NOTICE TO AGENT IS NOTICE TO PRINCIPAL NOTICE TO PRINCIPAL IS NOTICE TO AGENT Account XXXX  XXXX I did not give XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX my consent to report my information to any non-affiliated third party. You furnished the information to the consumer reporting agencies not the other way around. Before my personal information is furnished, I was supposed to receive 3 disclosures.

Complaint:
On XXXX of XXXX I sent certified letters to XXXX for two accounts listed on my credit profile. I mentioned that both the accounts werent mine. I also mentioned that the accounts seemed to be fraudulent erroneous and I sent in documents to present to show and the account was removed but following the next couple days the accounts were listed onto my credit profile. I believe that is completely violating my rights as a consumer and that could place this company or companies in jail for consequences of breaking and violating the law. I can show you how the company violated my rights. The account was placed on my account without my acknowledgment, I wasnt contacted by XXXX, XXXX nor any collections company. I stated and sent in certified verifying documents. You have now violated my rights through the FCRA the debt buyer or CRA have failed to comply with its obligations, I am able to sue for violations of the FCRA. I will be filing a lawsuit looking to get actual damages, punitive damages, and attorneys ' fees and costs of {$1000.00} per item. This is not a threat this is malpractice and violating my rights as a consumer through the FCRA and this matter will be taken up in court. I am only an intern dispute allowing less than 3 days for this matter to be completely and permanently removed and resolved. If you attempt to continue reposting these accounts I will be sure to contact law enforcement authorities, contact my attorney generals office, file more than one lawsuit. The two accounts that were listed and dates incorrectly stating that the account was opened in XX/XX/XXXX and in XXXX of XXXX and it was recently removed. I pay close attention to my consumer report and I receive alerts on my credit file and keep up to date to assure fools like you guys arent trying to dismantle my life placing erroneous debt on my credit file to make my life a living XXXX. I will be sure to place this online so that consumers are able to view this via online. I will also be filing a complaint as well. 1. XXXX XXXX XXXXf XXXX, was changed to XXXX XXXX, 2. XXXX XXXX XXXX replaced an account onto my credit file as well. It was placed on my credit by the same collections company and that is a violations. Look at the dates it was removed and how quickly this account was placed back onto my credit profile. Well lets put it this way, this seems like a criminal act upon the credit bureaus and collections company. There was never a document sent to me to verify jack. I kindly ask for any documents bearing my signature a few months ago. Youre also violating my rights within the HIPPA laws as well.

Complaint:
Dear Sir or Madam, I have been trying to obtain reimbursement for my child care expenses from Optum Financial for the past two and half months. My attempts at appealing their decision to approve my claims, yet withhold payment, has been unsuccessful. 

My story begins on XX/XX/22 when I submitted all my child care expenses to XXXX ( Optum Financial ). I went to my child care provider 's website to generate the necessary documentation of expenses. Right at School, the provider of before and after school care for our elementary, has been the company used by the school since my kids were in kindergarten. So, I have submitted expenses and documentations for my child care spending account since kindergarten. The process is an annual routine with the only disruption being remote learning cause by the pandemic. However, this time reimbursement was delayed. I contacted the Optum via their chat and was told the documentation submitted did not have a description of service provided. The representative recommended that I fill out a claim form to address the deficiency. I did look at the suggested form and was perplexed by the form as it would necessitate the resubmission of all my claims. Then, I spoke to an Optum representative in hope of resolve the issue without having to submit the claim form. Now, I was told that I could provide a website with descriptions of services provided by Right at School. This was a much more reasonable solution to the deficiency. I submitted the website documentation on XX/XX/22. All my claims were subsequently changed to approved, processing reimbursement. Unfortunately, I have not been reimbursed for my legitimate child care expenses. Now, Optum is saying I submitted the documentation after the XX/XX/22 deadline. 

I have written XXXX to appeal their withholding of money I have designated for my legitimate child care expenses. The company has yet to respond to my appeal. I have been engaged and will continue my efforts to resolve this matter. My hope is that the CFPB can help me and other by being an advocate against corporate excesses. I will attach the list of child care expenses claims and my appeal letter to XXXX. 

Respectfully, XXXX XXXX

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2020 I sent a letter re : inaccurate and unknown things on my credit report. It has been over 60 days and I have not received a response yet. I feel like I am being ignored and taken advantage of regarding my disputes. Section 611 ( a ) clearly states that a failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives reason to immediately remove those items from my credit report. It has been over 60 days so they should be promptly deleted. This has really caused me a lot of stress and strain and I demand that these accounts be deleted immediately or I will file for litigation. My information was also impacted by the Equifax data breach and may have gotten into the hands of the wrong person.

State: GA
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: Store credit card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement
Sub-issue: Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement

Complaint:
Recently, I attempted to purchase a XXXX gift card on Target.com using the Target REDcard credit card issued by TD Bank USA N.A.. I have done this numerous times in the past with no issues. The order went through and a few minutes later I received an email indicating that the order was cancelled but did not specify why. I called XXXXD Bank ( XXXX XXXX XXXX and was told the issue was with Target.com. I was transferred to Target.com and was told that there was a glitch in the system and that it would be corrected within 15 minutes. I tried again 1 hour later and the same issued occurred. I called back and the two Target.com orders {$1400.00} were cancelled indicating a {$0.00} transaction. I was told that I needed to wait overnight for the system to clear out the transactions. It is now 3 days later and Target REDcard still shows the transactions as pending although they have been cancelled. At this time, I can not make any purchases until these items are cleared out. My total credit limit is {$2000.00} and I had a {$240.00} balance. 
I have called Target REDcard and requested an increase in my limit but they have been unable and/or unwilling to clear out the cancelled orders. This is not a major issue. I felt compelled to file a complaint due to my frustration with this issue and the customer no service provided by Target REDcard.

Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: CA
Product: Credit card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Fees or interest
Sub-issue: Problem with fees

Complaint:
I took an " XXXX XXXX '' offer that Barckay 's Old Navy card was having, to pay purchases in monthly payments at lower interest rates. I tried using it on a purchase of {$170.00} that I made on XX/XX/2023 so I made a 6-month plan. 

My statement of XX/XX/2023 came with the purchase on it, but because they didn't have an adjusted balance and it was not clear how to adjust the balance myself ( the customer service told me to calculate but by the time the payment for the whole balance was processed ), I paid the entire balance on XX/XX/2023 including the original purchase {$170.00} that I set on the plan. 

According to their wording, the {$170.00} that I paid should have paid off the " XXXX XXXX '' plan and stopped the interest. Instead, I realized on the statement of XX/XX/2023 that they are still charging interest and it appeared as if the plan was not paid. When called, they told me that they were using the {$170.00} to pay the plan in 6 months and customer service told me that they were going to remove the interest. Today XX/XX/2023 I see that the new statement has one month paid and is charging me {$2.00} for interest, and didn't return me the previous {$2.00} of interest. 

I don't think I should be paying interest on a plan that I paid in advance, that should have been paid off when I paid the whole balance on XX/XX/2023 According to Barclays : " You can pay your XXXX XXXX  XXXX  early by paying the most recent Statement Balance plus any new transactions that post to your account before your payment is received. This will pay off your statement balance, any new transactions, and any additional XXXX XXXX enrollments. If you pay off XXXX XXXX XXXX  early, you wont incur any future finance charges for these enrollments. ''
