Issue: Trouble using your card
Sub-issue: Account sold or transferred to another company

Complaint:
My XXXX card was transferred to Comenity bank back in XX/XX/2022. 

Since then, I have been unable to register my card only to make payments. The telephone system keeps telling me I need to activate the cards. After I activated them for the 3rd time, I tried registering online and it gives me several different errors, 1 ) account information does not match their records, 2 ) the account is already registered. I have made three phone calls and have discussed the issues with the representatives. They informed me that they were aware of the issue almost a month ago. I again called today and had to reactivate the account although this as done over 2 weeks ago, and this was confirmed by the representatives. The representative today was unable to helped me and referred the issue to his supervisor who will be looking into it. I advised i do not want to incur any late fees due to missing a payment because I am unable to log in. She informed me that my next payment is due in XXXX. 

After reading all the complaints and reviews from other customers in similar situations, i feel uncomfortable not reporting the issue as I do not think that they are following the banking regulations as the access to our accounts is not being restricted and after multiple complaints and reports of this issue on my part, I feel that are not doing anything to help and they are using this as a strategy to collect interest on balances with Zero interest rates. 

This feels like a scam that can affect everyone 's finances and credit rating. 

Please help.

State: FL
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
Per the FCRA, I am a federally protected consumer. According to the law, consumer reporting agencies are to exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumers right to privacy. Experian, is classified as consumer reporting agency, and I by definition am the Consumer. Pursuant to 15 U.S Code 6801, it is the policy of Congress that each financial institution has an affirmative and continuing obligation to respect the privacy of its customers and to protect the security and confidentiality of those customers nonpublic personal information. XXXX XXXXXXXX per 15 U.S Code 6801 is defined as a financial institution ; of which I am sure the U.S. Department of Justice, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, the U.S Securities and Exchange Commission, and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency [ would ] consider any information that this institution engaged in illegal credit practices before the end of the institutions next performance evaluation. XXXX XXXX is in violation of 15 U.S Code 1681a ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ). See Exhibit A. XXXX XXXX is under the regulation of many laws and as previously mentioned one of those is the FCRA, which states the term consumer report DOES NOT INCLUDE any report containing information solely as to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the person making the report. Pursuant to 15 U. S Code 1681c ( a ) ( 5 ) the publishing of any adverse item of information should not be on any consumer report. It clearly states except as authorized under subsection ( b ), no consumer reporting agency may make any consumer report containing any of the following items of information. Any other adverse item of information, other than records of convictions of crimes which antedates the report by more than seven years. This is a violation as they are reporting these items without my permission. See Exhibit B for the accounts I, the consumer, am speaking of. 15 U.S Code 1681e states every consumer reporting agency shall maintain reasonable procedures designed to avoid violation of section 1681c of this title and to limit the furnishing of consumer reports to the purposes listed under section 1681b of this title. 15 U.S Code 1681 clearly states that I have a right to privacy. It also states the consumer reporting agencies can NOT furnish an account without my written instructions. Experian is in direct violation of the law and will be held responsible/liable for damages pursuant to 15 U.S Code 1681n.

State: NJ
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement
Sub-issue: Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement

