Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
A collection account listed under XXXX in the amount of {$310.00} is currently on credit report. I have no knowledge of such debt owed. My dispute is based on the fact that I have never received a legally required debt validation notice as required by the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ) Section 809, 15 U.S.C. 1692g. The FDCPA mandates that within five days of the initial communication with a consumer regarding a debt, a debt collector must send a written notice that includes : The amount of the debt.

The name of the creditor to whom the debt is owed. 
A statement that the consumer has 30 days to dispute the debt 's validity in writing. 
A statement that, upon receiving a written dispute, the debt collector will obtain and provide verification of the debt. 
A statement that, if the consumer requests the name and address of the original creditor, the debt collector will provide that information upon request. 

I wish to inform you that I have not received such a debt validation notice via mail or electronically from the collection company or any other entity. As a consumer, I have the right to request and receive this information to verify the validity of the debt in question.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I requested that two items needed to have a stop pay because they were redundant and I had already paid them or scheduled a payment. I specifically stated I wasn't disputing the charges and that the companies weren't at fault. The Citibank Dispute representative didn't understand that and had a very poor understanding of how her bank works along with poor English skills. 

Citi sent me forms to fill out to pursue the " disputes ''. I never filled out these forms and decided it was easier to leave the charges as they stood. 

Two days later I couldn't log into my account and was directed to a number. I called the number and the man who answered stated he called me. I never received a call from Citibank. I don't recall ever receiving a call from Citibank, ever. 

I was run around in circles for two hours to finally get the information that my account was locked due to fraud. There was no fraud. I specifically claimed that I was responsible for the issues I was trying to get rectified. I couldn't get anyone to listen. What kind of global bank  operates this way? 

I was then yelled at because I had ACH deposits that I needed access to. No one would give me an intelligent answer. I was then informed by the fraud department that any transactions received would be returned including ACH deposits. This was completely false-they had made it up and lied about it. 

The lock-out happened on Weds XX/XX/. A social security ACH deposit was accepted by Citi on Friday, XX/XX/. I need access to these funds. Citibank refuses to release them. 

I have been yelled at, consistently fed false information, and treated unprofessionally. I need those funds released, not in 60 days but now. What kind of bank employs people who have no business interacting with their clients.

Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes — 
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I've had the credit bureau accounts frozen for years. 
XX/XX/23 I applied for a loan. I was told I needed to unfreeze my account with Experian ( as I expected ) Issue # 1. I was able to access Experian to the extent their automated system told me my account is unfrozen. This contradicts what the loan company told me. It should have been frozen as I had not unfrozen it. 
Issue # 2. Experian evidently replaced their PIN system so the PIN I had used in the past didn't work. I tried 15 times to enter different user names to create an account. Every time I got to the 6th letter it told me that user name was already taken. Therefore, I couldn't create an account to verify whether my account is frozen as the loan company told me or unfrozen as Experian 's automated system told me. 
Issue # 3. I repeatedly tried maneuvering through Experian 's automated system trying to find a way to talk to a person. Every path I chose resulted in the system telling me my issue didn't meet the criteria to talk to a person.
