Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Other features, terms, or problems — Problem with rewards from credit card
Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
I have a credit card with XXXX, which is a subsidiary of Barclaycard US. Their rewards program promises a {$100.00} credit for each XXXX points redeemed. 
I contacted XXXX in XXXX XXXX ( I believe XXXX XXXX XXXX ) to redeem XXXX points. I was told my account would be credited in about 10 days. When this did not happen I called again to check and was told it would be taken care of and my account would be credited in about 10 days. I was given a case # XXXX. Again this did not happen. I called several times, including XXXX XXXX, when I was told they would look into it and gave me a case # XXXX. By this time I had earned additional points, so I told them to redeem XXXX. 
About one week later I saw that XXXX points had been subtracted from the account, but nothing had been credited. I called again on XXXX XXXX and was told they would check, it would take about 10 days. I explained I had been told this several times without any action, and I wanted to talk to someone at a higher level. I was told someone would call me within 24 hours and given another case # XXXX. 
Someone did call me XXXX. He did not have any more information than any of the previous individuals I had spoken with. When I told him everyone I spoke with had told me my issue would be resolved in 10 days he said it will now take 30 days. He also said they only redeem reward points on line, not by telecom. I told him I have been a card holder for many years and had always redeemed reward points by phone, Also none of the individuals I had spoken to previously had told me that, including the first person who said she would process my request. 
My concern is that XXXX ( Barclaycard US ) appears to have no process to resolve claims. Each person I spoke with would tell me that the redemption would be taken care of, but could not tell me why it had not yet been accomplished. They can see there were cases opened, but could not tell me why they had been closed without action. I request your assistance to resolve this problem.

Company: Diversified Consultants, Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I have power of attorney for my father, who is XXXX years old. At the time of the alleged debt, in the summer of XXXX, my father lived in an independent living facility in XXXX, CO. He had signed up through the living facility to obtain cable through XXXX. He claims that the independent facility quoted him a price for the cable package, but when they went to install it the price was substantially higher that what was originally quoted to him. So he declined to have the cable installed. All of his dealings was with the independent living facility and he never signed any contract with XXXX, to the best of his knowledge. Over a year later on XXXX XXXX, XXXX, he received a letter from Diversified Consultants, Inc. XXXX. XXXX XXXX, XXXX, FLXXXXXXXX that he owned XXXX {$210.00}. I wrote a letter in his behalf to Diversified Consultants on XXXX XXXX, XXXX, advising them that my dad did not owe the amount as he had never signed any agreement with XXXX. To date neither my father or myself have received any response from Diversified Consultants. However some alarming events have taken place. I received a letter from XXXX stating that my father 's address had been changed to my residence. My father does not live with me and has his own address. Further neither my father or myself have ever notified anyone to change his address to mine. The second incident involved my personal credit information. I was advised on XXXX XXXX, XXXX, that on my credit information, my address has changed to my dad 's previous and present address. These two incidents need to be corrected as they are not only incorrect, but are inaccurate and not requested. A letter has been sent to Diversified Consultants to advise them of these unacceptable practices.

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/XXXX RE : Bad faith failure to provide XXXX credit card insurance coverage on claim XXXX XXXXChase and their administrator,  XXXX XXXX XXXX, have continued to delay providing clearly required and repeatedly admitted insurance coverage for damage to a car rented using our XXXX/Chase credit card. Despite our repeatedly providing the same information to XXXX/Chase through their claims administrator over the last 6 weeks they have failed to respond. This delay now imminently threatens our credit rating. 

The car we rented from XXXX XXXXl was scraped on XX/XX/XXXX. We notified XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX by phone. On XX/XX/XXXX after receiving the repair information from XXXX, we sent XXXX  the requested voluminous information to XXXX/Chases claims administrator XXXX XXXX XXXX, which we assembled, responding completely to all of XXXX/Chases inquiries. 

Since that time XXXXChase, through their administrator XXXX XXXX XXXX, has three times responded to us, asking the same questions they initially asked, each of which was completely answered in the materials we initially provided to XXXX. XXXX investigators failed to look beyond the first page of scanned documents. We did, however, respond to each new inquiry completely and promptly, providing again the repeatedly requested information. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX has now given us until XX/XX/XXXX, to make payment or they will refer the matter for collection. This is entirely XXXX fault and their delay is wholly without justification. 

We have talked to XXXX people, who say XXXX/Chase does this all the time : delaying, and then trying to save money by further negotiating down what they owe, even though there is no question what is owed. For instance, XXXX/Chase haas now submitted a proposal that does not cover the interest XXXX has added for all the delay, and that requires a release, even through they are not entitled to a release from XXXX. 

Thank you for your attention.

Issue: Problem when making payments — You never received your bill or did not know a payment was due
Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
I had a Capital One XXXX business card from XXXX/XXXX/XXXX to XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. During the year that this account was open, I have always paid the credit card off in full without missing a single payment. 

On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX I called Capital One to close down my account in full because I no longer needed a small business card due to the fact that I had accepted a full time job with another company. The conversations I had with the Capital One representative lead me to believe that the card had been paid off in full and that the account would be fully closed. 

I learned on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX that pending charges that had been associated with the closed account had not been paid. I was told by a credit bureau that I was 90 days delinquent in paying these charges. I promptly tried to pay off my account in full on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. It would take until XXXX/XXXX/XXXX to get my account fully paid and closed. 

From XXXX/XXXX/XXXX until the account was verified closed on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. I never received any correspondence relating to a bill, an outstanding balance, a delinquent account, etc. No emails, no phone calls, no letters sent to my home address. 

I was told by Capital One that I didnt receive any notifications relating to my outstanding balance because I had opted into Wireless Billing. I was surprised to learn that fulling closing an account does not also terminate your wireless billing agreement. 

I asked Capital One why I didnt receive any emails corresponding to this outstanding balance because I was in frequent contact with them through email before the incident. They explained that emails were nothing more than a courtesy and that they probably stopped emailing me because I closed the account. 

Thus. I feel like my credit score was adversely affected because Capital One failed to adequately notify me that something was wrong with my closed account. I understand that I am responsible for all charges made on a credit card but this situation is crazy. I feel like Im the victim of some random companies obscure online policies that is now affecting my ability to obtain a house. Etc. 

This event has forever changed the way I deal with a credit card company. I will now call them multiple times to verify and re-verify that payments have been settled and no debts are do.

Company: Freedom Mortgage Company
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
My complaint is with Freedom Mortgage, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, Ind XXXX ; the mgr. of the Tax Dept is XXXX XXXX. The first problem arose when {$930.00} was required monthly as the escrow payment. The total annual property tax for XXXX is {$8200.00}. The monthly amount should be {$690.00} in 12 monthly increments. Instead, Freedom requires an additional {$230.00}. When we questioned the excess amount, Freedom said they were assuming a large tax increase in XXXX. This assumption conflicts with California law which limits an increase to 2 %. The assessor analyzes property values each year and adjusts the tax bill up or down based on this analysis done between XXXX and XXXX. 
Currently there is {$9200.00} of our money in that escrow account. The extra {$230.00} over six months will be {$1400.00}. We did not want an escrow account as we are able to pay any property tax and did so with other mortgages, paying directly with no deliquencies. Freedom does not allow us to manage the property tax payments although they are doing a poor job and failed to pay the taxes on time. We sent a fax to Freedom with the tax bill in XXXX and asked that the entire amount be paid. Customer Care provided the fax number. The fax was addressed to the Tax Dept. The County tax office confirmed this week that the tax was unpaid and delinquent with a penalty assessed. A call to Customer Care revealed that the fax was buried somewhere in the files and was not forwarded to the Tax Dept. We want the escrow account terminated given the incompetent management. Calling Customer Care is useless as each time you get a different person. We were told to send the tax bill but were not given the correct fax number. Freedom does not issue guidelines for tax bill payment and apparently does not track tax information on the County website where the tax bill, including the Secured Supplemental Tax Bill is  displayed. This is a flawed system that does not work for the consumer. That impound account belongs to us and we are capable of handling the tax bills. Please help us out of this nightmare. There is no benefit to us from this arrangement.
