Issue: Improper use of your report — Reporting company used your report improperly
Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc. (IL)

On XX/XX/2023, I obtained copies of my consumer reports from the credit reporting agencies ( XXXX, XXXX XXXX, and XXXX ) and was dismayed to discover that your company 's information continues to be reported in a manner that violates the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). As previously communicated in past notices, I have raised concerns about one or more potential violations in the past, emphasizing the importance of complying with consumer rights and FCRA regulations. Specifically, I am referring to the closed accounts associated with the following : 1. Express Account # XXXX Upon reviewing my credit reports, I have noticed that your bank is reporting my experiences with your company in a manner that raises significant concerns about potential violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). The specific matter of concern pertains to the categorization of my line of credit with your company as " utilization '' and the categorization of my payment history / status with your company as transactions, on my consumer reports. 

It is my firm belief, supported by the relevant legal provisions, that your company is unlawfully reporting this information on my consumer reports. I would like to draw your attention to 15 U.S. Code 1681a ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ), which states : " 2 ) Exclusions.Except as provided in paragraph ( 3 ), the term 'consumer report ' does not include ( A ) subject to section 1681s3 of this title, any ( i ) report containing information solely as to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the person making the report. '' The law is unequivocal in its statement that information pertaining to transactions or experiences between the consumer ( myself ) and the person ( Comenity Bank ), making the report, should not be included on consumer credit reports. Utilization is inherently an experience with the line of credit extended between the consumer ( myself ) and your company,, which qualifies it as an experience that should not be reported on my consumer credit reports. 
Payment history or status is inherently transactions, between the consumer ( myself ) and the person ( Comenity Bank ) which qualifies it as information that should not be reported on my consumer credit reports! 

By reporting this transaction on all of my consumer reports, Comenity Bank appears to be in clear violation of the FCRA ( 15 U.S. Code 1681a ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ) ).

Company: Affirm Holdings, Inc (WA)

On XX/XX/XXXX I was at XXXX for probably the XXXX time this summer using my Affirm physical credit card. For the first time I wasnt going in after setting up a payment plan prior to purchase as I was in a hurry. I have been constantly bombarded with notifications and in app advertisements to split your payment within 24 hours of purchase. I have made XXXX of these XXXX purchases with this payment method so I thought no problem. I had {$300.00} avail to split I would have never thought they would break contract. So on this very busy day I made my purchase and went to split my payment with Affirm to XXXX for the 6th time this summer. I was denied splitting this payment due to the length of credit history with Affirm. I have a {$2000.00} line of credit with them. I have been a consumer purchasing things all over the Internet and in physical stores since XX/XX/XXXX. I tried repeatedly to split my payment over the evening of XX/XX/XXXX and morning of XX/XX/XXXX and was repeatedly told I had not been a customer long enough despite splitting at least 5 XXXX purchases prior to this transaction over the summer of XXXX. When I reached out to Affirm after the 24 hours went by to inform them that I was continuously rejected over that first 24 hours to split my transaction due the length of my credit history with Affirm, I was told I should have split my purchase within the first 24 hours. When I reiterated that I was denied splitting on the day of purchase and the reason that I had been denied splitting the transaction ; I was treated extremely rudely and told that I need to learn how to use my card. I have taken a screenshot of my entire transaction history with Affirm, the denial to split my payment after the purchase due to the length of my 3 year credit history with the company, and despite the fact Ive split at least 5 of these purchases over the summer. It shows I had $ XXXX in my linked account, had {$300.00} available to spend to split, and had {$110.00} left over AFTER THIS XXXX purchase TO SPLIT. My last attempt to try to discuss this issue the rep laughed at me openly on the call. I want that called pulled please. They sent a response to a online contact form about maybe splitting if I brought the available balance to my personal checking account back to the $ XXXX that was there at the time of transaction, but that is what the rep the week of XX/XX/XXXX laughed at me about. They first bait and switched me by breaching their terms of service, then said do this and we might allow a split, and then laughed at me and told me tough. I can not even make a partial payment, they want the entire amount which I can not do, and have been trashing my credit score to add literal financial injury to this insult.

Accounts on my credit report have been linked to identity theft without my proper authorization, including a signature. I've already discussed this matter with your organization, and I'm formally requesting the swift removal of these accounts from my report. Their presence has caused significant emotional and financial distress, as they inaccurately represent my credit history and responsibilities.
