Complaint:

I went on from XXXX to go to XXXX XXXX after this creditor messed up my relationship I had with the instructor at XXXX ..

I told this creditor I was in school and it was on a legal document in XXXX county however I was completely ignored While attending XXXX XXXX I was offered a chance to attend training and schooling at a body shop all was through XXXX XXXX in XXXX and it was not a job. In XX/XX/XXXX Janson and vargo started garnishments on student funds took XXXX creating problems with my tools then continued to take XXXX a week till XX/XX/XXXX when I was placed on medical leave Im furious that I was bothered while trying to pass a very hard course. Thanks to janson and vargo my position was given to someone else and I lost the tools that where given to me XXXX from XXXX XXXX. My tools are now being repoed Im 13 weeks behind.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Complaint:
Im reaching out because I tried formally disputing inaccurate and incorrect information that was reporting on my personal credit file. I have reached out several time with the last time being XX/XX/XXXX but XXXX  XXXX  and Transunion are still deciding to report illegal information on my credit file that could be as a result from my identity being compromised from XXXX data breach- that Im apart of or a mixed credit file of another consumer. This is an automatic FCRA violation of not properly handing my dispute properly because I provided them with documentation on my identity, which shows my address and full social security number. 
I never received any mail in response to this either. It like I am being ignored! From a XXXX search I know I have rights and reporting this information is a direct violation of my rights. The following needs to be deleted.

Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: IL
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: Store credit card
Issue: Problem when making payments
Sub-issue: Problem during payment process

Complaint:
Back in XXXX of 2022, there was no announcement that Comenity Credit Card was going to shut down their payment processes online. There was no way to log in to see what was being billed, there was no way to make a payment, not even by phone. Then when I found out " XXXX XXXX  '' was opened in XX/XX/2022 there was still no representation of statements of bills and no way to know how much was being charged to my account. There was no announcement that the website was back up. As of now, I can see statements, but not all of them are accounted for XX/XX/2022 is missing. I have been trying to make payments and sent Comenity two physical letters from my bank stating the payments were never tried and have not heard back from them on this specific topic. I have been charged for " chargebacks '' saying Comenity tried to charge my bank but it never went through. None of the payments I scheduled went through the day I scheduled them to go through. I have been charged late fees that have added up to over {$200.00} on my credit card. I asked to have them removed, but no response was made until today XX/XX/2022, and was just simply told I did not qualify. Other customers of Comenity were subjected to waived fees and charges. I have reported them to the XXXX, but nothing was done and no reports or changes have been made. I have also received a " bill '' in the mail explaining my account was closed due to the supposed sent-back payments. 

Since XX/XX/2022 I have not received a physical letter, bill, or email stating their apology, or updates on the interest I should not have been charged, and they still continue to charge interest and late fees to this date. Nothing was done on their part with the last case so I am making a new case. No apology, no explanation was given, and no charges were stopped or managed.

Company: ENCORE CAPITAL GROUP INC.
State: OH
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Credit card debt
Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action
Sub-issue: Threatened or suggested your credit would be damaged

Complaint:
Midland Credit Management refuses to report to credit bureaus the accurate amount of money owed according to our settled upon agreed judgement. My attorney XXXX XXXX successfully negotiated an amount of {$10000.00} to be paid in an initial lump sum of {$2500.00} and then monthly payments thereafter. Per the judgement agreement the monthly payments are mandated to be {$310.00}. Since entering in to the agreed judgement my payments have all been made on time and have exceeded the minimum amount. Despite my paying on time the website portal for payments still threatens legal action as though a lawsuit is pending when they have already sued me and my debt is getting paid while still being inaccurately reported to credit bureaus. In addition to reporting false information to credit bureaus Midland Credit Management has contacted me directly multiple times instead of my attorney. The website for payments towards the settlement amount takes days to update after making on time payments and the balances are still not accurately reflected. Midland Credit Management is a shady business that uses underhanded tactics to harass and sue consumers then doesn't have the integrity to report honest or correct information.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: VA
Product: Credit card
Sub-product: Store credit card
Issue: Trouble using your card
Sub-issue: Can't use card to make purchases

Complaint:
Tried to make a purchase using my Lowe 's credit card ( which contracts with Synchrony Bank for the credit card services ). The charge was declined ( {$1500.00} ), I had a XXXX balance with a line up to {$13000.00} so that was not an issue. Called up Synchrony bank, I was sent to their fraud department. Explained to them who I was, the Lowes salesman confirmed my identity with my drivers license. They tried to remove the loc, but they could not fix the problem ( operational risk problem ). Talked with Synchrony rep, she didn't know how to fix the problem, then talked with her manager she could not fix it, had salesman confirm identity, again they could not release the lock on my card. Ended up using another card for my purchase. Synchrony Bank compromised my character by declining the card, they also made Lowe 's look bad for making a good customer go through this. Lowe 's did give me a 5 % discount on my purchase for the stupidity ( operational and reputational risk problem ) of Synchrony bank doing this.

Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
Requested that inaccurate, unvalidated " late payments '' be changed to " Pays as agreed '' or " ok '' on report. 

Account Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX I assert that this reporting violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), as outlined in 15 USC 1681a 2 ( A ) ( i ). According to this provision, this would fall under the bold-header of EXCLUSIONS, a consumer report does not include information solely about transactions or experiences between the consumer and the person making the report. Late Payments in this case would be considered as a Transaction / Experience. In this case, XXXX. Equifax and XXXX XXXX are in violation of FCRA Law. 
The inaccuracies in reporting late payments on my account, as per 15 USC 1681a 2 ( A ) ( i ), necessitate immediate correction. Ive sent a similar letter to the credit bureau listed above and have requested for the entry to be corrected to either Pays as agreed or OK. I request your office 's assistance in investigating this matter and ensuring compliance with FCRA guidelines. 
I believe your intervention will expedite the resolution of this dispute.
