Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: IL
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Other features, terms, or problems
Sub-issue: Problem with rewards from credit card

Complaint:
The XXXX Visa Card ( offered through Barclay 's ) for the past 2 yrs has had a 4-3-2-1 rewards category scheme with a cash back option. People have been approved for credit cards, agreeing to these terms and conditions literally up to this morning ( XX/XX/2019 ). For them to unilaterally and forcefully change the entire rewards system ( for many people less than 6M after signing up ) so that 1. the rewards categories change and 2. ( most importantly ) that there  is no longer a cash back option with no opt-out of the changes is preposterously criminal to the people that signed up for the old terms and conditions. People sign up for credit cards and agreements with the expectation that the conditions they sign up for will be respected. A company is entitled to change their conditions, but should do so for future customers and not the ones that signed up under the old conditions ( or offer an opt-out of the new changes ). For them to then change those conditions for some people less than a day after being approved is a stark abuse of power. Especially, considering the opposing consumer side is powerless to disagree because there is no opt-out option, and if the consumer were to cancel the card, their credit score will suffer causing reverberating effects. A rewards system is an integral part of the critical decision to open a credit card account ( which can have drastic effects on a consumer 's life ), and should not be subject to whimsical unilateral changes whenever a company wants. The  implications of such are obvious, enabling companies to impose drastic financial burdens on their consumers without consumer input.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Was not notified of investigation status or results

Complaint:
A few weeks ago I sent letters to all 3 credit bureaus regarding some items on my credit report which I know are not accurate which is a violation of the FCRA and FDCPA and you must abide by the law. Everything I have provided in my letters is true and accurate to my knowledge. Ive received emails and letters saying Im using a 3rd party which is incorrect because I am the one sending my letters out and filing this complaint with no help from a credit repair company or 3rd party. The CRAs are in violation of my rights due to not providing a notice of dispute and for failure to communicate to me that I disputed stuff on my credit. I request these accounts to be deleted from my credit asap or I will take legal action and hire a lawyer. I want to purchase a house soon and this holding me back. 

I would like the items I disputed in my letters to be handled accordingly based on the reasons that I put in my letters.
