated. This is a violation of my privacy with respect to my consumer report, as I have the authority to determine which items are included and which are not. Identity theft is the act of reporting any accounts without my written consent. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This results in civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n. The law permits a {$1000.00} fine per violation for each account listed without my expressed written assent.

I reviewed my consumer reports and observed accounts that I had never granted anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have taken on a critical role and are obligated to report consumer information with the utmost accuracy, as the Fair Credit Reporting Act explicitly stipulates. I did not provide written consent to report them. I am expressing my dissatisfaction with the contents of the attached file.

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

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX, I filed for XXXX XXXX XXXX due to a divorce and because I wanted to save my home. I successfully met my obligations and repaid all creditors who had submitted claims. In XXXX, I had to file for yet another XXXX XXXX XXXX and again due to a divorce. Once again, I fulfilled my obligations and repaid all creditors with claims. 

In XXXX, XXXX, I applied for a loan with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX that was denied. The company did a title search and disclosed to me a debt that appeared in the Schedule. It was at this point that I discovered the Citibank claim. If Citibank had responded to the bankruptcy request, the debt would have been repaid. 

I consulted with my bankruptcy attorneys regarding my options before my second bankruptcy was discharged in XX/XX/XXXX and they advised me to attempt a settlement with Citibank, as there were no other viable solutions. 

I began reaching out to Citibank but faced numerous obstacles with the company, including difficulty locating my account and unclear contact points. After finalizing the XXXX bankruptcy, I formally requested to settle the debt with Citibank. Despite multiple written settlement offers, all were denied, I was informed that Citibank 's policy only allows for settlements at half the amount owed. I thought, what was the purpose of my letters if they already knew what they would accept, I was totally frustrated. Although this may be an attempt to collect a debt, this debt has met a statue of limitations. Not to mention the unnecessary back and forth communication on this matter.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint against Citizens Bank NA regarding their inaccurate and misleading reporting of information to the credit reporting agencies. Specifically, Citizens Bank has reported the above-mentioned account as " charged off '' with a written-off amount of {$760.00}, which I dispute as incorrect.

Details of the Dispute : Inaccurate Reporting : Citizens Bank NA has reported my account [ XXXX ] as " charged off '' with a written-off amount of {$760.00}. This information is not only inaccurate but also damaging to my credit profile. 

Violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) : Citizens Bank NA has violated the FCRA by failing to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the information they report to the credit reporting agencies. This failure has resulted in a significant drop in my credit score and has impeded my ability to access credit.

Failure to Address Dispute : I have previously disputed this information with Citizens Bank NA, but the company has failed to correct the inaccuracies or provide a satisfactory explanation. Their lack of response and inaction are unacceptable. 

Legal Precedent : Under the ruling in XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ), creditors are required to ensure the accuracy of the information they report to credit bureaus. Citizens Bank NAs failure to comply with this legal obligation may expose them to liability for damages under the FCRA.

Requested Resolution : I request that the CFPB take the following actions : Initiate an Investigation : Conduct a thorough investigation into Citizens Bank NAs credit reporting practices to ensure compliance with the FCRA.

Correct the Inaccuracies : Require Citizens Bank NA to correct the inaccurate information on my credit report and update all three major credit reporting agencies accordingly.

Impose Penalties : Consider imposing penalties on Citizens Bank NA for their failure to accurately report information and for the harm caused to my financial standing. 

XXXX XXXX : Ensure that Citizens Bank NA implements proper procedures to prevent similar issues from occurring in the future.

Supporting Documents : I have attached a copy of my dispute letter to Citizens Bank NA, as well as my credit report showing the disputed account information.

Conclusion : Citizens Bank NAs actions have caused significant financial and emotional distress. I seek the CFPBs assistance in rectifying this situation and holding Citizens Bank NA accountable for their failure to comply with federal credit reporting laws.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
