Barclays Credit Card Complaint

Identity theft / Fraud / Embezzlement

Barclays Credit card department,

Identity theft / Fraud / Embezzlement Massachusetts

There was over $4500.00 in fradulent changes made on my credit card without my knowledge. The credit card company, BacklayCard, changed my address to - - -, -, MA without my authorization so I was n't aware of these changes. I never lived at this address so they should n't have changed my address. I was contacted by a collections agency several months later trying to recover the funds. At the time I let them now these are fraudulent changes and asked them to to put me in touch with the credit card company ( when I call directly I get automatically transferred to the collection agency. ) They refused but said they would let the credit card company know and they would contact me directly within the next - days. A month later I was contacted by a different credit collections company. I told them the same thing and they refused to put me in contact the credit card company unless I had a police report. I filed police report and faxed them a copy. However I just checked my credit report and these charges are still showing as past due. This is now preventing me from getting a car loan because it 's significantly impacting my credit score. I could use some help getting this resolved asap. In summary, I did not make these and the bill was sent to the wrong address without my authorization so I was n't aware of the charges. Now the credit card company wo n't speak with me and they keep sending me directly to a collection agency. I filed a police reporting regarding the incident and faxed it to the collections agency but the charges are still showing past due and it 's significantly impacting my credit score. I do n't know who to send this to at BarclaysCard to get these charges removed and my credit score repaired asap. Thanks for your help!
