Company: CITIBANK, N.A.

Complaint narrative:
I started a refinance on my commercial party back in XX/XX/XXXX. I signed the refinance in XX/XX/XXXX. The lender is Citibank and I primarily dealt with XXXX XXXX. I wanted a 3 year prepayment penalty ( from the 5 year ) and XXXX got the approval. On the day of signed the loan documents, I noticed the note mentioned 5 year prepayment penalty and told XXXX about it. He told me he would get a 3 year prepayment document to me to sign later on. I also found it very odd that XXXX knew of the notary and the notary 's colleagues on a first name basis. The whole signing felt pressured for me to sign and just move on and not read the documents. The notary did XXXX explanations. 

Moving forward, the signing was on XX/XX/XXXX. I messaged XXXX about a month later in XXXX about the 3 year prepayment and he replied back, " Working on it. '' I did not hear anything and in XXXX I asked him again but he seems to be ignoring my messages now.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a complaint against Transunion for allowing XXXX XXXX XXXX to report fraudulent and negative collection accounts on my credit report despite the fact that they know my account is under investigation for identity theft. 

As a victim of identity theft, I have taken all the necessary steps to report this crime and have already filed a complaint with identity.gov. However, Transunion has not taken the appropriate action to block any inaccurate information related to XXXX XXXX XXXX from appearing on my credit report, as required by federal law. 

Furthermore, I am concerned that Transunion is not conducting proper investigations before allowing companies to report information on my credit report. This is unacceptable and goes against the Fair Credit Reporting Act, which requires credit reporting agencies to ensure that all information on a consumer 's credit report is accurate and fair. 

I urge you to investigate this matter thoroughly and take appropriate action against Transunion for allowing fraudulent and negative information to be reported on my credit report. I also request that Transunion remove all inaccurate information related to XXXX XXXX XXXX from my credit report and provide me with a written response within 10 business days, confirming that the information has been removed.

Complaint narrative:
I have disputed the referenced accounts to the 3 main credit bureaus and do not owe your company anything. I dont know this company and I do not recall ever having this debt and appears to be fraud, see attached FTC Report. Moreover, no adequate information has been given and noticed these accounts appear to violate my rights as well, per 15 USC 1692 ( e ) ( f ) ( g ). Moreover, you stated the account was verified as accurate by law 15 USC 1681 ( e ). Per 15 USC 1681 ( e ) The term investigative consumer report means a consumer report or portion thereof in which information on a consumers character, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living is obtained through personal interviews with neighbors, friends, or associates of the consumer reported on or with others with whom he is acquainted or who may have knowledge concerning any such items of information. However, such information shall not include specific factual information on a consumers credit record obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from a consumer reporting agency when such information was obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from the consumer. Investigations weren't completed as described by law and no factual information should be on credit reports. Im requesting the removal of accounts and/or monetary compensation due to violations of my rights. Im currently seeking litigation regarding consistent harassment, unfair debt practices, adding without my permission/authorization within 5 days, and more. As the original creditor, only I can validate the debt therefore Im requesting removal and this account violates my consumer rights in several ways. Please remove and provide some updates within 4 days of receipt, as this has been ongoing for over 4-5 months.
