State: TX

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX payments XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX. I was never late and any payment processing issues would have been for technical reasons. I had autopayment setup and never had any issues before. I was not at home during the time of these payment processing errors so I was not aware. I had been in the hospital with COVID symptoms while battling other illnesses related to my combat service in XXXX. I have been determined to be XXXX percent XXXX and am really affected by the stress of fighting to get these late payment records removed. They were not mine. I always have money and savings. Please do not hold me accountable for technical issues and health issues. Please show compassion. I suffered identity theft at that time, and its possible that a card was locked by my bank while I was in the hospital and overseas. I was not aware of any issues. I have paid off the card completely with a large payment months ago. Please don't keep me begging for this to be resolved. Please escalate to a XXXX that could help me with this request. I am exhausted with this. I deserve to be believed and help. I have paid this debt in full. It clear that I wasn't trying to avoid paying the debt. I have been an exclusive lifelong customer. Please do not punish me for being incapacitated and not ware of the technical issues that may have caused payment processing errors. Also why is XXXX reporting my account as closed? There is such inconsistency here. Even the dates of last update were different on some of the credit reports. Please delete this late payments. They are not the result of me not paying. Its a technical issue that was resolved later than we would have liked.

Complaint narrative:
I am unable to allocate payments toward promotional balances. On XX/XX/23 at XXXX pm XXXX, I called XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) to make a payment in the amount of {$260.00}, 100 % of which should go towards my promotional balance which expires on XX/XX/XXXX. I spoke with XXXX XXXX XXXX. My due date is the XXXX day of each month and my next payment due is XX/XX/23. I wanted to pay the promotional balance to avoid interest, but the Agent refused to allocate the payment as I requested. She stated that " she can take the payment but will not allocate 100 % of the payment toward my promotional balance, instead the payment will go towards the minimum monthly payment first ''. My due date is XX/XX/23. I have XXXX days to pay a minimum payment on XX/XX/23. When I asked to bring a decision-maker to the call, she stated that " there is no one above me ''. That means that the entire shift of Citibank reps was without a decision-maker to cover consumer issues. The policies of Citibank are designed in favor of a financial institution. Consumers have no way to allocate payments as needed in an effort to avoid paying interest. The policy now is designed in a way that if consumers want to pay down their XXXX special promotional balances throughout XXXX months each month, they have to pay a monthly minimum first and only then the remaining will be allocated toward promotional balanced. There is no flexibility given to consumers. Unethical and deceptive practices by Citibank.

Complaint narrative:
Please help me understand why the bureaus are still reporting accounts that are inaccurate, unproven, unverified, and definitely NON-COMPLIANT with the FCRA/FDCPA laws. It is very frustrating that this has been going on for several months and they have not given me any or enough evidence to prove that these accounts they keep posting in my report are verified and true. I have been continuously denied getting loans because of this. This should have been resolved months ago but they don't seem to care at all.

Complaint narrative:
I received my Capital One Walmart rewards card in XX/XX/2022. I at that point activated it for use. I received a bill automatically even though I hadn't had in my possession the card for the previous billing cycle. Capital One afforded me grace at that point. I began to make payments immediately most of which were always early never late and always at least a couple dollars more than minimum due. I checked my reports for reported payments and noticed the payments I was making weren't being reported I utilized a phone call recording app to ensure truthfulness. I confronted Capital One asking why payments weren't being reported as well as informing them that they were speaking on a recorded line due to them recording myself as well. The agent became highly aggressive and made forms of threatening vocabulary. I live in XXXX, a XXXX party consent state and I was a direct party to the communication. I requested transcripts of the conversation which was denied. According to my 3 in 1 credit report Capital One claims I'm severely behind on payments however on their website claims only XXXX  months. They continue to send worry some emails even after being told that I no longer feel that I should continue to make payments due to the majority of my payments not being reported as the law requires. I informed them during our last communication that I am not going to continue to go above and beyond to make on time payments to them due to the fact that payments weren't being reported at all as well as the inappropriate demeanor and threatening manner of the customer service agent when confronted with my payments not being reported as they are still not documented properly. I DO NOT feel that due to their conduct, should be entitled to make myself hold my end of the bargain, when during the time that I honored my payments, they didn't properly honor their end. They continue to impose themselves on my reports negatively as of up to date.

I started noticing that planet fitness is charging extra fee from my XXXX  card on autopayments. I talked to them and the bank to return my money. The bank returned my money once and charged back. It's happening every month and I requested the bank Capital one to block this vendor as the gym is not listening to my request and they are charging over charges despite of several contacts. The bank is not blocking the vendor. I changed the credit card even then the amount was charged again. I want all my money back and the bank should stop harassing me.
