Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Old information reappears or never goes away

Complaint:
I am filing this complaint to request the removal of a negative account that XXXX XXXX is reporting on my Experian, XXXX, and XXXX credit report. The account number reported on my credit report is XXXX. I called XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX, to discuss this account. I was told by the customer service representative that I could settle the account for {$200.00}. I asked him if the account would then be reflected as paid, and all negative entries would be removed from my credit report. He said not unless I paid the balance in full. I told him it was critically important that all negative information be removed from my credit report, and I agreed to pay the full balance of {$400.00}. I have attached a copy of the receipt from my bank to this letter. It has now been over one year since my payment, and XXXX XXXX is still reporting negative information on my credit report. This account was first reported to the credit bureau on XX/XX/XXXX. I have sent letters to XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX and received no response or resolution. I am requesting that XXXX XXXX delete this account from my Experian, XXXX, and XXXX credit reports immediately.

Company: AMERICA FIRST FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: UT
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Managing an account
Sub-issue: Fee problem

Complaint:
I want to formally issue a complaint about a change that America First Credit Union ( XXXX ) is making that will financially impact all of it's XXXX Checking Account members. They announced on XX/XX/2021 that they will be AUTOMATICALLY rolling EVERY checking account over to their Premium Checking account service, which comes at a {$6.00} a month fee if you do not meet their requirements to waive the fee. Some of the minimum requirements will require the account to maintain a {$1500.00} balance, have at least {$500.00} automatically deposited into the account monthly and have more than 20 transactions with their credit or debit card to waive the $ XXXX  monthly fee.

I understand that any member can call and have your Checking account moved back over to the free Checking Account, and they are also waiving the {$6.00} fee for the first 60 days, but it is NOT clear when they will roll people over, and my main concern is for ALL of the Elderly members and low income members that may NOT have access to media and will be unfairly rolled into these accounts and lose money. 
Beyond the fact that so many people will not be able to maintain these new premium standards to avoid the {$6.00} fee, members like myself that hold multiple accounts with them will now need to waste their valuable time calling into their call centers, which I'm sure will have extremely long wait times, just to make a change that should have been an OPTION not an automatic roll over. 
XXXX members should not be forced into paying a fee if they didn't get notified properly! We live in a world of spam email, and I am sure this type of notification will be easily lost by most members ( if that's even how they will notify people ). 
I was notified by XXXX  and then went over to XXXX to read more. As of this complaint I have not been notified at all by them!

Complaint:
I have been requesting the credit bureaus XXXX, Experian and XXXX to remove outdated accounts from my report now for over 5 months. This is causing major problems with my credit scores as these accounts are now outdated and outside of the Statue of Limitations for the State of Florida. I have sent several letters and copies of my credit reports to the bureaus to prove this matter and even sent these request to the collectors directly. Some have been deleted as request but a few are still reporting with no response as to why these have not been address since they are clearly outdated. There are XXXX others accounts. XXXX was already paid and still showing a balance and the other has no info on who the collector is or how I could attempt to investigate. I have requested this to be updated and asked the collectors to validate these dates as of yet, no response have been received neither from the bureaus or collectors. At this point, I don't know what else I can do to have this corrected on my reports. I read online that I can submit a complaint here as I simply have no other options. Please help me with this matter as this is causing me issues with my employer and future purchasing options. 
I thank you in advance for your assistance and response.

Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: CA
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 XXXX XXXX, a {$9000.00} charge was made to my Barclays charge card. Barclays determined the charge was fraudulent and XXXX accepted Barclays ' charge back request on XX/XX/XXXX and returned the {$9000.00} to Barclays. Unfortunately, the charge remained as a debt on my Barclays credit card and I was forced to pay it off to avoid ruining my credit. After repeated attempts to resolve the dispute, I filed a XXXX complaint on XX/XX/XXXX. As a result of that complaint, it would appear that the problem is with an interface between Barclays ' fraud and debt/credit accounting sections. 

Over the last 18 months, I have spoken with hundreds of customer service representatives/supervisors and more than three upper-level managers at Barclays ; provided documentation of XXXXXXXX 's response ; and written numerous letters requesting resolution. Barclays has assured me since XX/XX/XXXX that payment would be made to XXXX and nothing has happened. These efforts have involved more than XXXX hours of my time. Resolution of the problem by Barclays has taken so long that the only option available now is for Barclays to refund the money that I have paid and I will take care of resolving the issue with XXXX. 

I am attaching the results of the XXXX complaint and documentation of some of my interactions with Barclays and XXXX employees. I have additional documentation, including copies of several, but not all, of the letters that I have sent Barclays regarding this matter. Please respond to my email with any additional information requests you may have
