Complaint narrative:
I have disputed the referenced accounts to the 3 main credit bureaus and do not owe your company anything. I dont know this company and I do not recall ever having this debt and appears to be fraud, see attached FTC Report. Moreover, no adequate information has been given and noticed these accounts appear to violate my rights as well, per 15 USC 1692 ( e ) ( f ) ( g ). Moreover, you stated the account was verified as accurate by law 15 USC 1681 ( e ). Per 15 USC 1681 ( e ) The term investigative consumer report means a consumer report or portion thereof in which information on a consumers character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living is obtained through personal interviews with neighbors, friends, or associates of the consumer reported on or with others with whom he is acquainted or who may have knowledge concerning any such items of information. However, such information shall not include specific factual information on a consumers credit record obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from a consumer reporting agency when such information was obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from the consumer. Investigations weren't completed as described by law and no factual information should be on credit reports. Im requesting the removal of accounts and/or monetary compensation due to violations of my rights. Im currently seeking litigation regarding consistent harassment, unfair debt practices, adding without my permission/authorization within 5 days, and more. As the original creditor, only I can validate the debt therefore Im requesting removal and this account violates my consumer rights in several ways. Please remove and provide some updates within 4 days of receipt, as this has been ongoing for over XXXX months.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Signed up for the Best Buy credit card physically at a store location In around XXXX ( i believe it was Best Buy, in XXXX XXXX, NC ) i didnt do anything online or speak to any credit personel. i filled out the paper application and at the time was also making a larger purchase. I was approved for the credit card at the time of purchase and have an active and good standing credit account with them for the last 12 years. 

I usually kept the balance very low or at {$0.00} most the time i have owned the card, until recently i just noticed that since i used the card a good bit last year i started seeing a recurring monthly charge labeled simply as " DEBT PROTEC : XXXX '' I feel bad the i only noticed this charge until now, i usually pay my bill and dont look too much at my statements. 

on XX/XX/XXXX I called CITI bank and was given another phone number that apparently is the parent company of this scam program called debt protection for best buy CITI cards. 

Not only was the customer service team barely able to explain in good detail what the program did but they also had no clue that there was a over XXXX XXXX dollar lawsuit settled that directly related to the program and more iomportantly people like myself who signed up and started theyre accounts in store on paper applications and was never asked whether or not i wanted to enroll in such program. 

Not only did the customer service tell me all they can do is cancel it and that they could submit a request to refund, they laughed when i asked if i would be refuned the amount of charges i paid over the entire 12 years of being a cardholder and account holder. 

Not only have a been paying into something fraudulent for years and years, i cant even tell how much i paid in total because i can only see my month statements dating back until XXXX. There's an additional 8 years i can not view. 

And on top of all this, during the customer service representive trying to explain what the program was and what it did, she stated that it can also wipe out debt or amount owed if the account holder ever became unemployed or XXXX. 

On XX/XX/XXXX i became 100 % Permanently and Totally XXXX and considered Unemplyable by the Deparment of Veterans Affairs ( i have all paperwork to prove ) and have not had a job in the last 4 years. So i was apparently paying into a program for 12 years, became XXXX and unemployed the last 4 years, and not once did i know anything about this scam program that apparently should have been helping me and did not! 

I really hope you can help me resolve this issue, i feel like i should have been a part of the lawsuit filed in XXXX against CITIBank but again i was kept out of the loop.
