Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Other features, terms, or problems — Add-on products and services
Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE (NY)

I have a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Credit Card by Barclays Bank. One of the advertised benefits on the card is a Price Protection benefit according to which if the price on an item I purchased using my credit card drops after the purchase they will reimburse me the difference. https : //www.barclaycardus.comXXXX details all the benefits including the Price Protection benefit ( I got this link after logging into my credit card account so this is for my credit card and not generic information ). I called the number listed on the website to file a claim for Price Protection where they mentioned that my card does not have the Price Protection benefit. I called Barclays customer service with this information and they verified that the card does have the benefit and transferred me over to the claims department again to file the claim where they again denied the benefit. This ping pong back and forth between these 2 departments happened several times starting on XX/XX/XXXX and continued into XX/XX/XXXX where me and my wife collectively spent greater than 4-5 hours on this. On XX/XX/XXXX after much effort I was able to get XXXX customer service and the claims department on a conference line so they can work out the confusion between themselves ( you 'd imagine they should be doing this without me facilitating this ). They took a paper claim and mentioned that they will review the confusion with the management of the claims department to figure out what 's going on here and get back to me by end of day XX/XX/XXXX. That did not happen and I called the claims department for a follow up to that on XX/XX/XXXX and they went through the same ping pong game again asking for all information, refusing to connect me to their management and flat off denying that my card has any such benefit.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem — Investigation took more than 30 days
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (AL)

I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

Company: MONEYGRAM PAYMENT SYSTEMS WORLDWIDE INC (NC)

On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I went to Walmart in XXXX, NC to make an international XXXX transfer to XXXX in the amount of {$300.00} USD. I paid {$300.00} including the transfer fee. When the recipient went to pick up the money with their ID at XXXX services at a local Honduran bank, they were told that the sender needs to call and verify. The following day, XXXX XXXX, XXXX, The agent at Walmart called XXXX for me and was informed that the recipient must call to verify, not the sender. I then told the recipient to call and verify and after doing so, they said now please have the sender call again to verify. On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I called again and was informed that no, I am verified, the sender is verified, but the XXXX agent in XXXX has to call on behalf of the recipient to verify. The recipient went back to the bank and spoke with a XXXX agent who insisted this is a mistake from the XXXX services on the XXXX side said the sender is the person that needs to call and verify. They absolutely refused to make any calls neither for the recipient nor to XXXX. I went back to Walmart where I made the initial transfer and the same Walmart associate who had helped me before called XXXX to inform them of this situation and request a refund. She was told that they will not release my money not even for a refund unless the Honduran XXXX agent calls them. She transferred the phone to me and after explaining it to them again, they told me if the bank does n't want to call then please have the recipient call, once again, to verify. 
XXXX has given me many different numbers to call that I, the recipient, and the XXXX Walmart associate have been calling to resolve this and keep getting the runaround. After calling these numbers numerous times about this situation, I no longer want to deal with their customer service. They are now holding my money indefinitely and will not release it even though both I and the sender have already been verified. I have used their service many times before and never had any issues.

In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit. This incorrect information is greatly hindering me from getting the credit score I deserve and hopefully, this letter will resolve all the issues on my credit. I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of these items. Your failure to positively verify these accounts and inquiries has hurt my ability to obtain credit.

My account with this company is being reported late and i was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with this company and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. 

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! 

I demand the late payment reported in MONTHS REPORTING LATE to be removed They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law!

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date.

This company never sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ).

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided.

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer! 

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports.
