Consumer complaint received 2017-08-07 00:00:00
Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
I had a reoccurring charge of {$75.00} per month paid to a medical doctor for monthly visits. I saw my provider last on XX/XX/2017 and the monthly charge occurred on XX/XX/2017. In XXXX of 2017 when I tried to schedule my next monthly visit, my medical doctor 's former shared office receptionist said the provider was no longer practicing and suddenly closed her practice due to a medical condition. I realized the provider never stopped the automatic payments. I contacted my credit card company to dispute the next month 's charge which ultimately was successful. However, unknown to me the monthly charges continued in XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX on the XXXX of the month. I contacted the credit card company again to dispute the new charges, the processor accidentally logged the disputed amount for {$23.00} versus {$75.00} per month for each of the 3 months. I tried to resolve the error that the credit card customer service rep made when logging my call but the credit card company has refused to correct their error and will not take my revised complaint for the balance of the disputed amount. They state I must contact the merchant directly but I am not able to make contact with the doctor because she has retired due to a medical condition. At no time did I specify a lower amount than the entire {$75.00} per month I was disputing. The error is from the credit card company 's intake staff and not on faulty information I provided. The intake was recorded and could be verified. I feel the dispute process failed me and is making me pay for services I have not received. As a final means to ensure I would not continue to receive future charges from this provider, I closed the card number and received a new card.

Complaint narrative:
I noticed that there was a new collection account on my credit report and when I went through the information I noticed this was not actually a new collection account but an account that was transferred to a new collection company. The company is XXXX XXXX and the original creditor is XXXX  XXXX. The amount is {$460.00}. This debt had previously been reported by XXXX XXXX  starting in XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX XXXX is reporting this as a new collection. I contacted XXXX on Monday XX/XX/XXXX in order to have them fix this information and they said because they just received this account it is a new collection. I contacted Experian and XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX to have them look into this information and they told me they could not help me. On XX/XX/XXXX I contacted the CFPB and they told me to file a complaint. I feel that this is an attempt to reage this account as the account numbers were also changed and it is being reflected on my credit report as a new account even though this debt had been previously reported on my credit report through another company. I need help with this and having this information corrected as my credit report dropped XXXX points for this account and wrong information.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I have obtained my XXXX credit report on line. There are items from U.S. Bankruptcy Court listed on my credit report. Per FCRA 623 ( a ) ( 5 ) : If the Credit Bureau can not Validate the information with the original Creditor, they must remove said information from the consumer file. 
The Bankruptcy Courts have also reviewed the Public record section and have mailed me a return letter which emphatically stated that they do NOT provide any information to credit reporting agencies, nor do they ever validate or confirm public records. It is the credit reporting agencies and other third party providers who collect information regarding public cases from public records. Public records information is NEVER validated by the U.S Court system due to the Fair Credit Agency Privacy Law.
My inquiry to the U.S. Bankruptcy Court confirms your Credit Bureau has never validated these public record entries on my credit report, neither will they ever be by them. They further stated they are not liable or responsible for any misuse or incorrect public records, nor the distribution of said information, public records may and often times are reported by third party sources unaware to the consumer and in most cases, incorrectly. Considering this information indicates a Fair Credit Reporting Act Violation, I need all bankruptcy information currently showing under my name and or my social security number to be Permanently DELETED from my credit report immediately. The XXXX Credit Bureau needs to provide me with all documentation associated with these Public Records Accounts bearing either a court order to place this information in my credit report, or my authorization of release bearing my signature. In the meantime to be in full compliance with the FCRA laws and guidelines, all the information listed under Public Records needs to be immediately deleted from the credit file you maintain under my name and social security number. Be further advised that I am closely monitoring my credit file. Per federal Law, you have exactly 30 days to complete this as outlined per the Fair Credit Reporting Act 623 ( a ) ( 3 ). 
Per the Federal Credit Reporting Act, Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( a ), you are required by federal law to  verify through physical validation of the original signed consumer contract and or judgements all accounts and public information that you post on anyones credit report. Otherwise anyone paying for your services could fax, mail or email in fraudulent and erroneous account information. As such, if this unauthorized public record information is not deleted from my credit report within the next 30 days, I will be filing a complaint to the Federal Trade Commission, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and Better Business Bureau.

Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent a secure message to Comenity Bank in the online account servicing website for my Ann Taylor MasterCard requesting a waiver of the late fee and interest assessed on my XX/XX/XXXXstatement. I received a reply on XX/XX/XXXX, granting a courtesy credit for the {$27.00} late fee that had been assessed. However, when I viewed the online account activity for my card, the late fee correction appeared as an additional debit of {$27.00} dated XX/XX/XXXX rather than the expected credit. In my XX/XX/XXXX statement, a {$27.00} " other debits '' entry appeared in the summary of account activity, increasing the final statement balance, and the " LATE FEE CORRECTION '' transaction appeared as an additional charge rather than the expected credit. This additional charge was not what I expected from my request. On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent a reply to the secure message I had received in XX/XX/XXXX requesting that the late fee credit be properly processed. I received a reply on XX/XX/XXXX claiming that a proper {$27.00} late fee credit would be applied, but when I checked the associated account activity, I saw that a second " LATE FEE CORRECTION '' transaction for XX/XX/XXXX had appeared with an improper {$27.00} debit instead of the credits I desired. The two {$27.00} debits on my account are not legitimate fee assessments, as I have not made any recent late payments on my account, and I do not believe they are appropriate methods of addressing my initial request to waive a past late fee.
