Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: MO
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Trouble using your card
Sub-issue: Can't use card to make purchases

Complaint:
I applied and was approved for the Barclaycard Arrival+ credit card on XX/XX/2019. I've been using the card normally and paying off my balance in full every month. Since then, I also opened several new credit accounts for various spending bonuses, given that I had lots of large upcoming purchases for my wedding. However, Barclay 's then closed my Arrival+ credit card without my permission on XX/XX/2019, citing that I have too many new accounts and inquiries on my credit report. I called Barclay 's on XX/XX/2019 and again on XX/XX/2019 trying to explain that my new accounts were due to large expenses but had also been completely paid off in full. Barclay 's still refused to reinstate my account, and will not allow me to redeem my earned miles at their full value : XXXX cents per point. Instead, they will only allow me to redeem my miles for half of the full value, and refuse to allow me to reopen my account, even though I stated I was happy to have a lower credit limit. 

I have been more than willing to discuss my case but I have been extremely disappointed by Barclay 's being unable to listen and unwilling to allow me to redeem my miles at their full value. I hope someone who is able to help will contact me but I have not had any success contacting anyone capable on my own.

Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Getting a credit card
Sub-issue: Application denied

Complaint:
On or about XXXX I applied for a Sams Club Credit Card ( Serviced by Synchrony Bank XXXX and was denied for the reason " Could not verify Identity '' via email - I called the toll-free number as directed and after several long holds, disconnections, and more I was told I would be mailed a letter that would explain. To date, I have yet to receive a letter. Frustrated, I reached out the Office of the CEO and was contacted by a XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX said she would research my application and get back to me. 
Today, XX/XX/22, she called me and told me her fraud department could not provide any further information. She told me I should try to reapply in person. I asked her how long I should wait, and she said, 30 days. I called the toll-free number and was told I must wait 90 days. 
My complaint is that I am unfairly being denied credit due to a fraud reason no person at Synchrony can explain and, I have offered to go to a XXXX XXXX XXXX to verify my identity or to mail/fax/email a copy of my ID including a passport. 
My credit history is flawless, and I have scores at or above 800 on all three repositories. I was told that my application was denied and that I have no recourse. This is unfair and discriminatory as I have gone above and beyond to resolve this. 
XXXX XXXX admitted this is a flaw in their system however offered no resolution to me other that than the apply in 30 days suggestion which thankfully I called to verify just to find out she was wrong.

Company: CITIBANK, N.A.
State: IL
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:
I rented a car and paid with my credit card. Merchant lied to my face at the desk, saying a certain insurance was required by Nevada law and would not allow me to rent car without purchasing. After it became apparent that was a lie, merchant ( and Citi ) say I signed the paperwork so any prior fraud is not relevant. I disagree, as fraud is not a contractual remedy and the contact is in fact invalid if induced by fraud. Citi refuses to even engage on this premise and just keeps sending me the same stock letter with a scan of the rental agreement ignoring the entire premise of my dispute.

In one letter, Citi even endorses the bad behavior of the merchant and says " discerning the merchant 's integrity '' is my problem and not something they deal with. I disagree - one of the main premises of a credit card is that you are protected from fraud and improper behavior of the merchant. It is gross that Citi endorses this behavior to such an extent that they even refuse to get a response from the merchant that is applicable to the dispute.

Complaint:
I Contacted all 3 credit bureaus by phone ; I notified them of the wrong addresses and inquires reporting on my credit report. The representative changed my address but couldn't change one because a business was listed under the address ( not my business or my address ). She corrected the addresses she could but stated I would have to contact each individual business who placed a inquiry on my report. This is a lot of work for something I did not authorize. I have place fraud alert on my report so this will not happen in the further.

Company: NPAS, Inc.

Sub-product: Medical debt
Issue: False statements or representation
Sub-issue: Attempted to collect wrong amount

Complaint:
This is for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX acct # XXXX. Their billing service is NPAS, Inc., XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, KY XXXX. 

The paper bill sent to me was for {$250.00}. I made, and can verify through my bank and with the NPAS confirmation #, that I made two payments in succession and the amounts were withdrawn from my checking account. Payments were made through their online portal : www.sphp.com/online-payment Payment 1 made XX/XX/XXXX and withdrawn from XXXX account on XX/XX/XXXX : {$50.00}. NPAS confimation # XXXX. 
Payment 2 made XX/XX/XXXX and withdrawn from XXXX account on XX/XX/XXXX : {$50.00}. NPAS confirmation # XXXX Note that NPAS DOES NOT have any way for consumers to check their balances against their crediting payments. 

