Complaint narrative:
Despite numerous efforts, I have been unsuccessful in resolving the issue of fraudulent inquiries on my consumer report. These inquiries are entirely unrelated to me, and I bear no responsibility for them. Their presence has resulted in considerable mental anguish and financial hardship. As an identity theft victim, I am left with no choice but to consider legal recourse if this matter is not adequately addressed. These inaccurate and fraudulent entries have impeded my ability to purchase my desired home and provide for my family 's needs. The impact on my financial stability has been profound. For your reference, I have enclosed a copy of my previous correspondence to the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), which details this issue and requests resolution.

Complaint narrative:
This was my first time utilizing my citibank account and I rented a car from XXXX XXXX XXXX  on XX/XX/year>. The total was {$750.00} with a deposit of XXXX. I returned my rental on XX/XX/year>. When I looked into my account not only was it overdrawn, but my money was missing. I deposited well over XXXX dollars in my account to cover any extra expenses I had while traveling. I have spoken with XXXX  multiple times and they informed me, that my deposit was released at XXXX on XX/XX/year>. It is now XX/XX/XXXX and Citibank has been giving me the complete run around about where my security deposit is. On XX/XX/year> I started calling Citibank about the status of my deposit. No matter who I talk to at Citibank Im met with rude, incompetent customer service representatives who do everything but help you with your issue. I have called Citibank multiple multiple times and Im always told they dont know where my deposit is and dont see anything coming in. Its so frustrating. Its a complete waste of time to continue to contact citibank about this with absolutely no help on their end. I have used XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX  multiple times in the past and never had this issue. This is my first time using my citibank account with sixt to rent a car and I come across this issue. Im not sure why Citibank is holding onto my deposit but I need my money back. If any additional information is needed please let me know. This has been a horrible experience for me and Im not sure how Citibank is still in business.
