Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Fees or interest — Problem with fees
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: CT

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I paid the minimum monthly amount due on my credit card. That date was the deadline. 

The next day, I noticed that Citi had charged a late fee of {$40.00}. I called customer service and, after a long discussion, the bank reversed the charge. However, the agent took the position that the bank had " waived '' the fee as a courtesy. I explained that charging customers late fees when payment was timely was illegitimate. 

My concern is that the practice must be systemic. An investigation is needed.

Your company is furnishing an account on my credit report as a charge off which is debt that has been discharged and you took a tax write on. After contacting the IRS they explained that it was illegal that you were reporting this information to my credit report trying to collect or having a charged off status. This is called tax fraud upon the IRS and you will be reported for such. I demand you to remove the following item from my credit report and send the 1099-c so I can audit it to make sure you are in compliance. Also, the credit reporting agencies are reporting inconsistent information such as the Date last active and payment history. How can each bureau report different information if all data should be the same? You violated the FCRA 15 USC 1681eb you are reporting information that's not 100 % accurate. The IRS directed me to file form 3949a for illegal tax violations upon your company. I'm quite sure your CEO OR VP don't want to be in court for this matter.

Company: MOHELA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I logged into my account with my federal loan servicer MOHELA. I have an account alert that says the following : " We are in the process of updating your account. You will not be due for payment until after XX/XX/XXXX, and your interest rate will be 0 % through XX/XX/XXXX. The months from XXXX through XX/XX/XXXX will count toward income-driven repayment forgiveness and Public Service Loan Forgiveness , assuming all other requirements are met. Please allow up to 30 days for the updates to be completed. We appreciate your patience and will notify you after your account has been updated. '' My account lists a payment due on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. Mohela customer service told me 2 conflicting things in my 2 calls to them. The first representative told me they could not see the account alert and advised me it was probably a mistake. They told me to pay my normal payment as scheduled. The socond representative told me it was a legitimate message, and that I could ignore any bills and past due statements until XX/XX/XXXX. They would not refund my XXXX payment, but told me it would be placed in a " paid ahead '' status and would count for XXXX 's ( XXXX ) payment. 

I have received conflicting information both on my account and by customer service. I will not be making a payment based on the account alert and representative who told me that I had no bill due until XXXX. But I can not pin down any solid information from Mohela on what is due and when.
