Consumer complaint received 2025-03-05 00:00:00
Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
I closed my Citi double cash card beginning of XXXX and did this over the phone and requested if there was a balance and they said no. I cut the card up which I had for years and never have been a payment late with any of my accounts I had until I went to check on my XXXX score and found that it reported that I was reported as 30days late. I immediately called Citibank which at that time I did not understand what the girl was saying so I filed a dispute with XXXX and also requested to speak to someone about the dispute at Citibank. I was asked numerous times for my FULL s.s. number and I would not give them my full number. They asked my address I gave them my previous address and my new address ( sold my home XX/XX/XXXX and bought new home same day ). I also gave them my security word for my act and my phone number which I have had for at least XXXX yrs and my old number but they could not or did not want to verify my acct number.. I was put on hold for 45 mins then disconnected. I filed a dispute with XXXX and need received a phone call or anything except today I received a email saying it was remaining on my report. This is not right. I also contacted Citibank again today about issue and they still would not connect me to fraud dept. They gave me a number and that number is not Citibank. XXXX has same number listed too. I have always has a XXXX and up score. So today I paid the balance that was as they said XXXX in XXXX to XXXX as of today cause they have done enough damage to my credit report. I don't think its fair that I asked them if I had any pending charges or balance at time of closing and then not to be contacted by phone or mail since XXXX when the unrecognized charges were made if I was contacted I would have paid them on time had I was told what the charges were but I have not been told from Citi bank nor XXXX. This to me is un professional. No response from Citibank even requesting thru the mail since filing dispute but in the meantime I am marked as 30days late for 2 months and have been charged late fees and interest even since dispute. Please help me with this. I have even been rude with them. Thank you XXXX

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX XXXX  I initiated a {$2500.00} balance transfer from my Citi bank credit card ending in XXXX to my XXXX XXXX. This transfer never arrived. That week an many times since I have chatted, called and written Citi about this. Asking where the money went. In a letter from citi dated XX/XX/XXXX they stated I should contact XXXX XXXX On XX/XX/XXXX Citi sent a letter that they had sent proof of payment. I've never received that. XXXX told me they couldn't do anything with the information provided and that I should contact Citi. I contacted citi again, and again and again but Citi keeps saying I contact XXXX. Now Citi is charging me interest over the balance transfer. And I don't know what to do anymore, I feel powerless when being mistreated by these big banks. 

I've sent a letter on the XXXX of XX/XX/XXXX, no resolution. Called a thousand times since XXXX.

Complaint narrative:
Accounts on my consumer report have been linked to identity theft, and I never provided written authorization, including a wet signature, for their inclusion. I recently communicated with your organization about this matter, and I am formally requesting the prompt blocking and removal of these accounts from my report. Their presence has caused significant emotional and financial distress, as they inaccurately represent my credit history and responsibilities. If this issue is not appropriately addressed, I am prepared to take legal action to protect my rights and seek resolution. These fraudulent items on my credit record have hindered my ability to achieve important financial goals, such as purchasing a home and meeting the needs of my family.

Complaint narrative:
I am reaching out to follow up on my previous request for an investigation into the inaccuracies on my credit report, initially submitted in XX/XX/XXXX. As of now, I have not received a response from your office, and the incorrect information still remains, harming my credit. This lack of action is both concerning and unacceptable. 

For your reference, I request the immediate deletion or removal of the account. 

- XXXX XXXX  XXXX Balance : {$14000.00} Date Opened : XX/XX/XXXX I kindly request that this matter will be promptly solve by EQUIFAX As per the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit bureaus are required to investigate disputes within 30 days of receiving a formal request. More than 30 days have passed, and I have yet to receive any resolution, confirmation of investigation, or update on this matter. The continued presence of this inaccurate information has severely impacted my creditworthiness and has caused denial of credit, increased interest rates, or emotional distress. This delay undermines the confidence I should have in the integrity and efficiency of the processes.

Complaint narrative:
I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the Equifax, Experian, and Transunion data breach.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint against Equifax, a consumer reporting agency, for their failure to comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and rectify a violation regarding the reinsertion of previously deleted material into my credit report. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent a letter to Equifax notifying them of the reinsertion of Bankruptcy : Dismissed XXXX, Date Filed/Reported : XX/XX/XXXX, Reference # : XXXX, Court : US DISTRICT into my credit report without proper certification of accuracy and notification to me, as mandated by FCRA Section 611 ( B ). Despite waiting 35 days after sending the letter, Equifax has failed to remove the reinserted account from my credit report, continuing to violate FCRA regulations. 

Equifax 's actions have caused significant inconvenience and potential harm to my credit profile, impacting my ability to access fair credit terms and financial opportunities. Despite my efforts to resolve this matter directly with Equifax, they have neglected to take appropriate action, demonstrating a lack of accountability and compliance with federal consumer protection laws.
