Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc. (FL)

I bought furniture at XXXX XXXX. They delivered it with big damaged imperfections. They took it back, and sent me more unacceptable products. The dielivery men gave me a hard time. The customer service people said the second set of imperfections were part of the design, which was preposterous. I decided to return everything. I had paid for everything. I talked to their billing people, who agreed I had paid for everything, and that I had overpaid by {$55.00}. Then XXXX XXXX reversed their position, said I still owed them XXXX. I did not, so I cancelled/reversed the payment through my credit union. XXXX XXXX then illegally billed the XXXX XXXX credit card, which XXXX XXXX requested I open when I was initially going through the confusing procedure of trying to pay them, at the store when I finalized the purchase. I now believe they do this to make sure they have a way to get their money back from people who have disputes and problems. They have now illegally billed me XXXX in late fees on top of a {$55.00} charge that I did not owe them. I have tried negotiating with them, put the bills into dispute three or four times, and they keep coming back with a denied dispute. 
I have provided them with names of people I have talked to, what those people said, yet I continue to be ignored. When I tell them the names of the employees who gave verbal agreement over the phone, by several of their employees that I do not owe them the {$55.00}, this too has been denied. I offered to pay the {$55.00}, they refused. I offered to return the picture that they say I have not paid for. They refused. I asked for copies of all notes and correspondence, they say they do not have access to my records any more. I am not sending copies of all correspondence, as there is too much. No one at their company verifies any thing they told me, and they just keep adding more and more late fees. I do not know if they reported me to the credit bureaus yet, but my score has gone down. I am a senior citizen, and do not appreciate them taking advantage of the fact that they are abusing me via credit card fraud.

I went to cosign for my mom a car and was denied due to accounts on my credit that are not mine and dont know anything about. This is really a crazy because Im confused how this could happen. I thought maybe the dealership was just giving me a hard time so I went to my bank to apply for a personal loan because I knew they would be honest unlike some car dealerships. I was also denied there as well. I'm doing this on my own behalf and i contacted my ftc and police department. Please remove these items that are not mine.

I was added as an authorized user to a credit card without my consent. The card holder is my father, and he has my social security number. We are no longer in contact and I do not know how to reach him as we are estranged. I continue to receive negative ratings on my credit report due to his high balances and late payments. This is affecting my credit rating. I contacted the Citibank customer service sometime last year and they stated that they were unable to remove me as an authorized user, and that I had to contact the cardholder to do so. 
The credit card is reported on my credit report as, " CITIBANK CBNA/XXXX  '' and the source is reported as, " XXXX. '' The address of the card company is reported as, " XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, SD XXXX. '' Any help with this matter is much appreciated!

Prime Acceptance has been difficult to work with from the beginning. My girlfriend was the primary person on the application and she tried returning the product less than 5 days of having it. She called the salesmen and the company in XXXX and they told her too bad she had to keep the product even though the loan was " secured ''. My girl friend left her job because they were calling multiple times per day and her manager was mad that she was receiving personal calls at work. They threatened to garnish her wages  and told her that they would make her pay either way. They have not updated any information on my XXXX report since XX/XX/XXXX.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (NY)

In XX/XX/2018 I discovered an inaccurate item posted to my bill from XXXX. I questioned it by phone and asked for documentation ... numerous times ... and numerous times it was promised and even said to have been mailed when XXXX 's own records proved it wasn't. ( When it was finally provided along with copies of the log I'd requested, it was apparent that I had been lied to on the phone re their sending anything to me that identified the basis of the disputed charge. ) This account was on auto pay/full balance. After telling XXXX, by phone to stop grabbing the money from my checking account ... to no avail, I had to order a stop payment against XXXX at my Bank ( for which I had to pay {$35.00} ) .When XXXX got the stop payment info yet another XXXX rep called me and finally looked at the account and recognised the error. Where upon I paid the full true balance due and directed that the account be closed, which was done, not quite timely ... but done. 
That last rep I spoke to also promised this misadventure would not be reflected on my credit report .... However, when I checked my credit report today ... I found XXXX reported I was delinquent for 3 months. My " deliquency '' was due to my refusal to pay the balance until I could get info re its legitimacy and until XXXX looked at it and corrected their error in wrongly seeking payment for an amount for which I was not liable ... and for taking that amount out of my linked bank account. 
While XXXX ethically should be responsible for compensating me for the hours I spent trying to correct their error as well as the {$35.00} stop payment charge I incurred that finally got their attention, I would be happy if they removed the adverse info from my otherwise pristine credit history .... although I wouldn't mind the {$35.00} as well. My resolve to never to do business with XXXX again ( which one of  their reps arrogantly replied was of of no matter to them, when I spoke to her ) will assure this never happens again, at least not with XXXX.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Card was charged for something you did not purchase with the card
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. (IL)

somehow a local hotel billed my credit card by mistake for a business associates room. They admitted this was a mistake and would reverse the charge - but have not yet done so. 

The problem is that Chase does not, and will not file a report or dispute on this, dispute the charge not being approved. 

The number given for fraud or to report a charge would only hang up. After 30 minutes trying other numbers I was finally directed to someone who directed me to someone else, who would not file a dispute, and when I asked to speak to a manager, he hung up on

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Don't agree with the fees charged
Company: Navient Solutions, LLC. (MN)

I have a student loan being serviced with Navient. My payments are due on the XXXX of every month. This month, XXXX, I was working a lot of hours and realized I forgot to make my payment. When I logged on XX/XX/19 I noticed my loan balance was {$140.00} higher than it was last month. I've been tracking the balance and payment application for a while. I assume this is a late fee, but I was only 3 days late and this seems really excessive. I tried calling customer service and the number I called had two options one to  speak with someone about loan forgiveness and the other sent me to survey about vacation and when I declined it hung up. I tried calling back several times, and each time received a different message and was not able to get the call to go through. I've made several complaints against the Navient as I feel the payments aren't being applied correctly and I've see what appears to be interest charges I don't understand. I've called in the past and have not been able to get a sufficient explanation. Now it appears I can't even speak with anyone regarding my account. I know they have a lot of class action law suites open but what are borrows who have them supposed to do if they can't even speak to someone about their loans anymore?
