Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: CA
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Struggling to pay your bill
Sub-issue: Problem lowering your monthly payments

Complaint:
Call BarclayCard seek a hardship program, the option that they offer me did not help reduce my debt. In fact, they could not tell me how much my debt would be after I enter the program. I spoke with an agent, then the supervisor ( XXXX ) she could not either tell me the ending balance after the 12-month program. The program would closed the account and give me a reduced interest rate of 5.90 % for 12 month, after that the interest would go up again. 
XXXX offer me a program that closed the account and split the current balance in 60 monthly payment, no interest. This much more helpful, and defiantly help me avoid a bankruptcy. 
Barclays Card deceptive and misleading practices should be regulated, companies like that should not be allowed to take advantage of the public. Thank you. 
They deliberately were putting me on hold, i spent more than 30min on hold.

Complaint:
I recently discovered that I am a victim of identity theft. So I am writing to request an EXTENDED FRAUD ALERT to be immediately placed in my credit file so that no new credit will be approved or issued until the lender first verified my identity. 
Fortunately, in accordance with the FCRA Sections 605B,615 ( f ) and 623 ( a ) ( 6 ), an identity theft report can be used to permanent block fraudulent information that results from identity theft, such as accounts or addresses from appearing on a victims credit report. Identity theft reports can prevent a company from continuing to collect debts that result from identity theft. Pursuant to the FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ), please BLOCK ALL INFORMATION RESULTING FROM IDENITIY THEFT, except as otherwise provided in this section A, in which a consumer reporting agency shall block the reporting of any information in the file of a consumer identifies as information resulted from an alleged identity theft, NO LATER THAN XXXX BUSINESS DAYS after the date of receipt by agency. 
I ask that you comply with the Federal Laws in place, and swiftly and permanently block the accounts, addresses, inquiries and other information that you are reporting listed on the Identity Theft Report List of Fraudulent Accounts. I am also requesting to be mailed a new credit report to my address of record above. 


Enclosures : a. Identity Theft Report b. List of Fraudulent Accounts on my Report c. FCRA Sections 605,609,6011 d. Proof of Identity To Whom It May Concern, This letter is a formal complaint that you are reporting inaccurate information on my credit report. I am writing to dispute fraudulent accounts opened without my consent. 
I did not open these accounts, nor did I give anyone authorization to do so. I am requesting that the accounts are removed and blocked. 
I am distressed that you have included the information attached in my credit profile and that you have failed to maintain reasonable procedures in your operations to assure maximum possible accuracy in the credit reports you publish. Credit reporting laws ensure that bureaus report only 100 % accurate credit information. Every step must be taken to assure the information reported is completely accurate and correct. The attached information therefore needs to be investigated. 
I respectfully request to be provided with proof of these alleged items, specifically the contract, note or other instrument bearing my wet signature.

Complaint:
I received an alert from XXXX XXXX that my credit score dropped by 47 points on my XXXX  report. I had no major changes on my accounts ( even during the holidays ). After carefully examining, I realized that XXXX XXXX had reported me 30 days late. I called them and explained that I moved in XXXX and that I have NEVER had any issues prior to this. I admitted my mistake and requested for them to remove this information as a goodwill adjustment. They initially stated that they couldn't remove it. I asked to speak to a supervisor who initially told me the same thing, and explained that he never encountered this situation before. After twenty minutes on the phone, he suggested that I contact the credit bureau and dispute it. I questioned the validity of his information since the credit bureaus will only report what XXXX XXXX reports. The supervisor, XXXX suggested that I send the request to the credit dispute department which I did, but I did not receive any response or solution to my request. I have this account since XXXX of 2016 and I have NEVER been late. I had such a good payment track record with XXXX XXXX that I even have car financing from them.

To my knowlege I should have up to 6 deposits in checks and direct deposits every month but I have unexplained mixed up deposits of counter credit witch to my knowlege after googling it means cash deposits wich looks to me like someone hid the rest of my money one way or another and keept it from me I just found this out and would like to resolve this problem since bank of America was the only bank I had banked with and keept my money in to find out they weren't even responsible with my funds and even closed my account yearst later.
