Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2023, I was asked by a XXXX store clerk if I was interested to join a rewards program, I asked them what that meant and what I needed to do and they only told me to show my State ID and did not at all mention that this was a credit application. I was not informed about any applicable interest rate or fees, I was only informed that by scanning my state ID, I would get a 25 % discount on the purchase. I agreed to that and did not think further about the interaction. 

To my surprise, on XX/XX/2023, I received a store card in my name in the mail. 

Upon checking my credit history, I found that a hard inquiry was made to open this account. I called the issuer of the card and they agreed to close the account. They also agreed to request removal of the hard inquiry from my credit history. 

In retrospect, the store clerk deceived me into opening a credit account that I never consented to.

Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
Hi there, First off, thank you for working hard to protect us, ordinary consumers from being bullied and manipulated by large banks and financial institutions. We truly appreciate all your work. 

I am filing a complaint against Barclay US bank going against their promises of their promotional ads of Barclay XXXX Card. I am a Barclay XXXX Credit Card holder for many years. My account is ending in XXXX. On XX/XX/2023, they emailed me a promotional email to earn 5X additional miles on all purchases through XX/XX/2023. I enrolled right away and spent over their required {$500.00} before the end of the promotion. I was expecting that they kept their promise of adding XXXX miles to my account 6-8 weeks after the end of the promotion, but until this day, they've never added anything. 

I reached out to them last week and they simply denied of such a promotion. They said they could not locate it. And when I sent their promotional email to them as the undeniable evidence, they said it was a systematic promotion. Isn't it a promotion a promotion by Barclay US, regardless of how it is generated or sent to the customers? They had baited the customers to use their cards to spend but then they simply ignored their promises to the customers. I am attaching their promotional email along with this message. 

Thanks so much in advance for your help. Your work is truly appreciated. 

XXXX XXXX
