Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: GA
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: Store credit card
Issue: Problem when making payments
Sub-issue: Problem during payment process

Complaint:
When I make an online payment it tells me that my balance is one price ; however, it is higher than the balance that they project online. For example, my online payment was a minimum of {$35.00}, I paid the minimum but I am getting outrageous phone calls from comenity saying that my account is past due. In actually, that isn't true because I paid what they had online. When I call them and see why my account is delinquent, it's because my payment was higher than what was shown online. It was {$50.00}, not {$35.00}. So now I owe, $ 50+ {$39.00} late fee= 79. I explained to them that isn't fair because I did my part. I have pictures to send.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
The credit bureaus keep disrespecting the laws. I showed them multiple times how they violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act. 
According to 15 USC 1681i ( 5 ) the credit bureaus must modify or delete accounts that are not reporting accurately. According to 15 USC 1681b ( 1 ) the credit bureaus do not have written permission. According to 15 USC 1681 I have the right to privacy.

According to 15 USC 1681s-2 A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate. ( B ) Reporting information after notice and confirmation of errors A person shall not furnish information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if ( i ) the person has been notified by the consumer, at the address specified by the person for such notices, that specific information is inaccurate ; and ( ii ) the information is, in fact, inaccurate ; I can go on and on. 
The credit bureaus have no respect for the laws. Someone needs to hold them accountable for this.

Complaint:
I have reached out to XXXX XXXX over 10 times regarding a previous account that I had with them. I had a XXXX XXXX with them that I aquired in 2010. I paid the vehicle off. After I paid the vehicle off a few months later I applied for credit with them again and was told that I had a past due balance of around {$120.00}. I wasn't sure what that balance was for but I promptly paid it. Now when I review my credit score I see that XXXX XXXX was reporting that account as a collection account. My account was never in collections and they never tried to contact me regarding a balance. They ripped me off and now they are ruining my credit. I will not stop until XXXX XXXX updates my report to reflect my account paid as agreed.

Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low
Sub-issue: Overdrafts and overdraft fees

Complaint:
I have a charge for a {$130.00} overdraft fees which after speaking with 4 customer service reps, spending approximately 2 hours? and received an email each providing different versions of versions of why it was charged. Their first claim my account went negative due to 4 charges on the XXXX, however posted balances are positive after each transaction. Another agent said it was due to charges on the XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX however my posted transactions and ending balance from all of the records I can see do not show a negative amount. There were 2 charges ( {$17.00} & {$11.00} ) that occurred on the XXXX that did result in a total of - {$29.00} at the end of the day. While I am not excited about a {$34.00} transaction, I might have conceded to a total of {$68.00} in fees, except their email shows thar no fees were charged for these transactions. I shouldn't have a single charge for fees of {$130.00}. There is nothing available to me to verify any information for any dates other than the email that they sent which only referred to the transactions taking place on the XXXX with no fees assessed. Two supervisors refused to reverse any charges and I will not agree to pay fees for transactions that ( according to all of the records in their system ) did not happen. By that I mean other than the XXXX, there was sufficient funds for all transactions. Having one charge for a {$130.00} with absolutely no explanation is poor business at the very least. In my last conversation I informed the agent I would repay the negative total of {$29.00} but I am not paying a {$130.00} in fees that I can not verify and have gotten nothing but inconsistent information on.

Complaint:
Discover ( one credit card ) and XXXX  ( two credit cards ) have told me out of the blue they decided to make a business decision to close my wifes and my credit cards. All of my three cards were closed in the month of XX/XX/2018. We tried calling to request what we did wrong to only get a representative either not understanding why it was closed or just a flat answer of " the credit card companies aren't making money off you so they decided to close your account '' and it was a business decision. We asked for help from all the credit cards and asked if we did something wrong please let us know so we can avoid this in the possible future, but they didn't have an answer for this as well. 

One of my XXXX credit card I had for more than 12 years. Most of the times we paid our bills on time in full. A few times we had maybe less than {$2.00} interest charges ( attached statement summaries ). My credit score was over 800 on XXXX  before our credit card companies closed our accounts. The last major transactions we did were some credit transfers because we were trying to avoid being charged too much interest as my wife is a small business owner. We used our credit card with the various credit products the credit card companies offered and now we are being penalized. These companies offer credit line product that will cause us to lose out on our American dream of owning a home. We were planning on buying a home this coming year so I worked hard to keep my credit score close to 800. Also, I was planning on using my credit line to start up an internet business too. I lost a total of {$60000.00} in credit line. This was all in one month.
