Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports: Credit reporting
Problem with personal statement of dispute
Complaint: I am a XXXX XXXX in the country of XXXX who presently has permanent residence in New Jersey. I used my Barclays XXXX XXXX credit card to purchase my return airline ticket and for some reason my XXXXXXXX XXXX did not pay the charge automatically as set up. Barclays refuses to make a 1 time exception to remove the delinquency from my CBR as it has affected my score adversely. As you are aware credit score is imperative in society and being a XXXX preparing to become a XXXX my score is critical. Additionally, I paid the same second I received an email and a letter at home stating my delinquency. I would question why they would wait 3 months to notify me of delinquency and not sooner.Perhaps the late fee of {$37.00} a month is a common practice to destroy ones credit and increase income for the bank. My intention was not to be delinquent as I have never been and would have paid this immediately if I knew.I can only imagine how many customers this has happened to in the past. Please help as I need credit and only doing the right thing in today 's world.

Fees or interest
Credit card or prepaid card: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Problem with fees
Complaint: To Whom it May Concern, I am writing in regard to my original complaint, XX/XX/XXXX. In my original complaint, I communicated that I was told my transfer did not occur. I asked for the recording to be reviewed, because I was told time and again the transfer showed it did not happen, and that all of the fees should be returned to me. I waited for this to be corrected. I was assured by the management team on the phone that they were working to achieve this. So I waited. As interest accrued on my account, I was concerned ; which I communicated on every call. Now, because I was told this was going to be corrected, {$3800.00} worth of fees, and interest were assigned to my account I asked that the calls be pulled, and listened to, in an effort to have the facts confirmed, as this was a conversation in each call. In the letter dated XX/XX/XXXX from the office of the president, it states my call could not be substantiated. Moreover you will find a letter for a bank transfer we completed on XX/XX/XXXX for a completely separate 0 % transfer, from Barclays. I never received a letter like this for the transfer I am disputing.
I had to go through the action of closing my account, just so I could capture confirmation that every call is recorded. You will read ( and hear ) in the call I recorded that there are notes stating I was told this was an error.
Not only is Barclays withholding the interest in the amount of {$3800.00} ; they held a {$34000.00} over payment from my company for 7 weeks. They would not allow me to utilize the credit, nor did they return the finds in a timely manner. I had to call every week for seven weeks to receive my money back. During each call, I was told a different story. This is scribed, and included in the audio I am attaching.
I have scribed the conversations supporting my claim, along with the recorded conversation.
In fact, there was a supervisor I named in my original report, XXXX who confirmed on XX/XX/XXXX I would receive my money back. You will hear XXXX on the recorded audio stating every single call is recorded. This would include hers on XX/XX/XXXX.
I continued using my Barclays business credit card, and as I charged, I would pay the balance I charge in full. The interest accrued is all from the transfer that I was told should not have happened.
There have been several news stories, where banking facilities have taken advantage of consumers. I would like to have my interest back. I should never have had to pay it. The bank should have, after listening to all of my calls ; simply refunded this.
I own a small business, and am completely shocked that a large banking facility would work so hard to undermine a consumer by misleading them, so they can capture interest.
Respectfully, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Debt collection: Credit card debt
Threatened to sue you for very old debt
Complaint: XX/XX/XXXX, family member contacted by a company called XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX regarding a credit card from XXXX. Account has been written off a long time ago. She gave an amount and said she was calling in behalf of Bank of Barclays. sHe did give me a supposed balance due and a settlement amount figure. As I asked more about this debt, she became very rude. Then she said I had a choice to settle or go to court. I was being served if I didn't handle debt today. I was hung up on as I asked more details on who the debtor originally was with and can i have a contact number. I called back to speak with the person and she proceeded to tell me she was not up for discussion. All information was verified and they were going to serve me. Believing this is a collection company trying to strong arm me into paying them something because they bought the bad debt. i agreed to pay a settlement amount and set up payments. a form was sent via XXXX and i signed it thinking everything was legit and money would be drafted. today i received a called from unknown that says : This is XXXX with XXXX XXXX contacting me on a complaint case. She said i had discussed with them on arrangements of XXXX. ( I intentionally scheduled payments on paydays to make sure funds was in the account. ) She stated the case is now active again because the installment was declined. if i don't contact them by XXXX to settle, i will need to appear in court. they left a number of XXXX ext XXXX. This number does not even work. I have called multiple times from different phones. Now I think, I have been set up and this is a scam.

