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: CA

Complaint narrative:
I received a billing statement showing a charge of {$23.00} on XX/XX/XXXX. I then called the credit card company, explained that I would like more information on who submitted this charge. They said they would investigate it and contact me. We talked on the phone a few times, I can't make it any simpler, WHAT COMPANY SUBMITTED THOS CHARGE? 
They would not answer me, then sent me a letter dated XX/XX/XXXX saying they are investigating. Additional phone calls show they don't know what they are doing. 
I sent a letter to them on XX/XX/XXXX. They would call me, leave messages to call their main number with any questions. I can't keep playing this game. 
On XX/XX/XXXX they sent me another letter with a bunch of runaround and inaccurate information, saying I have not stated what I would like to do, and suggested that I contact the merchant. I DON'T KNOW WHO THE MERCHANT IS!!!

Complaint narrative:
I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my concerns regarding the ability of credit bureaus to accurately determine whether a client is a victim of identity theft. While I understand that credit bureaus play a crucial role in maintaining the integrity of credit reporting, it is essential to acknowledge that there are certain limitations in identifying identity theft solely through traditional credit monitoring processes. I was the victim & I'm not sure why the CRA is not complying with the law. The other bureaus have followed suit. Im very confused why this one seems to ignore my requests. 

Identity theft is a pervasive problem in our digital age, and its methods are becoming increasingly sophisticated. Despite the best efforts of credit bureaus to detect suspicious activities and protect consumers, there are several reasons why it can be challenging to definitively determine whether a client has fallen victim to identity theft : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX have already removed this account from their records. There was an error present & they were able to find it. I'm confused about how you've verified it while the other bureaus have removed it. Please delete this from my file. It is inaccurate, erroneous, incomplete, or unverifiable. 

I believe it is essential for credit bureaus to acknowledge these limitations and explore more robust and proactive measures to protect consumers from identity theft. These measures could include increased data sharing and collaboration among financial institutions, more comprehensive identity verification processes, and enhanced monitoring for non-financial forms of identity theft. 

In conclusion, while credit bureaus play a vital role in the financial ecosystem, it is important to recognize the inherent challenges in definitively determining whether a client is a victim of identity theft solely through traditional credit monitoring processes. I urge you to consider these limitations seriously and work towards developing more effective strategies to protect consumers from the ever-evolving threat of identity theft.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Complaint Regarding Unauthorized Withdrawals from Savings Account Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a complaint against Bank of America for automatic errors or unauthorized repeated deductions from my savings account. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I manually repaid {$78.00}, but three days later, I strangely received two additional withdrawals, one for {$74.00}. I do not have automatic payments set up, and the balance should be {$78.00}. 

I promptly contacted Bank of America, but they insisted that I discuss this matter with the security department after XXXX. I expressed my unavailability during the holiday season and requested them to stop the second withdrawal. However, they stated that I must wait three days before contacting them again for a refund. 

This inexplicable and unsettling pattern of multiple unauthorized debits, coupled with the inconvenience of constant disturbances, is unacceptable. Such actions compromise the security of consumers and waste their valuable time. 

I request regulatory oversight on this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
