Subject : Dispute of Inaccurate Reporting of My Information - Violation of Fair Credit Reporting Act To Whom It May Concern, I am writing this letter to formally dispute the accuracy of the information being reported by your agency regarding my credit history, specifically with regard to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, as it pertains to Account number : XXXX and Account number : XXXX. It has come to my attention that you have been reporting information related to these accounts without my consent, and I believe that this action directly violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

The FCRA, under 15 USC 1681b, clearly outlines the permissible purposes for which consumer reporting agencies may furnish credit information. It is my firm belief that your actions in reporting my information without my consent are in direct violation of this statute.

Additionally, 15 USC 1666B establishes that a creditor, in this case, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open-end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose. I request that you ensure that " ALL '' late payments associated with the accounts mentioned be updated to " Paid as Agreed Never Late ( PAANL ) '' immediately, in accordance with this statute. 

In light of these violations of the FCRA, I kindly request that you take the necessary steps to correct this inaccurate reporting and update the information associated with Account number : XXXX and Account number : XXXX to reflect my true credit history.

Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2023 I contacted my bank to report a transaction that I believed it was fraudulent from a scammer. I asked for the transaction to be voided or cancelled ( reversed ) and the bank confirmed they would. My card was cancelled, and they sent me a new one. However, the charged remained on my account for the following days. I followed up with the bank and requested status for several times, their response was always that I would see it on my following billing cycle. I submitted a dispute because the bank deemed the charge a legitimate transaction from the beginning. I submitted all the evidence I could and the response from my bank suggested that the other party had strong evidence since the charge was for a service that was provided. I came to the conclusion that the service that was provided was to pull money from my credit card and give it to the scammer. A phone call from a supervisor was requested and when finally received the call, they explained that there is nothing they can do. During the dispute process they allowed the merchant ( third party ) 45 days to provide evidence. At this point I didn't know who the merchant was since it was all part of the Scam. When I finally was able to contact the merchant ( third party ) they affirmed that they can not do anything since it was a transaction that happened over 30 days ago.
