Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Other debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint:
4 years ago, XX/XX/XXXX, I terminated my XXXX account. They had told me as long as I return the phone, it will terminate my contract with no fees. I went into the XXXX store and returned my phone. I asked the representative if I owed anything at all, several times, to which they said no and provided me a receipt saying that I owed {$0.00} to XXXX. I thought I was all clear. 1 year later, XX/XX/XXXX, I applied for a loan on a car and XXXX showed up on my credit report saying I owed {$680.00}. At the time, I luckily still had the receipt. I went into the store and provided the receipt. The representative said that they would take care of it, I did not owe anything to XXXX and they would send a letter to IC Systems saying that I did not owe anything. Again, I thought I was clear. 3 years later, XX/XX/XXXX, I am applying to buy a house and again XXXX shows up on my credit report with the same charge of {$680.00}. I immediately call XXXX, I speak with a supervisor named XXXX. XXXX says that I do not owe anything to XXXX and it is just though the debt collector IC Systems. He said that he sent a note to IC Systems that I am clear of all balances to XXXX and do not owe anything and I could call IC Systems right away. I got part of this conversation with XXXX recorded because when I asked for a receipt of this, he refused. Upon calling IC Systems, I find nothing was sent to them clearing my balance and I ask for a receipt and they also refuse on their end. I try to call XXXX back and can not get a hold of XXXX and get hung up on not once but several times. Finally I manage to get a hold of a supervisor, who was absolutely rude and says that the balance above is from terminating my contract early ( first time hearing this 4 years later ). I looked it up online and it says that for XXXX in some cases there is a early termination fee, of $ XXXXmonth with a max of {$350.00} and {$100.00} for the phone making the {$680.00} not possible. Upon asking, they have never been able to fully explain the charges just the overall number. However, I was told for the past 4 years that I did not owe anything and had {$0.00} balance anytime I spoke with a representative. Nobody has even tried to contact me for the balance in the last 4 years, I only found out through my credit reports. Please resolve this as XXXX and IC Systems has ruined my credit for a reason I am not responsible for and for the past 4 years.

Complaint:
I received a letter from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX about an alleged debt on XX/XX/2019. I dispute this and asked for validation and verification of this alleged debt with a phone call I made to them in the second week of XX/XX/XXXX. They responded on XX/XX/2019 with a letter from their company on their letterhead with very minimum information. This information still lacked the proper evidence to validate this was my debt. It did not clarify this debt belonged to me, so I disputed it again with a another telephone call around the first week of XX/XX/XXXX along with a letter. In my letter I asked for specific items to verify that this was my debt and this company was legit and made sure they were aware of my rights in this disputing process since they still hadn't validated this debt or proved this company was in good standing to collect in my state. I waited to hear back from them within the legal amount of timeframe and still nothing. I called back again on XX/XX/XXXX to check the status and they had already put this on my credit report without legally verifying this was my debt. This company violated my rights as a consumer and broke the law. They didn't send me any documentation I requested of these accounts until after they reported to my credit file. 

Accounts were for {$190.00} & {$410.00}

Product: Mortgage
Sub-product: Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Trouble during payment process

Complaint:
Hello. My wife and I took advantage of the mortgage federal forbearance period with Chase Bank. We stayed in frequent contact and everything was fine until we exited the forbearance period. I was told by chase mort reps on the direct line several times after making the first month payment we would be able to setup auto draft for the 2nd month onward ( XXXX ). I was just told this would now be impossible until XXXX. 1 issue is the payment was applied to a date several months behind and not the current month of XXXX. This is exactly opposite of what a rep said while taking my payment for XXXX We'll ignore the lying good/bad intended for now. The 2nd issue is with auto draft we can pay half the mortgage every 2 weeks. This helps our family budget out finances, save, and pay debt faster on those 3 paycheck months. By not having access to this auto draft in XXXX ( which was promised and assured as fact by several diff chase reps on diff days over months leading to our exiting forbearance ) we are now being put into a costly short term financial situation. We asked chase how this process would work so we all would be clear. Now they are saying different things based on the day, ignoring the words of licensed agents on previously recorded lines, and being extremely ambiguous, circular, & confusing in how we are supposed to pay the note current. This is either a mortgage servicing company blatantly trying to take advantage of federal ambiguity to recover its own book numbers by fudging dates/payments or sheer incompetence by nervous licensed call reps who say whatever they want to get the caller off the line. The reps and/or servicing dept are XXXX. As a fellow financier with multiple licenses I find this both insulting and disgusting. It gives all of us a bad name. If we were told to expect a full monthly payment we would have planned on it. We were told a half biweekly was going to happen.

Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: VA
Product: Credit card or prepaid card
Sub-product: Store credit card
Issue: Fees or interest
Sub-issue: Charged too much interest

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX I was told if I opened a XXXX credit card that I could get a XXXXmonth no finance charge promotion plan on a purchase for XXXX, so I opened the credit card. On XX/XX/XXXX I called Comenity bank and spoke to an agent and requested auto-pay for 12 payments to be paid off by the promotion expiration date. 
My XXXX statement showed the final payment for XX/XX/XXXX was never made and the accrued finance charges of XXXX and a late fee of XXXX were charged and the balance of XXXX. I called Comenity Bank to find out why the last payment was not made and why the charges were assessed. I spoke to an agent, which then escalated the call to another agent. I told the agent that the account was supposed to be set-up for 12 auto-pays by the agent on XX/XX/XXXX. She then put me on a brief hold, then returned to the call and said she would take off the finance fees and late fees and I only owed the balance of XXXX, which she then took the payment from me over the phone. 
On XX/XX/XXXX I received a credit alert that my credit score fell from XXXX to XXXX because Comenity Bank reported late payments. I made a written dispute and they said because the statements explained the promotional balance was due by XX/XX/XXXX and it was not paid by then I owe the money. I am being charged monthly finance charges on a finance charge. 
I feel this was a scam by the company. Have customer open up credit card with promo plan. Only set-up customer up for 11 equal auto-pays, not 12. So when the 12 payment is not made, they are charged the accrued XXXXmonth interest at 29.99 %. The dispute letter states they did an investigation but they are taking no responsibility for their agents actions on both phone calls I made to Comenity Bank.

You have listed incorrect accounts that should not be reflecting on my credit report at all.

Investigate these accounts or I will see to it that I will pursue legal actions.

Issue: Problem when making payments

Complaint:
This company only provides statements via their online portal and app. Their app and customer portal have both been inaccessible since XXXX with no email communication and no paper communication nor statements sent. This is an installment loan that I took out to receive XXXX treatment. As it currently stands, I have no idea how much I owe on this loan, I don't know when my introductory rate period expires, and I can't make any additional payments. I believe they are violating customer 's rights by not providing this vital information and by blocking early payoff requests. Hold times with customer service are extremely long and the representatives don't provide solutions or answers.

I was made aware of some accounts reporting on my credit that does not belong to me. The reason I found out is that I was trying to buy a new car today XX/XX/2020 and when they ran my credit to see if I qualified for the loan, I was told that I did not get approved due to these accounts. None of those accounts are mine nor did I ever allow anyone to open them in my name.

I did not benefit anything at all from these accounts nor did I make any transactions, purchases or payments towards any of these accounts.
