Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the claimed debt identified above. Despite my previous attempts to provide relevant information, I received an email from Experian on XX/XX/XXXX, indicating that my request to block information was made on a material misrepresentation or error. This response is unacceptable, particularly given the sensitive nature of the matter and the legal implications involved. 

To clarify, I have already submitted numerous pieces of information about this account, including a certified mail sent to Experian on XX/XX/XXXX. This certified mail included copies of the FTC complaint, police report, identity theft affidavit, utility bill, copy of driver 's license, copy of my Social Security card, and a copy of FCRA Section 609 ( e ). As a consumer disputing claimed debts under the US Constitution and the law of California State and US Federal Law, I reserve and invoke all legal rights to which I am entitled. 
I wish to remind you that by violating my FCRA 609, the Truth in Lending Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Credit Billing Act, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, the Electronic Funds Transfer Act, and the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act, you are putting yourself at legal risk. You may be liable for your willful noncompliance, as seen in Wenger v. Trans Union Corp., No. 95-6445 ( C.D.CaI. Nov. 14, 1995 ). Therefore, I urge you to take immediate action and remove this inaccurate and incomplete information, specifically the XXXX XXXX XXXX account number XXXX, within the next 30 days. 

Should you fail to comply with this request, I will be left with no choice but to file a formal complaint with the Federal Trade Commission. Furthermore, if this final request does not prompt you to conduct a proper investigation of this account in question and provide me with proof of said investigation, I will be forced to file a civil suit in my county for damages. Please be advised that I take my credit very seriously and your lack of professionalism and assistance is deeply disappointing. 

I am well aware of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act and I intend to pursue them to the maximum. I urge you to handle this matter with the utmost urgency and professionalism and to comply with my request as outlined above.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint against XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX for incorrect reporting of my repossession balance. The balance is incorrect because on the Explanation of Deficiency dated XX/XX/2021 XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX listed my loan balance at the time of repo as {$5600.00}. On the Transaction History Report that I also received from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX the balance at the time of repossession was {$5000.00}. The account adjustments don't total any adjustments that are listed on my transaction history. Also, the amount that the car was sold for is listed as {$1900.00} on the Explanation of XXXX but on my transaction history it was listed only sold for {$1500.00}. Even after deducting the cost associated with repossessing and selling the vehicle it still does not amount to what is listed on the transaction history provided by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

This has caused me significant harm and financial distress. I am therefore requesting full deletion of this account from my credit reports from the consumer reporting agencies to make me whole, and to account for the negative impacts this incorrect reporting has had on my credit score. XXXX XXXXXXXX is very aware that they are verifying inaccuracies concerning this account to the consumer reporting agencies which is illegal. I am also concerned that XXXX XXXX can verify any information they feel is right and none of the consumer reporting agencies have conducted a full and proper investigation into the account to ensure they are reporting accurate information on my credit report. In order to do so, I cite section 623 of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, which protects consumers from inaccurate information reported by creditors.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX, opened a Citibank credit card account ( Citi Rewards+ ) and requested statements be sent via US Mail. ( I have several Citibank accounts- they are all set up for statement delivery via US Mail ) I did not receive any statements for this account. After 60 days, Citi reached out to me to let me know they had not received payment. I inquired with Citibank about the statements. Citibank did not know why the statements had not been sent and was unable to resolve. I paid the amount due in full immediately and Citibank refunded a {$40.00} late fee and agreed to adjust credit agency reporting. I did not use this card any longer because of the unresolved statement issue. 

This week, I applied for a mortgage and was informed that credit approval it was going to be an issue because Citibank was reporting a 30 day and a 60 day late payment on this credit card account resulting in significant decline in my credit score. 

I spoke with Citibank on XX/XX/XXXX and they were unable to determine why I had not received any statements. We did a series of tests, switching the account to electronically delivery to see if I could receive electronic mail from Citibank. While I receive other communications from Citibank electronically, Citi was unable to send anything related to this specific account to my email address. Obviously, there is a technical issue prevent statements from being delivered. ( Notwithstanding their initial error in not sending statements via US Mail ) Citi could not figure out why the account was not originally set up for US Mail delivery as explicitly directed and was not interested in resolving the issue. I have not used this card since the initial statement delivery issue.
