Consumer complaint received 2025-06-27 00:00:00
Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Trouble using your card — Credit card company won't increase or decrease your credit limit
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Complaint Against CitiBank Credit Limit Reduction After Over {$4000.00} in Payments In XX/XX/year>, I made nine separate payments totaling {$4000.00} to my Citi XXXX XXXX credit card. These were not minimum payments. These were not symbolic payments. These were deliberate, strategic, and made in good faith to pay down my balance and improve my financial health. 

Date Amount XX/XX/scrub>XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX In return, Citi reduced my credit limit without any warning, immediately after I made these large payments. This limit reduction completely undermined the progress I made, increased my credit utilization, and potentially damaged my credit score. 

Had I known Citi would penalize me for paying down my card, I would not have made those payments. I would have preserved that money for rent, food, medical bills, or actual emergencies. Instead, I am now out over {$4000.00}, and I am worse off than before I paid. 

Lets be clear : Citis actions were deceptive, financially harmful, and morally bankrupt. 

I received no notification or explanation prior to the credit limit reduction. 

I was not given a chance to adjust my finances accordingly. 

This was not a consequence of missed payments, poor credit, or irresponsible behavior. 

This was a direct consequence of doing exactly what every financial institution says you're supposed to do : Pay down debt, reduce balances, and act responsibly. 

Instead of being met with grace or support, I was met with punishment and financial sabotage. 

If this is how Citi treats customers who are trying to get ahead, then it is clear they profit more from people staying in debt than from people working to escape it. 

That is predatory by design.

Complaint narrative:
I disputed a debt reported by LVNV Funding LLC through their servicer Resurgent Capital Services. I requested full validation under Regulation F and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), including itemized billing, original contract, and proof of legal authority to collect. Their response did not include any required documentation and failed to validate the debt. Despite this, the collection remains on my credit report, negatively impacting me. I am requesting the CFPB to investigate and require deletion of the account unless properly validated.

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 for each fraudulent account 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.

Product: Mortgage — FHA mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process — Escrow, taxes, or insurance
Company: Shellpoint Partners, LLC
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
I was previously a customer of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX for over a decade. In XX/XX/year>, my mortgage was transferred to Shellpoint Mortgage Servicing. For the first five months, there were no issues reported with my account. However, after that period, Shellpoint notified me of an alleged escrow shortage of {$3800.00} and increased my monthly mortgage payment from {$690.00} to $ XXXX significant and unexpected jump. To understand the cause of this increase, I contacted my local tax authority and my homeowners insurance provider, XXXX XXXX. Both provided official documentation showing that my property taxes and insurance premiums have decreased, not increased. Based on this, the claim of an escrow shortage appears unjustified. During my nearly two-decade relationship with XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX was never informed of any escrow shortage. My mortgage payment increased only slightly over the yearsby no more than $ XXXX in the past I have filed several formal complaints with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) regarding unexplained charges and fees, which XXXX  XXXX XXXX failed to adequately explain. 
This raises serious concerns about Shellpoint 's acquisition process. Why would Shellpoint acquire a loan with a supposed unresolved escrow shortage? Any such issues should have been disclosed and resolved prior to the transfer of servicing. As a borrower, I should not be penalized for a shortage that was neither communicated nor substantiated by the prior servicer. 

Therefore, I am formally requesting : A detailed breakdown and explanation of how the escrow shortage was calculated. 

An audit of my escrow account from the date Shellpoint took over servicing. 

A reconsideration of the increased payment, given the evidence that both taxes and insurance have decreased.

Immediate correction of the escrow balance and restoration of my original mortgage payment amount, if warranted.

Please provide this information in writing. I reserve the right to file an updated complaint with the CFPB and any other relevant regulatory bodies if this issue is not resolved promptly and fairly.
