Subject : Formal Complaint Against XXXX for Erroneous Credit Reporting XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX TX XXXX XXXX Phone : XXXX XXXX, XXXX Consumer Financial Protection Bureau To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to lodge a formal complaint against XXXX, a XXXX loan servicing company, for an error in reporting my payment history to credit bureaus, which has unjustly damaged my XXXX XXXX and financial standing. This complaint details an issue that occurred around XXXX and has continued to adversely affect my credit history to this date. 

In XXXX, I was in communication with XXXX to arrange for a deferment or an alternative payment plan for my student loans, as my existing deferment period was nearing its end. After diligently ensuring that all necessary steps were taken to secure the deferment, I was dismayed to discover approximately a month later that my credit score had plummeted by over XXXX points. Upon investigating the cause, I learned that XXXX had reported a missed payment to the credit bureaus. This was not just a single report ; because my debt was fragmented into over XXXX separate accounts, it appeared as though I had missed XXXX payments concurrently. 

I immediately contacted XXXX to address this discrepancy, as I had not missed any payments and had taken all the appropriate steps to ensure my account was in deferment. Despite acknowledging their error, XXXX refused to rectify the misinformation reported to the credit bureaus. This erroneous reporting has persisted in affecting my XXXX XXXX negatively, despite my efforts to resolve this issue and maintain a punctual payment record post-consolidation of my loans. 

The impact of this error on my credit history is profound and unjust, considering that the fault lies entirely with XXXX 's mishandling of my account information. It is crucial for my financial wellbeing that this error be corrected, and the erroneous late payment reports be removed from my credit history. 

Therefore, I respectfully request the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to intervene on my behalf and investigate this matter. I seek the removal of the incorrect late payment entries from my credit report and any other necessary corrections to ensure that my credit history accurately reflects my payment record. 

I am prepared to provide any further information or documentation as needed to assist in the resolution of this complaint. Thank you for your attention to this matter and for your assistance in rectifying this significant issue. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

I was the cosigner for a girlfriend who I am no longer with. This was her vehicle. She left the XXXX XXXX XXXX abandoned. She contacted me to get the vehicle. Knowing that I'm on the lease also knowing this could affect my credit, I stepped forward and tried to make multiple attempts with the company to resolve this matter.

XXXX XXXX has asked all my personal information such as name, residential address, social security number, driver 's license number, phone number, email address, PIN number. I showed two proof of ID per his request. However after he obtained all my personal identity especially social security number and driver 's license number, residential address etc. Then he told me he was unable to open new personal account. I questioned him why. But he can not tell me the reason. For the same information I provided, I can open checking account with other banks in the past. At this time, since he can not open new account and I am NOT PNC bank 's customer, I asked him to completely delete my personal identity from XXXX bank 's system in order to protect my identity. Under my 3-4 times asking including to call his branch manager, he still refuse to delete my identity and information. I was extremely upset by telling the staff at front desk to purge my personal information plus pay my damages. I have filed a FTC identity theft report with reference number XXXX.

Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc. (NY)

On XX/XX/2018 at XXXX XXXX, a representative called me from a blocked number without giving their name, nor verifying my identity before they began to discuss and disclose my personal information. The person only stated that they were calling in regard to my XXXX 's XXXX Account. During this call, the representative became abusive with her tone and language. The representative stated that I need to pay my bill regardless of my situation because my hardship program was over, and that it wont be my situation forever. She went on to say that if I do not pay something that I am stealing because I already have the merchandise. I repeatedly told the representative that my hardship has not ended, and I am seeking additional help, otherwise I can not make the regular payments. The representative continued to degrade me asking " well what is it you have been doing this past year? '' She continued in a back and forth engagement with me for seven minutes before I became completely upset with the harassment and hung up. 

I then called XXXX XXXX 's XXXX at ( XXXX ) XXXX-XXXX on XX/XX/2018 at XXXX XXXX to file a complaint. I asked for the name of the representative and I requested to speak to a manager. I was told that they could not locate the name of the person who had called me, but that they would leave a message for the manager of the representative to call me back. It is now XX/XX/2018 and have not heard back from a manger. After two weeks have gone by since the incident I realized that I was not going to receive a call back. Since then, I have not answered any calls from unrecognized, unknown or blocked numbers in fear of being targeted, called a thief, and harassed again.
