Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
To whom this may concern : I am writing because I received a XXXX late reporting on my credit report due to misinformation that I received from XXXX of your customer representatives XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. 
I called into the customer support line of XX/XX/XXXX, to inquire about why I received a {$29.00} late fee when I made my scheduled payment on XX/XX/XXXX, which is the due date. I realized I had the fee by logging into the Barclays app. I spoke with XXXX who stated on a recorded call that the fee was an error on the companys end and that he would remove the fee. Prior to calling in I had scheduled a {$300.00} payment because the app had stated that I needed to pay that amount to get my account current. I asked XXXX about that and if I needed to make that {$300.00} payment or if he had corrected the error. He stated I did not need to make that payment and that the account would update soon and therefore I asked him to cancel the {$300.00} payment since he made it clear it was not necessary. 
On XX/XX/XXXX I saw in my app that it was still reporting I had a balance, so I called in again and spoke with a representative who finally explained that what happened was I did not pay the minimum payment of {$280.00} in XXXX. I made a {$200.00} payment because I was under the impression the minimum payment was {$180.00}. She explained that I would need to make another payment of at least {$200.00} to be current. I then went into the app and scheduled the payment while on the phone with her. She let me know that would cover XXXX payment but that I would still need to make another payment before XX/XX/XXXX to cover XXXX payment. 
Had XXXX explained on XX/XX/XXXX that the reason I received the late fee was because I did not make the minimum payment, and not that it was an error on the companys end. I would have made the rest of the payment that day and/or I wouldve made the {$300.00} payment I had already scheduled. He assured me that it was not needed and subsequently canceled that payment on his end.

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Request for Waiver of Interest Charges Dear Sir/Madam, I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to formally express my dissatisfaction regarding the recent interest charge of {$2300.00} applied to my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Card account. Despite my consistent efforts to manage my account responsibly, I was surprised to see this substantial fee on my recent statement. 

I have reviewed the transaction details and the associated terms of my account. However, the explanation provided by your customer service representative was not clear, and I am unable to understand the basis for this high interest charge. As a loyal customer who values the services provided by XXXX XXXX XXXX I am deeply concerned about this unexpected financial burden. 

I would like to inform you that I have paid all the amounts I owe to the card, minus the {$2300.00} interest charge. Given the lack of clarity and my commitment to maintaining a good credit standing, I kindly request that you review my account and consider waiving this interest charge. I believe this adjustment would be a fair resolution and would greatly alleviate the stress caused by this situation. 

I appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to a prompt and favorable resolution. Please feel free to contact me at XXXX or XXXX if you require any further information. 

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
My XXXX XXXX XXXX account was hacked and my personal data was compromised. XXXX XXXX XXXX is providing free credit monitoring for a year. Also, someone used my personal information to take out a Paycheck Protection Program ( PPP ) loan. I went to the free credit report website three different times and each time I was asked to enter my credit card to charge me {$29.00} per month. I could never get past this page to request a free credit report from TransUnion or XXXX. These firms make it too difficult for the consumer and in my opinion are not abiding by the spirit of the law/agreement that they are operating under.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I recently sent out letters to the Consumer Reporting Agencies about inaccurate items on my consumer report and they came back verified. However : I still never gave them no written content to furnish this information on my consumer report. They also violated 15 USC 1681i 5 & 7 and verified these items, and violated 15 USC 1681a ( 2 ) ( B ). The items have to be deleted BEFORE the full investigation is complete. The law states that any authorization or approval of a specific extension of credit directly or indirectly by the issuer of a credit card or similar device are not supposed to be included in a consumer report, and this reported information was an EXPERIENCE of mine. 

Consumer Reporting Agencies have assumed a vital role in assembling and evaluating consumer credit and other information on consumers. There is a need to ensure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumers right to privacy. Also, it is required that consumer reporting agencies adopt reasonable procedures for meeting the needs of commerce for consumer credit, personnel, insurance, and other information in a manner which is fair and equitable to the consumer, with regard to the confidentiality, accuracy, relevancy, and proper utilization of such information. They did not follow reasonable procedures to meet my needs as a consumer nor do what is fair and equitable to me, the consumer. Most importantly, this company did not exercise their grave responsibility by respecting my right to privacy, as a consumer. 

Here are the items that need to be DELETED from my report.
