Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE (FL)

On XXXX XXXX I opened a XXXX rewards card. In XXXX  I was sick and couldn't work for some time, so I couldn't make some payments. I called the customer service of the card to inform them why I could not pay, so the payments accumulated and the interest grew. They were difficult times for me. The account was closed on XX/XX/2019. During all that time there were calls and letters arriving at the house about the amount owed on the account. I never intended not to pay. As soon as my health was recovering, I returned to work and also began to pay the debts. On XX/XX/2019, I received a letter explaining that the company XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX would take care of my debt instead of BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE. And of course I also called them and talked to them about my clear intentions to pay. On XXXX XXXX they sent me a letter offering me that if I paid {$880.00} my debt would be fully paid. I contacted them and again they repeated the same offer over the phone and assured me that all the debt would disappear. So I made the decision and paid them the agreed amount of {$880.00}. I complied with the agreement but when I check my credit report now I see that despite all my sacrifices to improve my credit and bring all my cards to XXXX debt Barclays bank delaware continues to report me negative and with late payments and debt with them and this continues to affect me. I contacted them and the response was to continue that negative report for 10 years because I paid an agreement, not the entire amount. How could this happen? They put the amount of the deal and told me that the debt would disappear completely, they never said that in their calls and they did not write it in the payment agreement letter for the total amount of {$880.00}, settling the debt. I need you to please help me in this because it is not fair that after we made a deal and I paid them they do not comply, I feel that they are laughing at me in my face, I know it was my duty to pay them and I sacrificed myself and them pay what they asked me. I need help on this because it's not fair what they did to me.

The dispute items do not belong to me. Im attaching the required FTC Report for you ( learned through more research both parties require ). Please remove these files.

Company: TRUIST FINANCIAL CORPORATION (GA)

I am being charged a {$20.00} maintenance each month and Ive continuously been given misinformation on how to avoid this fee. I was initially told by several employees that a direct deposit of $ XXXX would allow me to avoid this fee, which I did. After still being charged, I reached out to Truist and was informed I had to direct deposit $ XXXX. Ive since increased my monthly direct deposit to {$3000.00} and am still being charged. Ive asked several times for a fee schedule and am being told it doesnt exist. At this point, I can only assume Truist is intentionally misinforming consumers to charge additional fees.

I filed a dispute for incorrect information on my credit report. I received an email from the credit bureau stating that they are assuming the disputes are coming from a 3rd party. They in fact did not come from a 3rd party. l even called them to verify it was me and they still refused to process my disputes. I wasted money on mailing my disputes out. I sent personal information to verify my identity through mail, just for them to not thoroughly investigate.

I got a message from an attorney that sent an ad for the service and they sent the first page of a lawsuit against me. I have not been served yet and this attorney was warning me of the lawsuit. US Bank has never sent me one collection letter. My husband got sick and Im behind on payments, but never a letter for collections or a validation letter. Us Bank had violated the Fair Debt Act. In turn, because of this, I want damages awarded to me for my rights being violated. Im suppose to get a letter about being sent to collections. I never got one in the mail. I know by law they have to send me one.

I am writing to file a formal complaint against Lowe 's Home Improvement in XXXX, Pennsylvania, concerning their failure to issue a refund for a gas dryer that was never installed or left at my residence. On XX/XX/year>, I placed an order for a gas dryer ( XXXX XXXX. XXXX ). The dryer was delivered shortly after ; however, due to technical issues, it could not be installed. 

The store immediately agreed to cancel the order and promptly took the dryer back. Despite this, Lowe 's has refused to remove the charge from my Lowe 's credit card account. I have made multiple attempts to resolve this issue directly with the store, but my efforts have been unsuccessful, and the charge remains on my account. 

I find it unacceptable to be charged for an item that was never left in my possession and was returned to the store immediately. This situation has caused me unnecessary stress and inconvenience, and it represents a clear violation of my consumer rights. 

I am requesting your agency 's assistance in resolving this matter. I urge you to compel Lowe 's to remove the charge from my credit card and ensure that they comply with appropriate consumer protection regulations. Enclosed are copies of all relevant documentation, including the order confirmation and my communications with the store regarding this issue. 

Please let me know if you need any further information from my end. I look forward to your prompt attention to this matter and appreciate your help in bringing it to a resolution. 

Thank you for your assistance.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information is missing that should be on the report
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (FL)

" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. 

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent. 

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them "

My intent is solely to ensure that my consumer report reflects only those transactions that I have authorized. I am committed to maintaining the integrity of my financial records and ensuring that they are accurate and truthful. My request is genuine and aimed at correcting an unauthorized inclusion, not at exploiting any system or misleading any party involved.
