Barclays refused to give me a case number I need help urgently. I closed my Barclays card on XXXX XX/XX/XXXX. My account was in good standing and I have paid on time as you can see from my past record. As I was applying for home loan, I was told that there is late charge on my credit history and my credit score is down by XXXX points. Now I am not getting Home loan. 

I am surprised that a card that was closed in XX/XX/XXXX can be charged in XX/XX/XXXX two year later by a merchant for a new transaction. This is a clear breach of trust and miss on Barclays fraud system. This was reported to card bureau as overdue by 30 59 days without giving me sufficient notice to dispute this charge. I also got repeated calls ( at inconvenient times ) from XXXX XXXX XXXX claiming to be calling for Barclays. 

This has negatively impacted me and my family and created mental and emotional stress. I request you to a ) Please help close my Barclays Account and all cards associated with it I thought I already did this. Please ensure no merchant can charge my CLOSED card. 
b ) I request you to please get my record corrected with the Card Bureau ASAP I need my score back and have to cancel my home buying plans c ) I would also request compensation for the stress and challenges it has created for me. 
d ) I would also like you to fix the Bank system, which I am sure has impacted other customers and will continue to impact more in future.

Company: Neon Newco Corporation (TX)

I had a direct deposit from my unemployment in the amount of {$1100.00} on XX/XX/2023. Netspend allowed someone to open a digital debit card link it to my already open card with them and someone stole all my money off my card in XXXX. They allowed them to change my email and my phone number and did not call me to verify any of the information that was changed. Then when I called them to report the fraud it took me 5 times to speak with someone. They kept hanging up on me or did not understand my English. They kept repeating the wrong reason for my call. They refused to provide me with the date the card was opened and the email address and phone number that the card was liked too, so that I could file a police report. The Customer Service agents refused to let me speak to a supervisor and kept hanging up on me. I advised them that I have no money to to feed my children or pay my bills and will not give me my money back in the form of a provisional credit for 10 to 20 days. This is the same company that closed my other debit card with them for a purchase with XXXX in the amount of {$19.00} but allowed {$1100.00} to be taken out of my account in one day.

On XX/XX/2018, we received a letter from Wells Fargo Mortgage informing us that they are selling our Mortgage to another Mortgage company called XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX by XX/XX/2018. I have looked on line at reviews regarding this particular company and found many negative reviews. I am concerned because if this new company has suspect practices and motives -- in other words, they are not designed to aid people in maintaining/keeping their homes ; what choices do we have? -- if mortgage companies can choose who they finance, then why can't mortgagees decide who their mortgages are sold to? I am very concerned about my future in my home with this new company. I am a consumer what can I do? How can we be protected from predator type mortgage companies?

Looking over a credit report from Equifax, I saw that there was an address included that was incorrect. I believe I reported that to Equifax, but when I recently received a credit report from XXXX, it had the same address included as a past address. 

Both of the companies had also included a previous address that WAS correct, so I think one address was simply entered in error at some point. I just want that address deleted from all credit reports. 

The address that is incorrect is : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, WA, XXXX The correct address that both of them already include is : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

So just remove the one starting with XXXX. 

THANKS!

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC. (FL)

I was advised to file bankruptcy due to issues I had with identity theft. I called Navient after I was told by the attorney of the balance with Navient. It was around 30,000 of debt. Debt for schools I have not attended. I called Navient often and advised them that they were not mine. 
I completed their request for a police report. 3 times. I filed out their paperwork that I recvd in the mail & faced back. They denied me. I was told that various schools listed are not even open. I moved to Fl in XXXX. In XXXX my is & ss card were stolen. I explained this over & over again. When I speak to them, they continue to advise me to forebear the loan. Nothing is happening. The balance continues to skyrocket. I have tried contacting 1 of the schools and told I could not get any information, bc its not me. How am I in debt to something that I have no clue what it is? Or to get any information to help w the acct to get it resolved & closed. I went through the Dept. Of Education and also filed a report as suggested. The individual told me I would get a letter confirming that it had been resolved. The other concern is when I file a report, I cant give a name or anything confirming who I think abused my identity. Im literally distraught. Its destroying my credit and shows I owe so much, when I actually do not. 
I have attended these colleges : XXXX College XXXX XXXX College XXXX University XXXX XXXX College XXXX College All of these others I have not attended. I also had reported that XXXX college financial advisor had altered my information @ the time of enrollement. Regarding my income & or individuals in my home. I spoke to an advisor for assistance @ XXXX   that told me my report in XXXX that had 6 people in my home. I would really like to get this resolved. This is unfair and I have no other options.
