Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
Summary of credit card FRAUD : I was traveling in XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX  and after I returned home, I discovered a fraudulent charge on my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX for {$5300.00} ( XXXX EUR ). The merchant is : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. It appears this was done by a taxi we took. My card was never lost and I handed over the card in the taxi, but sadly I did not save any receipts and do not have record of the actual charge. When I discovered the fraud I immediately called Barclays Bank who cancelled the card, took the amount off of my account and started their investigation. After a few weeks I received a letter from Barclays that told me : " ... they completed their investigation and have determined the activity is valid because the card was identified as being in your possession and chip card technology was used... the provisional credit has been reversed and the amount owed has been placed back on your account ... '' WHAT!?!? I immediately called and pleaded my case. I did not spend this. This merchant is a strange transportation company of some sort, which includes taxis. I have NEVER spent this much. Please look at my history and this merchant. Barclays preceded to reopen the case, and then after another week or so, send me the same letter. This happened a number of times. I would receive the letter, call, case reopened, & then same letter. I also filed a police report, wrote letters, put a fraud alert on all my accounts ( through XXXX  ), filed a claim with my homeowners, contacted the US embassy in XXXX, contacted the Office of the President of Barclays, and am filing complaints with many of the regulatory agencies. I am doing everything I can do. I did pay my whole bill with the fraudulent charge on it ( was due XX/XX/XXXX ), so not to accrue interest and fees ( was counseled to do so ). I was told by Barclays on XX/XX/XXXX that due to the fact that I have no evidence and 2 months is up, the case is now closed. I am obviously upset and disappointed. I am now waiting to see if my homeowners, or any regulatory agencies, will help at all.

State: FL

Complaint narrative:
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.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the late payment entries currently listed on my credit report. I have repeatedly attempted to have these discrepancies reviewed and corrected, yet no significant action has been taken. Despite submitting all required documentation and following up multiple times, the inaccuracies remain unresolved. 
This prolonged issue has caused ongoing financial strain and has negatively affected both my credit standing and overall well-being. The process of addressing these errors has been not only frustrating but also mentally and emotionally exhausting. 
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have the legal right to a credit report that accurately reflects my financial history. This includes the timely correction or removal of outdated, incorrect, or unverifiable information. I am therefore urging your office to take immediate and appropriate action to update or delete the reported late payment entries in question.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to dispute fraudulent information I have found on my credit report, pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, and to request that such information be blocked or removed immediately. I am attaching a copy of my Identity Theft Report issued by the FTC ( FTC REPORT NUMBER : XXXX ) as evidence of my claim. 
According to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, when a consumer submits an identity theft report, credit reporting agencies are required to block any information identified by the consumer as a result of such theft within four ( 4 ) business days. 
The following information on my credit report is the result of identity theft and must be blocked : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, I respectfully request that this account be immediately blocked from my credit report. This block should remain in effect for a period of one year, after which I may request an extension. During this time, no information may be reported. 
I have contacted TRANUSNION multiple times to report these accounts, but I have not received a clear or definitive resolution to help me resolve this situation. This situation is severely affecting me as I am trying to purchase a new home for my children and obtain financial tools to support my economic growth. Having these negative accounts on my credit report has blocked all my opportunities and is causing me personal and financial harm. 
These accounts have already been removed and were not verified by other credit agencies, so I do not understand why this agency continues to assert that these accounts belong to me. 
I have requested copies of the contracts related to these accounts from the reporting company, and after more than 60 days, I have not received any response. I respectfully request your assistance in removing these accounts immediately.
