Product: Credit card or prepaid card — Store credit card
Issue: Advertising and marketing, including promotional offers — Didn't receive advertised or promotional terms
Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc. (CA)

This morning I went to buy a furniture item on XXXX that cost around {$4300.00}. I added the item to my cart and went to the checkout screen. While there, I was solicited to apply for the XXXX credit card, it said I was pre-approved, and that I could take 18 months to pay for the item. Because this was a large purchase, that sounded like a good offer so I clicked through and applied for the card. After my credit was checked and my credit history dinged for a " hard pull '', it came back with me only being approved for {$2000.00} ( even  though when I later spoke to a supervisor named XXXX, he said I have great credit ), which is obviously much less than the item price in my cart ( over {$4300.00} ). I called the company that issues the XXXX XXXX, XXXX, to see why the discrepancy occurred. They couldn't explain why, but offered to apply for a limit increase. After being on hold for a while, and having my credit history dinged AGAIN for a hard pull of my credit report, the person came back and said I was approved for {$4000.00}, which is STILL less than the price of my item. 

This is very shady behavior. I'm sure the credit card company 's executives receive bonuses based on the number of new accounts opened in a given period of time. If shoppers are led to believe that they can get credit to pay for the item they are about to buy, only to soon find out that the credit limit they're approved for is far below what they'd need to actually purchase the item, that strikes me as almost-fradulent. After all, why not just hand out thousands of new accounts with small credit limits so you as a credit company executive can show a huge number of new accounts opened, regardless of the small credit limits. Perhaps less people would be approved if the credit card company looked at the actual price of the item someone was looking to purchase. Maybe it's better to have 1000 new accounts opened with a credit limit of {$200.00}, or {$500.00}, or whatever, rather than 100 new accounts opened with a credit limit of, in my case {$4300.00}, or more. I imagine that XXXX would be upset about this practice as well. After all, I imagine a lot of customers would walk away from their purchases after experiencing this kind of poor treatment. 

FYI : The supervisor at the credit card company I spoke with is named XXXX, ID number XXXX.

Issue: Communication tactics — Called before 8am or after 9pm
Company: Halsted Financial Services, LLC. (AZ)

On several occasions, specifically on Saturday mornings, this company is calling me at XXXX. They will also call repeatedly after making contact with me. For example ; I will answer their call and speak with them and comply as much as possible. They will continue to call me throughout the day and advise that because I have not secured a payment arrangement they will keep calling all day. I have spoken to different managers and they will not stop calling before XXXX and tell me that my area code is on the east coast so it is XXXX when they call, but my address is and always has been in Arizona and has never changed. I am not on the east coast and I feel this is an intimidation harassment tactic. Please see proof of the phone call. This company calls from several different numbers so it is impossible to block their number and they will never leave a voicemail. Also do not accept the excuse that the phone number is not associated with their business, because I did call the number back and was connected right away and they already knew my name and account information based on the number I called them from. The number is the photos I attached absolutely belong to them!

Company: Debt Recovery Solutions, LLC (TX)

DEBT RECOVERY SOLUTIONS : Why does this name not surprise me to see them on my credit report once again. 

I have fought with them and bickered with these rude people everytime I have tried to call them. I have explained to them this debt is not mine, I do not have knowledge of this debt, But these people can not seem to get it through their heads. 

It seems that if this mess can not be resolved then I have no choice but to involve this matter in litigation and tie this matter up in court for the foreseeable future.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (TX)

I disputed inaccuracies on my credit report with all 3 credit reporting agencies XXXX XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX  XXXX on XX/XX/2020 that XXXX XXXX fails to correct. I have disputed with XXXX XXXX and provided proof of payments for the months they reported me as XXXX  days late, when in fact I paid as agreed. The CRA 's disregarded my dispute and continued to publish inaccurate information after providing them with the proof. They have violated my consumer rights and the FCRA by reporting inaccuracies and saying they verified the information was accurate. How is it possible to verify accuracy with the company I'm informing you is reporting the inaccuracies. Even after providing proof both XXXX and the 3 CRA 's fail to update my credit file to paid as agreed. 
I mailed several letters to the CRA 's and have not received a response back from Equifax. I have included copies of certified mailings and receipt returns. 
I also kept record of XXXX XXXX and they continue to report negative information to the CRA 's. However, I find it STRANGE that they do not report me as being late in their customer portal database, which was disturbing to receive a letter of Notice to Right to Cure in XXXX  days. This is ludicrous! XXXX retaliates by calling the balance to be paid in full after I contacted them inquiring about inaccurate reporting. 
My credit score has been seriously affected by the inaccuracies and have caused me to not qualify for loans that I would have been able to receive approval for.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (MO)

A few weeks ago I sent letters to all 3 credit bureaus regarding some items on my credit report which I know are not accurate which is a violation of the FCRA and FDCPA and you must abide by the law. Everything I have provided in my letters is true and accurate to my knowledge. Ive received emails and letters saying Im using a 3rd party which is incorrect because I am the one sending my letters out and filing this complaint with no help from a credit repair company or 3rd party. The CRAs are in violation of my rights due to not providing a notice of dispute and for failure to communicate to me that I disputed stuff on my credit. I request these accounts to be deleted from my credit asap or I will take legal action and hire a lawyer. I want to purchase a house soon and this holding me back. 

I would like the items I disputed in my letters to be handled accordingly based on the reasons that I put in my letters.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (CA)

In 2013 I open a card with XXXX XXXX for a XXXX XXXX card. I defaulted on the card and it was eventually closed with comments on my credit report of " Profit And Loss Write-off '' The account was never assigned to an agency for collection efforts nor was it purchased by a debt buyer. Based on the comments on my report indicating it had been written off, it is my concern that the company is still reporting a balance of {$650.00}. In an effort to make good on the account I have contacted the company on multiple occasions in an attempt to settle the account and or set up a payment plan. Everytime I have spoken with someone I have been advised that the account was " closed '' and that they would need to have the account " reactivated '' in order for them to assist in providing me with a settlement offer and or payment arrangement. When I asked them why and what the balance is the response I get is that on their end the account is closed and there is no balance which is why they need to reactivate it. If this is true then why are they reporting a balance on my credit? Just this week I was able to get clarification that the account was in " limbo '' and with the " client services '' department who are in charge of deciding what to do with the account. I asked to speak with them and was transferred to a phone line that rang 20+ times before hanging up. I have disputed this via the credit bureaus and they have done nothing and I have made every effort to try and rectify with the company directly. At this point this account is causing me stress and could potentially prevent me from qualifying for the rate I want to refinance my home. Based on my lenders credit simulator this account could potentially raise my score 24 points if it were updated to the correct {$0.00} balance since it was already " written off ''
