Product: Credit card or prepaid card — Store credit card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc. (FL)

XXXX XXXX, XXXX I made a purchase at Victoria secret and the store associate told me that if I sign up for the card I would receive a discount but nowhere did she tell me that the items would be charged on the credit card all this time I thought I paid for it with my debit card and decided to close the account before they could charge me for just having it but then I start receiving calls and I finally picked up in last week of XXXX and that 's when they told me that there was a charge on the credit card from Victoria secret and since I have n't paid it there has been late fees and I told them that there was a mistake because they failed to mention that the items would be charged on the credit card and the customer service refused to help me and since I work at a school and I do n't work summer I have no way of paying it yet but when I called again to see if I can dispute it the guy says why do n't I get a job and asking me how do I pay my other bills, they need to be fired.

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Trouble with how payments are being handled
Company: MOHELA (IL)

On XX/XX/year>, I received correspondence from the federal government that my loans are being put on an administrative forbearance. This would include an interest rate of 0 % for the forbearance time. According to my student loan servicer website MOHELA, ive been gaining interest every single day since receiving that correspondence. So not only is my account not up-to-date. It is also different than the federal student aid website and if I make any payments during forbearance to help bring down my principal, some of it is going to go towards that interest that I should not even be accruing. I made a payment on XX/XX/XXXX. That half of it went towards interest again that I should not have accrued.

Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc. (AL)

multiple times since XXXX of 2016 I have disputed full debts charged to my card, which were not placed in or anywhere near my location ( 600mi away ). The card was racked up twice to its limit, account is double the limit because XXXX/comenity refuses to acknowledge that the debt is fraudulent. they refuse to report the account as closed, let me deal with a 3rd party collector, or fairly dispute the account. I have on time payment until this timeframe. the debt isnt mine, I have had other cards closed and deleted for less, but this bugger wont follow the law.

Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Company: PORTFOLIO RECOVERY ASSOCIATES INC (MI)

Please see attached.     I received a letter and a check in the amount of {$37000.00}. I am not sure of the exact date I received the letter and check. The check is fro  m Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC due to a Consent Order with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau regarding their Litigation Department collection calling practices.
I was not aware of this consent order or that I would be receiving these funds back. Hence the check was not cashed within the 180 days after issuance and is not void ( I am assuming so, as I have not tried to cash it ). The letter and check came in a plain envelope and appeared to be junk mail.
Upon opening the letter, I contacted Portfolio Recovery o  n  XXXX   XXXX ,    2017  about this issue. I was told  by Portfolio Recover  on  XXXX   XXXX ,  2017  that a check has been reissued and I should receive it with in 7 bu siness days.     Today,  XXXX   XXXX ,  2017 , I called  Portfolio Recovery to inquire about the check as 7 business days has passed. I was told that they are not re-issuing a check because the original date on th e check exceeds 365 days. This is in stark contrast on what I was told on  XXXX   XXXX . I asked for a letter explaining their decision and they said there is not  one. I also asked for a copy of the Consent Order as I never received one. Portfolio Recovery has not provid  ed a copy of the consent order and was told they are not sure if they could provide one. The request will be forwarded to a manager.

I 've requested for XXXX XXXX to send me a copy of the consumer contract with my signature on it as referenced in the Fair Credit Report Act Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) for verification purposes because I do not recognize this account, and it does not belong to me.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (GA)

My account with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history witH XXXX XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. 


This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! 


I demand the late payment reported in 60 days to be removed. 


They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law! 


15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. 


XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ). 


I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. 


This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer! 


Delete the late payments from my consumer reports XXXX

When I investigated my credit report, I realized that some of the information was erroneous. The 3 credit bureaus are required to authenticate these accounts under Sections 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and 611 ( a ) ( 1 ). ( A ). It is not acceptable to treat these reporting accounts as unconfirmed information without producing proof within the legal time range.

Issue: Problem with a purchase or transfer — Card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase or transfer
Company: Block, Inc. (ME)

1st Issue : I called the CashApp support phone number ( ( XXXX ) XXXX ) and spoke with a gentleman regarding a transaction for my debit card that was declined when I had funds to cover the charge in the account. I asked him why this happened in an attempt to ensure it wouldnt happen again he told me that, I had " exceeded the limits for the week on using the card ''. When I asked him what the limit was again to ensure the same mistake didnt happen again. He told me that " he didnt know and couldnt tell from his end ''. I asked to speak with a supervisor or someone who would have more information on this, and he refused to transfer me ; that there was no one that would know the answer. I asked him to provide me with the terms of CashApp and use of the cash app debit card. He said that he did not have access to that and could not send that to me. After this interaction he also went silent and refused to speak with me more because I " kept asking the same question '' .After this interaction I transfered my funds out and decided to close my account. This was on XX/XX/year>. 

2nd issue : Because I received my direct deposit from my payroll company to my cash app account that I had just closed, I submitted a new form to my HR department to exclude the Cash App account. Unfortunately, by the time HR processed that new direct deposit form, the funds had already submitted to my cash app account ( that I had just closed ). I called the Cash App support line on XX/XX/year> to find out if they had received the direct deposit amount from my payroll company and what the process was for them to send that back. I provided them with my phone number my email address and the account number to the Cash App account. The woman that I spoke with said that she was unable to find my account. I asked to speak with someone who could look back or help me with this situation and she said that there was no one that could do that. I asked her what she recommended I do, and she said " to not call them again '', and hung up.

I am writing to formally address issues regarding the unauthorized use of my information by the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, and XXXX XXXX XXXX. According to 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( b ) ( 2 ), consumer reporting agencies are required to obtain written consent before acquiring a consumer 's information. I have never provided such consent to any of these companies, including XXXX, XXXX XXXX, and XXXX XXXX. 

I have requested a signature page with my signature to verify the debt attributed to me, but my request has been denied. Furthermore, I have not given permission to run my credit. Pursuant to 15 U.S. Code 1681n, any consumer reporting agency or furnisher of information that fails to comply with the provisions of this section may be liable for civil damages due to willful noncompliance. 

Despite my efforts, these entities continue to use my identity, even after I have sent cease and desist letters. My correspondence specifically requested that XXXX XXXX cease all communication with me, in accordance with the law 's definition of communication as the conveyance of information through any medium. 

My credit report is private data, and inquiries made by third parties without my authorization are violations. I was advised to submit a complaint to the reporting agency to have these inquiries removed. However, XXXX refused to assist without a formal report and did not provide an alternative method for submission or uploading the document online. 

Moreover, the companies involved have refused to explain their debt verification process. From my understanding, they merely rely on my historical activity without proper verification. 

I seek immediate resolution to these matters and expect the unauthorized use of my personal information to cease forthwith.
