Consumer complaint received 2025-10-14 00:00:00
Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Fees or interest — Problem with fees
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/2025, we bought XXXX pieces of clothing. We returned XXXX a couple of weeks later and kept the other, which cost about {$40.00}. We faced some life hardships and couldnt pay our bills on time. The bank failed to send us a letter stating that we had fallen behind on payments, despite our having been on time for over XXXX  years prior to that. We finally received a letter on XX/XX/XXXX, notifying us that the bank had imposed about XXXX late fees of {$41.00} each and had calculated interest on those late fees every month. If we had been notified earlier, this wouldn't have happened. The bank intentionally failed to send us any notice and continued to charge us outrageous {$41.00} fees and interest. We are now being asked to pay over {$220.00} for a {$40.00} item purchased in XXXX. According to this article, I believe the {$41.00} late fee is unjust, and applying interest on it is not only unfair but possibly illegal. Since the bank has not done any extra work to process/collect this payment, according to the annex article, I want the bank to waive all late fees and retract any negative credit reporting related to this transaction.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint because [ Experian / Equifax XXXX TransUnion ] has willfully ignored its duties under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ). Despite my disputes, the bureau failed to conduct a proper reinvestigation within 30 days, did not delete unverifiable information, and has not provided results. This violates 1681i and 1681e ( b ). Courts have made it clear that consumers can not be left with inaccurate credit reports : in Sessa v. TransUnion, LLC ( 2023 ), the court held inaccuracies must be corrected whether factual or legal ; in Kirtz ( 2024 ), the Supreme Court reaffirmed broad FCRA liability ; and in Norman v. TransUnion ( 2023 ), TransUnion paid {$23.00} million after mishandling consumer disputes. Because of these violations, my credit profile is inaccurate, my access to fair credit has been harmed, and my financial reputation has been damaged.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally request debt validation for a collection account mentioned in a letter I recently received. Under my rights through the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), I ask that your office provide clear proof that the debt is valid. This should include the name of the original creditor, the amount owed, a full payment record, and proof that I am responsible for this debt. 

I am making this request to ensure the information being reported is accurate and not the result of a mistake, fraud, or confusion. While waiting for proper validation, I ask that you pause all collection activity and reporting related to this account, as allowed by law.

Company: ALLY FINANCIAL INC.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
Dear Ally Financial Dispute Department, I am writing to dispute and formally demand the deletion of a negative tradeline associated with my name and credit file, reported by Ally Financial. The tradeline in question concerns an account that was settled in full approximately one year before your company finally closed out the account file. Despite the settlement, Ally Financial continued to report the account as delinquent and in collection status for multiple months after the resolution, causing significant damage to my credit profile.

This post-settlement reporting is false, misleading, and in direct violation of federal consumer protection laws, including the following : Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 623 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) [ 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) ] Prohibits any furnisher of credit information from reporting information that it knows or has reasonable cause to believe is inaccurate.

FCRA 607 ( b ) [ 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) ] Requires that furnishers and consumer reporting agencies maintain maximum possible accuracy in credit data.

FCRA 611 ( a ) [ 15 U.S.C. 1681i ] Provides consumers the right to dispute inaccurate or incomplete information, and requires reinvestigation within 30 days. 

CFPB Bulletin XXXX Clarifies that furnishers violate the law when they continue to report outdated, inaccurate, or misleading data following settlements or debt resolutions. 

Summary of Facts My account with Ally Financial was settled in full on [ insert date of settlement ]. 

Despite this, Ally Financial continued to report the account as past due / charged off for several months following the settlement. 

These actions have resulted in unjustified and damaging derogatory marks on my credit file. 

Action Requested Under the FCRA, I demand that Ally Financial : Immediately delete the negative tradeline and all associated derogatory reporting from all credit bureaus ( Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion ). 

Provide written confirmation of this deletion and correction within 30 days of receiving this letter. 

Cease any future reporting of this account as negative, charged-off, or in collections. 

If Ally Financial fails to remove this inaccurate and harmful information within the statutory timeframe, I am prepared to take further action, including but not limited to : Filing a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ). 

Notifying the New Jersey Attorney Generals Office.

Pursuing legal action for violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1681n and 1681o ), which allow for recovery of actual, statutory, and punitive damages, as well as attorneys fees. 

Please treat this as a formal dispute under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. I expect written confirmation of receipt and prompt deletion of the account in compliance with the law. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
