Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year> I opened a personal checking account with Citibank at their branch located at the address XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, FL XXXX. 

I was offered a nice deal, if I were to receive over {$3000.00} in direct deposits and keep at least {$3000.00} in my account for over 90 days I would receive a {$320.00} bonus in my account. 

I met both of these requirements. Within the first week of opening my account I received over {$3000.00} in direct deposits, and I kept over {$3000.00} in my checking account from XX/XX/year> all the way until the current date, XX/XX/year>. 

Despite meeting the requirements they failed to give me the cash bonus and when I called and asked about it they refused to give me the cash bonus.

I did some further research and it turns out I am not the only one who had
Citblank blatantly lie to them about these cash bonuses. I found multiple complaints online of people saying the same exact thing happened to them. Below are just some of numerous complaints I found where people experienced the same as me : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX As you can see, a clear pattern has been established here.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint against the three major credit bureausXXXX Equifax, and XXXX ongoing, systemic violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and failure to comply with Metro 2 Format and CDIA industry standards.

Despite submitting multiple disputes concerning inaccurate, unverifiable, and/or outdated negative items on my credit reports, the credit bureaus have consistently responded with vague verified as accurate outcomeswithout producing a single shred of documentary evidence or conducting a lawful investigation as required under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ). 

Instead, they rely on the deeply flawed and automated e-OSCAR system, which merely forwards dispute codes to furnishers and accepts their response without independent verification. This practice has been widely criticized by the CFPB and ruled inadequate in court.

Violations and Legal Basis : The following violations form the basis of this complaint : 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) Failure to maintain reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) Failure to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( b ) Furnisher failure to correct or delete disputed information Metro 2 and CDIA Guidelines Failure to comply with reporting format and data integrity standards Further, the credit bureaus use of e-OSCAR has been ruled insufficient in legal precedent : " A credit reporting agency may not rely blindly on the [ furnisher 's ] investigation. The agency has an obligation to conduct a reasonable investigation itself. '' Cushman v. Trans Union Corp., 115 F.3d 220 ( 3rd Cir. XXXX ) These harms are measurable, preventable, and attributable to willful negligence and disregard of consumer protection law.

My father passed away and we sold his home. It had a heloc, which was satisfied at sale thereby releasing the lien on the property.

They are requesting i fill out a packet and include my birth certificate. I just want the line of credit closed and the refund sent to his estate. The number on the letter told.me to go to the bank. I contacted them and they say that I need to talk to the number on the letter. There is no need to complete any further paperwork.

Complaint narrative:
The reported late payments and charge-off accounts are inaccurate, incomplete, and unverifiable. The furnishers have failed to provide original, documented proof that these alleged delinquencies occurred. Without legally required validation, continued reporting of this negative information is a direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ).

Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I attempted to access a free XXXX month trial offered by XXXX 
Instead of a free trial, I was immediately billed XXXX for an annual subscription on my Apple card that I never agreed to. On top of that, I was also charged XXXX for a separate writing service that I never authorized at all. I did not knowingly consent to either charge. When I tried to cancel, there was no working cancellation method. 
Their website provided no option to end the subscription and only listed an email address that did not respond. This was clearly contrary to their own FAQ, which advertised cancellation anytime. After repeated attempts, the company briefly replied to remove the dispute " So that we can refund you, '' acknowledging the problem, but then they stopped responding altogether. I never received a refund. I filed disputes with Apple Card and submitted documentary proof including screenshots showing XXXX usage of either the XXXX or XXXX plans, screenshots showing that my account was later marked cancelled without refund, and a copy of the company 's own FAQ promising easy cancellation. I also included evidence that over XXXX third of Trustpilot reviews report similar unauthorized billing and refusal to cancel. Despite this, Goldman Sachs rejected both disputes. My dispute for XXXX was denied on XX/XX/year>. My dispute for XXXX was denied on XX/XX/year>. In both cases, Goldman Sachs used only boilerplate text claiming there was " no evidence to substantiate the claim '' without explaining why the extensive documentation was disregarded. Both temporary credits were reversed and the charges rebilled. Goldman Sachs is allowing this merchant, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX operating as XXXX, to continue charging Apple Card customers despite a pattern of fraudulent billing and consumer complaints. I'm requesting full refund and explanation of why both disputes were rejected despite evidence and merchant review of eligibility of authorizing charges.
