Issue: Closing your account — Can't close your account
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: NV

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX : Attempted to use a recently opened Citi XXXX XXXX Mastercard to book a flight on XXXX XXXX 's website. The card purchase failed and the website instructed me to call my credit card issuer. 

I called Citi using the provided number at XXXX PDT. They were able to identify my account and I successfully provided my security word. However they asked to text me a code to my mobile number, which they were unable to complete. 

They told me they'd instead send me a letter which would arrive in a week, after which I could call to unlock the card, but I declined this saying that this would not allow me to make the flight purchase and that was the entire reason I applied for this card - for the 0 % APR until XXXX. 

Since this card was now useless to me, after successfully making my flight purchase using another non-Citi card, I called Citi once more at XXXX PDT to close the account, and due to feeling bait-and-switched, I did not want Citi to benefit in any way from having this account open, inflating any of their metrics, nor did I want to receive any communications about it. 

The service agent told me that I could not close the account because my account was under investigation. I am concerned that this may affect my credit score and ability to open other accounts, and I think it's outrageous that after preventing me from using the card, and being unable to verify me on the phone, that they are now are preventing me from closing the account.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: ME

Complaint narrative:
I have an item on my credit report from a debt buyer, XXXX XXXX XXXX, listed with a balance of {$1400.00}. However, both the original creditor, XXXX XXXX, and XXXX own account statement show the correct balance as {$1300.00}. I disputed the account with all three credit bureaus. 

XXXX eventually removed the account from my report, but it took several disputes and a phone call to get it resolved. I also disputed the account with XXXX, but they validated XXXX incorrect information. As a result, Ive filed a complaint against XXXX. This afternoon, Equifax completed my dispute, but they too verified the incorrect balance, despite the fact that I submitted documents clearly showing the reported amount is inaccurate. 

Its frustrating because it seems these companies are not thoroughly reviewing the evidence I provided. I dont know how they are " verifying '' the information, but its obvious they arent using the documents I submitted.

State: TX

Complaint narrative:
" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. 

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. 

I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record on my XXXX XXXX  account [ XXXX ]. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.
