Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Old information reappears or never goes away
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
I've had a few problems with medical collections accounts ( XXXX XXXX ) being the main culprit, where I'd try to dispute the information and they would just remove it. Wait a few months and then reinsert it into my report. This is constantly dropping my score, as they insert it as a new account rather than what the original dates were. 

Account : XXXX XXXX Date Opened : XX/XX/XXXX Amount : {$710.00} Original Creditor : XXXX XXXX XXXX That is just the main collection that keep popping up. That is the hospital in Florida. I hadn't been seen there since XXXX, I moved out of Florida in XX/XX/XXXX. This is one of the few accounts that keeps popping up every few months, while I'm trying to rebuild by score and every 3- months it gets dropped 50-80 points because of this. I've tried asking for proof of the debt, and haven't received anything. I get no letters that a debt has even been placed for collections/reinserted into my report. 

Is there anything that can be done? I know collections agencies sometimes sell the debts, but I've noticed it's always been the same collection agency name, reporting it, just changing the " open date '' on the account. This has been a struggle for the past 3 years, and I've tried disputing it every chance I get.

Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I joined an XXXX  business on XX/XX/2017, I have put on this card many charges from " XXXX '' from the initial sign up to many coaching programs. and other fees involved. On XX/XX/2017 I used my BARCLAYS card to purchase a XXXX program. The purchase was split between BARCLAYS card and another CC. The total was for {$25000.00}. I put down on this card $ {$10000.00} and {$3700.00} on XX/XX/2017. When I signed up for this program I was informed that I should be in contact with someone within 2 weeks to start my XXXX. I sent numerous support tickets and 3 phone calls and a few e-mails before I was finally contacted in XX/XX/XXXX and was suppose to start as soon as I got a XXXX. I only got in touch with my XXXX  finally in XX/XX/XXXX. We had ONE XXXX call to finally connect and the call was DISCONNECTED and the XXXX  never called me back. I tried several times to contact him, and others that that were involved in this process. I have attached all the information I sent to Barclays when I filed my dispute with them. I sent several e-mails to people in the company to find out what was going on and if I could not get this service I would like to cancel and get my money back. I never received and return call or e-mail from anyone all the way till XX/XX/2017. Other charges were for upgrading the level of the business, and monthly fees for other trainings that were offered with monthly subscriptions that were mailed home with cd trainings on how to improve your business. Well on XX/XX/2017 this company was shut down by the FTC. So now there is no way for me to ever get these services since the company was shut down for FRAUD. All the training sites were shut down we have no access to them any longer. I contacted Barclays and filed a disbute and they told me the charges would not be able to refund and the ones the they did were only a certain percentage.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Between the months of XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/2018, I was assessed a {$1.00} fee for " Minimum Interest Charge '' when there was no balance shown on my credit card that was subject to an Interest Rate. Every monthly statement indicated there was " Balance Subject to Interest Rate {$0.00} '' I contacted Bank of America on XX/XX/2018 and was informed by two different representative that there WAS a balance on the credit card subject to an interest charge. They confirmed that balance did not show on my monthly statement and I could only obtain that information by contacting them. They refused to issue a refund and indicated these charges were valid. 

I believe this to be a violation of Consumer Protection Laws such as Regulation E, Regulation Z, the Fair Credit Billing Act and the Credit CARD Act of 2009.

Company: Santander Consumer USA Holdings Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I purchased a new XXXX XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX in which XXXX XXXX   financed my car. I have noticed that when I make my monthly payments each month since XX/XX/XXXX to date the amount of my payment being applied to Interest vs. my Principal balance is not consistent. In fact, some months my entire monthly payment in XX/XX/XXXX is going to Interest only and none towards the principle balance. This seems like a deceptive practice and I still owe {$21000.00} on a XX/XX/XXXX car that is falling apart. My principal balance is not coming down due to the unexplained way my monthly payments are being applied ( primarily to interest ). I would like this investigated.

Company: Monterey Financial Services LLC
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I never signed a contract with Monterey Financial. They threaten to file suit against me. The debt is in collections they are adding interest every month to a account thats in collections and reporting it as late on my credit report. I tried contacting to solve debt by paying they wouldnt accept my offer. The manager doesnt know how to properly communicate. Theyre continuously harassing me calling either to early in the XXXX or to late in the afternoon. I would be satisfied if this debt is removed my account especially since theyre reporting false inaccuracies. If a account is added to collections as a debt that is supposed to be closed but still reporting as late and causing the amount to grow for no accurate reason.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Bank : Citibank Customer Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Checking Account Number : XXXX Savings Account Number : XXXX Complaint : Violation of Promotion XXXX Summary : Citibank violated its terms and conditions of Promotion XXXX. Citibank promoted a {$400.00} cash bonus offer for new bank customers who open a checking and savings account with a minimum deposit of {$15000.00} and maintain a minimum balance of {$15000.00} for 60 consecutive calendar days. 

I opened the designated accounts and deposited {$15000.00} funds on XX/XX/2018. I met all the requirements for the {$400.00} cash bonus offer. After about 3 months, Citibank had not deposited the {$400.00} cash bonus to my account. On XX/XX/XXXX, I called Citibank to inquire about the cash bonus and was reassured by bank representative that the bonus would be deposited soon. I asked about closing my savings accounts and was told closing my savings account would not jeopardize the cash bonus offer. I proceeded to close my savings account. 

After waiting longer, I inquired with a Citibank branch about the cash offer. I received a letter date XX/XX/2018 that states I did not qualify for the cash bonus offer because I closed the savings account. 

I feel Citibanks action is deceptive. My accounts and deposit met the conditions of the promotion in the published time frame. I followed the guidance of the Citibank representative to close my savings account. 

Desired Resolution : Citibank honor its promotion and deposit {$400.00} to my account.

Complaint narrative:
I sent a letter dated XX/XX/18 to Barclaycard disputing late payments and the accuracy of those late payments. I was very detailed in my letter which stated the following " I am requesting validation, made pursuant to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and the Fair Credit Reporting Act, along with the corresponding local state laws. Please note that I am requesting validation ; that is competent evidence bearing my signature, showing the account is being reported ''. I received a letter from Barclaycard that was not dated and stated that the requested statement reprints were enclosed. In my letter I never requested statement reprints. After I received the letter from Barclaycard, I pulled my credit report from XXXX  dated XX/XX/18. According to the FRCA section 623 ( a ) ( 3 ), a data furnisher is supposed to contact the credit bureaus on behalf of the customer any time a customer questions a line item that is reported on a credit report, and mark the item as being disputed within 30 days. This account was not marked in dispute. I sent another letter dated XX/XX/18 to Barclaycard detailing that they had not provided proper validation of reporting late payments and requested the late payments be removed. I received a letter from Barclaycard dated XX/XX/18 stating they had completed their investigation and had sent validation on XX/XX/18. I have no letter in my possession from Barclaycard dated XX/XX/18. I pulled my XXXX report again on XX/XX/18 and my account was not marked in dispute. I also sent letters to XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX disputing the late payments of this account and all three credit bureaus reported the late payments were valid, yet my account was not marked in dispute.
