Complaint narrative:
I want to stress that I did not give written permission for these specific transactions to be included in my consumer report. At no point did I authorize these entries, and their presence on my report is unwarranted. Consequently, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report immediately. 

It is important to clarify that this request is not due to any error or negligence on my part. There has been no oversight or misunderstanding on my end. Instead, this issue arises solely from the fact that I did not explicitly authorize the inclusion of these transactions in my report. I am diligent about maintaining the accuracy and privacy of my financial records, and these unauthorized entries compromise that integrity. 

I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves. Please confirm the removal of these transactions from my report as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this issue.

Product: Credit card — Store credit card
Issue: Fees or interest — Unexpected increase in interest rate
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
I filed complaint XXXX demanding to know why Citi raised the rate on my Home Depot Credit Card without cause.

Their response did not address my complaint at all, and instead was standard PR verbiage and a lawyer 's dodge to the actual problem. Their proposed " solution '' of rejecting the changes, per their letter on the change in terms, would've resulted in my account being closed. That is not a realistic solution, unless Citi wants to waive any outstanding balance on the card.

They changed my APR to the penalty APR, despite the fact that I have never been late, never missed a payment, and never paid interest because I always pay my balance in full or in compliance with the promo terms. The only reason supplied in the letter was using the " catch all '' clause to make any changes they want with 45 days notice, as required by the CARD Act of 2009. When I called demanding to know why my rate was being changed to the penalty APR, their customer service agent said it was a business decision affecting all card holders. 

When I received a letter in the mail with a promotional offer, and that promotional offer advertised a variable rate that my card used to have, it became very clear that the change did not affect all card holders, just me. 

As a XXXX XXXX  with a XXXX and a credit score over XXXX, again, I demand to know why my interest rate was changed. What is the business reason that you changed my interest rate, but not everyone else 's? From my stand point, it looks like you singled me out because I have done nothing in the card terms to warrant the penalty APR, and further you used a very generic clause with no reason provided to change my rate, which is discrimination on the basis of XXXX and XXXX XXXX. 

If you didn't single me out, then why are you advertising a rate structure that isn't offered? Does the Home Depot Card still offer a variable rate or not? If it does, then why did you change my card terms? If you don't discriminate, then what is the business reason that you change my interest rate and not everyone else 's? If it doesn't offer a variable rate, then why are you still advertising the card with a risk based lending rate structure?

Complaint narrative:
My account with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX, XXXX  XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment.

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law! 15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open-end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint regarding Equifax 's inaccurate reporting.The reporting account details differ significantly between both Equifax and XXXX, XXXX variations in account type, payment status, and inconsistent dates. The reported date of last payment also varies between agencies. The date of last payment reads XX/XX/year> but the payment history reads " OK '' on dates after. Equifax reports the account status as " XXXX '' consistently, which contradicts XXXX 's derogatory status. 
The account is reported as " Collection/Chargeoff, '' suggesting different stages of delinquency or debt resolution that do not align with the true status of the account. 

Despite attempts, Equifax has failed to correct this error, which is negatively impacting my credit report and financial standing.This incomplete and misinformation has significant implications for my credit report and financial standing. I request your assistance in resolving this matter promptly.
