Complaint narrative:
RE : ACCOUNT # XXXX Subject : Formal Complaint Regarding Violation of Consumer Rights and FERPA Rights Dear XXXX Customer Service, I am writing to formally lodge a complaint against XXXX for the apparent violation of my consumer rights and the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act ( FERPA ). I have discovered that XXXX  has reported my student loan information without obtaining my explicit permission, thereby breaching both legal and ethical boundaries. 

As a consumer, I have the right to privacy and control over my personal and financial information. FERPA, a federal law, further protects my educational records from unauthorized disclosure. Despite these protections, I have been subjected to an infringement of my rights, as XXXX has reported my student loan information without my explicit consent. 

This violation is not only concerning but also unacceptable. I want to emphasize that by disregarding the laws safeguarding my rights, XXXX has opened itself to legal repercussions. As a result, I want to make it explicitly clear that I reserve the right to pursue legal action against XXXX for this violation. The unauthorized reporting of my student loan information not only breaches my rights but also potentially harms my financial standing and credibility. 

In light of the aforementioned violations, I demand the following actions : Immediate removal of any and all references to my student loan information from my credit report. This action should be carried out promptly to mitigate any further damage to my creditworthiness. 

A written confirmation, sent to my address mentioned above, acknowledging the removal of the aforementioned information from my credit report and any other databases where it might have been shared or stored. 

An official apology from XXXX acknowledging the oversight and detailing the measures taken to ensure that such violations do not occur in the future. 

I expect a timely response to this complaint and action on the aforementioned demands within " 14 days '' from the receipt of this letter. Failure to address this issue promptly and adequately will leave me with no option but to seek legal recourse. 

I trust that you will treat this matter with the seriousness it warrants and take immediate corrective action. I look forward to your prompt attention to this pressing concern. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX.

Complaint narrative:
For more than 18 years, the mortgage payment was done directly from my bank for the amount of $ XXXX. It looks PHH took out {$1000.00} from one of the auto payment and applied it to buy insurance, when I investigated why there was a need to buy insurance because I do have insurance from XXXX? and no one was able to answer, I called XXXX and I got a confirmation that for all insurances ( Car, mortgage, property ) are paid on time. 
PHH did not use the best accounting practice, the payment must be applied to the monthly mortgage as it was sent from my bank, but by taking out {$1000.00} from the monthly payment, it made {$3000.00} sitting in suspended state and made the reminder amount {$3000.00} insufficient to be applied to monthly payment thus making the account late pulse incurring penalty.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2023, I tried to make end of year donations with my Citibank ( rewards ) Master card. They did not go through. I called every XXXX customer service number for Citibank credit cards, and all of them directed me to recording that the office was closed. I finally reached a living person, overseas, who informed me that my card was put on hold and directed me to call one of the XXXX XXXX numbers I had already called. 

Beside being terrible customer service, I wonder if it a card company can make claims about 24/7 service and not provide it. Especially for service like using the credit card. What if I was stranded in airport overseas, or at a gas station in the middle of nowhere.

I want you to ensure that Citi does not repeat this unacceptable blunder again.
