Issue: Fees or interest — Unexpected increase in interest rate
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I received a change of terms notification with an unjustified increase in APR. I have an exception pay history, increased credit score and more ability to pay now than in the past. However, I've been informed my APR on my Citi XXXX XXXX is increasing from XXXX to XXXX. This is a five-point increase and the only thing they will tell me is that it was a change in terms and there's nothing they can do. I've asked if this is a penalty and they tell me the majority of XXXX members who hold this XXXX card are undergoing a similar review. I spoke with 3 representatives at XXXX, a representative at Citi and a supervisor at Citi. This is an unwarranted money grab by a major corporation.

Company: Media Collections, Inc

Complaint narrative:
I received a letter dated XX/XX/year> from Media Collections , Inc., DBA, Joseph , Mann & Creed, stating that I owe a debt of {$400.00} I quickly sent a certified letter back asking the collector to verify that this bet is mine. This is because I believe the debt is actually a family members debt ( my deceased mother, XXXX XXXX XXXX ) not mine. They responded back with a letter with no proof showing that the debt is minejust amount owed, account #, and just listing me as the customer. After reviewing the collector online, I feel they are going to put an unverified entry on my credit report and hold the credit report hostage until I pay for an unverified debt.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to request assistance with multiple inaccuracies on my credit report that have adversely impacted my credit standing. Despite my efforts to resolve these issues directly with both creditors and credit reporting agencies, I have not received a satisfactory resolution. These inaccuracies include erroneous information regarding account details, duplicated accounts, outdated collection entries, incorrect open or closed account statuses, and unauthorized inquiries, all of which create a misleading portrayal of my creditworthiness. I kindly ask the CFPB to require the involved parties to correct, delete, or update the disputed information on my credit report in line with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), so that my credit report can reflect my accurate financial history. I am attaching supporting documents and I look forward to your assistance in resolving this matter promptly. Thank you for your attention to this request.
