Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Frontier Airlines World Mastercard account ending in XXXX Frontier Airlines World Mastercard account ending in XXXX Frontier Airlines World Mastercard account ending in XXXX Barclay 's has erred in its decision about fraudulent charges that were made in XX/XX/2022 in XXXX XXXX XXXX. Neither my mom or I made the XXXX purchases in the XX/XX/2022 that were previously noted. We have already paid for all the charges we did make in XXXX. 

Based on Barclay 's response, it seems that I was mistaken that my Mom had a card. This doesn't make sense because she is an authorized user on all of my other credit cards. The fact is that she must have used my card when she was in XXXX and lost it there. I have personally never used my Barclay 's card, but have allowed my mom to use it. I have not been in XXXX for the past 5 years and have two letters that prove I was not there in XX/XX/2022 One letter is from my employer and the other from my XXXX XXXX. Your fraud fax number does not work. I called the fraud department and they told me to send them via regular mail. They are now attached. 

IN ADDITION, Barclay said that my payments, late fees, and interest would be on hold while the fraud is investigated. Unfortunately, they continue to charge interest and late fees. I had a close to perfect credit score before these fraudulent charges were made in XX/XX/2022. This is very stressful and a travesty.

These inquiries should come off my credit report in XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX XXXX. At this time I have time sensitive applications. So I need them removed as soon as possible. After I receive some type of letter of deletion or confirmation from both discover and XXXX XXXX I can prove to the credit bureaus these inquiries do not belong to me

Company: Credit Karma, LLC
State: NV

Complaint narrative:
On or around XX/XX/2023 I initiated a transfer from my XXXX XXXX XXXX Account to my Credit Karma checking account in the amount of {$600.00}. I have previously transferred between these accounts in the same fashion and never ran into an issue until now. Credit Karma advertises that they do not hold deposits and rather make the funds available to a customer as soon as the arrive, however I see in my account history that the funds had arrived on XX/XX/XXXX as expected yet they are BEING HELD by Credit Karma. Not only is CK ( Credit Karma ) falsely advertising their services to the american people, they are violating their very on rules by holding onto my deposit. 

In the transaction description it states that funds will be held until XX/XX/2023 to " prevent fraud ''. There has never been fraud reported on this account and this account has already had these transfers come through just fine historically. I think they are holding my deposit to utilize my funds for their own benefit, it makes no sense to hold my money XXXX like this.
