Complaint narrative:
Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to provide an update on the complaint against Citibank ( Case # XXXX ) and to request your assistance in resolving a discrepancy in Citibank 's recent correspondence. 
In response to the complaint filed by my daughter, XXXX XXXX, Citibank sent a letter to me dated XX/XX/year> ( Citi Reference Number : XXXX ). In this letter, Citibank stated that a check in the

amount of {$36000.00} was mailed to me under separate cover, and I should receive it within 7-10 business days.

However, on XX/XX/year>, I received an official check from Citibank in the amount of {$29000.00}. This amount does not match the {$36000.00} mentioned in their letter. I have requested clarification from Citibank to determine if the {$29000.00} check represents the accurate amount of refunds.

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. 

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Formal Complaint Against Predatory Lending Practices Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to file a formal complaint against predatory lending practices I experienced during the purchase of my car, financed through Flagship Credit Acceptance. The dealership, XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, OH presented the loan payments as bi-weekly payments to showcase a lower payment compared to my current car payment. However, these bi-weekly payments effectively doubled my monthly payment. 

At the time of purchase, my current car was nearly paid off and in good condition. The dealership doubled my interest rate and added every possible extended warranty and maintenance program to the loan. They assured me that I would be able to refinance the loan within six months, a promise that has proven to be false. 

Currently, my loan carries an interest rate of 20 %, resulting in a high monthly payment of {$1200.00}, in addition to {$150.00} for car insurance. A significant portion of these payments is applied towards interest, making it difficult to make any substantial progress on the principal balance. As a result, the car 's current value is approximately {$26000.00}, while the loan payoff amount stands at {$46000.00}. 

This significant disparity between the car 's value and the loan payoff amount has left me unable to refinance the loan, as no other lender is willing to assume the current payoff amount from Flagship. Given these circumstances, I am finding it increasingly challenging to keep the account current and maintain my financial obligations. 

I am requesting a reduction in the interest rate to a more reasonable level, which would allow me to make consistent and affordable monthly payments towards the principal, ultimately enabling me to pay off the loan. Or that the dealership, buy back the car. Additionally, I would like to discuss the possibility of establishing a more manageable payment arrangement that reflects the current market value of the car and my ability to pay. 

I believe that the practices employed by the dealership and Flagship are unfair and deceptive, and I am seeking your assistance in resolving this matter. Thank you for your attention to this serious issue.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/2023, I provided Equifax with a significant volume of evidence exposing the fraudulent and unauthorized nature of the accounts tarnishing my credit file. This comprehensive submission, including a legitimate report from the Federal Trade Commission with a NOTARIZED ( FTC ), and indisputable proof of identification, should have merited the immediate removal of the nefarious account. Despite my ongoing submission of extensive documentation outlining the inaccuracies of these accounts and the impropriety of its reinstatement, the lack of reinvestigation is deeply troubling because all items are supposed to be investigated before they are added to credit report. In adherence to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the failure to verify the debt within 30 days mandates its immediate removal. Your correspondence asserting debt " verification '' is blatantly false under the law. It is obvious that unauthorized individuals have exploited my information, and merely confirming matching data does not constitute a valid verification process. ACCOUNTS IN QUESTION : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX. Provide evidence they are mine, or delete them. These Accounts are Not Identifiable, and unlawfully reporting on my credit report. Equifax is unable to verify the accuracy and proof of ownership for these accounts, which constitutes a direct violation of the FCRA. Equifax 's conduct constitutes violations of 15 USC 1611 criminal liability, 15 USC 1681n civil liability for willful noncompliance, punitive damages, deceptive practices, negligence, and defamation of character under permissible purpose 15 USC 1681. I demand that Equifax take immediate corrective action to rectify the inaccuracies in my credit report or I will pursue legal actions to recoup compensation for the damages I have suffered as a result of their actions. Attached is a certified UCC 11 information request form showing no liens or debt obligations in my name.
