Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt is not yours
Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
I check my credit report constantly. This debt collector engaged in abusive, deceptive, and unfair practices of the FDCPA which it prohibits. They furnished this account that we didn't agree upon, and I didn't sign an agreement on. A legal contract is signed by two parties, and I did not participate in any of it. Furthermore, they didn't follow the proper five validation procedure which makes this an unfair practice.

Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem when making payments — Problem during payment process
Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: CT

Complaint narrative:
I have a JetBlue MAstercard with Barclays. I have had the card for many years and make payments regularly and use it regularly. I was at my credit limit last week so I made a payment of {$1700.00} against my account which would give me approx. {$1300.00} in credit to use to buy Jet Blue tickets. I made the payment on Sunday from my XXXX account. The payment was registered by Barclays on XXXX  the XXXX XXXX XXXX but they will not release the money to my account until XX/XX/XXXX, saying that somehow I can cancel the payment with my bank. I feel like this is an outrageous practice as they have my money- it is no longer in my XXXX account but they will not allow me to charge anything against my JetBlue card. The only reason this matters is because when I book airfare with Jetblue using that card I get a free checked bag and additional airmiles. I can not wait until the XXXX to book the travel so I had to use another provider 's card and i lose out on the {$30.00} per ticket free bag ( {$60.00} total ) and the miles. I called them and they tole me that they could remove the credit hold so that I could may the purchase but they transferred me to someone else who refused - telling me I could still cancel the payment I also send them an email and they gave me the same response although after I told them I would file a claim with you, they said I could call them back and they will reconsider making the change... too late I already bought the tickets and had to pay for the bags. I don't think its fair for them to hold my money but not apply it to my account enabling me to use it.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX keeps reporting my account open although the account is showing closed and paid with a {$0.00} balance on their own website. I paid the {$1700.00} on XX/XX/22. I was deeply impacted by the shutdowns with an inability to make a living due to the pandemic and I made them aware of the situation but they provided no relief to me. All I want is for the account to be reported accurately and closed out. This should have been done well over 2 years ago. This is causing me further financial harm and leaving me with little recourse I may have to get an attorney involved. I had send an email to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX hopefully I will get some response.
