XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Ga XXXX XXXX XXXX Equifax XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX GA XXXX Re : Dispute of Collections Account # XXXX Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to formally dispute the collections account listed on my credit report under the account number referenced above. ( XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX ) Under 15 U.S. Code 1681i, I have the right to dispute any information on my credit report that I believe to be inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable.

I demand that you conduct a full investigation of this account in compliance with Section 1681i ( a ), which requires that the information be verified, corrected, or deleted if it can not be substantiated. As per Section 1681s-2, it is also the responsibility of the furnisher of information to ensure the accuracy of the data they are providing to the credit bureaus.

Furthermore, under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), a collections account must be fully validated with supporting documentation from the original creditor. If such validation can not be provided, this account must be removed from my credit report immediately. 

I expect this matter to be resolved within 30 days as required by law, and I look forward to your timely response. 

Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Ive always prided myself on being on time with paymentsnever missed one! So, its really frustrating to see a late payment reported for XX/XX/XXXX when that just didnt happen. Ive tried reaching out to the company, but it feels like XXXX talking to a wall. Other bureaus have already recognized the mistake and cleared it up, so Im asking you to do the same. Its just not fair to have this mark on my record, especially when its causing me so much stress. I really hope we can get this resolved quickly. Thanks!

Complaint narrative:
Dear CFPB Representative, I am following up on my complaint ( # XXXX ), in which I reported that Experian has failed to comply with its obligations under 15 U.S. Code 1681c2. This provision of the FCRA mandates the prompt blocking of information resulting from identity theft.

Despite my prior communication and submission of the required identity theft documentation, Experian has yet to block the disputed information from my credit report. This delay has caused continued harm, as the unaddressed inaccuracies impact my financial standing and creditworthiness. 

I respectfully request the CFPB 's assistance in ensuring that Experian fulfills its statutory duty by immediately blocking the fraudulent information as required by law. I look forward to an expedited response and resolution to mitigate further adverse effects on my credit profile. 

Thank you for your attention and support in resolving this matter.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: NV

Complaint narrative:
I signed up for the Best Buy Credit Card on XX/XX/year> to get their promotional 15 % back on my first purchase. That purchase was a washer/dryer set that cost {$1500.00} ( before taxes ). I received only 5 % back in rewards for that purchase. I have called XXXX times over the last 60 days to find out where the rest of my rewards are, each time they say they are 'escalating the situation and someone will contact me or I will have the rewards within XXXX days '. I wait 5 days and call again, rinse and repeat. 

Best Buys website right now has the same promotional advertisement. Usually the 5 % is XXXX points per dollar spent. The promotion promises 15 % which would be XXXX points. This is confirmed in their small print on the offer saying that it would be an additional XXXX points per dollar on the first purchase. XXXX points on {$1500.00} would be XXXX points. Every XXXX points can be converted into a {$5.00} dollar reward certificate. That would be XXXX {$5.00} reward certificates or {$220.00}. I received only {$70.00} from this purchase ( I did receive another XXXX $ from a subsequent purchase at the regular 5 % rate ). I would like the additional promotional rewards credited to my account as advertised. I have tried for 2 months to resolve it with Best Buy, but they have done nothing to help.
