Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/year> Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Subject : Formal Complaint Against Barclays Regarding XXXX Late Payment Reporting Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to file a formal complaint against Barclays Bank Delaware concerning the inaccurate XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX late payment on my Old Navy Barclays credit card account ( Account XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX. I believe that Barclays has unfairly reported this delinquency, despite having clear evidence that the delay was due to circumstances beyond my control and that I took immediate action to rectify the situation as soon as I became aware of it. 

Details of the Incident : XXXX. Circumstances Leading to the XXXX XXXX : o I recently moved to a new address and changed my email address, which led to a disruption in receiving my billing statements. 
o XXXX to this move and the change in contact information, I did not receive my billing statement for the payment due in XX/XX/year>. 
o As soon as I received an alert from my Experian monitoring program on XX/XX/year>, regarding a delinquency on my account, I contacted Barclays and spoke with an operator ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ) who informed me of the missed payment. 
XXXX. XXXX XXXX Taken : o Upon realizing the missed payment, I made the full payment immediately on XX/XX/year>. 
o I provided Barclays with proof of my change of address and email, and the payment made to settle the account. 
XXXX. Request for XXXX : o Despite my prompt action and explanation, Barclays has refused to remove the XXXX late payment from my credit report. 
o Given my excellent credit history and the fact that this was an isolated incident caused by communication issues during my move, I believe that Barclays should have taken into account the mitigating circumstances and removed the late payment from my credit report. 

Impact on My Credit : This inaccurate reporting has negatively impacted my XXXX XXXX, which is unjust considering my history of timely payments and responsible credit management. 
XXXX XXXX : I am requesting that the CFPB intervene to have Barclays remove the XXXX late payment from my credit report and ensure that my credit history accurately reflects my payment behavior.

Complaint narrative:
My account with XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXXXXXX XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. 

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! 

I demand the late payment reported in those account to be removed. 

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law! 

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. 


XXXX XXXX Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ). 


I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. 

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer! 

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports

Complaint narrative:
I am rejecting this response because : The Credit Bureau recent response to my complaint regarding inaccuracies on my credit report. 

Despite my numerous attempts to dispute these erroneous accounts and rectify the situation, XXXX has failed to adequately address and resolve the issues at hand. 

Over the past several months, I have repeatedly contacted The Credit Bureau, providing detailed information and supporting documentation to demonstrate the inaccuracies present in my credit report. Unfortunately, each attempt has been met with insufficient action and a lack of proper investigation into the matters I raised. This ongoing negligence has caused significant harm to my creditworthiness and has had adverse effects on my financial well-being. 

I am now seeking the intervention and assistance of the CFPB to help resolve these persistent issues. The Credit Bureau failure to correct these inaccuracies and conduct a thorough investigation is a clear violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). Specifically, they have breached my consumer rights to a fair and accurate credit report by not fulfilling their obligation to investigate disputes properly and correct any errors. 

The FCRA mandates that credit reporting agencies must investigate disputed information and make corrections if inaccuracies are found. 
The Credit Bureau continuous disregard for this responsibility has not only violated my rights but has also perpetuated the damages being done to me as a consumer. 

I trust that the CFPB will take appropriate action to ensure that The Credit Bureau adheres to the FCRAs requirements and conducts a comprehensive review of my disputes. I am seeking a resolution that includes the correction of all inaccuracies on my credit report and a guarantee that my consumer rights will be respected moving forward.

Complaint narrative:
" I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding unauthorized accounts that persist on my credit report despite my repeated efforts to have them removed. These accounts are causing significant damage to my financial reputation and overall well-being. It is evident that the inclusion of these fraudulent items violates 15 USC 1681b regarding permissible purposes, as the credit bureaus have no legitimate reason to report them without my explicit consent. Please refer to the attached file detailing these items I am disputing. 
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. ''
