Company: Continental Finance Company, LLC
State: PA
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 have been having issues using my new XXXX credit card through Continental FinancXXXX when it comes to purchases made through XXXX grocery. I first placed an order with XXXX grocery on XX/XX/XXXX of this year. The original charge amount was {$44.00}. It is not unusual for the actual charge to be a different amount than the initial pending charge, which was the case here. A few days after I picked up the order it was processed through for {$44.00}. However, the amount of {$44.00} remained on my recent activity list and took up available credit. I only had {$1.00} available. I contacted the company about this, and was told the pending would be taken off. I contacted them on, or shortly after XX/XX/XXXX, because I had just made a second purchase through XXXX grocery, not knowing that this was going to be an issue. 

The {$44.00} remained on my account for at least another week. When I checked my online account last evening, XX/XX/XXXX, that amount had been removed, and I had {$70.00} in available credit. I made two charges in the amounts of {$7.00}, and {$18.00}. 

When I checked this morning my second XXXX grocery order had processed through. As before with my first order, the original holding charge of {$66.00} is still there, as well as the adjusted charge of {$59.00}. My available credit is now negative {$14.00}. 

I called them this afternoon, XX/XX/XXXX, to ask if they could remove the pending {$66.00}, as it is basically the same charge as the second {$59.00}, and I need the available credit that pending charge is taking up. 

My call was forwarded to an account manager who, no matter what I said told me that {$66.00} had been taken off of my account, and my account being over the limit was because of the two small charges I had made that were still pending. I had {$70.00} available credit with the {$66.00} charge on my account, and of course {$59.00} is a lesser amount by {$10.00}. So basically this account manager was swearing up and down that {$7.00} and {$18.00} pending was taking up about {$94.00} worth of available credit.

State: TX
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
I am writing to file a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) regarding inaccurate late payments that remain on my credit report despite multiple attempts to correct the information. The credit reporting agencies and the creditor have failed to provide any documentation or evidence of the accuracy of their reporting, yet they continue to report the inaccurate information on my credit report. 

I have sent multiple letters to the credit reporting agencies disputing the accuracy of the late payments, citing laws such as the Fair Credit Reporting Act and Fair Credit Billing Act. In response, the credit reporting agencies claimed to have verified the accuracy of their reporting, without providing any evidence or documentation to support their claims. 

I have also sent a letter to the creditor disputing the late payments, and demanding the immediate removal of the late payments from my account, as well as the production of documentation such as transactional history, billing statements, and any other documents that the law allows me to request from creditors regarding billing errors. The creditor has failed to respond to my request. 

Despite my efforts, the inaccurate late payments remain on my credit report, damaging my credit score and making it difficult for me to obtain credit or loans.
