Consumer complaint received 2023-06-14 00:00:00
Product: Credit card or prepaid card — Store credit card
Issue: Fees or interest — Unexpected increase in interest rate
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
Although the Federal government raised interest rates recently ; CitiBank has, this month, raised my interest rate 1.5 % to 31.74 %. I originally received the card from DSNB who sold to CitiBank. My interest rate has nearly gone up a point every month since last XX/XX/XXXX. I have never missed a payment on the account since I received the account in XXXX ; I always pay the minimum plus several hundred dollars more. There is no rhyme or reason for the continued increase especially since there have been no interest rate increase in the last XXXX months. 

In the past when i have complained to Treasury Department ( before your agency was incepted ) ; CitiBank has retaliated against me by putting negative, erroneous information about me in the credit bureau. However, Treasury sent them several letters in both XXXX and XXXX that an investigation had been launched ; I never received an outcome but the information was laboredly corrected. 

No matter what I do to pay off these people they continue to hamper my being rid of them by raising interest rates for no apparent reason ( my credit score is XXXX ). To keep me paying them off ; they keep raising my interest rate. I pay the minimum plus {$200.00} every month how can my balance keep increasing when I am not using the card or patronizing Macys at all. 

When I called today and spoke to someone named XXXX, i was told that everyones interest rate increase by at lease 1.5 % and they do not negotiate a lower rate for anyone. 

How can they get away with this to try to keep Macys alive when people simply are not interested in continuing to get into this kind of overbearing debt?!! 

Thank you.

I demand to see verifiable proof ( i.e. : an original consumer contract with my signature on it ) that you have on file for the account listed below. 

Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit. Under the FCRA, unverifiable accounts must be removed and if you are unable to provide me a copy of verifiable proof, you must remove the account listed below.

Complaint narrative:
My last payment made to my credit card account at XXXX XXXX XXXX  was XXXX XXXX, XXXX. They closed my account between the dates of XXXX XXXX, XXXX and XXXX XXXX, XXXX. The balance on the account at the time was {$400.00}. I have documentation proof of that was well which I will upload. On my credit report, they only report the account as being closed in the comments but are still showing the account as being open in the pay charts. I never made any payments after XXXX XXXX, XXXX, but yet they are reporting I made payments in XXXX and XXXX in order to continue increasing my balance to obtain more money from me. Now they are reporting my balance to be {$630.00}. How can a closed account continue to gain interest or whatever when the account is closed. Every other account I have that closed, is the balance never increased. If I was late they reported it and I get and understand that but increasing a balance is wrong when the account is closed. Ive disputed this information with the company back in XXXX to fix the issue and was told they would but nothing was done about it. I even disputed the information with the credit bureaus along with the documentation I have and they continue to report the information as being accurate and it clearly is not.

Complaint narrative:
Company : Kia Finance ( KF ) I was leasing Kia K5, which got into an accident. 
In XXXX, XXXXnsurance decided to total car and asked if they want the check to sent to me or to KF directly.

I contacted KF customer care and got a buyout quote for : {$24000.00} KF said if the insurance pays them directly then the amount would be {$28000.00} and told me that I'll be returned the overpaid difference amount ( {$28000.00} - {$24000.00} ) After confirming this, I asked the insurance to pay KF directly. 

I contacted KF again during XXXX week of XXXX, I was told they received the payment from insurance on XX/XX/XXXX and they confirmed they will process the refund check soon. 

I contacted Kia again on XX/XX/XXXX to check the status of the refund. I was told that they have to wait 30 days before they can process the refund. So the check would be sent out after XX/XX/XXXX. They even told me the amount that would be refunded which is {$4300.00} After waiting for a week after XX/XX/XXXX I called KF on XX/XX/XXXX to check the status of the refund they said nothing will be refunded as per the contract. 
So after confirming of a refund for 3 times, they told me in the end that I wont get anything. 

I had made payments of close to 20 months on this vehicle. 
If they had told me before that I wont get any refund from the insurance payoff then I could have asked the insurance to pay me directly and buyout the vehicle for {$24000.00}. 
and use the extra cash to cover the payments done or use it towards buying another vehicle. 

I lost out close to {$4300.00} because of the misinformation provided by KF. This seems like planned way to cheat the customer and get more money from Insurance. 

I would like to seek some help regarding this and recover the amount from KF.

Please let me know if you need more information. 
I'm sure all the customer care call were recorded and the information can be verified if we get those recordings Thanks
