Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem when making payments — Problem during payment process
Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: ME

Complaint narrative:
I have made two recent payments to L.L. Bean Mastercard. According to my bank and my online L.L. Bean account they have cleared. I have also received text messages from L.L. Bean that the payments have posted to my account. Yet I am unable to use my card and my bank account is continually being debited for returned check fees. My bank balance is sufficient to cover the payments I made, and again the payments have cleared with my bank. I have spoken with L.L. Bean several times, and have repeatedly been told the payments and access to my card will release in one week. It has already been one week, and now I am being told it will be another week. Meanwhile other payments scheduled to be made from my card can not go through. There is no reason for this delay, as according to my bank records and L.L. Bean 's own records, the payments have already cleared

Company: WESTERN UNION COMPANY, THE
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
I purchased from XXXX money orders for the amount of {$100.00} weekly for 4 months starting in XXXX XXXX through to mid XXXX for rent/savings at the halfway house I was staying in XXXX When I graduated and moved out I had XXXX {$100.00} money orders remaining. On XX/XX/XXXX I went to XXXX to cash them in and was only able to cash XXXX. I was given receipts denying my attemps to cash the XXXX remaining money orders. When I called the # given on the receipt the automated service gave me several reasons why I could not cash them in. First being, Lost or stolen, or counterfeit, or the date money order was purchased and date I tried to cash too long. No where on the money order or receipt states that there is an expiration date for my money order. At most XXXX to 4 months old when i just attempted to cash these in. When I finally spoke to a human I was told I had to request a refund and fill out a refund request form for each money order and would be charged {$15.00} for each refund request totaling {$45.00}. I believe I am being defrauded! I should still be able to cash these money orders. The persons I spoke to and the automated prompt confirmed when i typed in money order # ( when checking the status ) of the money order plainly stated/confirmed to me that the money orders where still valid and uncashed. I should not be swindled out of {$15.00} for each money order that are only a few months old. I should be able to cash in for total value and avoid the insulting fee and fraudulent attempt to take my hard earned money.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX  stated that I have a debt of {$1200.00} and it was first delinquent on XX/XX/XXXX. This is incorrect as I have never had a relationship or business with them nor have I ever heard of them in any form or way. I just saw it in my credit report in XXXX for the first time when I receive my credit. I was not in the US and had no credit, this is the first I ever got any credit or even a report so how could that have been me. My credit should be clear and clean as this is the first Im generating anything. I did file a dispute with Equifax but they are saying today XX/XX/XXXX the report is accurate and verified. How could it be when this is fraud and someone is using my information. 
I am requesting that is competent evidence bearing my signature showing that I have or ever had some contractual obligation to pay. This is completely false and is fraud as this is not me. This is a violation of the FCRA & FDCPA therefore it must be deleted from my credit report.

In addition there are two hard inquiries that I did not authorize and they need to be removed. It was not me, my information is being used.
