Complaint:
I am writing about an issue I have had with Comenity Bank. I have a Victoria Secret, Ulta, Express , & New York & Company card with them. Back in XXXX of this year I lost my job which caused me to require financial assistance so I called comenity to let them know. They transferred me to their Hardship Department which set me up on a payment plan with them. Since that date they have been automatically taking payments from my account. I have called them so many times to explain to them that my account is not being accurately reported to the credit bureaus. They dont believe me and will not help me. The representatives do not understand what I am asking for they will not help me in any capacity. 

I am on time with my payments and so far the only account which reflects this is Victoria Secret. Not only is this effecting my credit it has caused me to get denied for housing. Ive tried disputing it with the bureaus and they will not remove it. This is insane that they are allowed to do this when they are taking the money from my account each month automatic payments! Ive emailed their ceo their executive office no one will help me. As you can see from the screen shots the last time theyve updated their reporting for me was XXXX and XXXX of last year siting also that they havent gotten a payment since XXXX when they just withdrew a payment from me in XXXX! Please help me!!!

Issue: Unable to get your credit report or credit score
Sub-issue: Other problem getting your report or credit score

Complaint:
My Husband, XXXX XXXX, has attempted to resolve an issue with XXXX XXXX obtaining his Credit Report information and have not received resolution due to Discriminatory Practices exhibited by Equifax with blocking the XXXX XXXX from pulling his Equifax Credit Report. 

We have call multiple times and XXXX XXXX states that they keep the same error message, although Equifax claims there is no XXXX XXXX or Security freeze on his report. 

We Protected U.S. Veterans and XXXX XXXX Americans who are attempting to gain access to financial resources, however, we are being blocked due to Equifax 's illegal biased discriminatory practices. 

He called the Equifax Fraud line 3 times and they assured him they have no fraud alerts, however, they have not updated their database and are on purpose blocking us from obtaining financial credit. 

XXXX XXXX can also attest to this action as well, as they have attempted to run his Equifax Credit Report but receiving no information and specifically stated their error message includes " Report Not available for Delivery ''. 

These are discriminatory practices in attempt to keep XXXX XXXX Americans form obtaining XXXX. 

I also had the same issue with XXXX who is blocking " FIGURE '' Home Equity Online Application from obtaining a Soft Inquiry Credit Report as we well. These are also illegal practices and XXXX states the same thing that there are no Security Freezes or XXXX Alerts on my account. However, when I called FIGURE back to inquire and confirm, they stated they are receiving the same error message on their attempt to pull my credit for progressing to the next stage of the application process to accept an Offer for the a potential Home Equity Line of Credit. 

These are discriminatory practices being exhibited by Equifax and XXXX, as the companies are confirming they have made several attempts to pull credit to no avail.

Complaint:
I found an unauthorized charge in delinquent status on my credit report. It was from a credit card that I have never used, but had the account open ( online nor the card itself ). I disputed it on XXXX Dispute and reported back that the information on the report is accurate. I am unsure what that means, and have not been able to reach out. I called the credit card company, XXXX, and told customer service that the charge on that account was fraudulent ( XXXX charge for XXXX ), so she turned off the account and anyone authorized users, and marked the transactions as fraudulent.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint:
From XXXX to XXXX of 2019 My account reported 90-120 days late in which I immediately noticed this change and contacted the loan company. I corrected them letting the know I was still enrolled in college in which case there is no possible way to be late as they are federal student loans. They have a grace period of 6 months after completing your education to begin payments. They apologized for the mistake and corrected my account status however they did not revise the months for which it reported negatively on my account. This has been hugely damaging to my credit over the years following and has never seem to have been corrected. Under section 15 U.S.C 1681-1685 I have the right to fair credit reporting. I have likely paid thousands more in day to day purchases thanks to this incorrect reporting that has been around for the entirety of my adult life. If this is not corrected I will need to seek legal help in the matter.

Complaint:
Papers came in the mail today that i have court for a debt that's 6 years old. The last known action on this account was XX/XX/2017, according to the debt collector. That makes this debt past the statute of limitations, of 5 years, in Oklahoma. I'm unsure how they are still able to move forward in court if they're not following the law in Oklahoma. Yet they have a date set for court that I'm supposed to attend. I have not been given confirmation of the account or any debt account validation. They have my age listed as XXXX and I'm XXXX XXXX XXXX. This is predatory behavior on their part. How do I stop this legally? Thank you.

