Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: CO
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: Store credit 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 purchased rings at Zales and spent over XXXX, which was fine. When I applied for the credit the card machine/screen was down so you could not read the agreement. I let the customer service rep know, to which she gave me two options. A fixed amount of interest for the entirety of the loan or 18 months free interest. After the 18 months the interest would start on the remaining balance. The balance after 18 months was XXXX I made large payments every month on time every month. I had the account on auto pay and made double the minimum amount. I can provide statements of these payments, I am very conscious about my credit and take it seriously. 

On the 19th month I received a statement stating my balance was now over XXXX. I called Zales right away and notified them there was a billing error. At this time they let me know the " agreement I signed '' stated 18 months is true but only if the entirety of the XXXX was paid in 18 months. If NOT the interest would be added as if the promotion never existed. I was unable to read this or a get a copy of such agreement since the machine was down and the customer service representative lied about this. Had I known this was the agreement I wouldn't have signed because its nearly impossible for someone to pay nearly XXXX in such a short period. 

They charged me over XXXX in interest. I have called Comenity Bank several times throughout the year trying to get the issue fixed I have also wrote several letters. I am more than willing to pay the remaining balance of what is rightfully owed to them, which was XXXX before the billing issue and I am willing to pay interest on the remaining balance because that is what I agreed too. 

I contacted the XXXX a month ago and the company has now reimbursed me XXXX which I am grateful for but is still incorrect. My new balance is now XXXX which is incorrect. I am asking the company to do the right thing which should have been done from the beginning. I would like to pay the remaining balance of what was owed before the issue. I would also appreciate it if they contacted the credit agencies and remove the negative marks I am now facing due their poor customer service and incorrect information they are reporting. I have never been late on ANY payments ( ie : mortgage, cars, credit cards all of them are on autopay. ) I have recently made a payment to Zales even though the amount is still incorrect as good faith showing I am trying to do the right thing. I have also reinstated the auto pay I would just really appreciate it if they did the right thing. I feel as though they are practicing unfair and misleading credit practices in order to get sales and commission. 

Thank you for your help.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Information is missing that should be on the report

Complaint:
It seems like every time I talk to a collection agency that has the account theyll close it and then somebody else to get it its like they pass it on to hundreds of these companies and even though you settled it they still come after you saying that you owe this account. I asked the agencies numerous times in the company to validate the debt show when the debt was validated thats all I ask. And if they can not then I ask for all accounts to be removed from all credit agencies and all negative remarks be removed ASAP.

Sub-issue: You told them to stop contacting you, but they keep trying

Complaint:
Calls are from Midland Credit XXXX. MANY MANY different phone numbers over the course of 10 years, most of which I have blocked, in the past I have advised them many times the debt is not owed and has timed out in all cases and they need to stop calling but they continue to call. 

After repeated calls from me asking them to stop they have blocked incoming calls from my number and now I am not able to call back or speak to them if I wanted to ( it hangs up immediately or rings forever if I call them at any of their numbers which is why I know all these numbers are theirs ). If I answer the phone when a call is received no reply and the call drops. Almost all their calls are after XXXX and the debt they want to collect is not owed, already cleared from my credit report, over XXXX XXXX XXXX, and they have been advised not to contact this number any longer. Basically, I can check almost all the boxes on this questionnaire in relation to this company that has been hounding me for 10 years.

State: MI

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

Complaint:
I originally sent letters to all 3 credit bureaus regarding inaccurate information I found on my report on XX/XX/21. Referencing an alledged account with credit acceptance and inquiries that were also unauthorized. The letters were all sent certified mail and verified as recieved. 3 weeks later I recieved letters from each bureau. XXXX  notified that they have corrected the issue by deleting the referenced credit acceptance account from my account but have yet to remove inquiries. XXXX  and Experian have both claimed to have verified the information with the creditor as accurate. I have sent letters to both bureaus on XX/XX/21 requesting the method in which they verified those accounts and I am still waiting on response. Credit acceptance has not responded at all. 

I have attached a screenshot of this account on my report where you can clearly see this account has been RE-AGED by the creditor which is a clear violation of law. Obviously the processes and procedures of XXXX, Experian and XXXX XXXX  are all flawed and are not setup in a way to be accurate and fair to its consumers.
