Barclays PLC Credit Card Complaint

Identity theft / Fraud / Embezzlement

Barclays PLC Credit card department,

Identity theft / Fraud / Embezzlement California

Barclaycard has " conducted an investigation '' internally into my issue and did absolutely nothing. The company is perpetuating fraud openly now with full knowledge that this account is not mine and have sent me a letter acknowledging the fraud. The company was made aware of a fraudulent account underneath my name and social security number earlier this year and the account is STILL OPEN. I filed a complaint on here and their representative called me, told me there is nothing they will do without further proof of my case and are still actively reporting a fraudulent account as one that is valid underneath my social security number. I have now placed extended fraud alerts on every credit bureau and will be pursuing legal action against this company. For any potential consumers out there here is what happened to me : Barclaycard began reporting a fraudulent account underneath my name and after I called in no less than 10 times to report this the account was kept open and reported on my credit reports with my social security number. After filing a complaint on here, a company representative called me and told me that they would conduct an investigation. They took 1 DAY to go through months of calls and openly accused me of committing fraud using this fraudulent card I never opened or wanted with their company. For any potential consumers stay as far away from this company as possible. There were multiple cases of fraud committed by someone using my social security number and each and every other company I have dealt with was helpful and wonderful with assisting me. Barclaycard is a perfect representation for what is wrong with the credit card industry. They are the worst company I have ever dealt with and will now be pursuing legal action against them for fraud.
