Complaint:
On XX/XX/22, my husband contacted Comenity Bank via phone to pay off my account using his XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX in the amount of {$5200.00}, paying off the balance of my accout with a Customer Service Rep. On XX/XX/22 the funds were removed from our checking account by Comenity. 
Comenity Bank. Comenity Bank claims to not receive the funds. Ive made multiple phone calls and correspondence trying to resolve the issue. 
We provided Comenity Bank with copies of our bank statement showing the reference numbers of the transaction and a letter with the same. They denied receiving still, on another occasion I sent another letter with a copy of the draft note provided by our bank and still they denied. Asked us to go to the bank to provide the transaction information for electronic transfer. Our bank said the information we provided is what they need. Our Bank ( XXXX XXXX  ) is advising they can no longer help us, due to the time it took Comenity to research. Our bank allows 60 days, and it is way beyond that period. 
I am hoping you can help or advise to resolve. My account at Comenity balance should be XXXX but now with late fees they are charging me over {$6000.00}. On top of this my credit score went from XXXX to XXXX  XXXX because of this.

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX I filed for XXXX XXXX  bankruptcy protection. The account I am having an issue with is a XXXX  XXXX XXXX credit card ending in # XXXX which was included in the aforementioned bankruptcy. The issue I have is with TransUnion reporting the incorrect date reported or status date for this account. I recently submitted a letter to TransUnion outlining the incorrect information on my credit report dated XX/XX/XXXX. The status date shows for the XXXX  XXXX XXXX credit card on my TransUnion credit report now shows as XX/XX/XXXX, prior to my correspondence with TransUnion the status date was showing as XX/XX/XXXX. The correct date should be XX/XX/XXXX, the date the bankruptcy occurred the status of this account has not changed since the bankruptcy filing. About a year ago in XX/XX/XXXX I had the same issue with TransUnion, you can refer to my previous complaint # XXXX, in which XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX responded with the information they provided to TransUnion regarding my account which is they reported the account was included in bankruptcy as of XX/XX/XXXX. The letter from XXXX  XXXX XXXX is attached to the previous complaint referenced above. All the other accounts included in the bankruptcy have date reported as on or about XX/XX/XXXX. The other credit bureaus also show the correct date. For this XXXX  XXXX XXXX account. Due to this error that TransUnion refuses to fix, my TransUnion credit score is significantly lower than the other bureaus. I was recently denied a credit limit increase due to this erroneous error.

Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Trouble using your card
Sub-issue: Can't use card to make purchases

Complaint:
On XX/XX/23 I used my XXXX XXXX issued by Synchrony bank at Lowes- no purchase problem. I then went to my usual XXXX grocery store where my grocery purchase for {$99.00} was declined. I pay this card off every 2 weeks and have had for years. I look on line- I have over XXXX credit available and no messages or flags in my account inbox. I attempt 3 times at the checkout counter- card. I am then escorted over to the customer service desk AT THE ENTRANCE TO THE STORE. There the counter rep tries 2 more times- card still declined. I call the customer service # on the back of the card. I speak with a Synchrony rep that informs me I will have to verify my account ( WHY?? ) and will send me a link to my cell phone. I receive a link. The link takes me to a website where I have to : # 1 Answer personal questions- I do this. # 2 Copy my drivers license-front & back and upload- I do this. # 3 I HAVE TO VIDEO MYSELF TURNING MY HEAD LEFT TO RIGHT and upload- I do this. 
I am then texted a code # and have to call the customer service # again and give them the code number I waste texted- I do this. THEY THEN UNLOCK MY CARD so I can purchase my melting groceries that have been sitting in my cart for 45minutes. All of this happened at the front of the store- I have NEVER felt so humiliated in my life.

Company: HFS Financial LLC
State: TX
Product: Payday loan, title loan, or personal loan
Sub-product: Installment loan
Issue: Getting the loan

Complaint:
This company stated they offer loans and start at no credit check for pre approval. They never disclosed that they are a Brokerage and don't offer the loan directly. They also never advised there was a 3 % finders fee. I was not allowed to pick my own terms and was just sent over a contract to sign after they ran my credit. When I called to complain, the supervisor did nothing but say he's sorry it wasn't what I expected but they send out the disclosures. When I asked him to show me where I signed the discourse and how I can review them, he said they're a one time click button and he doesn't have anything in writing. He also advised there is no harm because they won't charge me anything to cancel my application. I advised him if I would have known they were a broker and charged a 3 % fee I would have never wasted my time, submitted an application, nor sent personal information to them. After that he sent me a disclosure form with my name on it and predated it to XX/XX/28 with no signatures.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: TX
Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
Firstly, I want to stress the vital importance of adhering to FCRA Section 602 ( 15 USC 1681 section 602a ), which underscores the duty of consumer reporting agencies to maintain fairness, impartiality, and an unwavering commitment to safeguarding consumer privacy. Additionally, I firmly assert my rights guaranteed under 15 USC 6801, which ensure that my personal information is protected by financial institutions acting as suppliers of data to credit agencies. I have expressed directly to these companies that I would not like my non-public information shared.

My primary concern revolves around the sharing of my information without explicit written consent. FCRA Section 604a ( 2 ) explicitly dictates that consumer reporting agencies are only authorized to provide reports upon receiving written instructions from the consumer. I do not believe I have given any consent to share my personal information and I hereby retract any implicit or verbal consent previously extended to entities like XXXX, Experian, XXXX or other information furnishers to credit agencies. 

The reporting of adverse items without proper authorization is deeply troubling. According to 15 USC 1681C ( a ) ( 5 ), it's explicitly prohibited to report adverse information without explicit permission. It seems this regulation might have been violated, necessitating immediate attention and corrective action. Evidence of multiple items that are marked derogatory.

Moreover, the breaches of reporting laws outlined in 15 U.S. Code 1681s2 ( A ) ( 1 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681e cast significant doubts on reporting agencies ability to uphold reasonable procedures. These infractions severely undermine the trust and confidence that should be placed in the accuracy and integrity of reported information.

Lastly, I formally exercise my right to opt out of your reporting services here with CFPB as witness, as provided by 12 CFR 1016.7. It's imperative that my opt-out request is promptly acknowledged and actioned upon with the immediate removal and deletion of all stored data involving XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
