Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: FL
Product: Credit card
Issue: Balance transfer

Complaint:
In XX/XX/XXXX XXXX discontinued its credit card affiliation with XXXX and moved it to Barclay. First we pay all credit cards in full each month. When the conversion took place there was no balance due XXXX, however we did have a disputed item for a medical bill with XXXX for {$1000.00} which we have since been reimbursed for by our health insurance provider and Barclay has been paid too. 
As of XX/XX/XXXX this matter is still not resolved and Barclay says we owe them {$3100.00} which includes interest charges. For one year I have asked for details and NONE received, I have written directly to The Office of the President and they have not resolved the problem. I have tried almost 20 times to get this matter resolved!!!!!!!! 
In the mean our credit rating has dropped several points. 
How can you help?

Company: Genesis Lending
State: FL
Product: Student loan
Sub-product: Non-federal student loan
Issue: Can't repay my loan
Sub-issue: Can't decrease my monthly payments

Complaint:
I have attended XXXX, XXXX University, XXXX and XXXX colleges since XX/XX/XXXX. I graduated in XX/XX/XXXX with a XXXX 's degree in XXXX XXXX. However, initially I was told through financial aid that i was not able to take more than XXXX XXXX because I did not qualify. After 7 long and tedious years, they told me i could have paid an extra {$500.00} a XXXX and taken XXXX classes instead of XXXX. With this new information, I complained to financial aid and my student coordinator ( which by the way this time i had already gone through about XXXX ). During this time I accrued not only an overwhelming amount of Federal loans because of these predatory practices however, I also had to take out private Genesis lending fans because federal loans covered nothing. Now here I am graduated, with XXXX Genesis loans that equal to about {$1400.00} in monthly payments alone!!! The only job offer I have received is a job that pays {$10.00} an hour from the state which obviously is a no brainer because there is no way to cover these loans on {$10.00} an hour. Please tell me what recourse is available to help me get out of this drowning debt.

Issue: Unable to get your credit report or credit score
Sub-issue: Problem getting your free annual credit report

Complaint:
REQUEST FOR FREE ANNUAL CREDIT REPORT!!!

I believe that each consumer reporting agency has invalidated the true spirit of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act. The Act first established XX/XX/2003 was intended to establish a plan whereas common American citizens could obtain a copy of their credit reports at least once a year free of charge. Since each credit reporting agency now has marketing divisions such as XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX, the automation system to obtain the free annual reports is looped into an information request to steer citizens into additional product offers that are excessive and unnecessary. Even though I may have received an approval of an updated credit report from either XXXX, XXXX XXXX or Equifax respectively, it is unfair that I need to do a mail request since I can submit my personal information through the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) portal. I believe that since the CFPB is the sole responsible oversight party of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, its imperative that any additional solicitation of information from the credit bureaus should be blocked permanently. I along with any other citizen should receive a free credit report upon request. The credit reporting agencies are an important aspect of the national banking system to properly function, but the current aggressive marketing campaign soliciting citizens for an arbitrary FICO score has gone too far, including but not limited to XXXX XXXX. We must return to a common ground that is fair for all consumers in the United States, and we must be able to request additional marketing on our own terms. Accordingly, I am making a request for a free credit report with confirmation number to my attached email address. Thank you.

Complaint:
In the month of XXXX, I submitted a dispute to Equifax in regards to a fraudulent items on my consumer credit report but only did I not hear back in regards to an update towards my dispute when contacting Equifax they stated that they had no information despite the fact of receiving my dispute via USPS mail certified. I am a victim of identity theft and this blatant disregard to my due process via the FCRA section 605B, included in my dispute over the fraudulent items was the following a copy of my current drivers license a copy, my official Social Security card, a copy of my current utility bill establishing identity and address as well as a copy of my FTC identity fraud affidavit. It is damaging enough to have been a victim of a data breach by one of the bureaus Equifax yet now that same Bureau is not acknowledging my dispute towards items they expose me of.

Company: ARVEST BANK GROUP, INC.
State: DC
Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional fixed mortgage
Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Complaint:
I changed primary bank accounts and was trying to update my automatic billing with Central Mortgage Company from the old account to the new account. There is no information about how to do this on their website ( there is almost no information on their website ). I tried calling their phone number and it was hard to every reach a person - there is no operator and automatic call system does n't cover automatic billing changes. Eventually, it took over 55 minutes to on hold to reach a person. That person told me to send my request along with my new bank account information over the " contact us '' form on their website. I was concerned because it did n't seem secure, but I did it any way. Central Mortgage Company never changed my automatic billing information, and the next month, my old account was overdrawn when the company charged for my mortgage. I called Central Mortgage Company again, and after 35 minutes on hold, I talked to a rude employee who emailed me a change of information for automatic billing. Because there is no easy way to be in contact with this company, I have no way of knowing if they will change my billing information or simply overdraft my old account again.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NY
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Was not notified of investigation status or results