Problem with fees
Complaint: I wanted to close my AAdvantage Aviator red master ( through Barcays company ). I called XX/XX/XXXX. I said I want to close my card, and could I have the balanace so I can pay it all off. I was told my balance was {$110.00}. I was told I had to call a different number to close the account, and I would need my checking account routing number so I could send in the payment ASAP. I went home ( I called from work ) I called back with my check routing number, I gave it and gave permission to send {$110.00} in to company. I then closed my card that same night. The amount was withdrawn from my checking XX/XX/XXXX. I got a letter in the mail, about a week or week & half later ( dated XX/XX/XXXX ) saying " as requested we closed your AAdvantage aviator red world master cardXX/XX/XXXX account. The balance on your account as of XX/XX/XXXX is {$210.00}. '' I was shocked. I called customer service ans spoke to 2 different people. One explained when I called on XX/XX/XXXX I was only given the XX/XX/XXXX balance. I asked " why would you only give me XX/XX/XXXX balance when I was trying to close my card. I explained it was their mistake, and they said no it wasn't their fault and I only asked for XX/XX/XXXX balance ... .which I know isn't true. Nothing got resolved from that phone call. I then sent in a payment of XXXX for the remainder of the XXXX. It was withdrawn XX/XX/XXXX. So i thought I was done and paid my balance. Since then I have gotten 2 more bills for late fees that have incurred since my first XX/XX/XXXX attempt to close this account. I get phone calls from them sometimes 2x a day asking me to call them about my balance. My XX/XX/XXXX statement was for {$110.00} with a {$41.00} interest/late fee. I got a bill XX/XX/XXXX for {$150.00} with a {$39.00} late interest fee. my XX/XX/XXXX statement was {$44.00} where I had a {$1.00} interest charge but no late fee. I did just get an XX/XX/XXXX statement for {$73.00} with {$28.00} late/interest fees. I feel if I called XX/XX/XXXX, and they had given me my entire amount THEN, I would have paid off the balance in FULL, and not have gotten all of these late fees.

Can't close your account
Complaint: To whom it may concern, I am very distressed having to write this letter but I see no other way to resolve this issue. On XX/XX/XXXX I decided to get a loan to pay off my credit cards. My Barclay card was to be paid off at XXXX dollars. The bank distributed the checks to the various creditors ; I provide the statement payment stubs with the corresponding envelopes. Somehow the Barclay payment never made it were it was going. All payments were made with official bank checks. When I received my XX/XX/XXXX bill from Barclay I noticed the {$3100.00} payment was not there. I just figured it had not posted yet. When I got my XX/XX/XXXX bill and it still hadn't posted I contacted my bank they retrieved the canceled check and called Barclay. The bank has faxed and emailed the canceled check to Barclay several times. Barclay finally came up with the answer that the check had gone to the wrong bank, were some of their accounts had been sold too. The bank and I have been calling Barclay Almost every week to no avail. I was told in XX/XX/XXXX when the investigation started I would not be charged late fees or interest until the matter was solved. I on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXXBarclay called 5 to 6 times I returned their called assuming they were going to tell me the problem was solved, they informed me I owed them a XXXX past due payment .I informed them as far as I was concerned they were paid off I have a canceled check made out to Barclay . We have been dealing with this since XX/XX/XXXX every time you call them you get someone different to speak too, the last supervisor I spoke to tried to get a specialist to speak to me, he was told none were available. I really need help resolving this matter ; it is putting a strain on my mental health and my marriage Thank you for your time, XXXX XXXX

Charged too much interest
Complaint: I have a credit card account open with Barclay card. I stopped using it around XX/XX/XXXX or XX/XX/XXXX. The balance at that time was {$2700.00}. I have been making a payment of ~ {$70.00} every month for 6 years for a total of approximately {$4900.00}. In that time only {$600.00} has been applied to my balance. My credit card still has a balance of {$2000.00}. They have charged me approximately {$4300.00} in interest on an original debt of {$2700.00}. I have paid them close to double the amount of the original debt, yet only {$600.00} has been applied to my balance. I have called and they will not work with me.

