Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: NV

Complaint narrative:
I am deeply concerned about the derogatory rating attached to the account that is being reported. This situation is troubling as it has already had adverse effects on my credit. I recently experienced a loan denial, and my existing credit accounts have also seen an increase in interest rates. It is important to highlight that this negative rating has resulted in significant financial distress for me, and if left unresolved, it will continue to affect me both financially and emotionally.

Complaint narrative:
I have an account that is reflecting on my credit report that is duplicated and I have requested from the credit bureaus to dispute the account. This account is being reported by XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX from an apartment complex. But it shows two separate accounts reporting on Experian with different acct numbers, different balances, different open dates and so on. This information is not reporting legally and it is not mine. Experian has failed to provide documentation that shows that this acct is mine. I want the assistance in removing this account from reporting on my credit report. I am actively trying to purchase a home and this is affecting my ability to do so. It is also affecting my credit score.

Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
Hello, So I received a letter in the mail from my banking institution ( Chase ) stating they are closing my checking and saving accounts and canceling all 3 of my credit cards. I have been with chase for almost 23 years, and I am completely baffled by this. this is a major inconvenience and could affect my credit scores because they are closing my credit cards. I am in the financial industry for almost decade now and I pride myself on having excellent credit. my job could be negatively impacted by this decision chase has made. the only reason I can think of why they would close my accounts is the amount of money that was being spent from my accounts in the past year. otherwise, I have been an excellent member of Chase for 23 years and I have excellent credit and make excellent money. this decision is just absolutely absurd, and I really wish they would reverse this decision. I don't know what else to do here but this is just not right.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2023 a fraudulent hard inquiry appeared on my Equifax credit report. The inquiry was by " XXXX '' which is XXXX XXXX connected to a XXXX XXXX line of credit. The address listed for them on the inquiry is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, NY XXXX. I have never applied for a credit card or loan through XXXX XXXX or XXXX XXXX and have never authorized a hard inquiry from them, and this inquiry is fraudulent. I have contacted XXXXXXXX XXXX and they have not taken any steps to address this fraud. 

This is actually the second time that XXXXXXXX XXXX has made a fraudulent hard inquiry on my credit. The exact same hard inquiry showed up on XX/XX/2023 which was also unauthorized. After first refusing the address the issue, XXXXXXXX XXXX eventually confirmed that someone else had tried to fraudulently open a line of credit in my name. I am certain this is what has happened again, but they are doing nothing to address it. I am NOT a customer of XXXX XXXX. I have no cards or loans through XXXXXXXX XXXX and have never applied for any through them or through XXXX XXXX. But XXXX XXXX  still did a hard inquiry on my credit account which is fraudulent. 

The last time this happened, they eventually admitted that they had allowed someone to try to open a line of credit in my name, so I am very concerned about the fraud going on. In XXXX, I placed a fraud alert on my Equifax credit report, so XXXXXXXX XXXX should have taken additional measures if this happened again. It is clear they have not, as I was never contacted to approve this inquiry even though I have the fraud alert.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
i logged into my Lowes credit card account on XX/XX/2023 to see when and if a payment was due on my account. It was paid in full until recently and was not sure if the few purchases I made were due in XXXX. I was leaving for a trip to NY to deliver my recently deceased spouses ashes to his sister for a final resting place. At that time there was XXXX {$0.00} due and no due date reflected so it wasn't until I returned home and logged into my account to see when the next due date was and what was my available credit limit and found that Lowes/Synchrony Bank is now claiming that my payment is past due! In addition they lowered my credit limit and I was never late any time before. I received no warning of anything due or past due nor was I informed of a credit line decrease. I planned on using my credit card to purchase a new electric water heater as my gas one has become a safety issue and now I am unable to do that. In addition, I contacted XXXX by phone and was outsourced to someone who could not understand me and was of no help. I explained that no payment was due when I accessed my account on XX/XX/XXXX and how could I be past due if no payment was due in XXXX? I also wrote an email to corporate and have had no response. We have a military veterans account and for XXXX to do this is wrong and unfair and people need to be aware of tricky billing and unfair credit line reductions. They also send me daily texts saying to pay at once even though i told them on the phone it would be paid by the XX/XX/2023 2023

Company: FIRST CITIZENS BANCSHARES, INC.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX my computer was hacked, and my personal bank information was accessed by an imposter, XXXX XXXX, claiming to work for the FTC. Wire transfers were initiated and completed by this imposter totaling {$86000.00} from two of my bank accounts. These wire transfers were done on, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX. These transfers went to XXXX and XXXX Two of the accounts this imposter opened got closed soon after for security reasons per the two companies. When these accounts were closed, {$29000.00} was sent back to one of my bank accounts. The total amount that I am currently out is, {$56000.00}. 
Once I saw what was happening, I contacted the two banks, XXXX XXXX and CIT Bank to alert them of the fraud and put a Freeze on my accounts. During a phone conversation I had with CIT Bank I learned that they had associated the imposter 's phone #, XXXX, with my accounts. I also found it troubling that my CIT Bank account no longer had the two-step login procedure that I had initiated months earlier. I believe that CIT Bank was communicating directly with this imposter XXXX without my knowledge and authorization. I have also filed a detailed Consumer Report with the FTC.
