Complaint narrative:
My name is XXXX XXXX XXXX, a federally protected consumer, and beneficiary. I am making this complaint against CITIBANK N.A. for committing identity theft. I have never given CITIBANK N.A. any permission to use any of my identifying information to commit mail fraud by contacting me about an alleged debt they claim I owe, in interest of the estate titled, XXXX XXXX XXXX. I am aware that in accordance with Article XXXX, the assignment of a defaulted note is illegal. Both the assignee and the assigned are both liable for violations under 15 U.S. Code 1692e ( 12 ).

I have never received any documentation requesting validation from CITIBANK N.A. before they committed multiple violations under the FCRA and the FDCPA by furnishing this alleged debt to my consumer report including but not limited to 15 U.S. Code 1692d ( 4 ) which the FTC defines as debt parking. If CITIBANK N.A. can not provide me with proof, such as a tracking number, that they attempted to lawfully validate this alleged debt with me, the consumer, prior to furnishing it on my consumer report, this has been a fraudulently furnished account with forethought and malice as an attempt to bring harm to me and my financial reputation. 

According to what Ive been told, after the banking crisis banks were required to do certain things, make certain allotments to the public, and to cease and desist doing certain things regarding consumer credit transactions. I know I dont have to run it down to you verbatim what the laws say. You may glean my line of reasoning and assessment from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX United States XXXX XXXX. ( *Hist. ) and other similar authority dealing with corporate demands against individuals rooted in alleged debt arising on promises, pledges, guarantees, and contract/agreements. See Truth in Lending and FDCPA.

I am legally refusing to pay this debt pursuant to 1692c ( c ). I am demanding a cease and desist of all illegal activity, any communication and collection activity, of this and any alleged debts until CITIBANK N.A. can provide me with sufficient documentary evidence that I have any legal obligation to pay them. If this documentary evidence can not be produced and CITIBANK N.A. continues its collection efforts, I will file for litigation for actual damages caused and CITIBANK N.A. will be held criminally liable for aggravated identity theft pursuant to 18 USC 1028A, extortion, theft by deception, securities fraud, and mail fraud. Upon the receipt of the documents herein and of this notice, you are hereby notified Pursuant UCC 1-202f. Your prompt attention and response are both requested and required.
