Consumer complaint received 2022-08-21 00:00:00
Product: Payday loan, title loan, or personal loan — Installment loan
Issue: Problem with the payoff process at the end of the loan — 
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
To whom it may concern, I first sent my complaint about my Citibank loan that I had paid off to The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ( FDIC ). They reviewed my correspondence and noted that the bank I referenced is under the direct supervision of Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. They forwarded my copy to you. Below is what I had sent them, also. 

On XX/XX/2022, I received a personal installment loan of {$10000.00} from Citibank. On XX/XX/2022, I made my final payment of {$4000.00} on my Citibank app to pay off my personal installment loan. The loan then disappeared off my citi app because I was told by the representative that it disappears when the account is XXXX balance and paid off. I cant even access my account any more online. 

Then, I received a letter in the mail saying that my account is past due and thats when I called citibank to find out what was going on because I knew I had paid it off immediately in XXXX. Citibank said they did a payoff reversal on my amount but they dont know why and send it back to my XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX MI XXXX as I was told. 

Citibank told me to check with my credit union to see if they have a hold on my payment someplace. Upon calling my credit union they had told me that they do not and it doesnt show any credit reflected on my account of that payment being sent back to me so Citibank doesnt know where that money went and my credit union said theres evidence showing the transaction of {$4000.00} being withdrawn from my account to Citibank on my loan, so it was processed on that day of XX/XX/2022. 

When I called Citibank numerous times, I spoke to different customer service representatives and they were sending me to collections saying that I was behind on my monthly payment when I explained to them what had happened that I made that payment of {$4000.00} to pay off my personal installment loan and that my balance should be {$0.00}. 

I told Citibank that I have the transaction details from my credit union showing that that payment was sent to them and they responded by saying contact my credit union to see if they have the money someplace there and I did and they said no we do not and we have proof that you made that payment to Citibank. 

So Citibank continues to tell me that they did not receive the payment and they are demanding that I sent {$4000.00} when I already sent that payment to pay off my loan on XX/XX/2022. 

They have recordings of our conversations and I was very upset, because I told them that my credit score is very good and that Im not late on my payments due to being very responsible.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2022, one of the credit bureaus made an error by adding a hardship inquiry ( XXXX XXXX ) was added on to my file, which made my credit score decrease by XXXX points!! 

The inquiry was removed on XX/XX/2022 without restoring my credit score by adding XXXX points back to Mt score so it is XXXX once again. 

XXXX is what my fico was before Experian added by mistake, a hard inquiry and failed to restore XXXX points back to my credit score. 

Experian made this mistake, so I expect Experian to do the right thing and restore my credit score from XXXX currently, back to my original credit score of XXXX. 

Please see attachments as proof their mistake.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
After receiving numerous calls, emails, and mail from Equifax stating I was apart of some type Breach and to inquire on settlement options I checked my credit report. Upon checking I noticed several inaccurate unauthorized inquiries. I immediately reached out and disputed. Each dispute has quickly been closed and since, more randomized inquiries have appeared prompting me to pay hundreds of dollars on a personal protective system. It has also caused severe paranoia, prompting me to check my credit several times a day rather than a couple times a month. My other reports are secure, accurate and never been hacked or exploited. During each call I am offered no true assistance or resolve. I keep a very detailed personal record of the XXXX XXXX and accounts I apply for and know without a doubt I did not authorize the activity. They have completely dropped the ball to ensure safety and accuracy of my report and have caused decrease in score and hiked rates. * 2 from XXXX, 1 from XXXX, XXXX

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I have been unable to access my American Express account for over 3 months due to a login issue where I can't get past the two factor authentication because they have the incorrect email listed ( which has been deactivated ). I have verified with them that I am the account owner and have shared the correct email address multiple times, but despite having called American Express every 10 days for over 2 months ( spending over 7 total hours on the phone ), the issue is still not resolved and I still can not access my account. I am unable to see my statements, current charges, manage my payments, activate offers, or interact with my account in any way. There could be fraudulent charges, and I don't have any way of seeing them. My account is on auto pay, and I'm unable to see what I'm paying for. They don't have any physical locations, so this online account is the only way I'm able to access any information related to my services. The last time I spoke to someone was on XX/XX/2022 and they said the issue would be resolved in the next few days. It is now XX/XX/XXXX and I still can't access my account. I have a ticket open with their digital team and they've confirmed it's a bug ( aka it is not my fault ) - a ticket is open with the ticket ID XXXX. I pay an annual fee of {$250.00} for this credit card. Can someone please help?
