Consumer complaint received 2023-06-08
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:
My complaint is against Comenity Bank XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX account and Comenity Bank XXXX account. 
I have an open account for each of the above-mentioned accounts, with an 18 months ' pay period with no interest. 
I have been making payments on time from the beginning, payments I make are more than the minimum required monthly amount due. 
I received a statement indicating a late fee of {$41.00} assessed against my account from the Comenity-XXXX account ending in # XXXX this past week. I called them and during my call, realized that they had previously charged me a late fee on a couple of more occasions. I reviewed the payment history on my bank account and my bank bill pay service sent payments to them on time every month, and this I can prove. 
This morning I had the same issue with my Comenity XXXX and XXXX account ending # XXXX. I logged in to review my final payment due and discovered that they have charged me late fees and interest on at least 4 occasions recently that they would acknowledge with me on the phone. I asked to have all fees reversed and they advised me that they can only reverse two of the multiple late fees that they had assessed on my account. This is not acceptable. 
I believe that this company is doing this unfairly and on purpose in order to make extra money on accounts that are making payments ahead of the no interest expiration date. I know that they are receiving my payments from my bank on time and sitting on them until past the due date and not posting the payments to the account on time in order to be able to access a late fee and interest, I use the same bill pay service from my bank for multiple payees and have never had an issue with any other payee not receiving the payments on time.

I feel that this is a very deceiving and unfair practice that Comenity is engaging in and they need to stopped from continuing this practice. They could potentially be raking in millions of dollars in late fees from consumers unjustly. 
Please let me know if you need more details on this subject.

Issue: Problem with a lender or other company charging your account
Sub-issue: Transaction was not authorized

Complaint:
As of XX/XX/2023, a total amount of {$2800.00} was spent from my account on unauthorized transactions when my personal information and phone was stolen. After filing a police report, I disputed the transaction and requested that my debit card be blocked, cancelled, and replaced. Maybe even the entire account if that has been compromised. Citibank performed an investigation into the dispute and responded by saying that part of it was fraud and the other part isn't fraud. So they provided me credit back to my account for part of the dispute in the amount of {$760.00}. In reality, I had no business with the merchant and ALL charges were unauthorized. Citibank then made me file an appeal for the decision on the remaining unpaid balance and I still have yet to receive my money back nor have I received an update on the investigation. They have been giving me false promises and misleading information such as, " I will receive a provisional credit within 10 business days while they are conduction the investigation which may take up to 90 days. '' It has been 30 days since I originally filed the claim. I am now set back a month behind on bills because of their inability to protect the funds of a consumer/client.

Hello, Midland Credit Management XXXX has violated 15 US Code 1692c Communication in connection with dent collection, 15 US Code 1692g Validation of debts and 15 US Code 6802 Obligation with respect to disclosures of personal information. 

In your correspondence letter you stated that you sent mail XX/XX/2022 about this alleged account. What address did you send this letter to? I never received this communication and none of the documents youve shown proves that I owe Midland Credit Management. This is not my debt. You guys never sent me the validation letter which is required by law. I ask that you cease furnishing on my consumer report.

Furthermore 15 U.S. Code 6802a states financial institutions may not directly or through any affiliate, disclose to a nonaffiliated third party any nonpublic personal information, unless such Financial institution provides or has provided to a consumer a notice that complies with section 6803 of this title. You may not disclose this information unless you disclose this in writing or electronic or other fo
rm permitted by the regulations prescribed under section 6804 of this title, that such information may be disclosed to such third party : ( b ) the consumer is given the opportunity, before the time that such information is initially disclosed, to direct that such information not be disclosed to such third party : ( consumer reporting agency ). And I must be given instructions on how I can exercise my rights. 

This is a notice to sue because I have not be given any of these disclosures from either company. I asked that this is removed immediately. I don't want any more time wasted on this. 

You must know all of the Laws before you waste your time and cost your company thousands from a lack of knowledge.
