Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: UT

Complaint narrative:
First, congratulations with having the Supreme Court having validated the funding mechanism for your bureau! 
I have a credit card issued by Citi which I have always been very happy with, and will continue to use even if the final decision is in favor with Citi. 
My specific issue is that Citi is requiring holders of their cards to go paperless if they wish to also maintain online access to their account. 
One of the things that Citi cards does right is that they post the amount of any purchase immediately, which means I can check my online account every day to check for unauthorized purchases and to enter transactions into my financial software. Most other card issuers do not post transactions until the transation is final, which can be days or even weeks longer. 
I was receiving social security XXXX until I was eligible for regular social security, so I guess technically I am no longer XXXX. However, I do have XXXX  and XXXX  XXXX, which makes telephonic inquiries virtually impossible. Also, because of age ( almost XXXX ) I am not so comfortable with computers as to make downloading & printing possible. 
In summary, I am XXXX, XXXX with XXXX  & XXXX  XXXX, and not very comfortable with computers. 
However, I do know how to get into my Citi account online, and to be honest, it gives me ( and Citi ) an extra 30 days to check for unauthorized or fraudulent account activity, so both sides do receive something from this arrangement.

Complaint narrative:
I am stressed and displeased that I see so many fraudulent accounts on my credit report. This is really damaging my credit worthiness. I am trying to buy a home for me and my family and this is not fair. I have tried several times to get these accounts removed. Let alone, my information was in an XXXX & XXXX breach some months ago so I thought you all would protect my consumer report. I do not feel that my information is being protected. This is a defamation to my character, and this is a federal law violation. According to, 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( 2 ) ( 3 ) ( 4 ) my consumer report fairness and privacy has been violated. I am upset!! I am depending on the banking system and credit reporting agency to promote my privacy and fairness and they have not. This is not right and going against my federal consumer rights. This is causing emotional and mental stress as of now. Also, it is illegal these companies should NOT be furnisher people 's information to 3rd party companies, so this is illegal, neglect and fraud. I have already reported this to the local police department and Federal Trade Commission. These companies and the credit bureaus can get sued for these damages. This is negatively affecting my livelihood and putting me in a bad space. I feel your database is inaccurate and I am filing ligation against this if these items aren't removed immediately.

State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I have been banking with bank of america since 2015. 
On XX/XX/XXXX I received a call from someone impersonating as bank of america, I googled the phone number and it showed as a bofa number. 
This person had my full name, phone number, account number, email address and current address and said my account was in danger as someone had tried to open an account in my name, so in order to protect it, I had to send : - {$1300.00} through XXXX XXXX using my bofa debit card ( currently under investigation with bofa ) - {$790.00} and {$1400.00} through XXXX  to : XXXX XXXX ( phone number XXXX ( total of {$2200.00} ) I was scammed for a total of {$3900.00} and Bank of America will not hold responsability, although their name and phone number was being impersonated by these scammers. 

My account was entirely wiped out, I had {$4.00} balance and had to pay my mortgage and utility bills, I had to borrow money to pay my own bills and so far I've only received {$3.00} reimbursement from the fraud XXXX transaction through Bank of America. All they had to say is " We are sorry, we can't do anything about it ''. 
I no longer feel safe banking with bofa as they are not doing anything to protect us customers.

Company: Paypal Holdings, Inc
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/23 I noticed a large sum of money being withdrawn from my bank account to my PayPal account ( I never find this, I just make small purchases from sellers that debits my bank ). I decided to look back and going as far back as XX/XX/23 there were multiple smaller withdraws with a grand total of {$6600.00}. I contacted PayPal the same day I was made aware for dispute as well as my bank. I canceled my debit card and my bank did determine there was fraud but PayPal argued against that claim and the money reversed by my bank to me, PayPal is holding me liable and my account is in the negative ( - {$3300.00} ). The primary email was changed on my account so I was not receiving notifications of account activity, and XXXX new funding sources were added without my knowledge or approval and do not belong to me. 

I requested from PayPals claim dispute dept on XX/XX/23 and again XX/XX/23 for the results of their investigation where they found that I had authorized any transactions and have yet to receive a response. Customer service says that there was not an email added however I have screenshot proof of another agent acknowledging there was, and that it did not belong to me. PayPal is refusing to acknowledge any dispute because it is outside of a 90 day window and they determined there was nothing looking suspicious in my activity. I told them That I reported the activity the same day I found out ( see Regulation E, Electronic Funds Transfer Act Sec. 1005.6 ) but was told everything was authorized because it is my account. I was also notified that I was affected in PayPals recent data breach where this was likely the root of the problem and ultimately responsible. 

I sent a demand letter as well on XX/XX/23 to settle this but they refused to acknowledge this.
