Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: HI
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:
Received XXXX XXXX inflight offer as I was deplaning from a flight. Applied for card on XX/XX/XXXX : terms on application stated XXXX bonus miles after spending {$1000.00}. Paper application asked for " ID number ''. Called number on application and rep offered to complete the application by phone. Approved for card. There is nothing in the welcome package that even mentions bonus miles of any kind. Called the rep the day I received the card and was assured that bonus miles offer was valid.

Fullfilled terms to earn bonus miles, later received email that I was running out of time to take advantage of bonus. Called customer service and was told terms were XXXX bonus miles if I spend {$2000.00}. I was not advised in writing or verbally at time I applied for card over the phone that terms were different than what I had on my application. New terms are not noted on approval letter received with card or the terms sheet. Customer service had me send a copy of the application by email to XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. Letter dated XX/XX/XXXX " unable to complete request '' " call number on back of card ''. Called rep, she didn't know anything. Took my info, promised call back. No call. Follow up email to XXXX  on XX/XX/XXXX. No response. XX/XX/XXXX called customer service number : told case was closed out. I received no notice by phone, email or postal mail that they had closed my claim. Asked for manager. Manager says can not help, spend more money on card to meet new terms which I still do not have in writing. Now, for the first time I'm told I should have filled out the application on the plane before I left! Manager told me they would mail the terms within 30 days ( at which point the " updated terms '' would have expired, ie no bonus miles ). He would also open investigation to find out why I was not informed of change of terms. I also requested, since they record their calls, that I hear the original call when I applied. If I misunderstood the terms by phone fine I will give up and leave them alone. Otherwise I feel I was misled and as a customer service show of good faith they should credit the bonus miles per the terms on the application.

Hi, I have sent letters to Equifax to remove the following from from my consumer report because they are not my accounts and considered to be fraud : XXXX XXXX {$6900.00} XXXX XXXX {$4600.00} XXXX XXXX 's {$420.00} XXXX Pursuant to U.S.C 15 1681a ( 3 ) Equifax assume the role to report these accounts on my consumer report and I was not contacted to report the above accounts.

Pursuant to U.S.C 15 1681a ( 4 ) There is a need that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibility of fairness, impartiality and respect for the consumer 's right to privacy.

Pursuant to U.S.C 15 1681b ( 2 ) I never instructed Equifax to create this report and I never consented to this report initially. The idea of listing the accounts without my knowledge and consent is against the law and is a violation to my consumer rights.

I went to their website under covid-19 assistance and it states the program is available until at least XXXX with a note that you cant use it for more than 12 months. 

I called to speak to someone yesterday and they told me I have no other options that to make the repayment because Ive used all other options.

I have been very proactive in reaching out before payments have been due to keep Navient informed about my situation.

Complaint:
I sense that my credit score is being manipulated and played with for no apparent reason. I personally have about 6 personal credit cards, and 2 store cards, which gives me about {$11000.00} worth of credit. Of the {$11000.00}, I might be utilizing roughly {$2300.00}. The creditors report to all 3 major credit bureaus. Equifax credit services has reported a 19 point decrease over the past 30 days when there has been little to no change within the past month or reporting period. I do not have any open collections, garnishments, bankruptcies, etc. I have paid all of my bills ( over the past 10 years ) on time with no late payments. With the exception of ONE 30 day late credit payment in XXXX. I have NO pending legal obligations, yet my credit score is still at XXXX. Just last month, Equifax had it listed at XXXX. There hasn't been any change or negative impact that should've caused a 19 point difference. My credit have been consistent for the past year with little to no change in usage or status. Let with no other alternative, I'm submitting this complaint in efforts to have this looked at a bit more closely. I have a bday of XXXX, and last XXXX of SS # is XXXX.

Complaint:
I have contacted the credit bureaus on several occasions over the duration of approximately 3 months. I have insisted that several inquiries made on my credit report between the dates of XX/XX/XXXX-XX/XX/XXXX were not authorized inquiries. I advised the credit bureau that the only inquiries that were valid during that time frame were from XXXX, otherwise known as XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. I demanded removal of said items due to them not being authorized and was informed by the bureau that I would just have to " wait the 25 months '' for them to be automatically removed. After several attempts at disputing the information, I noticed that my disputes were opened on the day of the call, and almost immediately closed before 24 hours had even lapsed. This credit bureau has not truly investigated my dispute, because if they had, they would find that these companies have no authorization from myself to obtain a copy of my credit report. The credit bureau has also stated that there is NOTHING that can be done about lenders falsely obtaining my credit report.
