Complaint:
Experian Has refused to send me documentation used to " verify/validate '' the debt that I have several times I have requested. Experian on numerous occasions sends me computer generated responses and does not look into the full extent of my dispute reasoning. Experian says taht I need to provide additional relevant information and information that was not presented when previously disputed. Well if Experian would actaully read the disputes and notice that I am asking for documentation and information that was used in the alleged " verification process/validation process ''. If they would answer that response than my letters would stop but since they have not answered them than I have every right to dispute and send letters. Experian has an obligation to fulfill the requests that the consumer asks for.

Complaint:
I had a credit account with Paypal credit. I could not pay the balanced owed, so in XXXX of 2020, Paypal wrote off the debt as bad debt. A charge off. My credit score has gone down.The only way I can improve my credit is to give the past due bill to paypal, and not a debt collector.Paying a debt collector will not improve my credit and I will still owe Paypal. How can I owe XXXX XXXX collection agency any money when I did not incur the debt with them? How can I be sued when Paypal has written the debt off as bad debt? XXXX XXXX isn't listed anywhere on my credit report. I did not even know I was being sued until a summons appeared on my door. I never entered into an agreement with them.

Complaint:
I have been a victim of identity theft. When I found out I immediately created accounts with all 3 credit bureaus and freezed my credit. The person that stole my identity was able to easily bypass the username and password on Experian.com by simply creating a new account they had everything they needed ss #, birthday, address, etc. They pulled my credit report and with that information tried to hack my other financial accounts. Why does Experian not have two factor identification? I rest my password and email with experian and the person that stole my information again created a new account and email. Is there no way to stop someone from accessing your credit from these credit bureau agencys?

Complaint:
On two separate dates in XX/XX/2019, I submitted requests for credit monitoring due to the Equifax Breach.

Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: NY
Product: Debt collection
Sub-product: Credit card debt
Issue: Communication tactics
Sub-issue: Frequent or repeated calls

Complaint:
As I currently work and live in. XXXX, I made a payment a few days late for purchases made on my XXXX credit Card issues for XXXX XXXX XXXX. Upon a visit to the US in XX/XX/XXXX, I realised that XXXX has been charging me monthly late fees and interest on my late fee. I called them and we agreed that I pay a fee of {$30.00} which I paid by electronic check drawn on XXXX XXXX  during the conversation on XX/XX/XXXX. The balance of the late fees was to have been written off at that time. I returned to the US in XX/XX/XXXX for an XXXX   and have realised that despite the agreement made on XX/XX/XXXX,  XXXX did not write off te balance and have been adding monthly late fees so that now the balance is {$430.00}. I called them and asked that they replay the conversation I had with them on XX/XX/XXXX, but all they say is that they will start legal action to collect this debt. I obviously can not force them to investigate the recording ( hopefully you can ), but this is such an abusive practice on their part.
