Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint against Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion for their continued and unlawful reporting of multiple inaccurate charge-off accounts. 

The following accounts are being falsely reported on my credit file : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  ) These tradelines are being reported as charge-offs, which is inaccurate and unverified. I have submitted formal disputes to all three credit bureaus, yet they have failed to conduct a proper reinvestigation as required under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ).

The responses I received were clearly automated template replies, showing no real review of evidence or communication with the original creditors. This practice violates FCRA 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), which mandates a reasonable reinvestigation of disputed information.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, I was the victim of a scam and wired {$9200.00} from my XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX account to a Citibank account controlled by the scammer. 

XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX contacted Citibank immediately to request a freeze of the receiving account and stop the transfer. I also personally called Citibank to report the fraud, and their representative confirmed that the account was flagged, the funds were visible, and the account had been frozen. 

According to XXXX XXXX  XXXX records, Citibank initially responded that they were trying to contact the client ( the scammer ) but received no response. XXXX XXXX  XXXX followed up multiple times and eventually sent Citibank the required hold harmless letter. 

Nearly XXXX months later, Citibank responded that the client had denied returning the funds. This is deeply concerning and appears to show that Citibank allowed a criminal account holder to determine the outcome of a fraud claim, despite the fact that the transfer was promptly reported and the funds were allegedly frozen. 

It remains unclear whether Citibank actually froze the account, whether the funds were available at the time of the initial request, or whether the account was properly investigated for fraud. If Citibank accepted any proof from the scammer to justify keeping the funds, that would constitute additional fraud, as I have never had any relationship or communication with this person. This response is unacceptable and demonstrates a complete lack of accountability, of course, a fraudster who stole funds will not voluntarily return them. Citibanks duty was to act promptly upon receiving notice of the fraudulent transaction and take action to freeze and recover the funds, as outlined by standard interbank fraud procedures.

Citibanks delay and lack of cooperation directly caused the loss of my funds. Their mishandling of the case prevented timely recovery and allowed the fraudster to retain the stolen money.

This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you -- credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within 4 business days of you receiving this complaint. I am concerned about the validity and accuracy of your recent investigation of these accounts that are reporting on my credit report. Last month I requested an investigation because I felt the item was not being reported legally. Couple of days ago I received a letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA. 

I have attached a copy of my government issued ID as well as mail showing proof of address. So, there shouldnt be any confusion or stall tactics on your end.

Complaint narrative:
- inability to use digital cards electronically at point of sale locations - inability to use funds to reload accounts - account locked ( repeatedly ) when an exchange or return occurs - transaction history appears and then disappeared - requires a phone call and going through an arduous phone tree to get to support to unlock an account after any return to the account... this is time consuming and is not posted anywhere in their FAQ - on multiple occasions, customer support has said that returns are not allowed. Upon reviewing their documentation online and they attached PDF, it does not disclose this policy. When customer support is challenged, they backtrack and say that they did not state that returns were not allowed even though it is on recorded line. Eventually, they will bring resolution to the matter after sometimes an hour on the phone and sometimes days of waiting. 

Bottom line, this company has created barriers and obstructions to using their product. It appears to be doing so, so consumers get frustrated and leave balances on their account unused because it is so difficult at times to actually use their product.
