Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: CA
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: Store credit card
Issue: Fees or interest
Sub-issue: Problem with fees

Complaint:
I had an account with XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX for a number of years until XX/XX/2020 when the company went bankrupt and started closing their stores. They also closed all customer accounts and then kept changing payment due dates for payments and then charging exorbitant late fees if you didn't meet their ever-changing due dates. I complained to XXXX XXXX about this and then PAID OFF my account even though I made the payment due date at the time ( I paid the account balance online ). It didn't matter because XXXX XXXX kept charging me late fees on my account, closed BY THEM in XX/XX/2020. The company then kept ( and is still doing this ) charging late fees on the late fees and will not stop even though the account has been PAID OFF & CLOSED. And Now XXXX XXXX is Reporting me to credit agencies for non-payment of these fraudulent Late Fees! 

I am not going to pay any extortion or fraudulent charges such as this- and I want XXXX XXXX sanctioned for this criminal activity because it's illegal to charge late fees on a closed account! And I want the credit agencies notified of XXXX XXXX 's fraudulent activity!

Company: AMERICAN EXPRESS COMPANY
State: CA
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:
American Express charged annual fees for my Gold Rewards and Hilton Surpass credit cards during the pandemic when we were in a global lockdown and any travel that was permitted following select openings involved weeks of quarantines on both ends of the travel. My family got covid during the pandemic and we were in lockdown for a period. The fees charged are specifically for perks offered by American Express and their travel partners, including the ability to accrue additional points. This is all meaningless if you can't travel. 

In the middle of the pandemic, on XX/XX/XXXX and again on XX/XX/XXXX, I was charged annual fees of {$250.00} each year for my Gold Rewards card ending in XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX and again on XX/XX/XXXX, I was charged {$95.00} annual fees each year for my Hilton Honors Surpass Card. On To elaborate on what the annual fees get you, I'll give an example with the Hilton Surpass Card. You receive Gold Status, extra points when you stay at Hilton properties, priority pass select that gives to access to airport lounges, and no foreign transaction fees. I don't even know where to start with explaining how absurd it is that American Express is not refunding these annual fees, but almost 4M people have died from covid and they were charges these fees at times when bodies were being stored in trail

ers because we ran out of room. Yet, fortunately, I was charged fees so I could go travel the world and stay at Hilton hotels and buy plane tickets on my Gold card. Bottomline is I paid fees for services and features that American Ex
press was not able to provide because we were under governmental lockdowns and their travel partners were closed or heavily restricted for much of the year and are still restricted in many respects.

Complaint:
As a consumer, I actually have protection under the law that is delivered to me to secure me from misinformation simply being noted on my credit report. But despite all the complaints I sent to CFPB and Equifax, nothing has changed! So once again, I would like to request the suppression of these items from my credit report, which is the result of a fraudulent item origination and identity theft. Im attaching the required FTC Report for you ( which complies with FCRA Section 603 ( q ) ( 4 ) which states ( 4 ) The term " identity theft report '' has the meaning given that term by rule of the Bureau, and means, at a minimum, a report ( A ) that alleges an identity theft ; ) B ) that is a copy of an official, valid report filed by a consumer with an appropriate Federal, State, or local law enforcement agency, including the United States Postal Inspection Service, or such other government agency deemed appropriate by the Bureau ; and ( C ) the filing of which subjects the person filing the report to criminal penalties relating to the filing of false information if, in fact, the information in the report is false. ) The following report included this language but Equifax is neglecting to process it to the letter of the law. Please see they are held accountable for as this is impacting my life in emotionally, physically & financially... and I would truly not what to pursue a legal remedy... I need you to DELETE the accounts listed below : XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Was not notified of investigation status or results

Complaint:
On XX/XX/2021, I called Transunion to open an investigation concerning an item on my credit report from XXXX XXXX XXXX for a XXXX XXXX credit card. I advised the representative at Transunion that I had not received a letter prior to this item being added giving me the option to request validation and verifcation of said debt. Because I wasn't given the option to dispute with the collection agency before it being added to my report, I asked Transunion to investigate. I logged into my XXXX XXXX app and saw that Transunion has updated this dispute as valid. It has been nine business days so how is this possible? Also, I never received anything in writing proving this was verified. Transunion did not initiate the dispute in my opinion because why has it updated in nine business days as " Meets FCRA requirements ''? I am now requesting this item be removed from my credit report until an investigation is completed.

Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
We are closing on our house XX/XX/2022 and the insurance department at Freedom Mortgage paid someone else insurance premium out of my escrow account in the amount of {$3800.00}. I called on XX/XX/2022 and spoke with XXXX XXXX in the insurance department who helped me identify it was indeed someone else 's policy paid out of my escrow account. She was going to refund the money into my escrow account. Days went by and nothing was done.I would call and email daily for updates. Now we are less than 48 hours before closing and they will not refund my money to me. I have spent a total of XXXX days with XXXX hours out of those days on the phone with Freedom Mortgage XXXX department, customer care, and escalations. Nothing has been done! This is the worst experience I have even encountered. employees are lying to us, hanging up on us, and even cursing at us. They will refuse to let me speak with a supervisor and hang up on me. I am out THOUSANDS of dollars for the escrow mistake PLUS the expenses we are incurred while being under contract to sell and buy our new house. If this is not handled and situated in time for the closing to still take place on XX/XX/2022 we will be suing Freedom Mortgage and XXXX XXXX for the time and money we have spent trying to fix a mistake that was not ours.

Complaint:
Blessings to you. I am a victim of identity theft and this my 3rd time contacting you guys about fraudulent accounts being on my report that are not mine. This has been a struggle for me and my family because we are in the process of buying a home. My life has been turned upside down because of these accounts. This is an injustice for me as a consumer with your company. I need to be protected and safe. Instead I feel like you guys aren't taking care of the wrongs that these criminals have dealt me. I filed an FTC report in the beginning of the year and none of the accounts were removed that should have been. According to the FCRA 605B ( 15 USC1681 c-2 ) These accounts have to be removed within 4 days of receipt or it is a violation that can be brought to a jury for compensation. My information was stolen in a Data breach a coupe years back so that's how these criminals got my information in the first place. So the companies will try to validate them but they can't because my id was stolen. I now will need these accounts to be removed because the law is being violated. I am attaching proof of my identity, identity theft affidavit, FTC report, notarized letter.
