Sub-issue: Other problem

Complaint:
This complaint arises from Comenity Bank 's failure to honor the " pre-qualification '' offer dated XX/XX/2022, failure to timely approve my application to use my " new account right away, '' and discrimination in processing and denying my application for the XXXX Credit Card. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX teamed up with Comenity Bank to create a " XXXX Credit Card, '' which provides " instant savings '' in the amount of the sales tax paid on qualified purchases. On XX/XX/2022, I received an email that indicated I was " pre-approved for a NEW XXXX Credit Card, '' which included a promise that I could use my " new account right away! '' The XXXX credit card pre-approval offer expired XX/XX/2022. 

Comenity Bank refused to honor this pre-approved offer and required me to submit an online application, which I completed on or about XX/XX/2022. I placed an order with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/2022, and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX promised to honor the instant savings if I was approved within 30 days of the purchase. The tax on my order, which represents the promised savings, was {$160.00}. 

Sometime after this application was submitted, I received a letter from Comenity Bank, addressed to me, using my home address, instructing me to call the Comenity Bank fraud line, which I did. I answered all of the questions during the call. 

On XX/XX/2022, I received a letter from Comenity Bank stating " ... we are unable to approve your application for a ( n ) XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Credit Card for the following reason ( s ) : We are unable to verify your identity. '' The letter was signed with a generic " Account Protection team. '' The alleged failure to verify my identity was disingenuous as a a basis for denying my application and was clearly age discrimination. Important facts that I provided to Comenity Bank, in an effort to resolve this matter, include : 1. I have been a long-time customer of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ; 2. I held a XXXX credit card issued by the previous bank XXXX XXXX  XXXX used ; 3. I have lived in the same house for 30 years ; 4. I have worked at the same employer for over 30 years ; 5. I used an long-established phone number and email address ; 6. I have excellent credit that is well established and stable ; and 7. I responded to a Comenity Bank letter that was directed to me at my residence. 

The only viable explanation was Comenity Bank 's discriminatory practices or ratifying the discrimination of its employees and agents. 

As a result of Comenity Bank 's illegal actions, I lost {$160.00} in " instant savings '' and a great deal of time in attempting to resolve this clear violation of the law.

Complaint:
I was shocked when I reviewed my credit report this week and I found multiple inaccuracies on my credit report from the 3 major credit bureaus from a collection company that I never have dealt with before. I've attempted several times to ratify the issue with the original creditors and credit bureaus and they still reporting inaccurate, unverifiable information. I have disputed this item with the credit reporting agency and they reported you confirmed the account as valid. I honestly do not believe to ever have any relationship with this collection agency or original creditor. Also there are several inaccuracies with this account the way it's reporting and that's a total violation of FCRA and FDCPA laws and regulations. In a good faith effort to resolve the matter amicably, I must demand proof of this debt, specifically the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature, as well as proof of your authority in this matter. Absent such proof, you must correct any erroneous reports of this past debt as mine. I am writing to request that you please provide the following information : 1. Please evidence your authorization under 15 USC 1692 ( e ) and 15 USC 1692 ( f ) in this alleged matter. 2. What is your authorization of law for your collection of information? XXXX. What is your authorization of law for your collection of this alleged debt? 4. Please evidence your authorization to do business or operate in this state. 5. Please evidence proof of the alleged debt, including the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature. 6. Please provide a complete account history, including any charges added for collection activity. 
You have 30 days upon receipt of this letter to provide strict proof of contract. In the event you can not provide strict proof of contract, you must cease and desist any and all collection efforts and immediately remove any derogatory information reported to the consumer reporting agencies. In addition, you will need to provide me your agreement, in writing, that you are closing your file, ceasing collecting activity, and deleting all information related to this reference number from any and all credit reports youve furnished the information to. In the event you transfer this account to an attorney without providing proof of contract, and proving your claim, he/she will be immediate reported to the XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX for code of ethics violations.

