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

Complaint:
As of XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I owed XXXX XXXX, dba Comenity Bank {$450.00}. On XXXX XXXX, XXXX I paid them {$300.00} although my payment was n't due until XXXX XXXX, XXXX. The mortgage company that I am working with to buy a home required that I pay this account in full so on XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I paid the remaining {$140.00}, still days before the due date. Since they did n't show the now {$0.00} balance on my online statement we had a three way call with someone from Comenity Bank along with myself and someone from my mortgage company to confirm that I had a XXXX balance. A few days later I go to check and see if the online statement now reflects a XXXX balance and instead I see a balance of {$6.00} which was added to my account a week AFTER I paid this account in full. When I questioned it this is the response I received from Comenity Bank : " Your question in regards to the interest charge is understandable. On your previous statement, we informed you of an update to your Credit Card Agreement ( CCA ). This notification was to inform you that beginning on your next statement, purchases made outside a Grace Period would be assessed trailing interest resulting in a finance charge after the balance is paid in full. Interest is charged from the transaction date until the balance is paid in full. Since interest is calculating until the date the payment is received, you will receive a statement for the interest charged in the previous billing cycle. If you pay the trailing interest finance charge statement by the due date, you will not be assessed finance charges during that bill cycle the following month. '' Keep in mind that I had not made any purchases at XXXX XXXX in months and also I, like many people these days, pay my bill online. While I do receive a " paper bill '', I do n't even look at it as I know when my payment is due and I pay it days before it is due so they slipped in this " trailing interest '' without me knowing about it. I feel it is completely unethical for any company to do this especially when they have already charged the consumer over 20 % interest. While this {$6.00} does n't affect me financially, I feel it is an underhanded practice and should be investigated. Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

From about XX/XX/XXXX when I notified Discovery Bank that I am calming XXXX on their payment protection plan they have tried to take more money out of my bank then I authorized. I would authorize a {$100.00} payment on each of my card to them, they would try to take from {$100000.00} to {$10000.00}! then would charge my cards with that amount as if it was a transfer to my bank! I would call them they would say " computer error we fix ''! they did not fix the " computer error. They even got {$5000.00} from one of my other credit cards that I did not authorize. Seems that Discover has been sued a number of time for stealing for consumers!

Sub-issue: Debt is not yours

Complaint:
Upon checking my credit report, all 3 major bureaus Hunter Warfield is listed in collections. I have never had any accounts or dealing with this company. I did not sign any contracts with this company. I requested that they validate the account in which they are attempting to collect the debt and they have not done so. I requested this on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX I received a copy of a lease for XXXX/XXXX/XXXX that expired XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. I am being billed for rent in which I did not reside at the location/residence. This company states that I owe them and they are demanding that I pay this amount. They are insisting that this is my debt. However, it is not. They refuse to remove this information off my credit report, as it is wrong. Each month this company reports to the three credit bureaus raising the alleged amount of debt.

Company: BMO HARRIS BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: SC
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Checking account
Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low
Sub-issue: Overdrafts and overdraft fees

Complaint:
I opted out of an Overdraft Protection program for my debit card account which explicitly states that they would decline the card should there be insufficient funds in the account and not charge an NSF fee. Upon noticing a NSF charge I called the bank. They referenced a Regulation E which explains that the opt out does not apply to " recurring charges '' the definition of such was not adequately explained. They refused to refund me the overdraft fee of {$35.00}, even for this first offense. I mentioned that since my account is in negative balance and therefore can not close the account without paying the NSF fee, I would let it become inactive. The repercussions per the agent I spoke with would be another {$50.00} in fees and then having a collection agency attempt to collect his amount. In the meantime, this would effect my credit score and I would not be allowed to open any other checking accounts. This is quite a hefty fee to pay for a poorly worded policy that anyone could have been duped.

Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone

Complaint:
I have tried on multiple occasions to get Transunion to remedy inquiries that have been placed on my credit report which lack permissible purpose. Their answer is always " Inquiries are factually based. '' Any complaints in writing are met with a condescending explanation of what inquiries are, and how long they stay on a credit report. Their assertion that inquiries are n't disputable is a violation of the FCRA, as is their equally incorrect assertion that the consumer does n't need to " put anything in writing '' for the inquiry to have permissible purpose. ( Section 604 of the FCRA would contradict that claim. ) Then, when I write to each creditor that I am disputing inquiries with, and they agree that the inquiry should n't have been placed on my credit report, they call Transunion and are told that they ca n't make changes to my credit report. This is after Transunion reps told me that I would have to dispute the inquiry directly with the creditors. And finally, when the creditors do n't respond to my written disputes, or the letters are sent back marked " return to sender, '' Transunion reps tell me that my only remaining option is to visit the creditor personally, because I 'm seriously going to drive from North Carolina to Texas or California, all because Transunion wo n't give me the correct information and proper tools to do their job for them. XXXX is equally obstinate concerning not allowing the dispute of inquiries, which I still maintain violates the FCRA, but at least their representatives are friendlier while refusing to listen.
