Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: NY
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge 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:
On XX/XX/2021, I filed a fraud claim for {$1400.00} charged to my XXXX with the bank, Barclays. This was related to an incident through a vendor, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

My card was canceled and I immediately received a new card to prevent further theft. I promptly wrote a review of this vendor/company on the XXXX XXXX XXXX website and XXXX to warn other potential victims. 

Barclays stated that it was investigating this dispute. I called many times in XXXX and XXXX to inquire about progress, but those conversations with Barclays representatives were meaningless and fruitless. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a letter from Barclays stating that the charge was added back to my statement and that it was valid. 

I received no product nor any service for the transaction of {$1400.00} on my credit card. 
A salesman that I called from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX came to my home briefly ( less than 5 minutes ) on XX/XX/XXXX. He charged my credit card {$1400.00} for a new dishwasher that was never delivered. 
I called the vendor and was able to reach him once in late XXXX after the dishwasher was not delivered he suggested that he may be able to bring me " some cash. '' I refused and insisted that he provide me with a credit for the full amount on my Barclays card. 
This charge was never credited to my card by the vendor. 
I have made attempts to resolve this directly with the vendor but he has disappeared. The numbers on the business card do not work ; there is no address, and our research to locate him on the internet have yielded nothing. 
No investigator from Barclays ever spoke to me or my wife regarding this claim, to " investigate '' as we were told. 
Barclays has provided NO CUSTOMER PROTECTION whatsoever.

XX/XX/XXXX manager called and said unless I have the email link they would not help me. I deleted the email after I got approved for the card.

Can you help or tell me what other course of action I have. Never have I ever had to save a link for a Promotion!!!!

Company: NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE LLC
State: IL
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional adjustable mortgage (ARM)
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint:
In addition to reporting us to the XXXX credit bureaus, refusing to help us by acknoweledging our hardship due to the unforseen circumstances regarding job loss and devastating illness, and erroneously stating that we are two months behind on our mortgage when in fact-we are one month behind -- -- Nationstar has added at least fifteen late payment fees to our account. Each fee is $ XXXX-which -as of today would total an extra {$1100.00} on top of what we currently owe. How does Nationstar think that we can afford to pay these exorbidant late fees when we are struggling to make our mortgage payments -- specifically the payment that is one month behind -- that Nationstar continuously adds the {$75.00} per month late charge to? Nationstar staunchly defends it 's mercenary actions of gauging and blatantly disrespecting its customers by spouting company policy. They say they are there to help, but the only help that is offered would serve only Nationstar -- and not the consumer. I understand why Nationstar has earned it 's publicly documented " XXXX '' rating with the XXXX.

Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
Grain technology has been incorrectly reporting to XXXX for several months now that I am not only over 120 days but that I owe them {$160.00}. This account was paid in FULL in XXXX of this year. They are stating that they submitted a manual update to XXXX on XX/XX/ but as of today XXXX is still reporting money owed. This has impacted me negatively Grain technology refuses to correct the problem as they have already updated the information and have advised me that I need to correct the problem myself. Credit bureaus report information furnished to them as its furnished to them so if they are reporting false information thats because thats what they have. Also credit bureaus dont accept information from consumers but from creditors, collection agencies, etc. so my only option at this point is to wait for it to age off my report and be removed at that time. I thought by law information had to be correct.

Company: NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE LLC
State: IL
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional adjustable mortgage (ARM)
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint:
In Nationstar 's response to my complaints to the CFPB, they cited repayment plans offered to us on XXXX, and XXXX. The XXXX 2014 plan split the one month that we were behind into XXXX payments of {$1100.00} to be added to our regular mortgage payment of {$2300.00} for a total of {$3500.00} for two months. The XXXX 2014 plan was to split the one month behind into XXXX payments of {$760.00} to be added to our regular payment which would have resulted in XXXX payments of {$3100.00}. In my first complaint to the CFPB, case number XXXX, I stated that " The only plans Nationstar offered were plans that we could not afford. However, in their response to me and the CFPB, Nationstar invoked said unaffordable plans in an attempt to defend their stance that they had offered assistance to us, when in reality they offered nothing. At the end of the aforementioned response that Nationstar sent, a telephone number was included for " XXXX XXXX '' from the " XXXX ''. ( XXXX ) My husband attempted to call this " person '', from Nationstar 's home office in " Texas '', and was re-directed to the XXXX. This is always the case with Nationstar. Whenever we attempt to contact them we are connected to the XXXX, and more often than not -- we are forced to speak with people who are -- for the most part -- unintelligeble to due their thick accents. When asked this morning to be connected to " XXXX XXXX '', we were told that no such person nor extension existed -- however we could be helped by the agent who answered the phone. When we asked the agent what office he was speaking to us from, he stated that it was an " offshore location ''. We asked which offshore country? He evaded our question for as long as he could before he finally admitted he was speaking to us from the XXXX. Again -- MUCH, MUCH MORE OFTEN THAN NOT, THIS IS THE CASE. We like thousands of others across the XXXX -- based on what we have read in the newspapers and on the internet -- think that the Texas address for Nationstar is a shill for the real headquarters, which we believe is in the XXXX. If this is the case -- ours, as well as thousands of other American mortgages -- are in the hands of a foreign country. Perhaps this is the reason Nationstar is unwilling to assist its American customers. To deny us assistance in making our mortage payments more affordable, it serves -- in the long run -- to further weaken the American economy.
