Complaint narrative:
A while ago I noticed that there were so many things on my credit that I can not even begin to guess where these fraudulent accounts came from. So, I requested validation ( in the form of the original contracts ) from the bureau so that I could actually get to the bottom of who was using my identity and to also get this information removed. I sent in a letter and a FTC report just like the bureau requested 2 months ago and I still havent received any original contracts, or the method of verification, who they spoke with at these companies and the information is still on my report. I have made multiple attempts and theyve continued to ignore my requests, this is affecting my livelihood and is a defamation of my character. ( Complaint ID : XXXX )

Complaint narrative:
I accepted an offer I received in the mail for a " flex loan ''. I was consolidating bills and paying for repairs to my business. I received a 14.99 % interest offer. 
My payments are {$540.00} per month. I have made XXXX payments so far and only {$4500.00} was applied to principal and {$4200.00} to interest. I don't understand how they are allowed to do this. That is nearly 50 % of my payment going to interest. 
When I checked into this there are no more Citibank branches available. Everything is online only. Are they going out of business? 
I would appreciate any information and help you can give me. 

Thank you so much, XXXX XXXX XXXX
