Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL

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.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally express my dissatisfaction with Citi Bank 's handling of multiple disputes I initiated against XXXX for charges amounting to {$75.00} each. Despite providing all necessary documentation, including the letter I received from XXXX, which I also submitted to the XXXX XXXX XXXX and proof of refunds on my XXXX account, my Citi Bank account continues to reflect an outstanding balance. 

The specific details of my situation are as follows : First Charge ( {$75.00} ) : Date of Payment : XX/XX/year> Card Ending : XXXX Dispute Initiated : XX/XX/year> Dispute Closed in My Favor : XX/XX/year> According to XXXX letter, Citi Bank was responsible for crediting the funds back to my account once the dispute was resolved in my favor. However, my Citi Bank account still shows this amount as due. 
Second Charge ( {$75.00} ) : Date of Payment : XX/XX/year> Card Ending : XXXX Dispute Initiated : XX/XX/year> Dispute Closed in My Favor : XX/XX/year> XXXX confirms that the funds were pulled by Citi Bank for investigation, and the dispute was again resolved in my favor. Yet, my Citi Bank account does not reflect this refund either. 
Third Charge ( {$75.00} ) : Date of Payment : XX/XX/year> Card Ending : XXXX XXXX has successfully refunded this charge and stated that it may take 5-7 business days for the funds to appear. However, this refund is not reflected in my account, nor have the previous disputes been properly resolved. 
As it stands, I should have a XXXX balance on my account, and all disputes should be closed. The failure of Citi Bank to properly credit the refunds after multiple disputes were settled in my favor is causing undue stress and inconvenience. I request an immediate review and resolution of these issues, with all applicable funds credited to my account without further delay. 

Please confirm receipt of this complaint and provide a timeline for resolution. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
