Product: Money transfer, virtual currency, or money service — Money order, traveler's check or cashier's check
Issue: Fraud or scam — 
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Recently, I received a text message inquiring if I had used my card in New York, which I had not, as I reside in California. I promptly contacted Citibank through the number provided on my card to report this incident and was advised to close my account and obtain a new debit card. 


Subsequently, I received an email notification about a {$1000.00} transfer that I did not authorize. Despite my prompt denial, the transaction was processed. Following this, an additional {$1800.00} was wired out without my consent, resulting in a total loss of {$2800.00}. At no point did I authorize these transactions, nor have I provided my information to anyone who might have done so. 

Citibank has, thus far, refused to return my funds. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Request for Reinvestigation and Detailed Description of Verification Methods Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding the handling of my credit report dispute by credit agency. Despite my efforts to resolve inaccuracies on my credit report, I have encountered several issues that I believe warrant further investigation by the CFPB. 
Background : On [ XX/XX/2024 ], I submitted a dispute to regarding inaccurate information on my credit report. The items in question were not properly verified, yet the agency concluded that the information was accurate. I am concerned about the thoroughness and accuracy of their reinvestigation process. 
Details of the Complaint : 1. Inadequate Verification Process : Despite my detailed dispute, the credit reporting agency failed to verify the accuracy of the disputed information adequately. The verification process seems to lack transparency and thoroughness, which raises concerns about its compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ).

2. Lack of Detailed Verification Methods : I requested a detailed description of the verification methods used by the credit reporting agency, including the specific procedures, sources consulted, documentation reviewed, and criteria for validation. However, this information has not been provided, despite multiple requests.

3. Timeline of Investigation : There is a lack of clarity on the timeline of the investigation, including key dates and actions taken during the process. This lack of transparency hinders my ability to understand how the investigation was conducted and whether it adhered to FCRA requirements.

Complaint narrative:
My account with XXXX XXXX TRANSUNION was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with 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.

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment to be updated.

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. 


XXXX XXXX TRANSUNION Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided.

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

Company: National Credit Systems,Inc.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I have never given consent or permission to report or share any information about me. Under the Gramm-Leach-Biley Act ( 15 USC 6801-6802 ), I have not signed any consent form allowing my information to be disclosed to non-affiliated third parties, electronically or in writing. There is no legal proof supporting the accuracy of these marks, and they have not been properly verified.

I am complaining about the impermissible access of my credit report by National Credit Systems, in direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Last month, I have discovered that the National Credit Systems fraudulent account had been opened in my name without my knowledge or consent. I need proof of a wet signature of an application w/ National Credit Systems and proof this is a credit transaction w/ National Credit Systems . National Credit Systems is in violation of federal and state laws, and I will go legal if this isnt removed. National Credit Systems accessed my credit report without my authorization or a permissible purpose as outlined under 15 U.S.C. 1681b, which regulates the legal purposes for which consumer reports can be obtained. I have been in contact with agencies via writing and have evidence on hand, expressing this does not belong to me and I am being ignored.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX i made a payment of {$1700.00} to MOHELA, in the form of an electronic bank check, which represented my final payment/payoff. A copy of that check ( front and back ) is attached for your review. Since then, despite endorsing the check, MOHELA has refused to apply it to my account, and they have refused to refund the money to me. I've sent them a copy of the check on two prior occasions, to no avail, and I've made approximately 15 telephone calls to MOHELA 'S customer service department, also to no avail. Even when I've spoken to supervisors, including in the resolution department, I've gotten placed on hold for very excessive lengths of time. I've been told on at least four occasions that a 5-7 business day review of the account would be done, and recently I was told by two supervisors that the account had to be " rebuilt '' as part of the review process, which would then allow the check to be posted and applied to my account. Still, no resolution has been achieved. MOHELA has stolen my money! I'm simply trying to repay, in good faith, money that I borrowed. This is utterly despicable.
