Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Other features, terms, or problems — Problem with rewards from credit card
Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc. (MA)

Comenity Capital Bank sent an email on XX/XX/23 that rewards cash of {$100.00} would be submitted to my DDA. On XX/XX/23 a deposit of {$1.00} was received. I called customer service on XX/XX/23 and was told Technology is working on a solution and expect resolution within a week. I received no written communication about Comenity 's Technology deficiencies. On XX/XX/23, I again had to call customer service and had to elevated to the supervisor as I could not understand the representative. Only when I spoke to the Supervisor was I informed that 1 ) I was correct there was not communication from Marketing ; 2 ) Technology has rectified the program ; and XXXX ) I should expect payment by XX/XX/XXXX. No written communication of their errors and having to wait 5 plus weeks for resolution, in my opinion, is unacceptable. I asked to closed the account on XX/XX/23 and will never have an account with XXXX XXXX. ( My account was with XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX, but XXXX XXXX  XXXX sold the XXXX XXXX XXXX Account XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX. )

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (OK)

My account with TRANSUNION 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 ( MONTHS REPORTING LATE ) 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.

TRANSUNION 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

Opened a Bank of America Account and Deposited a {$100000.00} check ( from a trust ) in-person at the bank ( Bank of America ) - ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX I was told the check would clear fast due to being in person, among other reasons. 

XXXX days pass and the check cleared, I moved {$25000.00} to my checking and took {$2500.00} from checking and moved it to the XXXX investing portion of the bank of america app and invested it in XXXX XXXX. 

The next day my account is in the negative on savings as it appears the check went back into hold status. The {$22000.00} and {$2500.00} were untouched and the account appeared as follows NEGATIVE- {$25000.00} Overall Checking - {$22000.00} XXXX - {$2500.00} After XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX my friend whom I owe money to asked if the check cleared yet and if he could get some of the money I owe him back. 
I send {$500.00} via XXXX to see if XXXX works as I don't know their limits or whatnot. 
After a day the payment was declined so I contacted the bank via chat representative on the app asking why the payment was declined. 

After I assured the online rep there is no more trusted person than the person I am sending it too, that I owe him about {$4000.00} and would be paying him throughout the week via XXXX ; and when I tried again it worked ; sent {$500.00} to XXXXXXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX ; who lives within XXXX miles from my house mind you and has the same bank. 

The following day I sent out {$1500.00} to the same person ; XXXX XXXX, XXXX, and it worked and bought doordash later that day. 
Little did I know that this would be the start of series of long hold times on phone with a brick wall known as Bank of America, who assured me every time ( 4 times ) I was in great hands and would deal with the problems. After the second time of them saying " Call back in XXXX hours '' with XXXX assurance it would actually be XXXX  % solved I decided this complaint was justified. 

I am not a XXXX XXXX XXXX woman, I am not being scammed ; I was trying to repay a friend. 
I plan on traveling this year and the next, and upon research this is quite common problem with Bank of America and I have a fear of my cards being frozen for another week and being stranded in the middle of nowhere.

I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion data breach.
