Complaint narrative:
My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXX and all payments were placed on XXXX. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! I demand the late payment reported to be removed/updated. They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law! 15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than XXXX days before the payment due date. I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered XXXX days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule XXXX and It was never provided.

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 my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

You have reported inaccurate and unauthorized accounts on my credit report, which is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681i ) requiring a proper reinvestigation of disputed items, and 1681e ( b ), which mandates maximum possible accuracy. These false entries are damaging and unjust, especially since Ive never opened or authorized these accounts.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: OR

Complaint narrative:
I requested a chargeback for a purchase on my Citibank simplicity card regarding a merchant who had been dishonest with me on XX/XX/year>. 
I was told by the company they would take care of all import fees. They did not ; when shipment arrived I refused delivery and had XXXX return to sender. 
XXXX provided information to Citibank who took the merchant 's side and " closed '' the dispute. 

On XX/XX/year> they requested information including the date I returned the merchandise. I provided all information to them ( I have documentation ) on XX/XX/XXXX, including the tracking numbers of the returned, unopened merchandise. 

Citibank said the merchant refused to offer a return, even when merchandise arrived in their hometown. So, Citibank " closed '' the dispute again. 

Each letter Citibank issued to me had conflicting and contradictory reasons as to why they would not do a charge back. 

I filed an appeal on XX/XX/year> appealing the decision, mailing it certified mail within the deadline. I phoned Citibank multiple times and they received the appeal letter and were working on it. 

They responded on XX/XX/year> saying since I was in possession of the merchandise they are denying my appeal?!? I RETURNED THE MERCHANDISE. I HAVE PROOF OF RETURN FROM UPS. 

So Citibank is committing fraud by lying and saying I still have the merchandise. I would appreciate a CHARGE BACK for this transaction!!! 



I certified mailed an appeal letter to Citibank.

Complaint narrative:
I have never legally gone by these personal information nor do not currently reside at the listed residence. The inclusion of inaccurate aliases and unrelated or outdated addresses not only violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) under 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) which requires credit reporting agencies to maintain maximum possible accuracy but also creates a serious risk of identity confusion and impairs my ability to obtain credit under accurate and fair conditions. The presence of such erroneous personal information also raises concerns of data mishandling, especially in light of recent national data breaches. Despite previous attempts to have this information corrected, Bureaus might have failed to remove the incorrect aliases and address entries, even though I have never used these names and do not reside at the listed locations.

Complaint narrative:
Ive recently discovered several late payment notations on my credit report that are completely false, and I want to make it clear that I will not tolerate these inaccuracies being used to misjudge my financial character. These harmful entries are dragging down my credit score, affecting my access to opportunities, and putting unnecessary strain on my mental and emotional health. Some of these alleged late payments were in fact made on time, while others may stem from clerical mistakes or internal processing delays that were never communicated to me. The Fair Credit Reporting Act requires that every piece of data on a consumer report be factually accurate and verifiable by original documentation. That means if these late payment entries can not be backed up with real, dated billing statements or signed agreements, they should not be reported at all. I am demanding that these entries be immediately corrected or removed, depending on what the documentation proves. If the credit reporting agencies or furnishers continue to ignore this matter, I will interpret that as a willful and deliberate violation of federal lawand respond accordingly. I deserve better, and I will fight until this is made right.
