Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem

Complaint:
First, my credit score has always been above XXXX until recently. 

I opened a Barclays XXXX XXXX Credit Card around XX/XX/2023. I applied online. I never received a credit card bill in the mail. I had made a very small amount of charges under {$150.00} on the card. 

On XX/XX/2023 I received a letter from Barlcays notifying me that I had a delinquent account that was past due and interest and other charges had been assessed. 

I called on XX/XX/2023, and they adjusted off some late fees and i made a payment in full of the revised balance of {$150.00} which included some interest. I explained the situation that I never got a bill in the mail, only this written letter of deliquent acccount. Barclay 's informed me that I had requested email bills, which I do not recall doing. However, in checking archives and spam and other emails, I find no ( 0 ) bills from this credit card company. 

The credit card number ends in XXXX with Barlays XXXX XXXX XXXX Credit Card. My social security is XXXX The credit card reported me late which I understand but that lowered my credit to XXXX, and also lowered my credit limit to {$500.00}. I wrote them a letter and appealed to them to rescind the negative reporting against me as I have never had any and have always paid by bills in full and timely, and explained not getting the bills and not signing up to my knowledge on emails and even if I had, not receiving any emails. 

I also sent a letter to XXXX XXXX regarding the same on XX/XX/2023 and notifying them I have dispute Barclays Report..

Issue: Problem with a lender or other company charging your account
Sub-issue: Transaction was not authorized

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2022, I received a text from Bank Of America stating someone was attempting to withdraw {$3500.00} out of my account through XXXX. I denied the transaction. Immediately after I received a call from Bank Of America stating, they would help me resolve the problem and get the {$3500.00} back into my account. They walked me through adding myself as a recepient on XXXX. They had all of my information already, just asked me to confirm. 

The next day I went to the bank to show the texts, calls and emails that were sent during the transaction. Everything said Bank Of America and looked legit to the XXXX, even she was shocked. They told me XXXX is it's own entity and it would be their fraud department 's decision. Even though Bank Of America endorsed them and offers their service to their customers. 

Ultimately, the claim was denied. My attempts at reversing the denial and asking for a second look at my case, went unanswered. I called several times over a months period, left messages and noe ever called me back.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
The reporting agencies continue to report my student financial information incorrectly. The account has been discharged under agreement of XXXX, XXXX. The 1099-C was accepted and processed by the IRS. Since this was a certificate of indebtedness and is considered income the reporting agencies should not be reporting this account. I have tried to get the record corrected with no success. Under the Family Educational and Privacy Act my educational records should not be shared with third parties. The reporting agencies are not ANY affiliation to any educational institution therefore they should not have my educational financial records. Any termination of a consumer credit that has a balance due over one dollar is credit to the consumer, therefore reporting this account with a balance is inaccurate reporting which is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Several of the accounts are also listed multiple times on the credit report which means this report is not accurate which federal laws states the reporting agencies MUST maintain 100 % accuracy.

Issue: Trouble during payment process
Sub-issue: Payment process

Complaint:
I made two {$1100.00} ( total {$2200.00} ) in XXXX. This was to meet my XXXX obligation. These payments have not posted. I have bank confirmation that the payments were delivered. I called today to ask why my account had not been updated. I didnt catch the persons name who provided customer service. My wait time was 1 hour and 30 minutes before anyone bothered to pick up. She alleged I had not made payment in XXXX. She alleged I had a returned payment in XXXX. My payments have been on time or paid in advance since XX/XX/2008. This has been reflected in the monthly statements published by the mortgage company. So I questioned this persons competence. I believe my payments were improperly allocated. Theyre trying to hit me with a late fee and adversely affect my credit. The customer service person refused to let me speak with a supervisor. She alleged she was going to send me my payment history. She confirmed my email address and claimed she was going to email my payment history. It has not been received. She said any payment dispute I had must be submitted in writing. When I asked for her for her name and employee ID, I was put on hold while she spoke to a supervisor. When she came back, I was supposed to be transferred to a supervisor. I was transferred to a random answering service & eventually was disconnected.

Complaint:
I have been disputing this account for some time now with VANCE AND HUFFMAN. I sent an initial dispute letter asking for verification of this account because I am not familiar with this account and they sent back documents that still do not prove that I am the owner of this account or that this debt is mine. Are they legally able to collect on the debt? How did they calculate the amount they claim I owe? How do they know I am the owner of the debt? Im curious because I have never done business with them or the original creditor. My letter was delivered on XX/XX/XXXX, and here is the tracking number XXXX. I was under the impression that if they didn't provide valid sufficient documents pertaining to this account that it would automatically deleted from my credit reports. I am sure there is a law that proves it.
