Issue: Fees or interest — Unexpected increase in interest rate
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
I did a balance transfer of {$9500.00} and paid {$280.00}, 3 % of the transaction fee for a 0.99 % interest on {$9500.00} until XX/XX/XXXX, and attached a statement document ( XXXX XXXX ) to support this statement. 

I had an auto-pay set up for an outstanding balance of two payments per billing cycle and forgot to change auto-pay to a minimum balance. The very next month, the credit card company collected half of the balance {$4800.00}, and the second payment for the other half of the statement balance did not go through due to insufficient funds in my bank account due to that the credit card company started charging 22.24 % on the remaining balance. The attached statement document ( XXXX XXXX ) supports this statement. 

For the balance transfer, I am only required to pay a minimum balance and am eligible for 0.99 % interest until XX/XX/XXXX. 

I called the credit card company to return the payment {$4800.00} as I paid a transaction fee of 3 % they said once it is paid it can not be refunded. The credit card company started charging 22.24 % interest on the remaining balance as shown on XX/XX/XXXX statement ( XXXX XXXX ) and until the very recent statement. The credit card company closed my credit card account and other Costco credit card accounts as the payment was denied as stated above.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to address a serious matter regarding inaccuracies in my credit report that have arisen due to identity theft. Despite my previous attempts to rectify this situation, it has come to my attention that the erroneous items have not been removed as required by law. 

Under section 605b of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), it is mandated that any items found to be opened due to identity theft must be promptly removed from my credit report upon receipt of an FTC fraud report. As such, I have submitted the necessary documentation to support my claim, yet the fraudulent accounts listed below remain on my credit report : These accounts were opened without my consent or knowledge, and I am adamant that they be removed from my credit report immediately. 

In accordance with the FCRA, I am giving you formal notice that if these items are not removed within the next four business days, I will be left with no choice but to pursue legal action. My intention is to resolve this matter amicably and without the need for litigation. However, I will not hesitate to involve my attorney if necessary to ensure compliance with the law. 

Furthermore, if you claim that these items are 100 % accurate and verifiable, I demand that you provide me with copies of any documentation associated with these accounts that bear my signature. As I know no such documentation exists, I expect that this information will be promptly deleted from the credit file associated with my Social Security number. 

I urge you to take immediate action to address this issue and prevent further harm to my credit and financial well-being. With this, I am asking for your assisstance to remove these fraud items in my credit file : XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$0.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$4900.00} XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$640.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX : {$4800.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$0.00} XXXX  XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$2500.00} XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$640.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Balance Owed : {$46000.00} XXXX  XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$6300.00} XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX.

Company: CREDIT ACCEPTANCE CORPORATION
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I have recently received a copy of my consumer reports and noticed that your company has disclosed nonpublic personal information to multiple nonaffiliated third parties such as the CRA 's. You have furnished my personal account information [ CREDIT ACCEPTANCE CORP ACC # XXXX ] to the consumer reporting agencies without considering disclosing to me first whether I wanted to have my account information shared or not. According to the Gramm Leach Bailey Act, Financial institutions are permitted to disclose to a consumer in writing or electronic form, that such information ( MY PRIVACY ) may be disclosed to such third parties ( CRA 'S ). After carefully reviewing our contract agreement I notice I have not received or signed any disclosure stating that I give your company permission to furnish my nonpublic personal information. See 15 U.S. Code 6802 - Obligations with respect to disclosures of personal information ( a ) Notice requirements Except as otherwise provided in this subchapter, a financial institution may not, directly or through any affiliate, disclose to a nonaffiliated third party any nonpublic personal information, unless such financial institution provides or has provided to the consumer a notice that complies with section 6803 of this title.

( b ) Opt out ( 1 ) In general A financial institution may not disclose nonpublic personal information to a nonaffiliated third party unless ( A ) such financial institution clearly and conspicuously discloses to the consumer, in writing or in electronic form or other form permitted by the regulations prescribed under section 6804 of this title, that such information may be disclosed to such third party ; ( B ) the consumer is given the opportunity, before the time that such information is initially disclosed, to direct that such information not be disclosed to such third party ; and ( C ) the consumer is given an explanation of how the consumer can exercise that nondisclosure option.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: AR

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding the repeated failure to remove charge-off accounts from my credit report, despite multiple attempts to rectify this issue.

It has come to my attention that despite providing evidence of fraudulent activity and sending an FTC fraud report as mandated by section 605b of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), the following charge-off accounts have not been removed from my credit report : These accounts were opened without my consent or knowledge, and they are clearly the result of identity theft. As such, it is imperative that they are promptly removed from my credit report to prevent any further damage to my creditworthiness.

I have made numerous attempts to resolve this matter through proper channels, yet the accounts remain on my credit report, inaccurately reflecting upon my credit history. This persistent failure to address the issue not only violates my rights under the FCRA but also undermines my ability to secure credit and financial opportunities.

Therefore, I am formally demanding the immediate removal of the aforementioned charge-off accounts from my credit report. If you maintain that these items are 100 % accurate and verifiable, I require copies of any documentation associated with these accounts bearing my signature. However, I can assure you that no such documentation exists, as these accounts are a result of identity theft.

Please be advised that if the requested action is not taken within XXXX business days, I will have no choice but to escalate this matter and seek legal recourse. I am committed to resolving this issue in a fair and lawful manner, but I can not tolerate continued negligence and non-compliance with the law. With this, I am asking for your assisstance to remove these accounts in my credit file : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$4900.00} ; XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$640.00} ; XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$4800.00}.