I contacted the DEBT COLLECTOR and explained to them that the debt is not mine- I called them in on XX/XX/2022.

The company did nothing. 

I emailed them as well and they have not removed the debt they KNOW if not owed to them by me in OVER 60 days. In fact, last week they RE-REPORTED IT to all 3 credit bureaus knowing they have COURT documents showing different. 
Attached is my DIVORCE DECREE indicating the account they are attempting to collect a debt on.

State: IL
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
XXXX XXXX XXXX Total Card Account # : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX In reviewing my payments and credit report , I discovered Total Card , Inc. ( XXXX XXXX that is now XXXX XXXX XXXX ) is incorrectly showing reports of late payments in the following months : XXXX AND XX/XX/XXXX. 

Back in XXXX, I switched over and applied for automatic payments with their system at the time ( vs my bank ), but they had NOT taken effect unknowingly due to some system upgrade or glitch they had with taking automatic payments on a long-term recurring basis. They admitted to this fact at the time. I had since corrected this with XXXX XXXX at the time, got refunded fees, and have since paid automatic payments through my bank on time. However, this information is still incorrectly reporting on my credit report. 

Ive spoken with the bank about this in the past on a plethora of cases. I've written, called, faxed, and disputed with EACH credit reporting agency several times over the past few years but to no avail. 

In my last attempt, XX/XX/XXXX, I was misled in believing another " review '' was going to be done. I then received a letter that claimed they reviewed the very same day, but they provided no details into what was checked or what research was done. The letter was dated the same day as my follow-up call. 

Based on my last conversations with Total Card, they confirmed that they are NOT doing a real investigation. They are only looking at what the system says ( which is wrong ), and simply passing that along as their " review '' to the credit bureaus. They are NOT interested in reviewing the accuracy of their own system or happenings ta the time of my dispute. 

As a very last straw for me, per my conversation on XX/XX/XXXX, their supervisor ( " XXXX '', Badge ID XXXX ), stated they looked at my statements from XXXX and then just submits that as a review. In the same breath, when I ask him for my own statements to counter their review, he states they can not guarantee to provide this information and even attempts to tell me that if they do, it will cost me {$3.00} per statement to provide. He is telling I will have to pay for statements, that they MAY or MAY NOT provide, that is also INCORRECT, yet was claimed this is the very information they used for their " review ''. 

I have tried to diligently work with the credit servicer, but I now strongly believe they are not taking my issue seriously, and giving me the runaround. These incorrect strikes on my credit report are hindering me from getting the financing/rates I should. This is brought up every time I apply for financing or credit.

Sub-product: Title loan
Issue: Charged fees or interest you didn't expect

Complaint:
In  XXXX  my husband and I financed through Chase Bank the purchase of a   XXXX   (  XXXX  )  XXXX . The entire transaction, including the loan application was done through the   XXXX   XXXX  . In  XXXX ,   XXXX   was found guilty of misrepresenting the amount of car emissions in some of its models ( including ours ). A class action lawsuit was filed and as a result  XXXX  gave customers the option of trading in the car for a cash payment. The payment consisted of two parts. One was the payment to Chase Bank to pay off the auto loan. The remaining amount ( after paying off the car ) would be deposited in our bank account. We took this option, and in  XX/XX/XXXX  submitted the paperwork through  XXXX . On  XX/XX/XXXX , we gave in the car at a local dealer and two days later received the money in our account. When I checked the auto loan, however, I noticed that the full amount paid included the principal balance of {$16000.00} and an interest payment of {$1000.00}. Nowhere were we informed that we would have to pay close to {$1000.00} of interest for prepaying the loan. In fact, the  XXXX  dealer informed us that we would simply be paying the principal balance on the account. This seems illegal and possibly even a scam and I would like to alert other customers to this, especially those participating in similar  XXXX  transactions. Because  XXXX  pays the auto loan balance directly, it makes it easier for the interest charge to go unnoticed by individual consumers.
