Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing this formal complaint against Transunion in hopes of seeking resolution regarding the reporting of negative claims on my consumer credit profile. I believe that certain claims have been inadequately or un-demonstratedly asserted, and I am deeply concerned about the accuracy and integrity of their reporting practices. 

Also, Transunion said they investigated my claim and have " verified '' my inquiries only but they are still reporting inaccurate information My primary complaints are as follows : 1. Failure to Ensure Accurate Reporting : I firmly believe that XXXX has not taken adequate measures to ensure that my consumer credit report profile is reported factually, ethically, and in compliance with federally-defined timeliness. The reporting should also be physically verifiable and validated, adhering to the mandatorily utilized Metro2 Data-filled Field Formatted Reporting Standards without any omissions or deviations.

2. Deviation from Established Reporting Standards : Based on my understanding of CDIA 's CRRG manual ( see CRRG 3-4 ), any deviation from the Metro2 standards jeopardizes the integrity of the data. I am concerned that Experian may not be adhering to these established standards, which raises questions about the credibility and reliability of the reported information. 

3. Lack of Documented Proof : Despite my attempts to contest the reported information, XXXX has not provided sufficient documented proof confirming the accuracy and compliance of the negative claims asserted against me. As a consumer, I have the right to demand evidence of reporting appropriateness and adherence to regulatory requirements

Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2019, I was invited to attend a presentation for a XXXX XXXX XXXX  I was told the presentation would last 1.5 hours, my family was kept there for 4.5 hours. 
The representative for XXXX XXXX convinced us to join their organization. They promised my children a trip to XXXX, us a trip to XXXX, a gift card to a restaurant and we we would be under no obligation and could cancel at anytime. We told the floor supervisor that we would not qualify for this we had too much debt. 

The floor manger took both our licenses and told us she would try to get us approved for for financing and left us in the lobby. She came back and told us, that my husband was approved for {$10000.00} and I was approved for {$6000.00}. We never applied for the credit cards, it was all done by someone there. We were in another room and had no input. I was not informed of the credit terms and did not know they had applied for credit with XXXX and affiliate of XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX lines is one of the stakeholders being sold in the package they offered us. At the end of the presentation when they ushered us into a room to sign a stack of 55 pages. During this time the closing agent XXXX XXXX was talking up the company and talking a mile a minute distracting us. However both my husband and I repeatedly asked him if we could cancel at any time, and we were assured that yes we could. We were given this assurance by the sales agent XXXX, the floor supervisor, and the closing agent. I wanted time to review the documents. All these people lied to us. 

When I tried to cancel 2 weeks later I was told that I could cancel the contract but would be held liable for the credit card expense. When I spoke with the credit card company that told me that if we did not pay our credit would be ruined. We began making payments while trying to get the contract cancelled. We had an attorney send a letter out to XXXX XXXX and they did not respond to us. I called and wrote to the director and a gentleman by the name of XXXX XXXX with no clear response. 

When COVID -19 impacted the world the credit card company raised the monthly payments. We could no longer make the payments for a product we did not receive. In reading the documents later I found out if I miss a payment for renewal, they have the right to void the membership. Even though XXXX XXXX collected {$160000.00}. We are currently being sued for a debt we did not willing and lawfully apply for, we have not received any good or services to date, one of the gifts promised had ever been received. As a consumer I need to find a legal resolution to this issue. 

Please help me find resolution to this issue.
