State: AZ
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

Complaint:
I just got a copy of my credit report and noticed some inquiries that I have no knowledge of or give consent to. According to Section 604 of the FCRA, would you kindly provide me with permissible purpose, proof that I initiated these inquiries, and written authorization for all inquiries listed on my credit report? If you have NO PROOF, I demand immediate deletion from my credit report.

I have contacted the below creditor and they apparently have NO proof I have initiated such inquiries, nor written authorization, and have failed to provide a permissible purpose. Since, they do not have my authorization, written or verbal I am asking you to kindly DELETE these inquiries from my credit report immediately as there is absolutely no evidence of my authorization, nor permissible purpose.

According to my research, under Section 604. Permissible Purposes of Consumer Reports 15 U.S.C. 1681b ( a ) In general. Subject to subsection ( c ), any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : ( F ) otherwise has a legitimate business need for the information ( i ) in connection with a business transaction that is initiated by the consumer.

If, after any reinvestigation under paragraph ( 1 ) of any information disputed by a consumer, an item of the information is found to be inaccurate or incomplete or can not be verified, the consumer reporting agency shall ( i ) promptly delete.

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:
I originally had a mortgage through XXXXXXXX XXXX  which was never paid late. Then on XX/XX/2018 I was shot which I was in XXXX  in the hospital for over a month. This caused me to have a hardship and have to put my payment on forbearance/dererment. The loan was transferred to XXXXXXXX XXXX  and then to XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX rejected our application to be on deferment. And instead of adding all the late payments to the end of the loan they marked late payments all across all three mortgage companies. By the time it was transferred it left negative late payment remarks on my XXXX, XXXX and XXXX credit reports as late payments past 120 days. XXXXXXXX XXXX apologized and removed the late payments. But XXXX and XXXX have not. We have hired credit repair companies for the last two years. We have messaged and called each credit bureau and mortgage company to try and get these removed but have had no luck. We are ready to move past this incident and be able to buy or build our dream home but can't with this on my credit report.

Complaint:
The XXXX XXXX XXXX advertises you earn 2x points at Restaurants. I charged {$150.00} at XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX, FL on XX/XX/2020. I was only awarded 1x points and not 2x as promised. Other restaurants on my statement have earned 2x but this one has not. At {$150.00} I should be entitled XXXX  points instead of the XXXX  points. 

Terms of the program state " Purchases must be submitted by merchants using the merchant category codes for purchases in the above specified categories to qualify for the additional XXXX  points. Barclays and XXXX are not responsible for incorrectly coded purchases. '' However, the billing statement, the merchant is classified as " XXXX XXXX - XXXX  '' with a " doing business as '' a restaurant. This is probably happing with many other customers. The merchant had submitted as a Restaurant. This blanket disclosure should not be a scapegoat in Barclaycards responsibility to reasonably fulfill their accelerated points offers and should be challenged by the CFPB for UDAAP concerns during their next exam of marketing and fulfillment.
