Complaint narrative:
In XXXX, my Sears Citibank Sears Mastercard had several fraudulent charges posted. I was alerted to such charges by Citibank and I contacted them immediately. It took over a week for the charges to finally get taken off. I believe the charges totaled less than {$1000.00}. I thought the issue was resolved and I also requested that the account be closed permanently because this was like the XXXX or XXXX time in about a year that this fraudulent situation had occurred. And, this was not an easy decision because I held that account for well over 25 years. Then in the last week of XXXX, XXXX I had received a letter from Citibank Retail Services ( dated XX/XX/XXXX ) indicating that they were pushing XXXX of the charges back onto my account because they did not have enough support to resolved the dispute. So, now I sit with an approximate balance of about {$260.00} that they expect me to pay. I called them on XX/XX/XXXX and I was told that I had to write them a letter explaining ( again ) why these charges were not legitimate and mail it to them. I find this whole thing so concerning and absurd. At this point, I may have to make make a payment on the account to ensure they do not report me to credit agencies ( and I have excellent credit - so that can not happen ). I am asking for immediate resolution and response from Citibank Sears Mastercard. In the meantime, I will keep trying to reach someone within the US ( Citibank seems to send all their customer call offshore from the US ).

Complaint narrative:
My account with those creditors 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 reported in those account to be removed.

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.

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

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

Complaint narrative:
" Method of Verification Dispute Notice : Remove these Fraudulent Accounts, Inquiries & Inaccurate Personal Information. 

The banking system is contingent upon equitable and accurate credit reporting, as stated in the equitable Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ). The banking system 's efficacy is directly impacted by inaccurate credit reports, and the public 's confidence is undermined by unfair credit reporting methods, which are essential for the system 's continued operation. 

Therefore, the efficiency of the finance system is compromised whenever the FCRA is violated. This is a violation of my privacy with respect to my consumer report, as I have the authority to determine which items are included and which are not. Identity theft is the act of reporting any accounts without my written consent. 
This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This results in civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n. The law permits a {$1000.00} fine per violation for each account listed without my expressed written assent.

I reviewed my consumer reports and observed accounts that I had never granted anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have taken on a critical role and are obligated to report consumer information with the utmost accuracy, as the Fair Credit Reporting Act explicitly stipulates. I did not provide written consent to report them. I am expressing my dissatisfaction with the contents of the attached file.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally request the immediate removal of an erroneous account reported by Fair Collections & Outsourcing , Inc. ( FCO ) on my credit report. Despite my repeated attempts to resolve this matter, XXXX has provided a response indicating that they have no involvement with the account in question, which was allegedly placed by XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

The details are as follows : Creditor : XXXX XXXX XXXX Debt Collection Agency : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ) Account Number : [ XXXX ] Date of Dispute : [ XX/XX/year> ] In my complaint to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), I highlighted that XXXX unlawfully obtained and utilized my personal and non-public information without permissible purpose or my explicit consent. Additionally, XXXX has failed to provide a debt validation letter and has continued to report negative information to XXXX and Transunion. 

FCOs response to the CFPB stated : " The account was placed with our office by creditor XXXX XXXX XXXX. Creditor retains ownership of the account. Our office denies the alleged violations set forth in the consumers complaint. Our office will not call the consumer or write the consumer. '' Given that XXXX asserts they have nothing to do with the account, their continued reporting of this erroneous account on my credit report is unjustified and in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). This erroneous information has caused significant harm to my credit score, resulting in financial losses exceeding {$10000.00} due to retraction of credit by creditors and repeated denials of credit opportunities.
