Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information is missing that should be on the report
Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc. (GA)

I opened a Bread XXXX XXXX with Bread Financial ( Comenity Bank ) in XXXX. This institution has not reported my card to any credit bureau ( XXXX, XXXX or XXXX ). 

I have made multiple attempts to request that my credit card get reported. I attempted phone calls and messaging their CSR department on their website. The response is the same : " We are having technical difficulties ''. 

I have waited 5 months, but the problem remains unresolved. Here are the messages : From : Comenity Bank Sent : XXXX, XX/XX/2022, XXXX XXXX  ( ET ) To : You Subject : Re : Credit Bureau Reporting Message ID : XXXX I am with Bread Cashback ( tm ) XXXX XXXX ( r ) which handles your XXXX credit card account. I'm here to help with your account needs. 

We recognize that you've recently made a payment, but it is not reported to the credit bureaus. I understand how this can be frustrating for you. 
Because of a recent system update, we are not reporting account updates to credit bureaus while our processes get aligned for accuracy. We have our customers ' best interest in mind, and will soon resume our standard practice of providing updated account information to the consumer reporting agencies with each account billing. 

On behalf of the bank, I apologize for the inconvenience.
