Company: SUNRISE CREDIT SERVICES, INC
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
We called and cancelled our the XXXX XXXX trial XX/XX/2022 which was within the first 30 day trial period XXXX talked us into trying. We were then charged {$100.00} the first month, called to cancel again, and were charged {$100.00} again for another month. We never used the service once and cancelled within the first 30 days but were incorrectly billed still. I talked to XXXX several times trying to get this charge reversed and they agreed that the charges were not valid but that they had no ability to reduce the charges since we were cancelling all of our services with them and were showing a past due balance. This was fraudulent/unauthorized charges from XXXX and they even stated this as well. This has now been sent to collections with Sunrise Credit Services who I disputed the charges with also. They said XXXX is validating the overcharge now since they don't know when we requested to have the TV service cancelled.

Issue: Problem when making payments — Problem during payment process
Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
The problem is- Barclays cashed a payment check in amount of {$170.00} and did not credit the account. They have also ignored communication asking them to apply the credit. Essentially, they cashed the check and kept the money. 

In case Barclays responds with we credited the account for {$170.00} I want to clarify something please. XXXX payments of {$170.00} were made. XXXX were electronic via the Barclays website. The third was a check. The XXXX electronic transactions went through as expected, on XX/XX/XXXX and XXXXXXXX XXXX. The third ( the check ) was cashed by Barclays on XX/XX/XXXX but not applied to the account. 

If that is all the information you need you may stop reading. : - ) However, here is further background in case it is relevant This is the third time something like this has happened with Barclays! It can no longer be called a coincidence. I am concerned that this could be happening to other customers too, who might end up paying Barclays twice. I know thats what would have happened with my elderly mother. ( She is the primary on the account and I am an authorized user. ) She would have sent a second check for {$170.00}. However I am assisting her affairs now so I was able to catch it. 

Similarly to the recent missing {$170.00}, the other XXXX times this happened a check was cashed but then the money seemed to disappear. Both times it was difficult and stressful getting Barclays to finally acknowledge the checks and credit the account. Were talking persistence being required. Phone calls and letters and waiting more phone calls and letters ( that they would say they never received ) and more waiting. My XXXX XXXX XXXX mother had to be involved in making some of these phone calls before it could finally be resolved. 

( I should add that the phone number, address of where to send correspondence regarding errors as well as the fax number were accurately obtained from the bill itself. ) Alas, after the first XXXX problems with Barclays, my mom insisted on sticking with them so she could keep on earn points. Which brings us to the recent missing {$170.00} Over the past XXXX month I have sent XXXX faxes, each with images of the cashed check and a request to please credit the account. Barclays has not responded. This time around I wanted to avoid the phone calls and letters because previously those methods sent me in time consuming frustrating circles. 

An additional aspect of this problem is that I think it is unfair to put an elderly woman in a situation where she is expected to navigate complexities in order to get her payment credited. I see this as perpetrating financial fraud against an elderly person, or anyone for that matter. 

Thank you.