On XX/XX/XXXX I received a collection notice from a debt collector : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX, NY XXXX XXXX ) for the above account number. That collection notice they sent was for {$240.00}, an erroneous sum sent to them by NPAS. 
I tried to contact XXXX XXXX 's XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX and was put on hold for nearly 45 minutes only to discover that their phone lines were down. I called again the following day, XXXX, and was sent to the Collections person, " XXXX '' or " XXXX '', and left a voice message. No return call. I called again today on XXXX and someone in the Central Billing Office told me to pay {$150.00} and that the debt collector had added over {$100.00} in fees, which is a lie. I was again put through to the Collections Office voice mail. The Central Billing person told me that accounts are automatically sent to collections after 4 months even if you are making payments. There is nothing on the NPAS website that tell you that and nothing in the XXXX XXXX 's billing information that tells you that either. 

I called the debt collector, XXXX, etc. ) and was told they could only see that I had one payment on XX/XX/XXXX and there was no evidence I had made the XX/XX/XXXX payment despite my having multiple confirmations from my bank and the NPAS payment portal generated confirmation number. The person I spoke to at XXXX, etc. told me I owed {$190.00}, which is also inaccurate. Yet they were billing me for {$240.00}. I asked if this would go onto my credit file while I was trying to resolve this and she said " maybe. '' I tried to call NPAS and went through their automated system multiple times and was hung up on each time. The message said that the debt had gone to collections and then there was a hang up. 

I have called the hospital to file a complaint against their billing practices. I owe {$140.00} and want to pay that but I am being forced to pay {$190.00} instead. This has to be illegal practice and I really need your help. Thank you.

This company has constantly failed to provide proof of debt even after my attorney has requested it. I have also requested that they validate this debt and they have failed to do so. I have been suffering from the re aging of the debt which has been changed on my credit reports multiple times. They failed to respond to attorney letters sent out. I have proof which will be shown in this complaint. This company is very unfair and they have been committing fraud against consumers. As a consumer I requested to have this debt validated and all of the requests to no avail. In addition to my personal attempts to have this fraudulent company provide proof, My lawyer attempted on XX/XX/22 and again on XX/XX/22 to resolve this and the company is still violating my rights as a consumer. They have failed repeatedly to validate this debt within the 30days allowed by law and beyond.

Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX, i was informed by my mortgage servicing company, Loancare LLC, that they needed proof of my homeowners insurance or they would purchase a policy for {$4300.00}. This is how I found out that my policy hade been canceled on XX/XX/XXXX by my insurance carrier. I immediately obtained a new policy that started on XX/XX/XXXX and it is currently in place and they have the proof required. However, they are now going to charge me {$4300.00} for that lapsed time period. The policy lapsed XX/XX/XXXX. 
I did not receive notice of the lapse from my insurance carrier, my agent or the mortgage company. 
Per legal statute : The servicer must send the first notice at least 45 days before purchasing a force-placed insurance policy. The servicer must then send a second noticea reminder noticeno earlier than 30 days after the first notice and at least 15 days before charging the borrower for force-placed insurance coverage. This notice must include the cost of the force-placed insurance or a reasonable estimate of the cost. ( 12 C.F.R. 1024.37 ). 
They just sent a notice on XX/XX/XXXX. They did not send any notice during XXXX timeframe. I did not receive a notice of cancellation from the insurance company as the policy had the wrong address. I am not even sure why it was cancelled as the premium was paid.

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

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2020 I sent a letter re : inaccurate and unknown things on my credit report. It has been over 30 days and I have not received a response yet. I feel like I am being ignored and taken advantage of regarding my disputes. Section 611 ( a ) clearly states that a failure to investigate these items within 30 days gives reason to immediately remove those items from my credit report. It has been over 60 days so they should be promptly deleted. This has really caused me a lot of stress and strain and I demand that these accounts be deleted immediately or I will file for litigation. My information was also impacted by the Equifax data breach and may have gotten into the hands of the wrong person.
