Citibank Debt Collection Complaint

Credit card Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed debt was paid

Citibank Debt collection department,

Credit card Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed Debt was paid California

This concerns a settlement agreement between Citibank and me on - -, 2015 for the Best Buy Master Card ending in -. I had a balance of $440.00. CitiCards/Citibank agreed to the settlement amount of $280.00 to be paid by -/-/15. I was told that if I needed to make changes to the original scheduled payment on - -, it would not interfere with the agreed amount settled and the account would not be a charge-off. I called before the -/-/15 to change the payment lump sum into ( - ) installment payments of $95.00 to be paid with 1-month. I was reassured from the customer representative that this account would not be a charge-off and would show as being paid in full in my credit reports. I requested that this new payment schedule be in writing. I never did receive a letter of confirmation. I called again to request a confirmation letter and was told that I did not need to worry that my account would be updated after the last payment of $95.00 was received. Here is the schedule of when the payments were taken out of my checking account:- - check # - - $ - -


I was given the incorrect information on how to appropriately handle the payment plan that I agreed to. Please advise if this account is indeed settled with no more collection activity and not charged-off as I was told. I want to make sure that this account will not show up with the - credit bureaus as being a charge-off. I have called the - Department at - several times and none of the customer service representatives can not seem to answer my questions and concerns. I have checked my credit reports with the - bureaus and indeed have found that Citicards/Citibank has reported this as a charge-off. I was contacted by a collection agency about the remaining balance of $150.00 that Citicards removed due to the settlement. I feel that I was informed by CitiCards/Citibank in regards to my settlement. I 've attached the letter confirming the settlement between Citibank and me, the letter I sent them about the charge-off concern and the letter from the collection agency.
