Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
TransUnion put XXXX XXXX  ( Account # XXXX ) back on my credit report without doing a proper investigation or notifying me within 5 business days, which breaks the law under XXXX USC XXXX ( 5 ) ( B ) ( ii ) - ( iii ). This account was DELETED before, but now its back without any valid reason or proof. By law, TransUnion is supposed to make sure the information is accurate, notify me about the reinsertion, and provide details like the business name, contact info of the company that verified it, and my right to dispute it. I didnt get any of that. Instead, I got a generic notice, which makes me believe no proper investigation was done. Also, under XXXX USC XXXX ( f ), NOBODY is allowed to pull or report information on my credit without a valid reason. By not following these rules, TransUnion is responsible for willfully breaking the law under XXXX USC XXXX and being negligent under XXXX USC XXXX, which makes them liable for damages. I need proof of verificationwho they talked to, how they verified the account, and any documents related to it. If they cant prove it, they need to delete the account right away. If this doesnt get resolved, Ill be forced to take further action.

Complaint narrative:
I completed a request for transfer to the incorrect members account in error. On the first business day following the transaction, I reached out to XXXX XXXX to advise that the transfer was made in error to the wrong members account. I was both directly and indirectly advised by XXXX representatives XXXX on phone and the other on chat that the since the members account is negative the transaction can not be reversed. This is a violation of the members account confidentiality as his balance is not my business and I should not have been advised of his account standing. I am consulting with legal counsel to determine what my options are to obtain my funds. If XXXX XXXX will tell me in XXXX instances that another members account is in the negative, why would I believe they would not provide my information to others? They have clearly violated the confidentiality agreement in XXXX instances

Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Fees or interest — Charged too much interest
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I have been a customer of Citibank with this credit card account for 14 years. 
I noticed a few years ago that I was being charged double purchase interest. I called to ask why and they told me that it was something I agreed to but I never recalled agreeing to this and they could not provide proof of this. I ask if they could at least lower my interest rate since I was a long time customer and they denied this and continued to charge me double interest with a high interest rate. 

A few weeks ago, the credit card was paid in full prior to the billing cycle finishing. At the beginning of this week I received an e-mail showing I had a balance because they charged me double interest, even though the card had a {$0.00} balance. I contacted Citi bank to remove the interest charge that should have not been charged and they denied removing the interest charge. 

They also said they could not share the chat transcript with me.

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, CA XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Experian XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXXXXXX Subject : Notice of FCRA Violation Failure to Verify, Validate, and Provide Proof of Late Payment Reporting Dear Experian and XXXX, I am writing to formally dispute the inaccurate reporting of a late payment on my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX account, ending in XXXX. I have never been late on this account, and despite my repeated requests for verification and validation, both Experian and XXXX have failed to provide proof of the alleged late payment or the specific steps taken during the investigation. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 15 U.S.C. 1681i, credit reporting agencies are required to conduct a reasonable investigation when a consumer disputes inaccurate information. Additionally, under 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), credit bureaus must maintain maximum possible accuracy in consumer reports. Your failure to provide supporting documentation or a reasonable basis for continuing to report this erroneous late payment is a direct violation of these provisions. 

As a result of your failure to comply with the FCRA, I am requesting the immediate deletion of this inaccurate late payment from my credit report. Furthermore, I demand a detailed explanation of the investigation process, including : 1. The method used to verify the late payment with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. 
2. The documentation received from the creditor proving the alleged delinquency.

3. A description of the steps taken to ensure compliance with FCRA requirements.

If this matter is not resolved within 15 days, I will be left with no choice but to escalate my complaint by filing a formal grievance with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and my State Attorney Generals Office. Additionally, I will consider pursuing legal action for your failure to comply with federal law. 

Please respond in writing to confirm the removal of this inaccurate late payment and provide all requested documentation. You XXXX send your response to my mailing address listed above or via email. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX
