Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
My complaint to the CFPB lays bare Barclays ' disregard for accuracy and fairness in reporting to the credit bureaus. Despite my relentless pursuit fix this issue, Barclays has callously neglected to investigate this matter with due diligence.Let me state the facts. XX/XX/XXXX, I made a payment using a money ordera payment method known for its reliability and certainty. Yet, Barclays shamelessly persists in falsely claiming default on the payment plan despite them admitting themselves a payment was made on XX/XX/XXXX. This flagrant injustice is not merely an isolated incident but a damning indication of Barclays ' systemic failure in reporting practices. Barclays states in a letter mailed ( I have confirmed that your XXXX XXXX account is reporting accurately as charged off, with a balance of {$1200.00}, and in dispute by the consumer. We have verified that the tradeline is reporting as in dispute with the consumer reporting agencies since XX/XX/XXXX. 
The integrity of the credit reporting system relies upon the accuracy of information provided ; submitting the update you requested would create an inaccurate representation of your account. 
As such, we are unable to honor your request to remove the associated delinquencies or tradeline from your credit report ) yet they continue to furnish inaccurate information to the credit bureaus. It's unconscionable that even three years later, on XX/XX/XXXX, my credit reports still reflect Barclays ' mistake. This settlement was completed in XX/XX/XXXX, yet Barclays persists in its dishonesty despite confronted with clear irrefutable facts Money orders do not bounce! Barclays inexplicably continues to perpetuate this falsehood. It's time for Barclays to acknowledge their wrongdoing and take immediate action to rectify this injustice.
