Complaint narrative:
I took out a credit card with XXXX XXXX XXXX  for XXXX. I paid off the full balance of {$310.00} on XX/XX/22. They charged me XXXX for the same amount. I can provide bank statements to prove they charged me. When I called and told them I was charged XXXX they said they would refund me. They refunded me the money 2 months later but said I owed them for returning my money and will be charged fees. I called customer service repeatedly and was told they closed and sold the account on XXXX XXXX to a third party and to contact them. I called the Collector and they provided me with no contact information so that I may have my attorney send them a letter of representation. The customer service rep refused to give me any further information.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing once more to express my perplexity regarding your credit bureau 's handling of the investigation into the fraudulent account on my credit report. As you are aware, I have submitted the required FTC report to the Federal Trade Commission regarding this fraudulent account, and following this submission, XXXX and XXXX have removed this account from their records. I have also directly contacted the company associated with this account, and they have confirmed the removal of the account. Therefore, I am puzzled as to why this account is still being reported by your bureau. It is imperative to recognize that as a credit bureau, you are legally mandated to ensure the accuracy and timeliness of your records. Failing to remove this fraudulent account not only violates this obligation but also exposes me to further harm.

Product: Vehicle loan or lease — Loan
Issue: Managing the loan or lease — Billing problem
Company: M&T BANK CORPORATION
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
I have had this vehicle loan with M & T Bank since XXXX. The first problem I faced was they never sent me any of my loan information ( payment amount, due dates, or how to pay ). Once I managed to get the information, it wouldn't let me log onto the website to pay. So, I called them, and they gave me the run around. I was finally able to login in XXXX to make the first payment, but it wouldn't allow me to set up automatic payments. Paying online is the only way I am able to pay as they did not send me paper slips ( I don't even know my account number, I never get a monthly statement in the mail even though I did not request paperless ), there are no branches around, and their customer service number won't allow me to make payments either. Every single month, I can never get logged in. The website is always down. Just today I tried logging in and was met with " they are working on fixing the problem ''. Now I am " locked out '' of my account because of an incorrect password when my password has not changed since I opened this stupid account. I have no way to access my account or make payments. I refuse to be held responsible for any late payments ( my payments for all my bills are on time ). I don't want to deal with this horrible bank anymore, but because of the age of the vehicle I can not refinance with another financial institution.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I have XXXX XXXX XXXX 's card for a long time and have rarely used it. About XX/XX/year>. I called their customer service, and I said that I am paying off and closing my account. I paid all my balance and asked the agent to close my account due to they keep sending me text messages regarding froglet activity in my account. Also, I asked the agent to email me the conformation, but the agent said It took 1 to 3 days to send you an email but I dont receive any email. 
After a couple of weeks when I checked I found that one of my card was closed and another new card that I am not aware of was their, and already has some charges. I called customer service again and I ask explanation. The agent was said " Yes the old one closed and we issued a new card. '' I wasn't ask for it. I asked again I already paid off where this charge comes from? she/he said " ohh..it is transferred from the old card. Even though I don't even received the new card, by calculating how much time and my energy I waist every time I called, I asked if I paid the amount my card will be closed? The agent said " yes " I paid all and I asked again to send me the conformation email or mail that I am not owing anything. As usual I don't received any email or mail regarding this. 
Again, after a couple of weeks when I checked, I sow {$3000.00} charge and to make a payment. I called again, they told me to file dispute. After that, every time I called, they telling me different things. Sometimes they say It is under investigation the investigation takes a time, once you file dispute you shouldnt worry about it. You dont need to pay anything but in the other hand they are harassing me with phone calls regarding late fees. Also, some emails from Citibank. 
Now I realized, I can't do by myself and I need help regarding this issues.
