Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
Four fraudulent transactions totaling XXXX posted to my account in XXXX. I was not alerted to three, and they cleared right away. I received a text alert for the fourth and discovered the others ( for XXXX, XXXX and XXXX, all to the same company ) when I opened my online account. I reported all four immediately. Within the next few days Barclays reversed the charges twice. When I tried to pay my XXXX legitimate charges of XXXX, I could not because the card had been stopped, and the erroneous credit wiped out the legitimate purchases. I tried to pay what I knew I owed online and was repeatedly denied. Over the next few weeks I made dozens of phone calls, some of which were dropped by the representative, others that made me wait over an hour for a representative to pick up, to try to pay my bill and get the duplicate credit removed. Barclays solution was to offer me a check refund of the remaining credit which I agreed to and put in escrow. Meanwhile I could not pay my {$120.00} XXXX bill as well. I was unable to pay anything until the XXXX bill, when I paid the few charges I made after receiving my new card. In XXXX the fraudulent charges reappeared. Although no representatives have been able to explain why themselves, after several more calls I figured out that Barclays is trying to claw back the legitimate purchases that were wiped out by their erroneous credit and the amount of the refund check. I asked for an accurate bill reflecting this so that I would not be paying the fraudulent charges. Today I received a letter referencing my " credit report dispute '' and that Barclays is amending their report to credit agencies. I have no idea what is in my credit report and never disputed it. I just want an accurate bill and I do not want to pay fraudulent charges that Barclays already acknowledged I do not owe. Today I mailed Barclays three separate checks, for the two months activity I legitimately owe, and for the escrow amount, which they should receive well before the XXXX due date. I always pay my bills in full. I have closed the account. I fear how Barclays handles fraud. I was not timely alerted to significant fraud ; after my reporting Barclays wrongly credited me disabling my ability to pay my bill ; apparently Barclays then made a negative report to credit agencies ; and to date Barclays still does not acknowledge the mistakes they made and what I truly owe.

Complaint narrative:
I received the feedback from california business bureau in and they said that I have to submit them a proof that I paid my bill at the XXXX  XXXX and They said I need to submit a proof of that which is impossible because I already paid my bill at the XXXX XXXXXXXX 7 years ago. I don't know why the XXXX XXXX  sent me a bill on XX/XX/XXXX claiming that I owe them on XXXX. I received another letter from california business bureau stating that I have a debt at XXXX XXXX and they are charging me a different amount. I already paid my bills at the XXXX XXXXXXXX 7 years ago, so the amount that they are charging me is not my debt.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute inaccurate information that has been reported on my credit report. I recently obtained a copy of my Equifax credit report and discovered an entry that pertains to an account with XXXX XXXX. I would like to bring to your attention that this account is fraudulent and has been inaccurately reported on my credit profile. 

Upon further investigation, it has come to my attention that XXXX XXXX is not registered with the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  or any state entity, which raises concerns about the legitimacy of the reported account. Given this, I am inclined to believe that this account is the result of identity theft or some form of fraudulent activity as I have previously reported. 

I request your immediate assistance in rectifying this situation. 
It is deeply concerning to me that inaccurate information has found its way onto my credit report and was able to go unnoticed for such a period of time, potentially affecting my financial standing. I trust that Equifax and CFPB will handle this matter with the urgency and professionalism it deserves.

Company: Navient Solutions, LLC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Dear CPFB : I submitted a complaint to your office about Navient. The ID # is XXXX. Navient replied, but they did NOT answer my direct and explicit question that asked " how many months was I in Forbearance status since loan inception? '' Instead, Navient replied that I was enrolled in their Income Based Repayment status with their records reflecting " that you have made 48 qualifying payments towards Income Based Repayment ( IBR ) loan forgiveness to date. '' I asked them " what time is it? '' They responded with " 82 degrees and sunny. '' So, I called to ask this un-anwered question, and was told that I was in Forbearance status for 30 months since loan inception. 

I formally ask Navient to convert these 30 months of Forbearance status to that of IBR, and to make any retroactive adjustments of accrued interest related to this conversion. 

Why? Because I spoke to Navient about repayment options throughout the years. During these calls, I was pushed, pointed, promoted and steered countless times toward Forbearance rather than Income Based Repayment. Why? Because, simply put, Forbearance is very much to Navient 's advantage, while Income Based Repayment- in stark contrast is to the consumer 's ( mine ), since IBR allows for a consumer to have their loan forgiven 20 years after enrolling in such a program if they keep up with minimum payments ( even if those payments are {$0.00}. ) Hence, Navient defaulted to promoting THEIR self-interest in the form of Forbearance without disclosing all options in full to me, the borrower. 

In fact, I was told by a supervisory rep of Navient on the phone on XX/XX/2023 that " Navient policy is to advise of IBR prior to offering Forbearance ; Forbearance is the last option, but some reps have not always advised the borrower of this. '' Their policy was conveniently self-serving, and I suffer as a result. My student loan has ballooned to unmanageable levels that effectively drown my future financial wellbeing. At its origin, the principal amount was around {$62000.00}, and I have made payments over the years totaling {$35000.00}. My present amount owed? 

{$100000.00} Again, I ask that Navient convert my 30 months of Forbearance to that of IDR, and to make any retroactive adjustments of accrued interest related to this conversion. This request is based on their purposeful obfuscation of borrower options that is at best unethical and at worst illegal.

Complaint narrative:
Hello, I have an issue with some unauthorized transactions that occurred on mu chime account that i did not authorize and followed chimes policy on how to report these unauthorized transactions when they occurred yet they never helped me recovered my funds. Each time I submitted a claim a day or 2 later they would deny them. Which i felt was not enough time to investigate fully these transactions. I had given up on trying to recover my funds because i felt powerless against them but after adding the transactions, its came up to a pretty hefty amount for me just to let go. Ive had issues with this merchant before and ive advided chime about it so i dont understand why they let the transactions go through and why they dont help on recovering my funds. I clearly sent them an email of someone logging into my account again somewhere in XXXX XXXX Ca which is nowhere near where i reside in XXXX XXXX ca. Can you please help recover my funds please? The reason they gave me when denying my claims was that it shows that i had done business with the merchant before which i totally false because every transaction to that merchant i have submitted a claim for and they always deny it so they are just being unfair and wrong. The following are the transactions in question. Thank you All for the merchant chaturbill- XX/XX/XXXX {$49.00} XX/XX/XXXX {$79.00} XX/XX/XXXX {$79.00} XX/XX/XXXX {$62.00} XX/XX/XXXX {$62.00} XX/XX/XXXX {$79.00} XX/XX/XXXX {$19.00}
