Complaint narrative:
I want to be absolutely clear : I did not authorize these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report, neither in writing nor verbally. Therefore, I formally request that these inquiries be blocked and removed from my record. I want to stress that this request is not a mistake, nor is it based on any misrepresentation of facts. It's crucial to highlight that these transactions were included without my explicit consent or instruction.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint against CitiBank XXXX concerning my secured credit card account. I have been a customer for nearly XXXX years and opted to close my account using the secured collateral to settle any remaining balance. At the time of closure, I was informed that there were no outstanding balances on my account. 

Despite these assurances and being a paperless customer who routinely checked my account online, several months later, I was surprised to find a balance of over {$110.00} on my account. This balance was not only unexpected but also included negative remarks on my credit report. Upon contacting CitiBank via phonethe only customer service method available to meI was unable to obtain a clear explanation or itemization of these charges. The customer service representatives stated that they could only send a statement via mail, which I was told could further negatively impact my credit report due to the time required to mail. 

I have since paid the full amount, despite not understanding what the charges entailed, under confirmation number XXXX, in an effort to mitigate further damage to my credit score. However, I am concerned that my account may not be settled in full and am troubled by the lack of transparency and accessibility in resolving this matter.

At the time of the purchase the sales associate who was also a store manager, asked me if I was interested in a " Rewards card '' She explained that each time I made purchases the card would accumulate points that could be used for future purchases. She never represented this card as a credit card. I completed my purchase for {$20.00} using my debit card. I then started to receive a bill from Children 's Place saying I have a credit card bill. When I disputed the charges with the creditor, they eliminated some fees and charges, but still saying I owe them {$140.00} from a {$20.00} purchase from a card that was sold to me deceptively. I feel I should only be responsible for my original purchase.
