Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
My credit score dropped tremendously due to inaccurate information. Again, Experian along with the other credit reports states they have no record of a Mortgage Company on file. We did a refi on the house in which  our new Loan is serviced by XXXX XXXX. As well we have eliminated some other debt as well. My credit score dropped almost 100 points due to inaccurate information. This needs to be corrected ASAP. These companies need to post the accurate information, not something that is totally false.

Complaint narrative:
I have two unauthorized inquiries ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX ) ( XXXX XXXX ) on my credit file, both of these inquiries weren't authorized by me.I do have a account with XXXX which I was a prepaid account holder for years. I kept getting texts messages saying " for being a valuable and long standing customer I qualify to get a post payment account ''. I did go into the XXXX store and paid my prepaid bill, and asked the young lady who took my payment about the post pay deal, she asked did I want to switch my plans, and I distinctively asked the young lady did they have to run my credit because I was trying to keep my score up and inquiries down, she then asked another young lady who replied " it won't mess with your credit it's only a soft pull. I said if it's only a soft pull sure, I didn't sign no paperwork she did everything on the computer while I was at the counter. I'm not on a XXXX contract it's just a post pay plan, so that shouldn't be held against me, and I shouldn't have a useless hard inquiry on my file due to employees lying to get business.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing a charge of {$4800.00} dated XX/XX/2017 on my Citi XXXX XXXX XXXX and to complain that on two separate occasions Citi representatives blatantly lied to me. On XX/XX/2017 my daughter, who is a cardholder on the account, was called by an individual claiming to be from the IRS. In what we found out later to be a scam, he instructed her to pay the IRS {$4800.00} in XXXX XXXX gift cards. He told her not to speak to anybody at all about this or she would be arrested immediately. My daughter went as directed to the XXXX XXXX in XXXX, NY and charged that amount on our XXXX. Citi texted me a fraud alert and shortly afterwards my daughter texted me begging me to approve the charge. She is a very responsible and intelligent adult who fell into the trap of a professional scammer. I did authorize the charge because I did not have the slightest knowledge that this was a scam at the time. She was later directed to go to XXXX, where the store personnel helped my daughter conclude that this was a scam and she promptly called and provided me with all the details described above. It was then that she disclosed that just minutes before using the Citi card she was ordered by the scam artist to purchase other gift cards and she maxed out her own personal XXXX XXXX XXXX to do so. 

Once I was given this background information, I immediately contacted Citi customer service. I spoke with a gentleman whose name I believe was XXXX, and he advised me to cancel the current card and get a new one. He said this was the safest way to ensure that the charge was unconditionally removed from our account. This was a total lie because Citi later held me responsible for paying the {$4800.00}. A few days later, after we received our replacement cards, my wife called Citi customer service to confirm that the charge had been erased and she was told not to worry and that we would not be responsible for the charge. That was the second total lie that Citi told me. Citi reviewed the phone conversations and completely agreed with my account of the conversations with the 2 representatives. 

I sent a letter to Citi 's Office of the President and they denied my claim to have the {$4800.00} charge removed from my account. The lies from Citi representatives are indicative of deplorable customer service and I am contacting the CFPB in the hope that this can be resolved. Hopefully this will also serve as a warning to other clients and potential customers that Citi does not keep its word and honor their commitments, even for this account that has been paid off in full consistently over forty years.
