Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc. (FL)

I sent a letter regarding the errors and unfamiliar entries on my credit report, but sadly, I haven't heard back in over 30 days. It seems like my concerns are being overlooked, and I feel taken advantage of. As per Section 611 ( a ), if these issues aren't investigated within 30 days, they should be removed from my credit report without delay. I might need to pursue legal action because of the stress this situation has put me under.

Issue: Closing your account — Can't close your account
Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc. (FL)

My complaint is regarding closing my credit card account with XXXX XXXX. First off I would like to say I was never aware of opening this XXXX XXXX 'XXXX XXXX ' store credit card. I did make a purchase with the store back in XXXX XXXX I believe and did give some of my personal information to a store employee just to see what kind of financing I could qualify for. I however was not interested and decided not to use or open a card with them. Since then, it came to my surprise months later, try 6 months later I 've been receiving XXXX XXXX mail regarding the account they 're telling me I opened. In the meantime I never received a credit card in the mail to activate from XXXX XXXX and was never aware of opening an account and here they send me mail regarding my account ending in this specific number etc. 
I called XXXX XXXX and told them I never received a credit card and was not aware of this account being opened in my name. I also told the woman from XXXX XXXX that I would like to close the card. She did tell me the account was never used and there was XXXX balance on the account, and she told me she would close the account. I made this phone call 2 months ago and now I have again received a letter regarding my account in XX/XX/XXXX, which tells me they never bothered to close the account. 
Please help make sure this credit card account is closed. This has seemed very sketchy to me and I worry that someone will get access to this account and use a card in my name. I would like to close it before that happens and receive verification from XXXX XXXX this account is closed. Thanks!

On XX/XX/XXXX my daughter used XXXX to pay me back {$100.00}. I have the confirmation from her bank, XXXX XXXX. Unfortunately, she had a typo in my email address, but I called XXXX before we knew this and they said they did n't have anything and that it would take 3-4 business days anyway. The money was returned to my daughter on XX/XX/XXXX. On that same date at XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX XXXX XXXX, she resent the money. The confirmation code from XXXX XXXX is XXXX. 
I have been waiting since then. I called XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX and spent 90 minutes on the phone - 45  minutes with the person trying to help me get the app up on my phone and then another 60 minutes  on hold with their " advance support. '' The XXXX case number is XXXX. I gave them ample time to transfer the money. As I XXXX them, I find I 'm not the only one having problems. My thought is that this company should n't be responsible for handling currency transfers if they do n't have it together. I want my money. 
Today, XX/XX/XXXX, I called again, waited on hold for 40 minutes. I spoke with a representative and she wasnt able to help and, as usual, the questions, Are you sure you used the right password? Did the sender put in the right email address? Then it was we have to escalate this to the next level because your account has been locked because of the attempts to get into it. When I asked where my money was, they said it wasnt in my account and that, we dont know where it is, but your daughter can cancel and resend. This is unacceptable.

Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive notice of right to dispute
Company: CCS Financial Services, Inc. (GA)

Subject : Formal Complaint and Dispute of Debt Collection Practices Dear Credit Collection Serv, I am writing to formally dispute the collection account referenced in my credit report and to address multiple violations of my consumer rights under federal law. The collection account in question has been placed on my consumer report by your agency without adhering to the required legal procedures. Below, I outline the specific violations : 1. **Failure to Provide Validation Information** : According to 12 CFR 1006.34 ( b ) ( 5 ), your agency is required to provide specific validation information to me as the consumer. Despite this, you have not furnished any validation information for the alleged debt, yet it appears on my consumer report.

2. **Lack of Opportunity to Dispute the Account** : Under 12 CFR 1006.34 ( c ) ( 4 ) ( i ), I am entitled to a reasonable opportunity to dispute the account. I have not been given any such opportunity to dispute this account prior to it being reported to the consumer reporting agencies.

3. **Use of False, Misleading, and Deceptive Practices** : Your agency is in violation of my consumer rights by using false, misleading, and deceptive means to collect a debt. This is a clear infringement of the guidelines set forth to protect consumers from unfair collection practices.

4. **Improper Furnishing of Information to Consumer Reporting Agencies** : Your agency has no authority to furnish any account information to consumer reporting agencies without providing all required disclosures by law. This is in direct violation of 12 CFR 1006.34 ( d ) and 15 USC 1681-S2 ( 7 ) ( A ).

In light of these violations, I am requesting the following actions be taken immediately : 1. **Removal of the Collection Account** : The erroneous collection account must be removed from all consumer reporting agencies.

2. **Cease and Desist Communication** : Your agency must cease all communication with me regarding this alleged debt unless it is to inform me that the account has been removed from my credit report or to provide the validation information as required by law.

3. **Provide Validation Information** : If you believe the debt to be valid, please provide all the required validation information in compliance with 12 CFR 1006.34 ( b ) ( 5 ). Please consider this letter as a formal complaint and request for investigation into the aforementioned violations. Failure to address these issues promptly will leave me no choice but to escalate this matter to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and other relevant regulatory authorities. I expect a written response within 30 days from the date of this letter detailing the actions taken to resolve these issues.
