Complaint:
This letter is a formal complaint that Barclays Bank Delaware are reporting inaccurate and incomplete credit information. This is in direct violation of 15 US code 6801 as well as 15 US code 6802. Barclays Bank has not contacted me in any way informing me that they would share personal information with a third party. I do not want any personal information shared with any third parties. 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. Every step must be taken to assure the information reported is completely accurate and correct. The following information therefore needs to be re-investigated. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), you are required by federal law to verify, through the physical verification of the original signed consumer contract, any and all accounts that you post on a credit report. Otherwise anyone paying for your reporting services could fax, mail or email in a fraudulent account. I demand to see verifiable proof ( i.e. : an original consumer contract with my signature on it ) that you have on file for the account listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit. Under the FCRA, unverifiable accounts must be removed and if you are unable to provide me a copy of verifiable proof, you must remove the account listed below. I demand that the following account be verified or removed immediately : - Barclays Bank Delaware {$3300.00} I request to be provided proof of this alleged item, specifically the contract, note or other instrument bearing my wet signature. Failing that, the item must be deleted from the report as soon as possible. This information is entirely inaccurate and incomplete, and as such represents a very serious error in your reporting. Please delete this misleading information and supply a corrected credit profile to all creditors who have received a copy within the last six months, or the last two years for employment purposes. Additionally, please provide the name, address, and telephone number of each credit grantor or other subscriber. Under federal law, you have thirty ( 30 ) days to complete your investigation. Be advised that the description of the procedure used to determine the accuracy and completeness of the information is hereby requested as well, to be provided within fifteen ( 15 ) days of the completion of your investigation. In addition, please remove all non-account holding inquiries over 30 days old. Also, please add a promotional suppression to my credit file. Under federal law, you have thirty ( 30 ) days to complete your re-investigation. Be advised that the description of the procedure used to determine the accuracy and completeness of the information is hereby requested as well, to be provided within fifteen ( 15 ) days of the completion of your re-investigation. I am also seeking compensation on this matter for Barclays Bank violation of my consumer rights. I would be willing to settle out of court for half the amount that I am owed for such violation. If there is no payment made. I would like to take this matter to the courts to sue Barclays Bank for these violations. Thank you