Complaint:
I've been with XXXX XXXX XXXX for approximately three years, having paid roughly {$2600.00} throughout that period with, only 45 % of my negative information removed in a timely fashion. Presently, I am investigating the depth and nature of the work completed on my case. From XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX paralegals informed me that TransUnion, XXXX, and XXXX  ( the entities that are the subjects of contention in this complaint ) provided responses that consisted of the descriptions " verified '' or " is verifiable. '' These terms merely constitute as semantics and do not provide substantive evidence to me, as the consumer, that the reporting of these items are accurate and valid. The credit bureaus, TransUnion, XXXX, and XXXX, have repetitively refused to identify the parties that verified the negative listings, nor have they produced to me in writing, the name and contact information of the creditors or courts reporting the listings. This negligence has led to considerable damage and challenges in securing lines of credit from creditors, qualifying for apartments, and other necessities. On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent to each one of the credit bureaus a formal request in writing and, with my signature, a request to be provided with specific information concerning the creditors or courts they claim to have substantiated the listings. XXXX  refuses to dispute the items in question again, despite the insufficient information they've disclosed on my credit reports and no formal letter received outlining the findings of their investigation. I am requesting that all three credit bureaus comply with providing the information I am requesting per the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. 1681. By this law, if the credit bureaus can not produce the names of the entities and contact  information to the affected consumer, then the credit bureaus are responsible for removing the disputed listings. In addition, I have a right to sue and seek damages if ( 1 ) details pertaining to the validity of the listings can not either be disclosed in writing to the affected consumer ( me ) or ( 2 ) the bureaus insist on using semantics as a disparaging way of discouraging the responsibility of the consumer ( me ) to exercise ( his ) right to ensure that all reporting is in compliance with Federal laws and regulations.

Sub-issue: Personal information incorrect

Complaint:
In the beginning of XX/XX/2022 I started receiving several emails and phone calls that I had been per-approved for loans and vehicle purchases, I have been trying to apply for a personal installment loan and I have been denied numerous of times until I was redeittef to a company to verify my identity, thats when I was informed that my social security was locked do to suspicious activity ... possibly identity theft so my social security account has been locked do suspicious activity, I also received a phone call from the social security administrator advising me that my social security number was being locked due to suspicion. So on XX/XX/2022, I pulled a copy of my credit report on Experian and noticed that I had multiply loan accounts opened with I never got.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: NC
Product: Credit card
Issue: Identity theft / Fraud / Embezzlement

Complaint:
Early in XXXX 2015, the XXXX or XXXX we received a call from XXXX that they had a question about an order placed by XXXX XXXX requiring XXXX packages and charged to our PayPal ( XXXX Bank ) credit card. We immediately informed the caller that we never placed the order and an email address provided by the buyer XXXXXXXXXXXX ' was not XXXX of ours. The caller from XXXX said she would issue an order to stop the shipments. We immediately called the credit card bank through PayPal and the card was cancelled and told a new XXXX will be issued. They noted our complaint of card fraud and said they would investigate. This was a representative in XXXX. 
We received a letter dated XXXX, 2015 from XXXX bank, a copy enclosed, stating they did not find any unauthorized purchases and this is after we identified these fraudulent charges to both XXXX and PayPal. 
Recently when time permitted we again contacted XXXX who confirmed the XXXX of the shipments were intercepted before delivery and returned, but XXXX shipped XXXX by XXXX. shipped on XXXX XXXX, 2015, even though already reported fraudulent, and delivered via rerouting request to an address in Texas. Tracking information from UPS and XXXX confirms this. A report of this fraudulent activity has been submitted to the XXXX, NC police department. 
We are concerned with the lack of assistance from PayPal to investigate properly and help to identify the criminals involved. They have apparently decided it was not their responsibilty to assist to get these charges removed. I believe the PayPal response to our report falls into an area of non ethical or even dishonest business practice. 
XXXX has removed and charged back the charges and will further investigate the address of the recipient of the fraudulent merchandise order. 
We have cancelled this credit card and resolve not to deal with this company-bank any longer.

Issue: Cont'd attempts collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not mine

Complaint:
XXXX XXXX XXXX is trying to collect {$130.00} from me for a termination fee on a mini iPad. I have my receipts given at time of. Sale that clearly show termination fee of {$0.00}. About six hours after the purchase, I received a new contract via email that I did not agree to. This new contract contains a termination fee and my signature is forged on the contract and it 's clearly not mine. I went to XXXX and they told XXXX XXXX XXXX that I did not owe the fee but XXXX XXXX XXXX has pursued me for it. They have now turned it over to a collection agency to collect. The collection company is Prince-PARKER & Associates, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, NC XXXX. This company notified me by mail on XXXX XXXX, 2016. I replied on XXXX XXXX, 2016 stating that I do not owe this debt and included the receipts showing that I do not owe. Since then I have emailed them 5 times asking for proof of the debt and included my receipts. They have never replied to me as of this date. I believe they are in violation of Debt Collection laws as they will not respond to me, they will not supply proof that I owe the debt, they will not do anything. Today I called them and was given the excuse that they sent my paperwork back to XXXX XXXX XXXX and waiting for a response from them. That is not the way the law governing collection works. Today they also told me that XXXX XXXX XXXX says I owe the debt and will be " coming after me ''. They were quite nasty and threatening to me, a XXXX person XXXX. They told me they would come to my home in a very threatening manner. 
I pay all my bills on time and currently have a credit score of XXXX. I told them if they damage my credit I will sue they. I was told that they wo n't damage my credit but they will DESTROY it!! I classify this as harassment, again a violation of the law. PLEASE USE THIS AS AN OFFICIAL COMPLAINT AGAINST THIS DEBTOR COLLECTOR. I have never had a debt collection letter in my life but I 'm not going to pay something that I do not owe.
