Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Old information reappears or never goes away

Complaint:
This is a general complaint on how credit reporting works. I understand if I have a 30, 60, 90, 120 day late and charge-off with a creditor that my credit should be effected in a negative manner. I can even understand my credit being impacted by selling to ONE collection agency. It seems very unfair however, that every time the debt is sold to a different collection agency my credit scored go down. If I was unable to pay the debt to the original creditor I am not going to be able to pay with all the new collection charges. My credit will NEVER recover. This takes money out of the economy. People are unable to get mortgages, cars or any other credit because of the numerous reporting of a single account. The scoring needs to change. Score the original debt and even the first collection but after that the debt should stop affecting your credit. Let them collect and go through the court process. Seems like people don't get due process on debts. A {$500.00} debt can become a lifetime anchor.

I opened a Care Credit account. I was told that no interest would be charged on promotional purchases. In XXXX this year, I was charged over {$1100.00} in interest.

I was told these purchases would be interest free. This was not true. I have paid a total of over {$4500.00} on my account, and I can not see where my payments are going. My balance is nearly {$7000.00}. I was told that the payments were credited toward " non promotional '' purchases. This is a scam! See statement below.

Sub-issue: Not given enough info to verify debt

Complaint:
I have reached out to XXXX XXXX to make a settlement on a care credit account. After multiple discussions with collection specialists, I asked for clarity on the reduced settlement amount that I was offered. XXXX refused to provide me in writing prior to making the settlement payment of {$1500.00} that this is the amount that they offered to pay. I then asked to speak with a collection manager and was told that the manager was not on duty by XXXX XXXX. Per XXXX, no letter can be sent until after payment to reflect settlement. He initially refused to allow me to speak with a manager. I was then transferred to XXXX XXXX who then admitted that he was a collections specialist and not a manager. I then transferred to XXXX XXXX who identified herself as a manager. She initially told me that following payment on my settlement, I would receive my confirmation in 7 to 10 days. She then refused to answer any further questions and transferred me back to XXXX XXXX. I am now being told that I will not receive my confirmation of payment for approximately one month. I raised the concern of paying a settlement of debt without any proof of the agreement. I was told that the call is recorded and that is sufficient enough. I am requesting XXXX XXXX provide me in writing confirmation of the agreed upon settlement. I was told I can not receive any proof of amount for settlement via fax or email.

Sub-issue: Receiving unwanted marketing/advertising

Complaint:
The website : XXXX used by the credit bureaus for marketing only allows for electronic opt-out for 5 years and a consumer must print out and mail in a form to permanently opt-out. This is ridiculous. 
A consumer should be able to permanently opt-out of marketing online, the same as you can for 5 years. Why do they even offer 5 years opt-out? It 's a scam by the credit bureaus to keep people from permanently opting out by making it more difficult and having to mail in a form. 
I do not have access to a printer at home and this is a hardship on plenty of other consumers, I am sure. 
Thank you, XXXX XXXX

Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: CO
Product: Credit card
Issue: Rewards

Complaint:
When I first got my credit card I was told that if I spent a certain amount of money that I would receive air miles, but I never received them. I called the credit card company 7 months after opening the account and spending the certain amount of money ( within 90 days ) so that I could ask how much it would be every month to pay off my balance within the next 9-12 months. The credit card company referred me to their approved credit counseling services, which I still have to call but I am not wanting to after this experience. As soon as I asked the representative about my miles she looked into my account and told me that I had to contact XXXX. She kept me on hold and then transferred me where I waited on hold yet again for probably 15-20 minutes. Upon reaching XXXX I was told by the representative at XXXX that Barclay had to upload the miles in order for me to use them? It did not make sense because the Barclay representative told me that XXXX had to load them. I again waited on hold for 20-25 minutes and talking to the XXXX robot entering my sensitive information while the XXXX rep was on three way with me. Upon reaching Barclay I was informed by the second representative that a case had been filed. The frontier rep asked Barclay how long it would take to upload the miles and the Barclay rep said it would be uploaded after two billing cycles? Funny how they do n't tell you to call to get your miles uploaded and yet they also play this transfer of calls with their customers. The Barclay rep could have told me the info on the first call. I 'm paying this card off, using my miles and not using this card again.