Complaint:
I placed an order for a white hoodie on XX/XX/2022 with XXXX. After a few days passed since the order was placed, I did not hear back or get any update, so I reached out to the merchant, who confirmed that my order was getting prepared. I received a shipment confirmation with a FedEx tracking number on XX/XX/2022. On XX/XX/2022, I received the notification that my package was delivered. As I live in an apartment building, I attempted to retrieve my package at the reception where all packages are delivered, but the concierge was unable to find it. After searching everywhere in the apartment building with the help of the staff who work here, I reached back out to XXXX explaining that the package has not been received, even though the tracking number was marked as delivered. I asked them to reach out to FedEx for information that could help to retrieve the order, but the answer I received was " We see that this order has been delivered on XXXX of XXXX. ". Since I was still not able to locate the package and the merchant was completely unhelpful and unprofessional, I opened a dispute via the Apple Card customer service. As far as I am aware, when a dispute is opened, it should be investigated to find out what happened, but this is not the service I have been provided. I've been told conflicting information by representatives about how and why the dispute was processed, XXXX agent told me that the dispute was initially filed as I claimed to have not placed an order? I am able to retrieve most of the correspondence with Apple Card support, and this was definitely not the case. The dispute was resolved in the merchant 's favor numerous times. Every time I reopen the dispute, it is closed with the same outcome without any investigation. I receive the same folder of " correspondence '' from the merchant including my order confirmation and tracking number, which according to this credit card company confirms that the order has been actually delivered? I am not aware of the merchant ever reaching out to XXXX, definitely not when I requested them to, I am also not aware of any claims that have been made, which can only be made by the sender. Based on the documents that I received at least 5 times regarding this matter, I am also not aware of any steps that were taken by Apple Card support or the merchant to file the package as missing through XXXX, so that it can be either found or refunded. The merchant also didn't reship the item. I will not pay for an item that I have not received, especially when all of my timely requests were ignored by the merchant and Apple Card Support. This matter could have been resolved if the merchant would have been willing to cooperate and to do their job as the seller and shipper of this item.

When I investigated my credit report, I realized that some of the information was erroneous. The XXXX and TransUnion credit bureaus are required to authenticate these accounts under Sections 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and 611 ( a ) ( 1 ). ( A ). It is not acceptable to treat these reporting accounts as unconfirmed information without producing proof within the legal time range. You have NOT provided me a copy of ANY original documentation ( a consumer contract with my signature on it ) as required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) Disclosures to consumers [ 15 U.S.C. 1681g ] ( ( a ) Information on file ; sources ; report recipients. XXXX and TransUnion shall, upon request, and subject to 610 ( a ) ( 1 ) [ 1681h ], clearly and accurately disclose to the consumer. If the consumer to whom the file relates requests that the first 5 digits of the social security number ( or similar identification number ) of the consumer not be included in the disclosure and the consumer reporting agency has received appropriate proof of the identity of the requester, the consumer reporting agency shall so truncate such number in such disclosure. & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) Procedure in case of disputed accuracy [ 15 U.S.C. 1681i ] ( a ) Reinvestigations of Disputed Information. If the completeness or accuracy of any item of information contained in my file at Experian and TransUnion are disputed by the consumer and the consumer notifies the agency directly, or indirectly through a creditor, the Bureaus shall, free of charge, conduct a reasonable reinvestigation to determine whether the disputed information is inaccurate and record the current status of the disputed information, or delete the item from my file in accordance with paragraph ( 5 ), before the end of the 30-day period beginning on the date on which the agency receives the notice of the dispute from the consumer or creditor Furthermore, you have failed to provide the method of verification as required under 15 USC1681i ( a ) ( 7 ).

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

Complaint:
On XXXX XXXX XXXX, I wrote to you requesting an investigation into items that I believed were 
inaccurate, and falsely reporting. To this date only response that I have received was computergenerated letter stating that you have ceased investigation of my credit reports because, in your 
opinion, you believe that I have used a third party credit repair agency. Not only do I believe this to be a 
stall tactic on your part to grant you an additional 30 days to comply with my original request, but I 
believe it to be a blatant violation of the FCRA.
I have maintained a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint 
with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance.
I further remind you that, as in White v. Experian Information Solutions, 993 F. Supp. 2d 1154 - Dist. 
Court, (CD California 2014); you may be liable for violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) by 
recklessly failing to follow reasonable procedures to ensure the accurate reporting of debts discharged 
in bankruptcy and by refusing to adequately investigate consumer disputes regarding the status of 
discharged accounts.
I request this under 15 U.S. Code  1692g - Validation of debts. If information is not provided or the 
false reporting isnt removed; as in Wenger v. Trans Union Corp., No. 95-6445 (C.D.Cal. Nov. 14,1995), 
you may be liable for your willful non-compliance. Credit reporting laws ensure that bureaus report only 
100% accurate credit information. Every step must be taken to assure the information reported is 
completely accurate and correct. The following information therefore needs to be reinvestigated.
