Consumer complaint received 2023-03-11 00:00:00
Product: Debt collection — Medical debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was already discharged in bankruptcy and is no longer owed
Company: Phoenix Financial Services LLC
State: OK

Complaint narrative:
On Monday, XX/XX/XXXX I received a letter from Phoenix Financial saying that they had been hired to collect a medical debt from me that originated in XXXX. I ignored the letter thinking it was a scam because I applied for XXXX XXXX bankruptcy relief on XX/XX/XXXX and had the bankruptcy discharged in XX/XX/XXXX. Case number XXXX. 
I received notification that Phoenix Financial went ahead and reported a collections account to the credit bureau XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX in the amount of {$1300.00} with the original creditor being reported as XXXX XXXX XXXX. This was reported to XXXX with an open date of XX/XX/XXXX despite the debt originating in XXXX. All debt was discharged in the XXXX XXXX bankruptcy and this debt was not reaffirmed. This company seems to be in violation of the bankruptcy courts order of discharge by attempting to collect on this debt.

I opened a XXXX XXXX credit card XX/XX/XXXX, and fully paid the principal as well as all late fees XX/XX/XXXX.

After {$340.00} in late fees ( which was over double what my account limit was which was a {$100.00} spending limit ) it was sent to Midland Collection agency.

Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Managing an account — Problem using a debit or ATM card
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2023, I discovered that there were debit card ( Citibank Checking Account ) transactions that I do not recognize or authorize. I called the Citibank customer service and filed a dispute on 12 transactions in a total amount of {$1500.00}. all of them happened between XX/XX/2023 and XX/XX/2023. The agent over the phone told me that they will review the inccidents and credit the amount withing 10 days. However, it did not happen and I received a mail saying that I am responsible for those charges. 

During the perioud and even afterward, I have had the debit card with me all along and nevered revealed the card number or the PIN. While those transactions occur in other states such as PA, MN or in XXXX XXXX, CA, I stayed at home or at work in XXXX California. 

There were 10 XXXX transaction, within 3 days and 8 happend on the same day. Even none of them in an amount over {$800.00}. In anyone 's eyes, it looks suspecious enogh and I believe Citibank should have noticed it before I take a look at my transactions and should also have blocked the transactions. And of course proactively let me know, just like other financial institutions do. ( I had experience with Case card being blocked and notifying and requesting confirmation by text messages, as out of state transaction occur. ) I am writing to an appeal letter to Citibank, as well as submitting a complaint here. 
Copies of the letter from Citibank and the statement ( With the transactions underlined ) in PDF format attached.
