Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc. (TX)

I learned thru a 3rd party credit monitoring account XXXX XXXX XXXX that I was assessed a whopping {$2200.00} finance charge with only a balance remaining of {$880.00} on an original load of {$6000.00} and approved credit of {$10000.00}. I checked my balance regularly ( monthly ) on the Comenity website and was never notified on this website or a formal written letter indicating that the original term agreement was to expire XX/XX/XXXXXXXX  ( I learned of this XX/XX/XXXX and paid off the the remaining balance of {$880.00} and attempted to file a dispute with the customer service to resolve this amicably. They have blatantly refused and the action they are taking is " deceptive '' at best and " deceitful '' at worst. This has resulted in a credit utilization increase of 30 % and now at a ridiculous 30 % interest rate. 

I have maintained an excellent credit history with XXXX  scores in the XXXX range. It is my hope to have resolved this reasonably even I had to pay a small penalty but not a penalty of {$2200.00} on an {$880.00} remaining balance which was paid off only days after the expiration and with no formal means of written or electronic notification. In this time of consumer crisis with high inflation, Comenity bank should reconsider their deceptive credit and communication practices. It is still my hope that this can be resolved with your assistance.

I regret to inform you that I can not accept your decision to dismiss my identity theft claim as an error or misrepresentation of material fact. It is concerning that you have taken it upon yourself to determine what qualifies as a material fact, especially considering that you do not hold the authority of a judge. 

According to the guidelines outlined by the FTC, when an FTC identity theft report is filed with a law enforcement agency, it is imperative to comply with the law. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX. 
I am willing to give you XXXX final opportunity to process my request regarding my identity theft. Failure to do so will leave me with no choice but to seek legal recourse in the courtroom, where you will be held responsible for the damage inflicted upon my reputation, credit, and emotional well-being as a result of this issue. It is highly likely that the significance of the material facts will become abundantly clear, and you will be required to compensate me for your negligence.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (CO)

Subject : Urgent Complaint and Request for Removal of Improper Charge-off XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I am writing to formally contest and demand a prompt investigation and deletion of improper charge-off entries reported by a third-party collection agency on my credit report. These entries have significantly damaged my financial reputation, preventing me from obtaining a home mortgage, an auto loan, and additional credit lines. 
It's important to note that I have never had a contractual agreement with this collection agency. Their reporting of my credit data without a contractual relationship is not only unfounded but also violates several legal standards regarding credit reporting and consumer privacy : 1. **Unauthorized Reporting** : The charge-offs reported, which are effectively claims of debt I have not acknowledged, are listed on my credit report without my consent, clearly breaching established rules of lawful credit reporting. Also know as certificates of indebtedness.

2. **Failure to Provide Form 1099-C** : The agency did not supply me with Form 1099-C for debt cancellation, crucial for correct tax filing and IRS compliance. This failure exposes me to potential tax non-compliance risks.

3. **Violation of Privacy Rights** : This reporting breaches the Privacy Act of 1974 ( 5 U.S. Code 552a ), which offers strict protections against unauthorized disclosure of personal data.

4. **No Contractual Relationship** : There is no formal agreement between me and the agency, making their credit reporting a direct violation of my consumer rights.

5. **Opt-Out Rights** : Per regulations under 12 CFR 1016.1, 12 CFR 1016.4, 12 CFR 1016.7, 15 USC 6802 ( b ), and 15 USC 6805, I am officially withdrawing any implied consents for sharing or reporting my credit information.

Considering these issues, I request an immediate review and removal of these erroneous entries from my credit report, along with written confirmation of this removal. Please be advised that I am ready to pursue further action, including legal measures, to correct my credit information and defend my rights. 
I appreciate your prompt attention to this critical issue and await your swift action and response.
