Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, while traveling in XXXX, XXXX my wallet was stolen while on the subway. When I returned to my hotel I called and reported my cards stolen and cancelled my accounts with XXXX XXXX  XXXX  and Barclays Aviator American Airlines AAdvantage. At this time the thieves had already made XXXX charges which when questioned I told the phone representative from Barclays I had not made and they said they would remove these charges and a new was card was issued. 
When I returned home by XX/XX/XXXX and checked by account the fraudulent charges did not appear on my statement. However later XX/XX/XXXX I was sent a letter from Barclays stating that they had conducted an investigation and the charges would be returned to by bill. Subsequently, the XXXX charges : XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX for {$1700.00} and XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX for {$1400.00} re-appeared on my account. 
I spoke at length with Barclays XX/XX/XXXX and was under the impression that a new investigation was being opened. I also called back again later in XXXX and was told I had to wait 30 days. 
I reported both transactions as fraud on my online account. I also sent a number of messages on my online account and received similar information. 
Today, XX/XX/XXXX, I again called and was told no new investigation had been started in XXXX, and that they would start a new one today with the # XXXX and this may take another 30 days to complete. 
At this time I am reaching out to you for assistance, as I strongly feel that I should not have to pay these fradulent charges and am frustrated with Barclays handling of this entire matter, as well as charging my account interest on these charges. 
Look forward to hearing from you

Company: CITIZENS FINANCIAL GROUP, INC.
State: CT

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year> I opened a checking account with citizens Bank to take advantage of a {$300.00} bonus offered to new applicants. A after opening the account I received the debit card in the mail but just a few days later I also received a credit card that I never applied for knowingly. I called the bank and told the staff member on the line that I never applied for a credit card. They told me that there was a box checked off in the online application that signed me up for credit card as well. I was careful in applying for this checking account and I had no idea that there was even an option to sign up for a credit card application. If I knew I would not have checked off any other boxes. I want to close the account but I know that if I close the account it will have negative impact on my credit score. The Bank wasnt able to confirm the extent of the negative impact that would occur if I closed my account. So now out of prudence I am forced to keep this credit card account open.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the unavailability of my credit data from your bureau. As a diligent consumer who consistently monitors their credit profile, I am troubled by the recent discovery that vital information seems to be missing from your records. Despite being proactive in managing my finances and ensuring timely payments on all accounts, I have encountered significant hurdles due to the absence of my credit data from your bureau. This has not only caused inconvenience but has also put me in a precarious position, especially concerning recent financial transactions and loan applications. I have made numerous attempts to address this issue through your customer service channels, but regrettably, the resolution process has been slow and ineffective. As a result, I find myself facing unnecessary challenges in accessing essential financial services and opportunities.

Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive notice of right to dispute
Company: The Law Offices of Mitchell D. Bluhm & Associates
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
A collection was added to my XXXX report for and lists MBA law as the original creditor opened on XX/XX/year> in the amount of {$1200.00}. I was unaware of this being on my credit report until months later. I did not know who MBA law is and they did not contact me about the collection until XX/XX/year>. At the time of this call, the agent informed me that this collection will not be reported to my credit. Once i received a notification that there was a change to my credit score in late XXXX, I called MBA and they said I was misinformed and that the report was eligible to go on my credit report. On that call, I requested a verification of the debt that they claimed I owed and they had told me I would receive that documentation in the mail within 3 weeks. It is 2 months later and I still have not received any of that documentation. This seems like a very dodgy company and their agents have not provided the requested documentation in verifying this debt. After reading about similar experiences from other XXXX complaints, I do not feel MBA law to be a legitimate collector and I am seriously alarmed at their practices in collecting debt. I am filing a complaint with the CFPB for suspicious/illegal collecting practices. 

The fact that I was not contacted by MBA law until AFTER I was notified of the collections, that I was told that it would not go onto my credit report, and that they have failed to provide any details whatsoever about the debt raises very serious concerns about their legitimacy and collections practices. 

A debt collector, in collecting a debt, may not use any false, deceptive, or misleading representation. Specifically, a debt collector may not falsely represent the character, amount, or legal status of the debt, or of any services rendered, or compensation he or she may receive for collecting the debt. A debt collector may not communicate, or threaten to communicate, false credit information or information that should be known to be false, including not identifying disputed debts as such. This would fall under the erroneous representation that this debt would not be reported to my credit.

This collections account is illegitimate and I want this account removed immediately from my credit report and I want correspondence confirming that the account has been closed.
