Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
At the register I stated to the cashier I already had a credit card and needed my account to be looked up since I did not have my physical card in my possession. The cashier prompted me to type in my SSN which is normal for an account look up. I repeated to the cashier I already had a card once again. The screen prompt asked me for my income which once more had me tell the cashier I do not want a new card I already have one. He typed in something for the question of my income on my behalf without my permission as he assured me he cancelled the application. Now I received a credit card in the mail. I repeatedly stated to the cashier I did not want a card and did not want to apply as I already posses an old navy credit card.

Company: Grain Technology, Inc.
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
Late last year in XXXX I heard about a company named Grain, an App that could assist you with increasing your credit score. At the time I was looking for products to do just that, I debated for a bit because this particular company requires a down payment. Eventually I went ahead and moved forward I signed up and gave a security deposit of {$150.00}, the idea is you are borrowing against your own money and they report it as a trade line to the bureaus to assist with your credit. Everything was okay at first until one day my bank account which must be synced was disconnected. Grain has essentially poor communication with their customers, I found this out when the issues raised. Due to the lack of real communication and explanation of why my account would disconnect or why I wouldnt be able to log in at times payments would have issues because the only way to make payment would be via autopay with synced account, or through the app to my knowledge. Grain started to report me to the bureaus for late payments in the midst of me emailing them for assistance to get access to my account to make payments. They have virtually no response to emails outside of copy paste, their number doesnt give live agent access. If you dispute them with the bureaus you get no response from this creditor they just respond to the bureaus again with inaccuracies, The bureaus keep allowing them to report inaccurate information even when I provided proof. I even reported them to XXXX  and they were dishonest about following up with me repeatedly. Fast forward to this month they took {$120.00} from my bank after reporting my account as a charge off and still not responding to my correspondences. No explanation, my account is now paid in full and they refuse to update the bureaus with accurate information that the account is paid in full they refuse to delete the accounts from the bureaus and they refuse to return the security deposit. I dispute this with the bureaus and provided proof that they are indeed not reporting correctly and the bureaus still wont correct the information and are allowing inaccurate information to be reported! After doing research I should have done from the beginning I realized I am not the first customer to experience this with this company or the bureaus in relation to this company! They have ruined my credit history, essentially stole my money and at this time seem illegitimate. So I am reporting them in hopes that they stop this poor practice of false reporting and not communicating, or validation of the information they send. The bureaus are investigation must be more thorough to determine what is legitimate and what is not this is unacceptable.
