Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: AZ
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Advertising and marketing, including promotional offers
Sub-issue: Didn't receive advertised or promotional terms

Complaint:
In XX/XX/2020, my account balance was {$0.00}. I responded to an ad for a balance transfer with 0 % interest and 3 % balance transfer fee. I transfered {$5000.00}. When my recent statement came ( XX/XX/20 ), I was charged a {$150.00} balance transfer fee AND {$73.00} interest ( see attached image ). I phoned the credit card company and they agreed that there was a problem. Somehow, even though I responded to a 0 % interest balance transfer fee offer and used the balance transfer mechanism on their website, I'm nonetheless being wrongfully charged interest and the balance transfer is not registered as a balance transfer on my account. 

A case was opened on XX/XX/20 and I was told it would be resolved in 1-2 business days during the regular business week. However, today it's XX/XX/20 and there is no activity ad progress on my case. Meanwhile, the account is accruing DAILY INTEREST! 

I've been on hold for more than 60 minutes with the bank and no one is coming on the line to resolve this issue. The case # is : XXXX. The representative who opeend the case was XXXX XXXX. 

I want the daily interest to be refunded IMMEDIATELY and the  proper deal applied to my account. I have a screenshot of the deal that I will send or upload on request. Thank you.

Complaint:
XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX I experienced credit card theft. I alerted First Progress of this event and they removed their late fees and the fraudulent charges associated with the theft. However, they never updated my credit report as they stated they would in this type of situation. I was told that the back office sends this information to the credit bureaus when theft occurs. It's been over a year and it's still showing. On several occasions I have requested that this information be updated with the credit bureaus to remove the false late payment they have reported. Per their instructions I have written, mailed, and faxed my request. I was told the fax was never recieved, even though I have the confirmation that it went through successfully. Their customer service representatives are very rude and unhelpful. I need assistance removing this late payment off my reports bc it's severely affecting my credit rating. I have made every effort to have this corrected. Additionally, I paid the false charges to ensure I didn't recieve a second late payment charge. I've been told that the overpayment was refunded ; however, I haven't recieved it and advised them of such. They stated it was never returned and to request the payment again. I have sent that request as well and haven't recieved my refund. Please assist me with this matter.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: TX
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Managing an account
Sub-issue: Deposits and withdrawals

Complaint:
Bank of America placed a hold on the entirety of all funds deposited in one of my accounts. The account in question is a fiduciary account used to manage funds received from the VA for the benefit of my father. The VA designated me as the fiduciary for my father due to his inability to manage his affairs caused by XXXX  XXXX. 

The bank froze the entire account after my father passed away. When I called to inquire about the freeze on the funds in the account, the bank advised me that they require me to provide a death certificate for my father. I did so, but the bank is still withholding the funds. I discussed this matter with a representative from the VA fiduciary hub. They provided me a letter requesting that the bank release the funds. I also provided this letter to the bank, but the bank has still not released the funds. 

I have tried to reach the appropriate department of the bank to have them release the funds, but I have not been able to do so. It is unclear to me what legal authority the bank has to withhold funds that do not belong to the bank. The management of funds in this account are a matter between the VA and me. 

So, I am seeking a release of the funds. Furthermore, if the bank does not have the authority to withhold funds that do not belong to the bank, I am asking that appropriate disciplinary measures be taken against the bank.

I would like to attach letter I have written to XXXX  on XX/XX/XXXX in regarding in the letter written to them. 

Also in trying to communicate with any of the big three : XXXX, Trans-Union and XXXX  are very difficult to get in contact with be it by phone ( they don't answer the phone as a rule ), or by mail, as they don't like to reply even if you send them certified mail. 

They could really care less about the general public, and have been given the green light to slander and defame anyone they chose with NO accountability to anyone. 

If you do go through what ever to try to correct or to update your file as they have it, they will insist you spend hundreds of dollars again and again to join whatever service they might have, to correct what they have published that is incorrect. 

LIKE IT WAS MY FAULT THAT THEY ARE PUBLISHING INCORRECT ITEMS.
