Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute and file a complaint with BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE regarding inaccuracies on my credit report, which I believe violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act ( FACTA ). My name is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, and my date of birth is XX/XX/year>. My current address is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, IL XXXX. The related FTC report number for this dispute are XXXX, XXXX. Upon reviewing my credit file, I have identified several entries that appear to be inaccurate, duplicative, or fraudulent, with no evidence of authorization or approval by me. These entries do not correspond to any legitimate transactions, accounts, or activities that I have initiated and may be the result of fraud. As such, I assert that these inaccuracies violate my rights under the FCRA and FACTA, which provide me the ability to dispute inaccurate information and require you to investigate and correct or remove any unverified or erroneous entries. 
I believe these inaccuracies violate multiple sections of the FCRA, including Section 1681e ( b ), which mandates that credit reporting agencies maintain accurate information. The disputed entries on my report either appear duplicated or contain no legitimate transactions authorized by me. In addition, Section 1681i of the FCRA requires that credit agencies conduct a thorough investigation of disputed items within 30 days ; however, this has not occurred. If the disputed information can not be verified, it must be removed or corrected. Furthermore, under FCRA Section 1681c, outdated negative information must be removed if it exceeds the seven-year retention period, and I believe some entries on my report may be in violation of this rule. In compliance with FACTA, I am entitled to receive documentation proving the accuracy of these entries, yet I have not received such evidence. Therefore, I formally request that BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE conduct a thorough investigation of these disputed items and, if they can not be verified, remove them from my credit report immediately. If these issues are not resolved in a timely manner, I will pursue further legal action to protect my rights under both federal and state law.

The creditors must provide detailed information on each inquiry, including dates, purposes, and types of credit products involved, furnish relevant application documents, and present evidence of explicit authorization for each inquiry. Please see the attached file for what I am complaining about!

RE : Revocation of Consent to Report Consumer Information & Notice of FCRA Violations Pursuant to multiple federal consumer protection statutes, including the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act ( GLBA ), I hereby assert my rights as a protected consumer and formally notify you of the following : Statutory Basis for Consumer Privacy Protection The FCRA ( 15 U.S.C. 1681 ( a ) ( 4 ) ) explicitly recognizes that consumer reporting agencies must " exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumer 's right to privacy. '' This fundamental protection is reinforced by 15 U.S.C. 6801, which mandates that financial institutions maintain " an affirmative and continuing obligation to respect the privacy of its customers and to protect the security and confidentiality of those customers ' nonpublic personal information. '' Requirement for Written Consumer Consent Under 15 U.S.C. 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ), consumer reports may only be furnished " in accordance with the written instructions of the consumer to whom it relates. '' I hereby affirm that I have not provided written consent to either XXXX, XXXX, or [ XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ] for the reporting of my consumer information. 
Revocation of All Forms of Consent I hereby explicitly revoke any and all forms of consent - whether written, verbal, implied, or otherwise - previously given or assumed by XXXX, XXXX, and [ XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ] regarding the furnishing of my consumer information. 
Violation of Disclosure Requirements Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 6802 ( b ) ( c ), financial institutions are required to provide consumers with " an explanation of how the consumer can exercise that nondisclosure option. '' [ XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX has failed to fulfill this statutory obligation. 
Reporting of Time-Barred Information Furthermore, under 15 U.S.C. 1681c ( a ) ( 5 ), consumer reporting agencies are prohibited from reporting " adverse item [ s ] of information ... which antedate [ ] the report by more than seven years, '' except for criminal convictions. The continued reporting of this account information appears to violate this statutory limitation. 

Given these multiple violations of federal consumer protection laws, I demand immediate cessation of all unauthorized reporting activities and the removal of any improperly reported information from my consumer files. 
This communication should be maintained in your records as evidence of my formal revocation of consent and notice of statutory violations.

Complaint narrative:
This CFPB complaint has been filed to request pursuant to FCRA 605B ( 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2 ) that you, the ( Experian ) credit reporting agency, block information appearing on my consumer credit report that is the result of identity theft and fraud within 4 business days of you receiving this complaint.

I am filing this to report three fraudulent accounts appearing on my consumer FICO Experian credit report which I do not recognize as reported and which are the result of identity theft and fraud. These fraudulent accounts consist of a credit card account opened at XXXX XXXX  on XX/XX/XXXX under the account number XXXX, a credit card account opened at XXXX XXXX XXXX  on XX/XX/XXXX under the account number XXXX for {$9000.00}, and another credit card account opened at XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX under the account number XXXX for {$7800.00}. These accounts have resulted in several fraudulent collections appearing on my consumer credit report. I request the removal of incorrect names, including XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX, from my credit report. I demand that the fraudulent items and incorrect names be removed from each of my consumer credit reports and that all collection activity related to said items cease pursuant to my rights within the FCRA and FDCPA laws. 

These accounts have resulted in several fraudulent chargeoffs, fraudulent late payments, and fraudulent collections appearing on my consumer FICO credit report. I do not recognize the aforementioned accounts, collections, late payments, or chargeoffs as reported. The aforementioned accounts, collections, and chargeoffs appearing on my consumer credit report maintained by you were not opened, made, or initiated by me. All of the aforementioned accounts, collections, late payments, and charge-offs are the result of identity theft and fraud. I have attached a copy of FTC Identity Theft Criminal Complaint # ( XXXX ) as proof from the XXXX Federal Trade Commission that all of the aforementioned consumer credit accounts, collections, and hard inquiries are the result of identity theft and fraud. I demand that the aforementioned fraudulent items be removed from my consumer credit report and that all collection activity related to said items cease pursuant to my rights within the FCRA and FDCPA laws.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX a full account XXXX transfer took place to which my entire portfolio was sent over to another brokerage. Shortly after, {$2.00} remained in the account from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX - despite me informing the brokerage that they should send the funds either to the address on file or via ACH transfer. I was unable to do so since I verified with them that the account was closed XX/XX/XXXX. 

Fast forwarding to XX/XX/XXXX - a distribution in the amount of {$14.00} was made into my closed account. On XX/XX/XXXX there was a {$10.00} fee imposed followed by another on XX/XX/XXXX. And on XX/XX/XXXX - a distribution of {$110.00} was made into my closed account. On XX/XX/XXXX there was a {$10.00} fee imposed. Since I had time to notice the deductions, I re-informed the brokerage that I would like all distributions of this closed account be sent to the address on file in the form of a check. 

However, they had refused, informed me that the only way I can transfer these funds out is to re-open the account and then make a transfer. While hesitant to do so ( given the technical glitches I previously encountered with their platform ), these funds were substantial, so I requested that they re-open the account. After going back and forth for some time, I finally requested an ACH transfer of the remaining funds.

Complaint narrative:
" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence, which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for each account listed without my expressed written consent.

I looked at my consumer reports and noticed accounts I never gave anyone permission to report. Consumer reporting agencies have assumed a vital role and have a responsibility to report consumer information to the best of their ability with maximum possible accuracy like the Fair Credit Reporting Act clearly states. I did not provide written consent to report them. List all accounts : "
