Citibank/XXXX  XXXX XXXX Department Stores National Bank ) issued my Statement of Account on XX/XX/XXXX - on page 3 you will see that my account is enrolled in automatic payment and that my next payment would be drafted on XX/XX/XXXX. According to Citibank- they had a system update on XX/XX/XXXX which deleted my automatic payment. They then reported me as late to the credit bureau. They have admitted their error and sent me a letter that the late payment will be removed from my credit reports, however, XXXX has not removed the XX/XX/XXXX late mark from my credit report even though the data furnisher has requested it. I have disputed the information with XXXX and they did not make the adjustment. I am including a copy of the letter from Macy 's that indicates they have requested the '30 day late ' be removed from my credit report, as well as a copy of the XXXX statement that indicates I am still enrolled in automatic payments. 

Citi did not provide an accurate account statement - XX/XX/XXXX statement indicated that my payment would be automatically debited, but Citi cancelled the payment due to their system update ( the statement was inaccurate - a violation of Reg Z ), and then reported the payment as late inaccurately to the credit bureaus ( a violation of FCRA ). XXXX did not remove the late payment as requested by Citi.

I contacted Equifax XX/XX/2022 and sent in all of the necessary information that the FTC instructed me to send after I was victim of identity theft. I dont check my credit report often or at all for that matter so I was not aware of these things until I recently made an attempt to move.

After Equifax received the identity theft police report, FTC affidavit, FCRA Section 605B, my identifications, and statement noting that the transactions are a result of identity theft, Equifax responded in an effort to treat this situation as a general dispute and forced a 30 day investigation on me as if Im lying about being a victim of fraud. It is belittling, unbecoming and hindering my life.

They made no effort to contact me within the 4 business days required and its preventing me from moving into an apartment home. 

Ive attached Equifaxs responses and have the full transcripts via the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. The complaint was closed without resolution.
