Consumer complaint received 2018-11-13
Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: TN
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: Store credit card
Issue: Fees or interest
Sub-issue: Problem with fees

Complaint:
XXXX XXXX offers a credit card to help pay for items in the store with 0 % interest for the first 12 months. The credit line is offered through XXXX. After 12 months, instead of applying interest from Day 366 on, they apply the interest accrued from Day 1 to  your next bill. However unclear this was to my wife and I when we got the card, the real issue is in the handling credit institution 's communication of our statements and bills. 

The only place that you can find the expiration date for the promotion is in the billing statements, which is not in the same location on the site as the billing / payments portion of the site. Meaning, if you opt for paperless billing ( which we have ) and you don't know where to find this information, you will not receive a notification of when this amount will apply to your bill prior to the bill that shows up with a hefty sum of interest that's been accruing in the background for the previous 12 months. For XXXX XXXX to offer this 0 % interest for 12 months deal, but not clearly define the parameters, is shady. One might expect me to keep my eye on the calendar, or mark the final due date. But I work in communications, and I know that it's the communicating party 's responsibility to offer this information explicitly if they are the ones offering the deal. 

My situation : I aimed to pay this bill off over the course of a 12 month period, not knowing exactly when that 12 months would expire, since I thought I would be notified at some point that the promotion was ending soon. On my latest bill, I should have owed {$220.00}, but the bill instead was for {$440.00} which includes the interest accrued from the last year. I called the company to ask them to remove the interest from the bill, and explained that I wasn't notified of the promotion ending soon, but they didn't care, and weren't helpful. The promotion ended on XX/XX/2018 and I paid the {$220.00} today, XX/XX/2018. With little more than a month passed, surely I'm liable to receive some grace? 

One should expect, in this 2018 world of AI and automation technology, that if a company is offering paperless billing at some point in the payment process or notification process associated with that billing the customer should be offered some notification of when their promotion is ending. Then again, I suppose I should expect no less from a company that's only interested in taking my money, and any interest they can apply to it. That doesn't make it right, and it doesn't mean that companies like this shouldn't be held accountable for their disinterest in providing transparency for their customers.

State: OH
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
I was surprised and concerned, as I have consistently made timely payments on this account. initially contacted XXXX XXXX  ACCOUNT NUMBER ( XXXX ) on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX XX/XX/XXXX via phone call and email I explained that the late payment entry appeared to be an error and requested its removal. 
The erroneous late payment entry has negatively impacted my credit score, which has negative consequences, higher interest rates, loan denial etc...

This situation has also caused significant personal stress and anxiety to me due to its potential long-term financial implications.

I do not recall receiving such notice regarding the late payment reported on my account, as required by this statute. The absence of this notification is concerning and raises questions about the compliance of your ( their ) reporting practices with federal law. In light of these legal requirements, I am requesting, Proof of compliance with the notification requirement under 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 7 ), specifically evidence that your institution provided me with the required written notice regarding the negative information furnished to the credit bureau ( s ).

A thorough verification of the late payment entry. If this late payment can not be verified, or if it was reported without complying with the notification requirements, I request its immediate removal from my credit report.

My request is based on specific provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), namely 15 U.S.C. 1681a ( 2 ) ( A ) ( 1 ), 15 U.S.C. 1637b, and 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 7 ).

Under 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 7 ) ( A ), as a financial institution regularly furnishing information to consumer reporting agencies, you are required to provide written notice to the customer before or within 30 days of furnishing any negative information. This notice is critical for ensuring that consumers are aware of and can respond to reported negative credit events.

Complaint:
These disputes have been escalated several times, and I have provided extensive documentation to support my claims. However, despite my efforts and the escalation of these matters, the inaccurate late payment accounts persist on my credit reports. I was the victim and Im not sure why the CRA is not complying with the law. The other bureaus have followed suit. Im very confused why this one seems to ignore my requests. I am concerned that despite my continued efforts to resolve these issues, the inaccuracies in reporting have not been rectified. I question why your bureau has not conducted a thorough investigation into the validity of the late payment accounts and failed to provide accurate information on my credit reports. The lack of resolution suggests a deficiency in your investigative processes. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX - Those payments were made on time. I am requesting that the late payment markings be updated to reflect my accurate payment history. 
I am aware that under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are obligated to conduct reasonable investigations into disputed information. I am troubled by the apparent failure of your bureau to fulfill this obligation, resulting in the continued reporting of inaccurate information.
