Complaint narrative:
Complaint filed on XX/XX/XXXX with original company - they continue to send me collection letters from different credit companies. The original debt was {$280.00}. You do not pay more for debt when you purchase it. Being in the default industry you buy debt for pennies on the dollar. This company is stating I owe them 5x times the amount of the original amount. The original creditor was XXXX XXXX XXXX. The collection agency assigned to this debt was XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) account # XXXX. XXXX sold this collection account on XX/XX/XXXX (  approximately ) to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX ( account number XXXX XXXX ) and the amount of {$1500.00}. I am confused. Former complaint number : XXXX. Now this debt which is passed the statute of limitations in the state of Texas is sold to this company who is now harassing regarding this debt and has placed it on my credit reports for all 3 bureaus. 

Texas Surety bond information as required by Sec. 392.101 -  my original signature on the application from the creditor - my original signature on an application with your office consenting to any service. Please note XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX are bonded in the state of Texas and are required to comply with Texas Finance Code.

I request immediate notification by mail if this alleged debt is sold or transferred per Sec. 392.301 ( a ) ( 4 ). 

Please reply with your response via US MAIL. Do not contact me by phone as it is inconvenient. Do not contact my family, acquaintances, or employer in any manner. Please note I am fully prepared to pursue my rights for the harm this inaccuracy has done to me. Sec. 392.403. CIVIL REMEDIES. ( a ) A person may sue for : ( 1 ) injunctive relief to prevent or restrain a violation of this chapter ; and ( 2 ) actual damages sustained as a result of a violation of this chapter.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX chose to switch my XXXX XXXX  credit card to another account without notifying me, failed to send notices of due dates and amount due, and the reported me as 30 days late to credit agencies ( 3 ). I have protested this to Capital One and the reporting agencies without satisfactory changes to the reports. Complicating the situation was was serious illnesses, XXXX, and multiple XXXX, during which I had to rely upon others to pay my bills, which made receiving those bills in a timely manner necessary to pay them in a timely manner. When I was able to follow up about paying the bill, Capital one could not find my account, because they had transferred the balance to a different account with a new number, which they reported as past due. When they tracked down the account I paid the entire balance. They still would NOT change the report to make it accurate.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
Experian is impossible to reach to place a credit freeze on my credit. Both XXXX and XXXX were able to freeze my credit online. Experian can not verify my identity online, by phone, OR BY MAIL WITH PROOF OF IDENTITY. I 've simply been rejected for a credit freeze no matter which route I take, and it is impossible to reach a live human being to sort out the issue at Experian. Experian seems to be intentionally frustrating consumers and making it difficult to place security freezes through any option they make available including mail. How am I supposed to protect myself when I ca n't place a credit freeze by design? This company should be reprimanded for not providing the services they claim to offer and intentionally defrauding consumers as a shady credit bureau.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I applied for a CitiBusiness platinum credit card which offered XXXX XXXX XXXX bonus points if you charged {$3000.00} in the first 90 days. I did fulfill this requirement but Citi said I had opened or closed a credit card within the past 24 months which disqualified me from the bonus points. They stated that I closed my last CitiBusiness card in XXXX of XXXX, which is not true. 

My final payment on my previous card was XX/XX/XXXX, and I called and cancelled the card on XX/XX/XXXX and at the same time confirmed a XXXX balance. Citi has no recording or any verification whatsoever that documents their XX/XX/XXXX date. 

I have made 3 calls to Citi with this information and they still send me a form letter stating that I had opened the present card in less than 24 months. I spoke to a supervisor by the name of XXXX in my last conversation on XXXX XXXX who stated she would contact the department involved ( I would not be able to talk to them directly ) and would call me back the next day ( XX/XX/XXXX ). I authorized her to leave a complete message on my message machine if she did not reach me. She never called.
