Complaint narrative:
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 XXXX XXXX  credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a stall tactic on your part to XXXX you an additional XXXX 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. I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint against XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  and its servicer XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX for reporting a XXXX late payment on my mortgage account without providing proper and verifiable notice, in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act ( RESPA ). 

On my credit report, a XXXX delinquency was reported, yet I never received any written notice of intent to report this late payment. After sending a formal Notice XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, I received a generic acknowledgment letter dated XX/XX/2025, which failed to address or dispute the lack of notice prior to negative credit reporting. 

Furthermore, I was never properly notified because any alleged notice was not sent to my primary mailing address. I demand that the servicer provide documented proof of delivery, including : The address the notice was sent to The method of delivery Any proof of receipt To date, I have not received such evidence. Reporting a derogatory mark to the credit bureaus without verified delivery of notice is a clear violation of FCRA XXXX ( a ) ( XXXX ) and XXXX also breach RESPAs mortgage servicing notice requirements.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX opened a XXXX  citi card at the branch with me and assured me it was 0 % interest during the introductory promotional rate for XXXX  months. I went back on XX/XX/XXXX to bring this to her attention, and she then said " what, all our cards are XXXX percent on purchases for XXXX months '' as she recalled our conversation. We then called the XXXX  card department together from the branch where she then told the operator on a " monitored and recorded '' line that she had messed up and told me it was XXXX percent on purchases. The operator then told her that is incorrect and she also mentioned along the lines of " wait so your telling me I have been signing up clients with this card, and stating clearly false info ) She didn't realize the promotional rate was only on balance transfers. She then tried to see if the XXXX department could refund all the interest as I have now been charged hundreds of dollars ( XXXX months in ). Not only are they trying to cover all of this up, and admitted to it multiple times. Also, please keep in mind I am a XXXX XXXX and was going bank to bank to look for the best promotional rate. This contract should be void and was clear misrepresentation, but also complete incompetence on her end. She has now caused financial harm over a simple mistake, and Citibank so far has been unwilling to investigate the matter and will not allow me access to any of the notes or recordings from our call together to the operator. It is the worst display of unethical business I have seen. I should not only be owed money, I should have the promotional rate on purchases that the personal banker laid out originally. Lastly, when I went in on the XXXX, it was already XXXX months from the date I opened the card and she STILL HAD NO IDEA it was NOT XXXX percent on purchases until we called the operator together. STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS BRANCH. 

Misled, and now am dealing with significant financial harm, and should be not only the interest from standard purchases be refunded, due to the incompetence and clear misleading from the banker, the contract should be void. Willing to work with Citibank to at least just honor what the banker clearly stated multiple times. There are multiple reviews on XXXX and XXXX that speak to the same type of situations. She should not be dealing with retail customers. It's hard to tell as a consumer if this was an honest mistake on the bankers end or intentional.
