Complaint narrative:
A f

ew weeks ago I sent letters to all 3 credit bureaus regarding some items on my credit report which I know are not accurate which is a violation of the FCRA and FDCPA and you must abide by the law. Everything I have provided in my letters is true and accurate to my knowledge. Ive received emails and letters saying Im using a 3rd party which is incorrect because I am the one sending my letters out and filing this complaint with no help from a credit repair company or 3rd party. The CRAs are in violation of my rights due to not providing a notice of dispute and for failure to communicate to me that I disputed stuff on my credit. I request these accounts to be deleted from my credit asap or I will take legal action and hire a lawyer. I want to purchase a house soon and this holding me back. I would like the items I disputed in my letters to be handled accordingly based on the reasons that I put in my letters.

Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive notice of right to dispute
Company: NCB Management Services Inc.
State: WI

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX of XXXX I was contacted by NCB stating I owed a debt for a cash advance and they now owned it. I was unsure of the debt, as the only one I had knowledge of taking out was paid off years ago. I requested information on the debt be mailed to me. I recieved nothing. I did not hear from them again. Not even information on their company or my rights. In XXXX of XXXX I recieved a notice that there was a collection account on my credit report and my score dropped XXXX points. Despite them not providing me a validation notice or the validation I requested. I filed a dispute and sent them another request for validation of the debt. I tried to call and talk to someone but they said no one was available and to call back later that day. They finally mailed me the original agreement I signed and a very basic financial record to close the dispute on my credit report. I contacted them again and requested more validation of the record, because it didn't show any of the details for the advance or payment information. I am still waiting on it to see how to progress.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.

Complaint narrative:
When I discovered my XXXX XXXX dropped XXXX points I looked to find out why, because I worked so hard to not be late and keep my credit score high and pay my revolving accounts on time. I discovered I owed {$14.00} to XXXX XXXX and I paid it immediately, then I requested the account be closed because I didn't want this to happen again. I contacted XXXX XXXX by phone and they discovered they had the wrong address on my account, and I never received a bill. I asked them to contact all 3 credit bureaus to request the delinquent status be removed. They assured me they put that request in. I also disputed the delinquent status with all 3 credit bureaus. It appears that XXXX and XXXX removed the 30 to 90 day delinquent status but XXXX refused to remove it from my credit report, statingThe credit reportsme delinquent. It was only {$14.00} and I never received a bill. So to have my XXXX XXXX severely affected XXXX point Negative seems extremely excessive. appreciated.
