Consumer complaint received 2021-11-09
Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Getting a credit card — Delay in processing application
Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE (NY)

This is a follow up to my first complaint which was never resolved but the case was closed. I applied to Barclays for a credit card and gave all the personal information plus the follow up documents that were requested. I never heard back. I tried for weeks to contact them but never was able to speak to a representative. When I finally did, I was told the request was denied but I had never been notified. I was told a letter would be received, which, to date, has never come. I asked to speak to another person and was refused. I submitted a complaint to your office and an inquiry was initiated, I heard from a Barclay 's XXXXXXXX ( " XXXX '' -no last name ) who stated I would need to resubmit the documentation and I declined, having submitted personal information twice already. I was asked if I wanted to withdraw the application and I agreed to avoid more " lost documents '' - ( as " XXXX '' stated ). I received a phone message to which I responded XXXX  times but never heard back. 
To date I have NEVER received " the letter '' explaining why I was rejected. I checked my credit score and it was not the problem. Now that I " withdrew '' my application '' all has been disregarded, including in your office but it does not in any way solve the problem of the collection of extensive personal information and no notification whatsoever about the rejection. No, this case is definitely not solved! I will continue to pursue this as this financial institution has my personal information and I have received nothing about the reason for the declination. Withdrawing my application does not correct their transgressions and closing the case does not eliminate the situation. I was definitely NOT going to RESUBMIT more financial information when I had already done so on the phone and by email and received NO RESPONSE in return. Why did their office never return my XXXX return phone calls? They left a message and never called me back after " XXXX '' offered to withdraw the application, which I have since found out will adversely affect my credit rating. This is abuse of XXXX XXXX of the highest order and I have received no answers from you, them or the XXXX.

We live in a world of high technology, why would a bank allow you to transfer money from XXXX or anything else when you dont have enough deposits? Because they can charge fees and its relative to writing bad checks. 

This is wrong, they know you dont have money and they also know they can charge fees, crazy fees for overdraft, this was an accident, not purposeful. 

Come on government, make it fair, everyone is tired of being ripped off. Its simple, if you dont have money, you cant transfer it, not go head and we will chrArge you crazy fees. 

This is Wells Fargo who has ripped everyone off and Im the XX/XX/XXXX one for being loyal.

It appears that my credit/my file/my credit file has been compromised. Again, I was going through my records & noticed many information, accounts or items which do not belong to me. Since Im a stickler for research, I found that under section 605b of the FCRA you are required by law to remove & block any accounts or information which is found to be opened due to identity theft. The dispute items do not belong to me. Im attaching the required FTC Report for you and the bank 's records ( learned through more research both parties require ). Please block/remove these files. 

CALIFORNIA XXXX XXXX ( Original Creditor : XXXX XXXX ) XXXX Date Opened : XX/XX/XXXX Balance : {$55.00}, and XXXX XXXX CT CA XXXX XXXX XXXX Date Filed/Reported : XX/XX/XXXX Asset Amount : {$0.00}. 

If you feel there is a possibility these accounts belong to me I will require all documentation that bears my signature ( another research item I found that requires you to verify with 100 % accuracy that each account is 100 % true, accurate, correct, complete & VERIFIABLE ). If you do not provide any records & claim the item is verified please understand I will seek legal action. I do not take kindly to games nor does my attorney.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL (MD)

on XX/XX/2022 I received a letter in the mail stating that all of my Synchrony accounts are closed due to activity on accounts with synchrony bank indicative of high risk of failure to pay. 

However most accounts I have with synchrony do not carry a balance. others are paid in full monthly and on time. I was just given credit limit increases on most of the accounts about 2 weeks prior to all of the accounts being closed. My income is more than enough to cover any debt I may carry. 

I tried reaching out to synchrony multiple times and no one can ever give me an answer to what is going on.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (SC)

I have had an issue before where a car dealer told me my Equifax account was locked and they could not get a score from them. I tried to resolve it over the phone but I was never able to get it unlocked. It cost me an extra {$1000.00} down with the car dealer to complete the transaction. It is now about 3 years later and I am applying for a Home Equity loan with XXXX. XXXX is telling me there is a freeze on my Equifax score. I have never requested either a lock or a freeze on my account. I find this to be extremely frustrating and invasive to my financial security. I have never received a letter from Equifax about any matter ever and I am unable to LOGIN to my online account. The website does not adequately provide a reasonable way to reset my password it simply spins you in circles and you get nowhere.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (CA)

My name is XXXX, Im in my late XXXX, and trying to fix this has felt like mission impossible. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX, a debt buyer, and the three Credit Reporting Agencies have been the most difficult task I have ever encountered.

Im desperate. 

I know the CFPB has inroads so please take this nightmare away from me and to them! 

THIS DISPUTE IS REGARDING ORIGINAL LENDER : XXXX XXXX  Acct XXXX in the amount of {$2600.00}. 

This trade line just appeared on my credit report. I explained it was probably a credit mix up and asked to have it removed. But my request was completely ignored. 

It was never my loan. I never applied for it and never received it. As a matter of fact, I was told that not a single payment was ever made on that note. 

I got an email offer in XXXX via email to settle the amount for {$260.00}. 

I accepted because I was tired of the calls. Every morning, before I got up they were already calling! 

But it should not be that way. The information on there is supposed to be accurate and they have a legal obligation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act 's Furnisher Rule.

For XXXX months I have tried to have this debt either validated or deleted and Ive achieved neither. 


I mailed XXXX letters via USPS CERTIFIED AND RETURN RECEIPT to XXXX from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX. 

XX/XX/XXXX I mailed XXXX, EQUIFAX AND XXXX a letter stating my intent to sue. 

I hope that there is resolution between XXXX and I. 

Enclosed is documentation supporting my request : the letters mailed over the last XXXX  months ( although they did nothing to help ). 

Please investigate this matter and delete the disputed item as soon as possible.
