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

Complaint:
On numerous occasions since 2018, I have been disputing information on my credit report regarding three Comenity Bank store cards ; each time I have disputed, I have had all information come back as " verified '' despite the fact Comenity Bank refuses to show me verifiable proof that the debt amount is correct, that the debt indeed belongs to me, and the debt is indeed collectible. I have even tried to contact Alliance Data, which is listed in the " Disputed Debts '' section of Comenity Bank 's credit card agreement, to no avail. 

At this point, I want a thorough investigation into these accounts and want ALL facets of each account to be verified. As Comenity Bank is listed on my credit report with three charged off debts, the burden of proof rests on the laurels of accurate information purveyed by the company. 

The three accounts in question are : Comenity Bank/XXXX XXXX -  XXXX, Comenity Bank/XXXX - XXXX and Comenity Bank/XXXX  - XXXX ( these are how they appear on my reports ). 

If these accounts were sold, I would like to know for how much and to whom.

It is honestly trifling.

Complaint:
Happy Friday! - I was shocked when I reviewed my credit report this week and I found multiple inaccuracies on my credit report from the 3 major credit bureaus from a collection company that I never have dealt with before. I've attempted several times to ratify the issue with the original creditors and credit bureaus and they still reporting inaccurate, unverifiable information. I have disputed this item with the credit reporting agency and they reported you confirmed the account as valid. I honestly do not believe to ever have any relationship with this collection agency or original creditor. Also there are several inaccuracies with this account the way it's reporting and that's a total violation of FCRA and FDCPA laws and regulations. In a good faith effort to resolve the matter amicably, I must demand proof of this debt, specifically the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature, as well as proof of your authority in this matter. Absent such proof, you must correct any erroneous reports of this past debt as mine. I am writing to request that you please provide the following information : 1. Please evidence your authorization under 15 USC 1692 ( e ) and 15 USC 1692 ( f ) in this alleged matter. 2. What is your authorization of law for your collection of information? 3. What is your authorization of law for your collection of this alleged debt? 4. Please evidence your authorization to do business or operate in this state. 5. Please evidence proof of the alleged debt, including the alleged contract or other instrument bearing my signature. 6. Please provide a complete account history, including any charges added for collection activity.

You have 30 days upon receipt of this letter to provide strict proof of contract. In the event you can not provide strict proof of contract, you must cease and desist any and all collection efforts and immediately remove any derogatory information reported to the consumer reporting agencies. In addition, you will need to provide me your agreement, in writing, that you are closing your file, ceasing collecting activity, and deleting all information related to this reference number from any and all credit reports youve furnished the information to. In the event you transfer this account to an attorney without providing proof of contract, and proving your claim, he/she will be immediate  reported to the XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX for code of ethics violations.

Sub-product: Loan
Issue: Getting a loan or lease
Sub-issue: Fraudulent loan

Complaint:
I am once again responding to the previous complaints that I have made against this company. I stand firm in the fact that I did not consent to have this vehicle in my name. The only document I signed regarding this vehicle was giving XXXX permission to deposit the post-dated check that I provided as part of the down payment for the vehicle. 
I have inspected the document that Credit Acceptance submitted as the signature page and, once again, I did not sign this document. Not sure if my signature was transposed onto this document but I did not knowingly sign it. I have gone to the town where the car was originally purchased -- XXXX XXXX AL -- but the car lot no longer exists. 
I have been doing research on this company and I've noticed a lot of complaints similar to mine. 

Because Credit Acceptance is adamant that I willingly consented to this contract, I will instead dispute the validity of the contract, based on federal and state laws.

Complaint:
The credit bureaus are allowing hard inquiries and hard hits affect my credit score whereas it was at a fair credit score and now at its lowest ever. Before the end of XXXX XXXX XX/XX/2023, my credit score was at XXXX with Experian, XXXX and slightly low in XXXX XXXX XXXX. Hard inquiries from unknown sources started to hit and attack my credit score and now it's as low as XXXX. I cancelled my credit repair online subscriptions because the money that I was shelling out didn't make any difference. I went through the process of contacting by writing a letter and disputing accounts that were saying inaccurate information. After spending over {$50.00} in both credit monitoring and credit repair companies online that guarantees that results will be reflected after thirty days, now my credit score is as low as it have ever been. I see dealerships that I don't recognize and other companies that have used my social security to affect my credit score and drop it down more than XXXX pts. I even took an unsecured credit card to boost it but while seeking solutions to help increase it is decreasing what little effort that I am trying to do. So what's the use of acting in good faith and follow the steps of improving ones ' credit score but these type of unexplained actions are occurring impacting your credit by more than XXXX points over night. How is that done?

Company: AMERICAN HONDA FINANCE CORP
State: TX
Product: Vehicle loan or lease
Sub-product: Loan
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Information is missing that should be on the report

Complaint:
I secured an auto loan through XXXX XXXX XXXX ( American Honda Finance ) in XX/XX/XXXX. I have made all on-time payments and have paid as agreed according to my contract. Due to unforeseen circumstances, I filed for chXXXX bankruptcy on XX/XX/XXXX. I contacted American Honda Finance on XX/XX/XXXX and spoke with XXXX XXXX. I communicated that I would be re-affirming the auto loan to continue to pay outside the bankruptcy. I was told that once the re-affirmation agreement was received and the bankruptcy was discharged, my onetime payments would continue to be reported to the credit bureaus. This was the deciding factor to indeed proceed with a reaffirmation agreement and not surrender the vehicle. The reaffirmation agreement was presented to me and I signed it XX/XX/XXXX and American Honda Finance filed it with the court XX/XX/XXXX. The agreement was a reinstatement of my original contract terms with Honda/XXXX  XXXX. I once again confirmed with XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX that my payments would report the the credit bureaus after my discharge on XX/XX/XXXX and was told the account would start reporting payment history after discharge. As of XX/XX/XXXX, my bankruptcy is discharged. I received an email alert from FICO on XX/XX/XXXX that there were changes to my credit report and discovered that XXXX/Honda Finance had removed my entire account history from all ( 3 ) credit bureaus. I also discovered that my score declined between 50-70 points among the bureaus. I called XXXX/Honda Finance immediately on XX/XX/XXXX and spoke with XXXX who advised me that any account included in bankruptcy, regardless of reaffirming the account and regardless of the current payment status would no longer be reported to the credit bureaus. I asked when this policy change and she stated " recently '' and could not provide a date. I was not allowed the opportunity to speak with a manger. I now have a 60 month remaining term, a balance of {$40000.00}, a monthly payment of {$880.00} and a car that is only worth {$35000.00}. I will not be able to refinance this vehicle, and my credit has been harmed with this policy change. This is highly unethical as I have made all payments on time and I re-affirmed my obligation to Honda/XXXX XXXX with the promise that my timely payments would be reported to all bureaus as before once my discharge was final.
