Complaint narrative:
I have a balance in my savings account that Id like to withdraw, and I wish to close the account. When I contacted Citibank, they informed me that they couldnt process this request over the phone because I dont have the debit card associated with the account. I dont recall ever receiving this card.

I asked if there were alternative methods, and they advised me to send a physical letter requesting the account closure. I followed their instructions and sent the letter, only to be told that it now needs to be notarized. This process has been increasingly difficult, and Im looking to resolve this as soon as possible.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION

Complaint narrative:
Bank of America alleged I owe {$2300.00} on my credit card. They didn't provide proof. They had the debt charged off. Then after charging the debt off they sold it to debt collectors. I didn't pay. Now somehow they got the alleged debt back and in order to wrongfully, willfully and wantonly keep this debt going past the statute of limitations, they are continuing to report this to the credit reporting agencies. I have no income as I'm not working and not receiving money from SSA, etc.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
My account with EQUIFAX XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment.

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family!

I demand the late payment to be updated. 


They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. 


EQUIFAX XXXX XXXX Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided.

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!

Update the late payments from my consumer reports

Complaint narrative:
Name : XX/XX/XXXXXX/XX/XXXX Last XXXX of XXXX : XXXX Hello. I am contacting the CFPB today to detail my recent experience with identity theft. 

XXXX XXXX, the individual who stole my identity, lived with me for 10 years. He made copies of my social security card, driver 's license, and birth certificate during his stay. He proceeded to open up numerous accounts in my name with no authorization from me. I am trying my best to remedy the fire he started but he has been the direct cause of the crippling debt that is reporting to my credit report. I have also filed a police report, but this is all I can do as he is nowhere to be found. 

I sent this letter once time prior ; I would really appreciate putting all this behind me and continuing the recovery process. I can't do that if these accounts, that I've reported to the police and the FTC, are still showing up on my credit report.

Also, after researching for hours on the best ways to help my situation, this CFPB complaint has been filed to request under FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you, the Equifax credit reporting agency , block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within 4 business days of you receiving this complaint. I have once again provided the information regarding the account in question : XX/XX/XXXXXX/XX/XXXX I dont recognize these accounts. I did not authorize these and because of an evil roommate, I have to suffer for his terrible actions. These accounts were not made, opened, or initiated by me. Unfortunately, they are the result of identity theft and fraud. I have attached a copy of FTC Identity Theft Criminal Complaint # ( XXXX ), along with the other numerous FTC Affidavits I have submitted to Equifax, as proof from the US Federal Trade Commission that the account mentioned above is the result of identity theft and fraud.
