Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc. (TX)

It started when i got XXXX for the FIRST time in the middle to end of XXXX. I was out of work for a month, and i could not leave the house. Fortunately, i had enough saved up to make all my payments on time. I returned to work and because of XXXX XXXX my company cut my pay 20 %. Then after a month of working at less salary then i was used to, i unforunately caught XXXX XXXX. This time i was out of work for another month, both because i was sick and as precaution. This time i could NOT afford to pay all my bills when i was out. I fell behind on a lot of things but i was able to eventually catch up 5 months later and i have been on time and going strong ever since. I even got my original pay back. I was physically unable to pay on time and because of that, financially unable to do so too. I reached out to CCB, who owns the XXXX XXXX, and tried to beg with them to work with me, not on late payments, i paid them ALL OF THOSE, but on their credit reporting. They not only refused, they didnt even answer me. Those late pays in those months have destroyed my credit and even though i make good money now, i can not get into a house for me and my, now, XXXX kids. We have been renting and are struggling all because of COVID and this company 's unwillingness to work with me even a little bit. I am not asking for " financial relief '', they can keep those late payments as good faith, i just am begging for all, or ANY, of the late payments between XXXX XXXX and XXXX of XXXX to be removed. I know the bureaus will report what they are told so this is up to CCB and they seem to just not care at all about customers or the family.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: U.S. BANCORP (IA)

U.S. Bank offered me a settlement on a closed checking account of mine which had a negative balance. The settlement amount was {$270.00} the original amount was XXXX. I paid the settlement amount on XX/XX/2023. I requested a letter confirming that I paid this amount. I received the letter from US BANK which is dated XX/XX/2023. The letter states that the account is considered settled in full and will be reported accordingly and no further balance will be due to U.S BANK which is great for me. Then to my dismay I received a letter from XXXX XXXX stating that I made a partial payment and that a balance of {$400.00} The letter stated the source of the information was from U.S BANK I sent the letter that U.S BANK sent me to XXXX SYSTEMS and called them and they told me they received it but couldn't change the status of the account until they did another investigation and confirmed the validity of the letter I got from U.S.BANK. I called US BANK to ask why my letter says one thing but they are reporting another and the myriad of explanations I got were bizarre. The first representative I got attempted to tell me well it is a partial payment and that what a settlement is, as I argued with this rude young woman and told her the letter that I have says the account is considered settle in full and no balance is owed she hung up on me. Then I spoke with a supervisor who told me they can't control the wording of XXXX XXXX. I asked what was reported to XXXX XXXX and the sup said well we just send them an alert we don't send them letters however the representative I spoke with before said they sent XXXX XXXX the letter so I'm being lied to. I have a bank but it is out of state and I want to switch to a local bank but I can't because of this.

Consumer complaint received 2017-05-19
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Information belongs to someone else
Company: AES/PHEAA (CA)

AES/XXXX is reporting XXXX fraudulent loans on my credit report and have refused to cease the credit reporting after several promises to do so. I have been calling and disputing this information sinceXX/XX/XXXX2017, and for the last five months I have been lied to, harassed for payments, told false information, and basically have been running around in circles trying to get someone to actually take action and do an investigation. In the past I made payments on these loans by sending in one lump sum to the creditor to cover ALL my loans, which included those that I did take out in my name. There are four loans that I DID take out in my name but there are three loans that I DID NOT authorize to be taken out in my name. I am a victim of identity theft. I sent in a police report, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, and proof of identity to AES/XXXX back in XXXX 2017. After multiple calls I did n't receive an XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX from their company for completion until XXXX XXXX, 2017. Five months later, after requesting one to be sent to be beginning in XX/XX/XXXX, they finally sent the form. They continue to report late payments and the defaulted loans to the credit reporting agencies after I was promised it would cease and be removed after receiving my XXXX XXXX XXXX. Not once has this company followed up with me. I always have to call them and when I do they always provide me with false information. I was told by several representatives that XXXX is servicing these loans and they are rejecting my fraud packet. However, whenever I call XXXX they have no record of me. This company has no regards for victims of identity theft and continue to provide me with false information and in turn are damaging my credit. I have kept a record of all communications with this company. They received a completed/notarized fraud packet on XXXX XXXX 2017 and according to the packet credit reporting was to cease 15 days after receiving the packet, which was XX/XX/XXXX. They have yet to do so and had the nerve to tell me they ca n't because XXXX rejected the packet. XXXX does n't even know who I am when I call so how can they reject a packet? If anyone from AES/XXXX  actually bothered to called the XXXX number they gave me they would be able to understand that they are rejecting it because they have no record of me!!!!

3. **Investigation of Disputes ( Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) ) ** : Upon receiving notice of a dispute from a consumer, the FCRA requires furnishers to conduct a reasonable investigation into the disputed information. I am formally disputing the charge-off entries on my accounts, and I request that you investigate the accuracy of these entries.

4. **Time Limits for Investigations ( Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) ) ** : The FCRA further stipulates that furnishers must complete their investigations within 30 days of receiving notice of a dispute. I kindly request that you adhere to this time frame when conducting your investigation. 

I expect XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to undertake a thorough and diligent investigation into the charge-off entries on Account Number XXXX and Account Number XXXX.
