Issue: Other fee

Complaint:
The following monthly {$2.00} charges can not be explained by Macy 's : On XXXX XXXX, 2015 I paid the balance of XXXX due on my Macy 's credit card. Since that balance, I have not purchased anything else on my Macy 's credit card. However, I received the following charges : XXXX/XXXX/15 Minimum interest charge {$2.00} ( balance due on that card {$2.00}, actual purchases {$0.00}, credit limit {$600.00} ) XXXX/XXXX/15 Minimum interest charge {$2.00} ( balance due on that card {$4.00}, actual purchases {$0.00}, credit limit {$600.00} ) XXXX/XXXX/15 Minimum interest charge {$2.00} ( balance due on that card {$6.00}, actual purchases {$0.00}, credit limit {$600.00} ) XXXX/XXXX/15 Minimum interest charge {$2.00} ( balance due on that card {$8.00}, actual purchases {$0.00}, credit limit {$100.00} - lowered without notification ) On each of the statements, it stated " Interest Charged '' as {$0.00}. However, " Purchases, Cash Adv, Fees & Other Debits '' as {$2.00}. The store would not let me use the card this holiday season and overheard another shopper with the same problem and the same {$2.00} charge. I was not aware of this {$2.00} charge and it is not explained anywhere. On the phone, I was told that it is " residual interest ''. I paid the remaining balance of {$8.00} on XXXX/XXXX/15 and closed the credit card today XXXX/XXXX/15. 
On XXXX/XXXX/15, I was told by XXXX at extension XXXX that nothing was ever reported to a credit agency and nothing will be reported to a credit agency after I close the credit card. It is only {$8.00} but I need total oversight in order to protect my credit rating from such deceptive practices. Please let me know if I can send you the statements.

Product: Credit card
Issue: Balance transfer

Complaint:
I continue to get statements from spirit credit card which FAIL TO BREAK OUT BALANCE TRANSFER. So I get a demand for payment but it does not say, this portion you will owe on XX/XX/XXXX or it will suddenly jump up from XXXX percent interest to 18.9 % .. 
THIS PORTION YOU OWE FOR CURRENT CHARGES. As an elderly person I believe this is confusing and needs clarification. And if it takes some regulations promulgated by your department to get it done so be it. 
When I called on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX to ask a Spirit representative how much is in the balance transfer suspense, she suddenly said I owe {$4000.00} when i have been receiving monthly statements for less than 1/2 of that amount as a total amount due and I never transferred more than {$2000.00}. 
then I asked her specifically what amount do I have in a suspended balance transfer account that she said is due XXXX XXXX. When she started reading me a cue card about the rate, I POLITELY asked for a supervisor. Having supervised a nationwide credit agency I know most of the tricks if they get mad or you happen to ask for a supervisor. Well the young woman said she would put a supervisor on the telephone. Instead, my phone began to loudly ring, like a phone ringing. It continued for several minutes without anyone answering the phone and of course after ten minutes or so I realized that no one was going to answer a reverse phone ring. 
So I have a XXXX part complaint. 1st, failure to divide the billing between current and suspended balance transfer, so I know how much I need to pay and when I need to pay it. It should come in monthly on my statement. And attempts to find out should not result in the " treatment. '' 2. Fraud on the part of the creditor when asking politely to speak to a manager, I got the " treatment. '' I would like CFPB to require Spirit to provide the letters they send out which should be on the monthly statement highlighting the balance transfer information a consumer receives. 
Next I would like the CFPB to review the SOP Next I would like the CFPB to review the recordings that Spirit claims its representatives are taping when on a call to myself, to see how often the call results in the " treatment. '' As former XXXX XXXX XXXX for XXXX XXXX, XXXX Texas I can tell you I personally witnessed and overheard people who the collector did not want to talk to get an extension rattled loudly in a trash can. Was I disturbed by it. Yes, yes I was. 
While Spirit ; s response is tamer, it is unacceptable. The woman merely needed to tell me that I had XXXX in suspense transfer account that had to be paid on or before a date certain in XX/XX/XXXX. She failed and refused to do so. 
Perhaps your department can remind this credit provider that it can do better. 
Thank you for your cooperation.

Complaint:
Dispute Over Inquiries on XXXX Credit Report- Unauthorized AccessI contend that all of the inquiries made by SYNCB/AMAZON on my XXXX Credit Report are unauthorized and must be removed. Credit reporting is inaccurate and incomplete. I did not give my consent to access my credit report. 

