Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc. (CO)

This account was closed and sent to a collection agency. Since then I have settled the account with XXXX XXXX XXXX and the original creditor is still showing up on my credit report with negative information. I've tried to reach out to the company to have this item removed and they said once they sold the debt to another lender that there is no way to access my account to delete the negative information. But whenever I dispute the information with the credit bureau 's the say the information is accurate and its not. I just want this account removed from my credit report for good.

I initiated on XX/XX/XXXX a credit line increase with XXXX XXXX, which was approved THAT VERY DAY. No hard inquiries at all. ( I have had increases in the past without issues. It has always been a soft pull. ) On XX/XX/XXXX, credit line increase from XXXX XXXX is reported to the CRA and shows on my report. All is well. I am happy. 

Comes XX/XX/XXXX, the CRA reports that on XX/XX/XXXX is when the inquiry was made and XXXX XXXX requested to see my report. XX/XX/XXXX not XX/XX/XXXX. 

As I have been a victim of identity theft, I panic and contacted XXXX XXXX fraud department and a gentleman tells me that its the order of business for the company and most companies to do hard pulls for XXXX. They just sent the request to the CRA to pull my credit for something that happened 3 weeks before. 

I told him that sounds weird to me that XXXX XXXX would do a pull after the fact, 3 weeks later. I told him that was wrong and I want the hard inquiry removed. Besides, it was a mere {$500.00}, so they can take that back to and I will report to all the forums how XXXX treats its customers and customer information. 

I am very disapointed in XXXX. Anyhow, see below the alert From XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX and then on XX/XX/XXXX. The pull was made 3 weeks after the fact!

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION (OK)

Capital One advertises the " Account Combination '' feature for credit cards on their web site, which should in theory allow a customer who meets all the listed criteria to combine card accounts. I do meet the listed criteria but despite many attempts, always get an error message ( attached ) saying my accounts can not be combined. I have been a Capital One cardholder since XX/XX/XXXX, and over the years I ended up with four Capital One cards ( one or two were from their merger with XXXX ). I want to keep my oldest account, which has no annual fee and a {$1400.00} limit, and merge it with the credit lines of my two other personal cards which do have annual fees but lower limits ( {$850.00} and {$600.00} ), making one card with no annual fee and a {$2800.00} limit. <P/>I called Capital One customer service in earlyXX/XX/XXXX, spoke to someone in an outsourced XXXX call center, and they were unable to resolve the issue, or determine the specific reason why the Account Combination feature did not work on my cards. They could only rehash the explanation from the web site. <P/>On XX/XX/XXXX, I emailed XXXX XXXX ( attached ) who, from my research, had helped develop the Account Combination feature a few years back. She forwarded my email to XXXX XXXX, who later forwarded it to someone on the social media team, who in turn bounced it to the so-called " Executive Resolutions '' office. From what I can tell, the Executive Resolutions office is just a customer service escalation desk that has no real empowerment to fix this issue. I spoke to XXXX XXXX in that office via phone on XX/XX/XXXX and she, also, was only able to rehash the verbiage from the web site. She offered no resolution or further escalation. <P/>Later that evening, XX/XX/XXXX, I wrote a letter ( attached ) to XXXX XXXX, President of XXXX XXXX XXXX, and mailed it via XXXX XXXX to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, VA XXXX. The letter was delivered XXXX XXXX with tracking number XXXX ; an " XXXX XXXX '' at Capital One signed for it. In the letter, I expressed my frustrations with the lack of effort of anyone I had spoken to at Capital One to resolve or explain the Account Combination issue, my attempts to resolve it, and asked for XXXX XXXX to help, or delegate to someone who could. To this date, I have not received any acknowledgment of my letter to XXXX XXXX. <P/>On XXXX XXXX, still frustrated with the lack of resolution, I closed my two Capital One cards with annual fees. The fees were going to post in XXXX and XXXX if the card were kept open, and I do not want to pay annual fees for cards I no longer use with a {$0.00} balance.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (NY)

XXXX XXXX and myself have sent the credit bureaus a letter on XX/XX/2018 stating that this should not have been reported as a Charge Off but as a closed fully paid account, XXXX XXXX has followed up with me that they did send a copy of said letter to the credit bureaus. I however have not been able to get this removed from my credit report. I had stellar credit with 100 % on time payments, a substantial credit line available, and no derogatory remarks on my report. This error, has brought my credit from an A status to a current C status. I need this Charge OFF removed from my credit report since the credit bureaus are not acting accordingly with The Fair Credit Reporting Act, which entitles me to a reasonable investigation whenever a consumer disputes information on their credit report. XXXX XXXX asked the credit bureaus to remove the previously reported charge off status by them and report that my account was paid in full. I have not been successful in getting this removed from my credit report.

The representative that I spoke to on the phone regarding the settlement letter would not allow me to speak and refused to setup an agreement for me to make a payment of XXXX dollars each month until the debt was paid off. The only offer that was made over the phone was for me to pay at least two separate XXXX XXXX dollar payments until the debt was paid off unfortunately the person was rude and refused to help me in anyway until I had to hang up the phone because the person at one point during the conversation would not let me speak.
