Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I noticed a return check fee on XX/XX/year> of {$30.00} on my credit card account. This doesn't make sense because I pay all my credit card statements on time. I also have an Overdraft Protection enabled on my account. With the overdraft protection, I should not have any payments returned. 

Citi did not notify me of this fee or any problems with my payments. 

Given that I have autopay enabled for this account and Overdraft Protection on my checking account, I have determined I should not be responsible for this {$30.00} return check fee.

Despite multiple written requests for validation of the alleged debt, as required by the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), 15 U.S.C. 1692g, the agency has failed to provide any documentation proving the legitimacy or ownership of the debt.

Furthermore, LVNV FUNDING continues to report this unvalidated debt inaccurately on my credit report. This ongoing reporting constitutes a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2, which mandates that information furnished to credit reporting agencies be accurate and substantiated. By reporting a debt that they have failed to validate, LVNV FUNDING is not complying with these legal obligations.
