Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted a request to block items on my consumer report as I am a victim of identity theft. This was not a dispute, however, the FCRA has chosen to forgo Federal regulation and apply their company policy to treat this as a dispute. In fact, when I called them, they stated that their policy supersedes Federal law ( which states ) ( a ) Block A consumer reporting agency should block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer that the consumer identifies as information that resulted from alleged identity theft, not later than 4 business days after the date receipt by such agency of- ( 1 ) appropriate proof of the identity of the consumer ; ( 2 ) a copy of an identity theft report, ( 3 ) the identification of such information by the consumer, and ( 4 ) a statement by the consumer that the information is not information relating to any transaction by the consumer. I submitted proof that my social security number, fingerprints, birthdate, addresses, and other identifying information were affected by the 2015 OPM data breach as well as XXXX 's XXXX data breach.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: HI

Complaint narrative:
Citi bank Costco card has been overturning my disputes, I believe there are 61 I was told. Some of them are either purchased and product wasnt delivered or service wasnt provided. Others are what I claimed to be not purchased by me or anyone that Ive given authority to use. Ill be sent a new card but the dispute will be over turned and not listed as fraudulent. Ive called and requested for my past statements and dispute findings and letters from As far back as 2013. Ive had to call mutiple times to request for the same statements, which were then sent to me in 5 or six different envelopes on different weeks. The dispute letters I have requested for have not been sent to me nor can I access them on the website or app. Ive spoken with them and they can not look back only a few months. Ive been hung up on or disconnected multiple times after giving my personal information. Ive changed my password that you use when you speak to a representative and in the same day been asked my old password form the first woman. Then calling back later to verify a payment getting asked for my new password. When asking to speak to a supervisor I am told that no one is available. Also, while having a ongoing dispute opened they have refunded payment then taken back credit then reversing and then overturning a charge on multiple statements making it difficult to see when or if I got credited or charged. If you could please help me.
