Issue: Fees or interest
Sub-issue: Charged too much interest

Complaint:
In XX/XX/XXXX I purchased a camera from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and used my XXXX XXXX  XXXX Comenity account expecting 0 % interest if paid in 12 months. In XX/XX/XXXX there was an interest charge added to the bill. I made several calls to both XXXX XXXX XXXX and Comenity bank about this. It took until XX/XX/XXXX before Comenity agreed to look into this. In XXXX I received a letter stating that I would refunded XXXX and the interest rate would be changed. I was never credited the above amount and have continued to be charged interest on the account. I have made monthly payments to the account such that the initial amount was paid in full over the 12 month time frame but the interest has continued to accumulate. I have made multiple calls to customer service who tell me they do not have any ability to fix this as the division they need to contact has not responded to them. I was most recently told to send a message via their website where I stated everything written above as well as sending them copies of the letters they sent to me and the response was that I had never contacted them in the past ( yet I have the letters they sent me ). I want the interest charges removed according to letters they sent.

Complaint:
On XXXX XXXX I received a copy of my credit report and noticed several discrepancies on my credit report being reported as collections. I do not notice these accounts and never applied for them. I then reached out to XXXX, XXXX, and Experian to let them know of the incorrect info they where reporting as well as to report that I do not own these accounts. An investigation was done and these accounts were verified and they even updated the personal information on these accounts from first being fraudulent information to now the correct information that does belong to me. How is that lawful? I mean to update an account with someones personal information after they had already told you the account didn't belong to them is wrong in so many ways. By doing research I found out how to submit a complaint through CFPB. However, after doing so these account where closed. Yet are still being reported on my credit report. I am in need of my report to be corrected so that I may be able to utilize my credit to move forward in life. Please help me!

Complaint:
Subject : Dispute Regarding Inaccurate Debt Reporting Dear Sir/Madam, I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to formally dispute the presence of a debt on my credit report, which has been reported by a third-party collection agency listed on my report. I would like to clarify that I do not have any contractual agreement with the said collection agency, and therefore, I am not responsible for the alleged debt they are attempting to collect. The account is listed twice once under XXXX and another under debt collectors name as well. 

It is my understanding that the collection agency acquired this debt for a significantly reduced amount, often referred to as " pennies on the dollar. '' In doing so, they assumed the risk associated with the lack of a signed contract from me, the consumer. I believe it is unjust that I am being penalized for a debt that I do not owe, and it is negatively impacting my creditworthiness. 

I kindly request that you investigate this matter thoroughly and remove the disputed item from my credit report. As per the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), it is your obligation to ensure the accuracy of the information you report. In this case, the inclusion of the alleged debt is inaccurate and misleading, as I have never entered into any contractual agreement with the collection agency. 

Furthermore, I have taken the liberty of cc'ing the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) to assist in the resolution of this matter. I have been struggling with this issue since 2017, and despite my efforts, I have not been able to find a satisfactory solution. The negative impact caused by this inaccurate information being reported on my credit report is affecting my financial opportunities and overall well-being.

I urge you to take prompt action in investigating this dispute and rectifying the inaccuracies on my credit report. I expect to receive a written response from your office within the legally mandated 30-day period, informing me of the actions taken to address this matter.

Thank you for your attention to this dispute. I trust that you will handle this matter with the utmost professionalism and urgency it deserves.

Sincerely,

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

Complaint:
I refinanced my condominium ( just under {$700000.00} ) with XXXX XXXX, closing in XX/XX/2021. I made three payments to XXXX ( XXXX, XXXX, and XX/XX/2021 ) when I received information from Pentagon Federal Credit Union ( PenFed ) that my loan had been sold to them. I registered on their website for automatic payments in mid-XXXX, but noticed that my XX/XX/XXXX payment didn't appear on my bank website. When I checked my PenFed account on their website, it showed I was delinquent for XXXX, despite the fact that I paid XXXX in full to XXXX. I called PenFed on XXXX XXXX and reported the problem. They said they would look into it. They said it looked like XXXX had transferred the principal amount of my payment, but not the interest. I also reported this to XXXX XXXX the same day and received an email saying they would investigate. On XXXX XXXX, I received an email from XXXX XXXX  ( with whom I have another loan ) reporting a negative report on my credit record. PenFed filed a delinquency for the full amount of the loan balance 12 days after I reported their error to them. I have been working with them since them but they have failed to remove the erroneous delinquency report from my credit record, causing my score to drop to very poor score. This seems to be a blatant violation of the Real Estate Settlement and Procedures Act, Section C ( 1 ), which provides for a 60-day grace period for reporting to credit bureaus. I have been in contact with Vice Presidents from both XXXX and PenFed but they have not removed this erroneous report from my credit record. I have made all payments timely. I am attaching email correspondence with XXXX XXXX showing that they acknowledge the error.
