Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I have been with CitiBank Best Buy Visa since XX/XX/XXXX when I signed up for a Best Buy Credit Card and purchased a XXXX XXXX XXXX and tv stand for around {$2300.00} ( of {$5000.00} ). Since XX/XX/XXXX, I have been making payments every month since per their promotion, I get 0 % APR for 24 months ( ending XX/XX/XXXX ). I have made payments of {$100.00}, {$110.00}, {$270.00}, and {$100.00} going on for 4 consecutive months. The {$270.00} was extra because I made some purchases on Best Buy and XXXX, so I payed more to cover what I just purchased. Today ( XX/XX/XXXX ) I checked my balance on my account and noticed it was {$2300.00}. This confused me because the balance should be a lot lower. I called Customer Service and the first person was very rude. She hung up on me. The second person could not properly explain why my balance was higher. Where did this {$600.00} that I paid for go? Why is my balance higher than my original purchase? Almost as if none of those payments went through, yet according to my bank ( XXXX ) they have. And I have screenshots on my credit card account that they went through. In total if you don't count my payments and those additional purchases, I would owe around {$2500.00}. If you subtract that it would be around {$1900.00}. So where is this extra charge coming from? I triple checked all purchases made on this card and it all added up to around {$2500.00}. I also subtracted my payments ( that I made on time and paid more than the {$30.00} minimum ), yet where did this $ go? Which leads me to believe that Citibank has frauded me. They have taken that money and have not applied it to my balance. They were also very uncooperative and that first person hung up on me. I told them that until the issue is fixed to put a hold on my credit card and that I would not be submitting any more payments since the next is due on XX/XX/XXXX. I have XXXX other credit cards over the past 3 years and have never experienced anything like this. It is very odd and these other purchases made were very recent and would not have interest accumulated. After researching I hear they have done this to other people? This is greatly upsetting because I could not afford this TV upfront so I guess fell for the Best Buy credit card scam. This is ridiculous that my balance is not lower. Even more so that I have been a good client and have paid every month on time and more than the minimum. I specifically had {$100.00} set up because I calculated how much it would cost over the 24 months. Yet this company has taken my XXXX money ( I am a Permanently XXXX Veteran ) and has not applied it to this balance. Something needs to be done. Someone needs to hold this company 's malpractices accountable.

Time has already passed but up until now, I havent heard any kind of response from the 3Credit Bureaus which made me decide to seek assistance from you. They have shown negligence and an act of refusal of complying with my request. I know for a fact that they are to comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act law, provide proof, and documents, and give definite and accurate responses, within the given statutory time. However, if they failed to do so, they are obliged to remove or update the items which are erroneous and unverified. Their unfavorable and unacceptable actions have been hurting my credit scores immensely.

Complaint narrative:
Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to file a complaint against the credit reporting agencies ( Experian, XXXX, XXXX ) for not properly responding to my demand for wet ink signature agreements in the investigation for verification of the accounts making claims on my report. 

I have been trying to dispute inaccurate information on my credit report for several weeks now. 

I have contacted the credit reporting agencies multiple times and have sent them demand for wet ink signature agreements requesting that they investigate the accounts making claims on my report. 

However, the credit reporting agencies have not responded to my requests and only updated the information furnished from the same entities that initiated the erroneous claims to extort money from me and further injure my reputations I am frustrated and concerned that the credit reporting agencies are not taking my dispute seriously. 

The inaccurate information on my credit report is having a negative impact on my life. 

I am being denied credit because of the inaccurate information. 

I am also concerned that the credit reporting agencies are not following the laws and violating my rights. 

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) requires credit reporting agencies to investigate disputes and to correct inaccurate information and report in accordance to my written instructions. 

The credit reporting agencies are not complying with the FCRA by ignoring my requests and demands. 

I am requesting that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate the credit reporting agencies for their failure to respond to my demands for deletions of the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, all hard and soft inquires, and records of late payments including XX/XX/90 day late payment reporting on the grounds that my signature consent was never garnished in the reporting of any of my information, my rights were never disclosed which wasted even more valuable time, and this very nature of the credit reporting practices being discriminatory, predatory, and defamatory ; which has led to adverse actions preformed against me, wasted time, mental anguish, significant financial hardship, and an unjust monetary benefit at my expense due to their cooperation with other companies to extort me by deceptively violating my consumer credit transaction rights. 

I am also requesting that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau take action to ensure that the credit reporting agencies comply with the FCRA. 

Thank you for your time and consideration. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
