Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally file a complaint and follow up regarding Citibank 's failure to comply with my opt-out request. Despite my notification to Citibank to opt out of their marketing and data-sharing practices, I continue to receive communications and see evidence that my personal information is still being shared with third parties. This constitutes a violation of several federal and state laws. 

Under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act ( GLBA ), financial institutions are required to honor consumers ' privacy preferences, including the right to opt out of specific information-sharing practices. Citibank has failed to meet this obligation. As a resident of New Jersey, I am also protected under state privacy laws that mandate organizations respect consumers ' privacy rights, further compounding this violation. Additionally, 15 USC 1681a ( q ) ( 3 ) outlines the permissible purposes for sharing consumer report information. By continuing to share my information without my consent, Citibank is violating this provision. Furthermore, they are non-compliant with the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ) by failing to accurately disclose how my personal information is utilized and continuing to send me unsolicited communications that contradict TILA 's disclosure requirements. 

In light of these violations, I request immediate action to ensure that Citibank ceases all unsolicited communications, honors my opt-out request by stopping the sharing of my personal information, and fully complies with the relevant laws.

In the quiet humdrum of everyday life, a sudden jolt shattered the tranquility : I had become a victim of identity theft.

Yet, in the midst of chaos, a glimmer of resilience emerged, a resolve to reclaim what was rightfully mine and restore the harmony stolen by unseen adversaries. These are the following accounts need to be removed :

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the unavailability of my credit data from your bureau. As a diligent consumer who consistently monitors their credit profile, I am troubled by the recent discovery that vital information seems to be missing from your records. Despite being proactive in managing my finances and ensuring timely payments on all accounts, I have encountered significant hurdles due to the absence of my credit data from your bureau. This has not only caused inconvenience but has also put me in a precarious position, especially concerning recent financial transactions and loan applications. I have made numerous attempts to address this issue through your customer service channels, but regrettably, the resolution process has been slow and ineffective. As a result, I find myself facing unnecessary challenges in accessing essential financial services and opportunities.

Complaint narrative:
Trying to access my credit report from Experian. I forgot the username and Password and the email on file is inaccurate. It is impossible to contact anyone at Experian, as they do not have email, their chat is disabled and their telephone is an endless loop. Therefore, their lack of communication with consumers has essentially locked me out of using credit services. If Experian can not provide a method to communicate to consumers they should not have the power to lock someone out of the use of financial services.

Complaint narrative:
On 2 occasions, strangely, this card company has authorized fraudulent transactions on my account in other states. I have been with them for over a year and have never made purchases outside of the state of XXXX, Florida. On the occasions that they have made these transactions, they have been on the same day that my workplace makes my pay deposits. I call customer service and ask how they manage to do that. And they just say they don't know. I call to ask about my claims and they never know the status or know how to give an explanation. After 12 days, they send me an email denying my refund of that money because they say they can't find evidence to return the money ... which is so logical that no one can make comparisons in different states in person in less than 30 minutes ... I reported it to my state police.

Complaint narrative:
" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. ''

I was told the process was an application, which I completed over the phone. On XX/XX/XXXX, I called back and was told I was put into another forbearance.

I was assured that I was in loss mitigation and that my credit report would not be affected during this process. I called again on XX/XX/XXXX for a status update, I was told the application that was supposed to be done on XX/XX/XXXX was not done and I had to do another XXXX, which I did. On XX/XX/XXXX, this same thing happened again ; again on XX/XX/XXXX I went through the same process again after I received approval for the Stand Alone Partial Claim twice, and it was not honored either time. On XX/XX/XXXX, I called after returning the acceptance of the Partial Claim and was told I was put back in a forbearance. Each time I spoke with my mortgage company I asked about my credit and was assured that I would not be affected because I was in this process. On XX/XX/XXXX, I called after finding out that it has been reported that I was delinquent on my credit report and was on hold for XXXX hour and XXXX minutes for a supervisor, the supervisor answered and put me back on hold. I was then told that she would get back to me within XXXX. I have not received a call back to date. My credit is still affected and my issue with the forbearance remains.
