Consumer complaint received 2020-02-07
Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: CO
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem when making payments
Sub-issue: Problem during payment process

Complaint:
I was contacted by phone by Barclay Rewards Matercard on XX/XX/2020 about a payment that was due XX/XX/2020 and was not shown as received on my account. I immediately contacted the bank through which it was paid, XXXX. They provided me written confirmation that my payment was received and cashed by Barclays within 20 minutes. I was forced to argue with Barclays for nearly a week until they would provide me with a fax number to send the voided check. That was faxed on XX/XX/2020. In the interim I have been forced to pay an increased payment to cover the money they lost due on XX/XX/2020. They have indicated that their policies allow them up to 25 business days to even investigate the missing money, then another 7-10 business days to process. I have been calling daily to request written confirmation that my money has been located and correctly applied to my account, the interest corrected and fees corrected. It is now more than 30 days since my money was lost and 5 days after I have been required to pay penalties because the bank lost money delivered and cashed ahead of the XXXX due day and I still have no written confirmation that my money has been located. I have been in contact with them on a daily basis. Every day begins with them denying that my money was lost, verbally telling me it has in fact been found and refusing to send me anything in writing indicating that the mistake has been corrected. 
I must insist on something in writing as I am now routed to collections every time I call Barclays which makes me doubt that they have located my payment yet despite having the confirmation number of the transaction and a copy of the check I cashed. 
I am attempting to resolve this as I am completing this complaint form. I am now being advised that my money hasn't actually been found despite them having a voided check since XX/XX/2020. I would like to request the CFPB listen to my telephone conversations recorded by Barclays. They have repeatedly verbally advised my payment had been found and applied and it has not in fact been. I feel as though an attempt has been made to entrap me into a second payment issue. Thankfully I no longer have any trust in this bank and have not only made the large XXXX payment that resulted from the payment Barclays lost but also begun transferring this balance to a bank I have some level of trust in.

Complaint:
On XXXX XX/XX/2023, I sent {$350.00} ( XXXX Pesos ) to a bank in the XXXX through PayPal. Of that amount, XXXX Pesos are still on hold. The bank is not withholding the money, so many ( XXXX ) attempts were made to contact PayPal to : 1. find out the reason for holding ; 2. expected fund release date.

PayPal also repeated asked to have the recipient contact PayPal -- - I was told that I may not discuss details with PayPal -- - but the recipient has already contacted PayPal without getting any responses. As a sender, I should be able to discuss the reason why the entire money has not been released to the recipient. This is a racket and they only provide scripted responses. I also repeatedly ask for the government agency that I can report the issue to. This request has been consistently ignored.

Experian is discriminating against me because I am XXXX and have been unable to work since 2015. I was retired from XXXX XXXX at that time, and despite providing documentation to Experian that I have over 30 years of positive credit history, they still refuse to acknowledge my current credit-worthiness and continue to label me as having 'insufficient credit history ' which is untrue and has prevented me from obtaining a XXXX XXXX credit card through XXXX and now I have been denied a checking account by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX which I was applying for in an attempt to obtain a secured credit card to help re-establish my good credit. Furthermore, Experian has refused my request to add a personal statement of dispute to my credit report in an attempt to explain my situation to potential creditors. This is a violation of The Fair Credit Reporting Act section 611 ( b ). I wrote to my Senator along with the US Secretary of Veteran 's Affairs and asked for their help, but Experian has refused to allow either of them to advocate for me and continues to penalyze me for my hardship. 

I can come to no other conclusion, but that Experian is refusing to acknowledge my positive credit history because I am XXXX.
