Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: KY

Complaint narrative:
Due to repeated unauthorized charges on Citi card XXXX, their agent closed that card XX/XX/year>. A new card XXXX was issued. {$59.00} in disputed charges was rolled over from the original card to the new card. I have since received letters from Citi acknowledging the dispute ( s ) for the charges has been resolved. However, because the dispute resolution corresponds with the original card # the 'credit ' and removal of the charges is not getting applied to the current card. Therefore, Citi is continuing to seek payment of money I DON'T owe. This has resulted in them adding unwarranted late fees & interest my account. I have had repeated calls with their customer service department but the seemingly can't access the closed card and therefore just keep insisting I pay. I have sent 3 certified letters to what I believe to be the home office starting just before XXXX and only once receiving a response which did result in them removing a {$29.00} late fee but insisted I pay the {$1.00} interest charge ( which I did ) NOW, they have reported this account as 'past due " which has caused a decrease in my credit score from XXXX to XXXX. Please can you help resolve this?

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
Equifax has reported negative information on my credit file without my consent or authorization. I have never signed any application permitting this agency to report such information. I have requested proof, including a signed application or contract along with my valid drivers license, but neither Equifax nor the reporting agency has provided this documentation. This raises serious concerns about Equifaxs compliance with FCRA regulations, which require a permissible purpose for accessing and reporting consumer credit information. 
First Point Collections Resource Opened : XX/XX/year> : {$880.00} ( Identity Theft ) The unauthorized reporting has negatively impacted my credit score and financial standing, causing significant hardship. I have not granted them the authority to access or report any information about me under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Their failure to comply with these legal requirements has caused undue harm to my credit standing. I respectfully request that the CFPB investigate this matter and take immediate action to have this derogatory information removed from my credit report. I have repeatedly communicated my concerns to Equifax, including sending notarized documents via first-class mail regarding these fraudulent credit card accounts, which were never authorized. Despite this, Equifax continues to badger, bully, and psychologically harass me. I need verifiable proof that these credit transactions were initiated by me, as well as proof of identity to confirm who applied for these frivolous debts.

Complaint narrative:
A few days ago i noticed a significant drop in my credit score so i went online to view my credit report to see why and i noticed an extreme amount of inquiries on them. I believe i have a fraud alert on all my credit profiles and have had one on them for a few years. I was under the assumption that the fraud alert would help avoid these situations and in order to obtain or attempt to apply for any type of credit i would have to be notified first to give consent for any type of inquiry. To the best of my knowledge i was never contacted by any of these companies for permission nor have i ever gave any type of written consent.

Complaint narrative:
I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach.
