Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I applied, and was approved, for a Citibank , N.A . credit card in XX/XX/2023 for the sole reason of the balance transfer promotion attached to the Citi Simplicity card. The documentation received with the card ( card ending in XXXX ), dated XX/XX/2023, advised my limit was {$3300.00} and the balance transfer option was " 0 % introductory APR for 21 months from the date of first transfer when transfers are completed by XX/XX/2023. '' On XX/XX/2023, I accessed my online account to submit the balance transfer request and the balance transfer promotion was no longer showing. I spent an hour on the phone on this date & the representative located the offer and advised the offer would reflect online by XX/XX/2023. I accessed my online account on XX/XX/2023 and noticed the offer was not there. I began an online chat with a representative who advised she could not locate the offer and advised I apply for a card that has that offer. I feel I was a victim of " click bait ''. Citi responded on XX/XX/2023 advising they will honor the offer. I have since made 3 phone calls, XX/XX/2023 # XXXX, XX/XX/2023 XXXX and XX/XX/2023 leaving a message for a return call as I was advised on XX/XX/2023 that I would receive a call from XXXX within 48hrs to process the bonus offer. They advised on XX/XX/2023 that the cases on XX/XX/2023 and XX/XX/2023 were closed and needed to be reopened. They have yet to process the bonus transfer offer that expires XX/XX/2023. I believe they are delaying this process on purpose.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I am the victim of identity theft. The fraudster has identifying information that allows her access to my credit reports with all three credit agencies. I have repeatedly attempted to put credit freezes with all three credit agencies, but the fraudster is able to lift the credit freezes. All three credit agencies have incorrect former addresses and phone numbers ; incorrect emails ; incorrect employer ; and XXXX has a security question ( Mother 's city of birth ) established by the fraudster. 

The problem is particularly acute with XXXX. We have attempted to shut down our XXXX account and open a new one with new credentials, but XXXX has not allowed us to do this. It is almost impossible to contact a live representative and they have told us we have to wait but have not informed us of when and if they take action. Meanwhile, the account remains compromised. 

In mid-XXXX we shut down online accounts with XXXX and Transunion and opened new ones. But the fraudster has already somehow changed the username, email and passwords on those accounts. We believe the gateway for doing this is through XXXX. 

Recently the fraudsters have lifted the credit freezes to open credit card accounts with XXXX XXXX and XXXX. Both companies alerted us and those accounts have been closed.

Complaint narrative:
Hi, I purchase a car from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/2020. The car broke down on me several times on expressway and had me stranded alone. The dealership told me that they would fix it but I would have to it towed to them. Once, I had it towed to them they never fixed the car and this car is a part of the lemon law. They increased what I owed and I never agreed to these terms.

Company: SIERRA PACIFIC MORTGAGE
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
The mortgage company is Sierra Pacific. The servicing company is XXXX. 

XX/XX/2023... monthly mortgage payment increase from {$930.00} to {$960.00}. 

XX/XX/2023... I was able to reach customer service at XXXX who blamed the increase on my insurance company. Contacted XXXX XXXX insurance company and together determined the insurance rate increase only accounted for {$43.00} yearly. ( {$3.00} mo ) I then contacted XXXX XXXX rep XXXX XXXX who provided me with escrow analysis. It showed a " shortage adjustment '' of {$660.00}! XXXX put me in touch with another XXXX rep who explained that this charge was due to the escrow being paid in a different month than before. His solution to return my mortgage payment to where it was before was either pay the additional XXXX, or just wait 2 years and it will be paid. Unacceptable. I did my part paying the mortgage on time every month, someone over there made the error. What is to prevent another " shortage adjustment '' later on? 

XX/XX/XXXX ... Contacted XXXX XXXX at Sierra Pacific expressing my dissatisfaction. He emailed back saying that XXXX would have someone else contact me. More waiting. 

XX/XX/XXXX... No contact from XXXX, emailed XXXX XXXX again. 
XX/XX/XXXX ... No XXXX agent has contacted me to date. No follow up from Sierra Pacific.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
According to 15 U.S. Code 1681, Congressional purposes, it is the purpose of this subchapter to require that consumer reporting agencies adopt reasonable procedures for meeting the needs of commerce for consumer credit, personnel, instance, and other information in a manner which is fair and equitable to the consumer, with regard to the confidentiality, accuracy, relevancy, and proper utilization of such information in accordance with the requirements of this subchapter. There exists an obligation for the credit reporting agencies to conduct themselves in a manner that is fair and equitable to me. The continuous reporting of such information deems an improper utilization of my information, which directly conflicts Congressional purposes and reasonable procedures. Prove that I received the delivery of goods ; come to my home and search for the goods they say I received possessions of goods of or come and see my computer or tap into my bank account so you can see what these alleged possessions are as is the requirement under 15. U.S. Code 1681 c-2 ( c ( 1 ) C ). Please prove this! Hearsay is not admissible. This is according to the federal rules of procedure and evidence! 
Therefore, these accounts must be removed. You can not lawfully prove that I received a delivery of good, services and money. These accounts are not related to transactions by me, the consumer, therefore, as a result of this identity theft, these accounts must be removed and blocked.

Company: National Credit Systems,Inc.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
Rented a home from XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX, in XXXX KS. Sent them 30 day notice in XXXX, stating that i was moving out of the property due to mold and other property issues that the management failed to address ( the home had flooded at least 3 times, causing water damage to the carpets, ceilings, etc. ). In XXXX of that same year, XXXX, XXXX, had sent me a letter asking me to either turn in the keys or an eviction would be filed. No eviction had ever been filed as I returned the keys. A move out inspection was performed w/o my being present, despite my asking to be. I did ask for pictures, but no response was ever given. 
A year later, I received a notice on my credit report from a collection agency, not National Credit Systems, that I owed {$5800.00}. When I inquired about it, i was sent an itemized statement, listing damages that were mostly due to flooding that had happened in the home. In addition, they had charged me for rent after I had left, despite having kept my deposit and owing me money for " concessions '' due various issues i had faced while living in the home. When I called XXXX XXXX XXXX, the original creditor, to inquire about these charges, they could not find my file. I then contacted that collection agency and demanded they cease collections as the debt could not be validated. 
Now the debt is being handle by National Credit Systems I have asked them to validate the debt. Instead, they have the debt listed in my credit file as a " medical debt '' when, in fact, it is NOT a medical debt. 
As the original creditor has no record of this debt on file and is unable to verify/validate this debt, National Credit Systems has no legal standing to collect on this debt.