Complaint:
I have sent over to all 3 credit bureaus dispute request to update my late payments to current for these accounts listed below. 

Due to The CARES Act, which was signed into law XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX amends the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to stop adverse credit reporting during the XXXX crisis- but only under specific circumstances ( See 15 U.S.C 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( F ). ) ( I ) Accommodation The term accommodation includes an agreement to defer 1 or more payments, make a partial payment, forbear any delinquent amounts, modify a loan or contract, or any other assistance or relief granted to a consumer who is affected by the coronavirus XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) pandemic during the covered period. 

( II ) Covered period The term covered period means the period beginning on XX/XX/XXXX and ending on the later of ( aa ) 120 days after XX/XX/XXXX ; or ( XXXX ) 120 days after the date on which the national emergency concerning the novel coronavirus XXXX ( XXXX ) outbreak declared by the President on XX/XX/XXXX under the National Emergencies Act ( 50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq. ) terminates. 

( ii ) Reporting Except as provided in clause ( iii ), if a furnisher makes an accommodation with respect to 1 or more payments on a credit obligation or account of a consumer, and the consumer makes the payments or is not required to make 1 or more payments pursuant to the accommodation, the furnisher shall ( I ) report the credit obligation or account as current; or ( II ) if the credit obligation or account was delinquent before the accommodation ( aa ) maintain the delinquent status during the period in which the accommodation is in effect; and ( bb ) if the consumer brings the credit obligation or account current during the period described in item ( aa ), report the credit obligation or account as current.

( iii ) Exception Clause ( ii ) shall not apply with respect to a credit obligation or account of a consumer that has been charged-off.

Due to this law I fall within the accommodation '' and coverage period.

Late payments should not reflect my credit report during the periods listed in this law. I have asked for these late payments to be updated to as current or removed. I fell behind and was able to become current with both accounts.

I DO NOT WANT THE ACCOUNTS DELETED JUST THE LATE PAYMENTS. 

First reported late payment in XXXX, ( XXXX ) which is determined within the 120 days. Actual late payment began from XX/XX/XXXX.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Personal information incorrect

Complaint:
I have demanded that all of my personal information on my credit report be 100 % accurate, which it is not. I have already provided proof of my address to Experian, which it has ignored internally citing that " it does not remove personal information for which its creditors are reporting '' even though the information that they are reporting are WRONG! I have provided Experian with a copy of my Drivers License and a copy of my Utility Bill. They are reporting inaccurate and unverifiable personal information about addresses and names that do not belong to me. 

I am " XXXX XXXX XXXX residing at address XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX SC XXXX '', as the letter and proof that I sent to Experian states that I am, and under section 609 of the FCRA I demand that all other inaccurate personal information be removed from my credit report. That includes all other addresses and name variations, as what is being reported must be 100 % accurate. 

I do not recognize the other addresses or name variations on my credit report, and they are wrong. I demand that they be removed, since I have brandished a copy of my federal ID and a Utility bill with 100 % accurate and verifiable information.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Investigation took more than 30 days

Complaint:
I purchased a new car from XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX of this year. I never got a bill from them until XXXX and this bill was a notice of default. My only guess as to why I never got a bill is because my home at XXXX XXXX XXXX west where the bill would come to was under construction due to a major house fire causing the mail to get forwarded to a post office box. I can only assume that the mail was returned to XXXX by the XXXX. I went to the dealership who told me that XXXX would reach out to me by phone or email, both of which they have. I was never contacted of about the bill nor was I aware of the account number and had no way to pay. To make matter worse I didn't even know who to pay. I have made 6 phone calls to them placed one credit dispute all to no remedy. My pristine credit score took a XXXX point drop because of this late payment being reported. I am in the middle of refinancing my home and this will cost me more than the cars value. 
I have 13 active credit accounts and only 1 missed payment. This one. the company is unwilling to communicate with me to correct and the dealership says they have no way to help me.
