Consumer complaint received 2022-12-20
Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: NY
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Fees or interest
Sub-issue: Problem with fees

Complaint:
After the attached were sent, I kept getting calls from Comenity asking if I'd like to pay the amount owed for both XXXX and XXXX bills over the phone. I told them every time, there is a dispute going on. See the page from the bank statement that the XXXX bill was not only paid, but it was received 2 days before the due date. I mailed in a check, but they posted it as if it was done through a clearing house so I'm not able to get a copy of the check. As for the XXXX payment ( which was for the XXXX and XXXX bills ), I mailed a check for the {$640.00} payment on XX/XX/XXXX and as of today, XX/XX/XXXX, my bank statement still isn't showing receipt of my check, I received my XXXX bill from them ( I haven't used the card since the XXXX charges ) and XXXX was just more interest, fees and service charges added on. 

Comenity took over the XXXX credit card account from Bank XXXX XXXX in XXXX and one of the reps that I have spoken to said that since the take over, there have been problems. Also, I received ( as I'm sure other cardholders did ) a letter from the President of Comenity saying there are " intermittent problems ''. This seems to be a problem from their side, but yet myself and I'm sure other cardholders are left with the burden to prove that bills were paid.

Complaint:
The credit bureaus keep disrespecting the laws. I showed them multiple times of how they are violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act. 
According to 15 use 1681 ( 5 ) The credit bureaus said everything was complete and accurate and I asked them how if the open date is wrong.

Then I ask them to provide me description of the investigation according to 15 USC 1681 ( 7 ) and they never did. I have proof of my letter for that.

Also according to 15 USC 1681 s-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. 
This is violation after violation after violation. This is causing me stress because I have no hope with this system

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

Complaint:
I took out a loan with XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX. In XX/XX/XXXX I was in a car accident with my car. The vehicle was towed to a local auto yard. My insurance had lapsed, so the repairs were not covered. I contacted XXXX XXXX and explained the situation and turned the vehicle over to them, as I had no way to repair. This should have been a repossession in XXXX. 

The last payment made on this vehicle was XX/XX/XXXX. My loan was paid as agreed until I had my accident. 

XXXX XXXX is continuing to report this account, more than three years after I released the car back as an open account that is 120 days late. This inaccurate reporting is intended to do maximum damage to my credit, and more than three years later is hindering me from being able to obtain an auto loan from a reputable lender because of my " open past due car loan ''. 

I have tried numerous times to have this corrected and have not been able to get any response. I understand that this account will report negatively, that is my responsibility, but the reporting is inaccurate and this reporting is doing damage to me and my family. I have been unable to secure reliable transportation for my children with this inaccurate credit reporting.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Sub-issue: Problem with customer service

Complaint:
I'm in graduate school and it is reported in studentaid.gov, the repository they should be plugged into and able to see my student status. In studentaid.gov, it shows that I'm a full time graduate student, despite this fact, EdFinancial has still begun charging me interest on my undergraduate loans and said I owe payments. As you well know, undergraduate loans should be deferred until I'm graduated. 

Despite all this, EdFinancial is impossible to reach via phone. I've called 4-5 times, I've emailed several times and I have been completely ignored. I'm getting very discouraged as this almost seems like an illegal racket as my loans are accruing interest while I'm not working and I can't reach anyone to dispute or fix this issue. I'm so frustrated and discouraged.

I have as of XX/XX/XXXX paid off the remaining balance in full as I was receiving 3+ phone calls minimum per day from Synchrony at all hours.
