Complaint narrative:
I report abuse of trust by a former co-worker in the process of processing the AUTO loan and where they took advantage of my good will and conducted a whole process of strong consultations with different banks and financial companies, through deception, manipulation and tricks. unscrupulous The car process is requested by XXXX XXXX ( XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX - Please see attached data / Digital backup ). XXXX XXXX asked me to help accompany her to her office ( XXXX XXXX ) on XX/XX/XXXX, because she was being offered a car and she wanted to know the amount of the monthly payment and financial responsibilities. - First. They checked her credit and her credentials. ( SSN ) And the salesperson who helped her at that time told her that her credit score is incredibly low and that she needed to present a guarantee and contribute a higher premium to the AUTO. Given that the monthly fee would be approximately USD XXXX to XXXX. 

Having this information, XXXX XXXX suggested to the seller that she try my personal credentials ( SSN ) to see the numbers and take advantage of my credit history and see if the monthly payment could be lowered. 

So, $ XXXX was a very heavy amount for her finances. She was looking for an average fee of approximately USD XXXX. 

I acted in good faith and with the healthy intention that we would try the alternatives and that she would make the best financial decision for her budget. She and the sales associate assured me that only XXXX inquiry would be made to the credit bureau and that it would be smooth. And it would not affect my score in the slightest. situation, which is NOT true at all. 

At no time do I request and/or provide my authorization for multiple inquiries to be made for credit validation and I NEVER request to be the main debtor and/or co-debtor in this credit process. 

Here, the deceived, used and useful fool has been my person. And I was almost scammed, due to this bad practice and abuse of trust from my former co-worker.

In addition they are reporting discrepancies with is an FCRA violation which include the following : Account Type : The account is reported as an " Installment '' type account. However, it is reported as an " Educational '' account on XXXX and XXXX. This is incorrect and misrepresents the nature of the account. 

Account Status : The account status is reported as " Derogatory '' on XXXX and XXXX 's reports, while XXXX reports it as " Paid. '' Date Opened : The date the account was opened is reported as XX/XX/XXXX, on XXXX 's report and XX/XX/XXXX, on XXXX 's and XXXX 's reports.

Issue: Trouble using your card — Can't use card to make purchases
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
I applied for a new card and received it in the mail and activated it. As I was attempting to add the card to XXXX XXXX as it requests in the app as part of the setup steps it asked to verify by sending a text to the phone number on file. I selected that option and never received the text. I tried to have them call and never received the call. I then called in to have them add the card to XXXX XXXX where they requested to call a landline which I dont have a landline to receive the code. They asked to call back later to get a verification code which I did and they called me back on my same number using call waiting and added it to XXXX XXXX. The representative said the card was unlocked and the fraud block lifted. After making a couple purchases on the card it got marked with a fraud alert again. I called back in and they asked if I had another bank account with citi I could verify with as well as a bank account I use to pay Citi which I did not have added yet. The only resolution has been to send a letter to my mailing address which will take 4-7 or 7-10 business days depending on which Citi rep you are talking to. They are preventing me from using my card as agreed on and they have not been able to tell me at all why the card was flagged as they were normal purchases they asked about and now the fraud block requires a different verification. The citi fraud team has been entirely unhelpful and the methods of verification dont have anything to do with my identity another landline apart from the number I applied for the account with shouldnt be the only alternate route to verify and I can provide ID background info etc but they are not consistent with the options I have to verify from one call to the next. I have requested a supervisor and it has been a terrible experience so far working with them. Part of the reason I applied for the card is due to the bonus miles from using the card but I am unable to spend on the card to achieve the bonus without access to my actual card so it feels a lot like a bait and switch so far. 

My ideal resolution to this would be that they are able to verify my identity so I can use the card and not wait for verification through mail in 7-10 business days when I just received the card to the same mailing address within the last 3 days so another piece of mail sent just proves I am at that address recieving mail but I obviously am if I have the card in my possession and activated it when they sent it to that address.

I was issued {$1000.00} gift card, and I was able to make two purchases successfully, but ever since then every single purchase I attempt gets denied. I called Amex multiple times, and they updated my billing address, but otherwise they were no help at all, and the card still doesn't work. They always say " try another merchant '' but I have tried dozens of different retailers and none of them work, including the place that it worked before. This is clearly a scam, which is evidenced by the hundreds of other people who have had the same complaint. I have XXXX  left on the card, and I need to be refunded the money.
