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 TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Complaint narrative:
This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you -- credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within XXXX business days of you receiving this complaint. I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional XXXX  days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA. 

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I have a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX by Citi. On XX/XX/2025, I paid my full balance through Citis own app using my linked Citi XXXX XXXX  account. My bank shows the funds cleared on XX/XX/XXXX. My Citi account now displays {$0.00} balance and no payment due, yet it also shows {$0.00} available credit even though my full credit line remains listed. 

This means Citi has received my payment and acknowledged that I owe nothing, but is still withholding access to my credit line. By doing this, Citi effectively restricts me from using my card even though my account is fully paid. This practice causes direct harm to the consumer and appears inconsistent with Regulation Z ( 12 CFR 1026.10 ), which requires card issuers to credit payments without delay, and California Civil Code 1747.03, which requires payments that immediately reduce liability to be promptly credited.

Citis system or policy of blocking available credit after payment is received and posted is unfair, unreasonable, and misleading to customers who rely on the ability to use their credit line once the account shows a XXXX balance. I am requesting immediate restoration of my available credit and review of this policy.
