My account with XXXX XXXX XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX 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.

Recently, I did an investigation on my credit report which caused XXXX  XXXX upon me and found unverifiable, invalidated, inaccurate, and questionable items that your agency didn't make sure it was reporting 100 % correct. 

In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act, everything has to be 100 % accurate on my credit report and Under 15 U.S. Code 1681e ( b ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681i ( 5 ) these accounts are in violation of not reporting 100 % accurate.

Issue: Advertising and marketing, including promotional offers — Confusing or misleading advertising about the credit card
Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc. (CA)

Comenity Bank underwrites the PayBoo credit card for XXXX & XXXX XXXX in New York. It is a card that is only usable at XXXX & XXXX XXXX. They have special financing offers up to 12 months no interest if paid in full by the end of the 12 months. And if the full amount of the balance is not paid within those 12 months, the entire 12 months worth of withheld interest accrued is then added to the overall balance of the card. 
The problem is that if a consumer uses their card to make more than one transaction on different dates, Comenity does not apply the payments made to the most recently expiring offer, which makes it extraordinarily difficult for consumers to pay off their balances and avoid the huge interest fees. 

For example, if I make a purchase in XX/XX/XXXX for {$1000.00}, I need to pay off that {$1000.00} purchase by XX/XX/XXXX. And then if I make another {$1000.00} purchase in XX/XX/XXXX, it wont be needed to pay off until XX/XX/XXXX. 

The problem is that Comenity, when applying any payments made, does not apply payments to the most imminently expiring balance. So if I make a {$200.00} payment to my account, it splits that {$200.00} between BOTH {$1000.00} transactions and applies it to each. 

Mathematically, this makes it extraordinarily harder for a consumer to pay off XXXX XXXX expiring balance if the money that theyre sending in to try to pay off a promotional balance its expiring in a couple of months is instead being applied to a promotional balance thats expiring in several months. 

Whats worse, his Comenity does not explain this in any of their statements, nor explain how the money is split, nor explain how much money you need to send in an order to get something actually paid off in time. 

They very clearly do this intentionally, in order to deceive their customers, so the customers dont realize all the money theyre sending in isnt actually being applied to the most urgent balance. 

And of course thats done intentionally because Comenity wants to be able to charge customers their exorbitant interest rates instead of having customers pay off their balances on time.

I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the unavailability of my credit data from your bureau. As a diligent consumer who consistently monitors their credit profile, I am troubled by the recent discovery that vital information seems to be missing from your records. Despite being proactive in managing my finances and ensuring timely payments on all accounts, I have encountered significant hurdles due to the absence of my credit data from your bureau. This has not only caused inconvenience but has also put me in a precarious position, especially concerning recent financial transactions and loan applications. I have made numerous attempts to address this issue through your customer service channels, but regrettably, the resolution process has been slow and ineffective. As a result, I find myself facing unnecessary challenges in accessing essential financial services and opportunities.
