Company: Credit Card Receivables Fund Incorporated
State: TN
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Credit card debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint:
XX/XX/XXXX, I contacted UNIFUND CCR LLC in regards to this inaccurate account on my consumer report. The correspondence received on XX/XX/XXXX did not fulfill any of my prior requests. All I received was an unsigned contract from another company and notified that the collection account had been sold to yet another company, DISTRESSED ASSET PORTFOLIO III , LLC but is still being updated reported from UNIFUND CCR LLC. Your company has failed to provide me with competent evidence to prove that I have a legal obligation to pay the alleged debt to you or any third party. Your company reported derogatory information/account/debt to my consumer reports ( XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX. ). Your company failed to validate debt. Your company does not own alleged debt. Your company is not in possession to collect alleged debt but still reporting to my consumer report and causing me hardship. I am attesting that I have not received any goods or services from them nor do I plan to in the future. I have no verbal or written contract with UNIFUND CCR LLC that states I owe them or agree to pay them any money. I have no knowledge of this company and again I have no desire to do any business with UNIFUND CCR LLC. I am a victim of fraud, and I'm demanding that UNIFUND CCR LLC according to section 623 ( A ) ( 1 ) ( A ) ( B ) cease reporting this inaccurate information to the consumer reporting agencies ( XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, etc. ) IMMEDIATELY as I have previously requested, and I am aware that this subject to a {$1000.00} fine per violation in addition to punitive damages. Also upon checking my reports, I've noticed that your company has been doing soft credit pulls of my information, that occurred on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, which is another violation of my rights under the FCRA. If your company has sold this alleged debt to another third party, why are you still illegally pulling my information regularly? I never authorized your company to pull my report under any circumstance nor invade my privacy. Lastly, upon checking XXXX XXXX XXXX, your company doesn't have any license that allows you to collect debt in the state of Tennessee.

Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: CA
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: Store credit card
Issue: Advertising and marketing, including promotional offers
Sub-issue: Confusing or misleading advertising about the credit card

Complaint:
I believe that Comenity Bank intentionally deceived its customers including myself in regards to promotional financing offered through its account. I can explain it in two steps. 

# 1 The first being paperless statements. We all want to do what's right for the environment so when the option to enroll is available I click yes. So I did. Problem is they list the promotional finance summary on PAGE 3 of the statement. This is not available or shown AT ALL on their companies WEB INTERFACE. It doesn't exist. 

# 2 Is the web payment options. There is none. It is the only credit card I have that didn't have the option of enrolling in RECURRING PAYMENTS. After all, If I sign up the promotional financing instead of the reduced price on the item purchased, I'm obviously planning it out to pay all of the financed amount off in a 12 month or less period. Comenity didn't have a recurring payment option until recently. I believe this was intentional on their part and the retailers. The customer chooses to pay the higher sticker price to get the reduced financing charges. The finance company then makes it impossible to set up recurring payments and in turn its a double dip. 

The reason for this email is I was dealing with a parent in hospice from XX/XX/XXXX -  XX/XX/XXXX and I did not know that my promotional period was ending. So when I made a payment it was too late and I got whacked for {$770.00} worth of finance charges. When I asked them to remove this and explain my situation in a calm manner they said NO. This is a disgusting business practice and Im sure it has happened many times over. 

Thank you, XXXX XXXX

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: TX
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account information incorrect

Complaint:
I am writing to lodge a formal complaint regarding a disputed account on my credit report, which is adversely affecting my credit history. The account in question is related to an auto loan with XXXX, and I strongly believe that they are inaccurately reporting a balance despite agreeing to a settlement. 

Account Information : Creditor Name : XXXX Details of Dispute : On XX/XX/2022, I entered into a settlement agreement with XXXX to resolve the outstanding balance on my auto loan. Per the terms of the settlement, I paid the agreed-upon settlement amount, which was accepted and acknowledged by XXXX as XXXX satisfaction of the debt owed. I have copies of all relevant documents, including the settlement agreement and proof of payment, for your reference. 

Despite the settlement and full payment made, I am dismayed to discover that XXXX continues to report a balance on this account. This reporting error is unjustifiably harming my credit score and affecting my ability to obtain credit and loans at reasonable terms. It is my understanding that once a settlement has been reached, the balance should reflect as {$0.00} on my credit reports, indicating that the debt has been fully resolved. 

Steps Taken to Resolve the Issue : I have attempted to resolve this matter with XXXX directly by contacting their customer service department on multiple occasions. However, my efforts have been met with unsatisfactory responses, delays, and lack of action. Despite providing evidence of the settlement, they have failed to correct the erroneous reporting on my credit file. 

Request for XXXX : I kindly request the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to investigate this matter and intervene on my behalf. I ask that you ensure XXXX updates their reporting to accurately reflect the settled status of the account and show a balance of {$0.00}. Furthermore, I request that appropriate measures be taken to prevent such inaccuracies from recurring and negatively impacting other consumers. 

Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

Company: GOLDMAN SACHS BANK USA
State: CA
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Savings account
Issue: Closing an account
Sub-issue: Funds not received from closed account

Complaint:
I received an email from Marcus by Goldman Sachs in XX/XX/XXXX, stating that my savings account has been closed. It took me three calls into their Customer Service Department to find out WHY this happened. Once I learned of the issue, I take full responsibility for why it was closed. 

However, I have called into Marcus multiple times to get my money back, starting in XX/XX/XXXX. In XX/XX/XXXX, I sent in an affidavit of identity because I had moved apartments so that they could send a check to my new address with the funds. I verified they had received that on XX/XX/XXXX and were reviewing. I was told I would receive a call. I did not receive anything. On XX/XX/XXXX, I called in again and was told that a new Work Item would have to be opened from this call, which could take 1-3 business days. I was told I would receive a call. I received nothing. On XX/XX/XXXX, I called in again. This time, I was told that it was NOT possible for a check to be dispersed, and that my notarized affidavit was a wasted effort and three weeks that I could have been following up. I paid {$4.00} for this. From the XX/XX/XXXX call, I was also told that my account was in the process of being re-opened so that the funds could be moved there. I am not sure why this process has taken XXXX months, and all I want is my funds back.
