CBNA shows up on your credit report – What should you do?

CBNA (Credit Bureau of North America, LLC) is a collection agency headquartered in Tennessee, USA. Though it has an A rating from the BBB, it's not a BBB (Better Business Bureau) accredited business. The acronym (CBNA) may also stand for Citibank North America. Read on to know what you should do when you're contacted by Credit Bureau of North America or Citibank North America.

What should you do if it's an old debt you haven't paid off?

If the collection agency (CA) or the bank is contacting you about an old debt, you should first check whether or not the Statute of Limitations (SOL) on that debt has expired. If it has expired, then the creditor or the CA cannot file a lawsuit against you to collect the unpaid amount. However, the creditor or CA may still use other out-of-court means to collect on the debt.

Before you make any payments to CBNA, you should negotiate with them to settle your debts if your financial situation doesn't permit you to repay the outstanding balance in full. Whatever option you choose, it is advisable that you negotiate a "Pay for delete" agreement. This means that the creditor/collection agency will remove all information on this account from your credit report(s) once you settle or pay off the debt in full. If the CA or the creditor doesn't agree to one, then at least try and negotiate for a "Settled as agreed" status on your credit report.

What if you've paid off the debt but it shows up on your report?

If you've paid off the debt but it's not reflected on your credit report as "Paid", then you should dispute it with Citibank North America or Credit Bureau of North America, LLC. You should send a dispute letter to the credit bureau asking them to correct the inaccurate listing. Or, you can contact the creditor or collection agency and ask them to co-ordinate with the bureaus on your behalf. The account should appear as "Paid" on your credit report.

What should you do if you don't owe the debt at all?

If you don't owe the debt and a collection agency is attempting to collect on it, then you should ask them to validate the debt. To do so, you should send a debt validation letter to the CA via fax or certified mail. However, if you're trying to deal with the creditor, then you must ask them to verify your account.

Sometimes you may find a listing on your credit report from a creditor when you don't have an account with them. In this situation, you need to dispute the account with the CA/creditor or the credit bureaus to get the incorrect item deleted from your credit reports.

On my monthly credit report from Amex (rated exceptional at 815) they highlighted that CBNA reduced my debt limit from $3000 to $2250. I don’t even know what that is? I only have a few credit cards and all are current. What would this CBNA change be?
Thanks Steven G

I am sending this message in regarding a hard inquiry on my credit report. It shows that someone tried to access a credit card or some other services through your company. Unfortunately it was not me. I would greatly appreciate it being taken off of my credit history report.

Equifax reported that between March 30th - April 5th, 2018 a credit Inquiry was made in my name. HOWEVER, I DIDN'T REQUEST ANY SUCH ACTION. Why did Cbna, whom I don't know, ran a credit check on me without my concent? I am NOT in agreement with this manor of conduct. I DIDN'T REQUEST NOR GIVE MY CONSENT TO DO SO.

Cbna opened an account in my name, that I didn't request nor gave consent to. I need to have my Identity restored. As of March 30th - April 5 th 2018, someone is now using a line of credit in name. How can I find out who the felon is? Carol, please, I need your help. I've called City bank and reported it, but at this time no one can help me. I'm now in touch with Equifax.

I just got a refinance done on our house. The company who refinanced for us is covering our credit card bills. There was an outstanding account to CNBA. I found out which credit card it is for, but it is an old account and I do not have the account number. What am I supposed to do

A new account from your company has been opened in my name.
I have not applied for this account so what is it about? My credit rating has dropped because of your actions. Please review and remove.