Background Identification BreachOn or about XX/XX/XXXX, I had my gym bag and contents in a locker stolen and compromised. At the time I believed that my identification had been in my purse in my car, however, this was not the case. From that date on I obtained replacement identification without knowing that I had a right to file the information with the credit reporting entities. Since XX/XX/XXXX, up through and including XX/XX/XXXX, I find that an individual in XXXX XXXX XXXX, California, may be compromising my identity. 

During these times I have found that my internet email has been inordinately littered with requests for credit card loan and merchant credit card offerings, which may or may not be normal these days, but seem unusual and suspect. 

Any internet inquiries into my credit, if any, were unauthorized by me. 

Demand to Remove Unauthorized InquiriesMy review of a recent XXXX credit report indicates that items, from XX/XX/XXXX, up through and including XX/XX/XXXX, stated above, constitute unauthorized and unlawfully accessed information in violation of state and federal law.

Complaint:
Hello, In XX/XX/XXXX, I called Bank of America because I noticed a fraudulent transaction on my account of {$87.00}. I called my bank and they were able to see this merchant " XXXX XXXX '' in XXXX has made 3 other transactions since XX/XX/XXXX. I was unable to catch on to the previous transactions because they were small amounts that I did not catch on to. Bank of America refunded me a total of {$330.00} for these charges. I did not authorize anyone in XXXX for these transactions and I was not in XXXX, nor have I been out of the country. The fraudulent transactions were for the amount of : Claim # XXXX XX/XX/XXXX : {$66.00} XX/XX/XXXX : {$77.00} XX/XX/XXXX : {$100.00} XX/XX/XXXX : {$66.00} In XXXX, I got a message from Bank of America stating that these transactions will be taken out of my account because there was a delay in reporting the fraudulent transactions. Again, I called them in XX/XX/XXXX when I saw my bank account with a charge of {$66.00}, that is when the representative notified me about the previous amounts that the merchant used my card for. My bank said in order for me to get my money back, I needed to fax in a written statement stating I did not make these charges. I faxed over my written statement and it was in the process of review. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I got a message from my bank stating my claim was denied. I called the claims department and the supervisor said there is nothing they can do and they would deduct the funds on XX/XX/XXXX out of my checking account. 

Bank of America is denying my claim of {$330.00}. I was not in XXXX and did not authorize those charges. Please help me get this resolved as I work hard for my money and these were absolutely fraudulent.

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2021 I sent a letter re : inaccurate and unknown things on my credit report. It has been over 60 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.I am distressed that you have included the information below 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. Furthermore, In accordance with The Fair Credit Reporting Act, Public law 91-506, Title VI, Section 611, Subsection A-D, please provide the names and business addresses of each individual with whom you verified the above, so that I may follow up. Every step must be taken to assure the information reported is completely accurate and correct. The following information therefore needs to be re-investigated. 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.

Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: CA
Product: Credit card
Issue: Billing disputes

Complaint:
I had a XXXX XXXX card, rarely used it, and wanted to cancel it. There was a charge of {$9.00} on the card, with no identifying information, so I assumed it was a monthly charge by Barclay 's ( XXXX ). I paid it for a couple of months, and finally called to cancel my card ( tore it up ). I thought that was the end of it. Since my call, I have continued to be billed for {$9.00}, plus interest, plus a {$35.00} Late Payment Fee EVERY MONTH SINCE XXXX 2015. I have spoken to numerous reps and reported it as fraud since I had no idea what the charge was, after confirming with the reps that it was not a XXXX charge. However, they did not give me any info on who was charging my card every month, and they told that even after closing an account, they still allow businesses to charge a person 's account. This is an outrageous and the fact that I have had to spend hours of my time while working full-time, not ever knowing who the vendor is charging me {$9.00} every month months after my closing this account is an unfair, unethical business practice on XXXX 's part. It must stop. I am now writing to the company ( on a Sunday when I should be relaxing, going to church, visiting family, and getting to work the next day ). The fraud department at XXXX has never contacted me about the results of its investigation at all. I have only spoken ( at 3x ) to customer reps and to the fraud department upon my initiation, not theirs. 

I need to be credited all the charges from the moment I called to cancel my card ( XX/XX/XXXX or XXXX 2015 ), and my credit worthiness should not be impacted by this charge.
