Consumer complaint received 2024-09-18 00:00:00
Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Fees or interest — Problem with fees
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
After Citibank closed my account, without any notice, or intimation to me about the closure, I had requested for late fees, interest charge and return check fee to be waived in view of the unexpected and unexplained termination of my account. Citibank straight away denied to provide any waiver on any of the fee, despite their standard practice of providing waivers for all these fees to their customers in these kinds of special circumstances. I had previously reported that my account closure was a result of discriminatory practice at Citibank, which they have explicitly denied. However their outright refusal to waive standard fees in my case, contrary to their usual practice, seems more evidently to be discriminatory towards me as an immigrant and a person of colour. It is my respectful request that CFPB please looks into it and I can provide details of the charges I am requesting Citibank to waive off my account so I can pay my account in full.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXX and all payments were placed on XXXX. 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 reported to be removed/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. 

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 XXXX and It was never provided. 

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

Complaint narrative:
Navient Denied my Misconduct Application ( attached ) but did not tell me why it was denied after I called in. They only provided in email the original application information. This misconduct needs to be discharged as the school did everything wrong. I attended The Illinois XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/year> and graduated with a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/year>. The school made pervasive and substantial misrepresentations about post-graduation employment rates, salaries, and career services during enrollment. During the enrollment process the recruiter spoke over the phone with my mother and me telling us about guaranteed job placement within 6 months of graduating and no other school can guarantee these rates. They falsified their data to reflect what they were telling freshmen. I did not receive the promised career services, job placement, or any career help after graduation which hindered the ability to obtain employment. The Illinois XXXX XXXX XXXX closed their doors after numerous lawsuits were founded to be true from the misconduct performed. I filed a misconduct application on my Federal Loans and those were forgiven due the findings being true. In addition, the school lied about interest rates and overall cost of the program. Numerous times during my 4 year degree they stated that i needed to take out loans to stay in the program and graduate but the interest rates were never given. I was only told variable would be provided.