Privacy issues
Complaint: On XX/XX/2019 I received a letter from one of my credit card companies named " BARCLAYS ''. I'm not a new card holder with BARCLAYS, but I've been holding their card for many years. I was shocked that Barclays was the ONLY bank from the banks I hold their cards, asking me to confirm my name, physical address, and the thing that offended me the most is questioning my citizenship ( see their attached letter/copy ). I took offence because they are claiming the USA Patriot Act is the reason for their questioning, at the same time, NO other banks sent me such letter and I have few credit cards! I want your office to understand that I don't have checking, saving or any other accounts with Barclays except the credit card ending in XXXX. I'm the sole user of the card that I been carrying for few years. I'm not convinced that EVERYONE that is a credit card holder with Barclays was mailed this exact letter. My belief tells me this is a " Racial Profiling '' case. I'm wondering if my name for example was " XXXX XXXX '', would I have received such a letter? I am a U.S. citizen living in the U.S. for the past 38 years. I'm filing this complaint with your office with the recommendation of State of Minnesota Office of The Attorney General, to investigate if Barclays sent this exact letter to ALL of their credit card holders OR only a selected few. As you can see in their letter, in bold lettering they are threatening to close the account by XX/XX/2019 if I refuse to submit the information. I'm more than happy to close the account myself if indeed it turns out to be racial profiling. Thank You.

Charged too much interest
Complaint: I contacted my credit card company and asked for a reduction in my very high interest rate of XXXX. I explained my financial hardship and spoke to XXXX different customer reps. I am a single mom with XXXX children. I am paying so much in interest that I will never pay this card off. I'm frustrated because I want to pay off my debt. I was told that I need to be delinquent before they can help me. I asked for a payment plan where I can pay around XXXX dollars a month and get this paid off asap. I also said if they needed to close my account to do this, I was willing to do that. They said I had excellent history but had no offers at this time to help me. They also didn't want to lose me as a customer. I have tried numerous times to work with them. Do I need to not pay my bill to get help?? Please help me.

Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Complaint: i placed an order with XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/19 {$110.00} using my Barclay 's credit card. I did not hear from XXXX so began emailing them on XX/XX/19 and 2 other emails ; no response. I then called phone number and got a recorded it was disconnected. I immediately called Barclay 's to report a fraud. They acknowledged my dispute with a letter on XX/XX/19. Subsequently, i did receive a package from XXXX but it did not contain the correct size i had ordered ( i ordered a womens size XXXX and got some type of extremely small size that i could not even pull up over my thigh, and i am XXXX '' weigh XXXX ), and i rec 'd this package after i filed dispute, after i emailed the company to stop my order. i suspect the company shipped whatever was on their shelf after i filed the dispute. on XX/XX/19 i recd a call from Barclays, who said they could not help me on the dispute and were processing the charge because the client shipped something. nevermind that what they shipped was not correct and their phone number is disconnected and they dont ' respond to email. all disregarded by Barclays phone rep, XXXX with Barclays said i had to take it up with XXXX XXXX. Well, how can i do that, no phone number and no email address. i think they are bankrupt or something. why would barclays not do a charge back for a clear fraud situation. they could have shipped me a toothpick and barclays says well they shipped you a package, so now you have to resolve. makes no sense. surely we have better consumer protection laws than this. why would Barclays ' support fraud by paying them. anything i can do?

Can't close your account
Complaint: In XX/XX/2019, I received a Barclays AAdvantage Aviator Red Mastercard in the mail. Upon opening and reading the associated terms and conditions, I saw that there was an annual fee of {$95.00} that I was responsible for paying to use the card and account.
In that same month and for months after on four separate occasions, I have contacted card services at XXXX to close this account. I never activated this Mastercard and have tried to close the account several times only to keep receiving statements to pay the {$95.00} annual fee as a balance. Most recently, on the date of XXXX XXXX, 2019, I was sent a letter from Barclays notifying me that my account was closed on XXXX XXXX, 2019, but that as of XXXX XXXX, 2019 there was a transaction balance of {$95.00}. XXXX in purchases even though the account was closed and the XXXX was never activated, nor had any purchases associated with it. Moreover, I believe that there may be some unethical practices used by Barclays to list this fee as a purchases balance therefore subjecting the balance to interest and late charges even though once again the card was never activated or used for purchases, and immediate actions were made to close the account by me.
According to the Fair Credit Billing Act, I've formally disputed this with a written letter to Barclay 's using certified mail, and included all letters and statements sent. The letter was delivered on XXXX XXXX, 2019 and they wrote a response on XXXX XX/XX/XXXX which leads me to believe it was never investigated. All correspondence mentioned is provided as attachments.
