Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
This complaint is in response to the inaccurate account information by COMENITY BANK regarding their response to the CFPB complaint : XXXX. Please do not mark this complaint as a 'duplicate ' response as I do have a valid reason to ask that you, please provide the certified receipt number with my name and signature as proof that you mailed a response in regard to my 'notice of dispute ' initially. How is it that you are telling you responded in a timely manner when I filed a complaint because have no record of your response? This is one of the main reasons I filed a complaint with the CFPB in the first place. If you can not provide such proof your previous statement is hearsay. I want the accounts removed from all CRAs based on the Furnisher Rule Regulation V 660.4 ( e ) and the FCRA 's requirement to investigate that an account must be investigated within 30 days upon receipt of the letter. Please provide proof of how you verified the accuracy of this account and proof as stated early that you did respond. The date of last payment is inaccurate. It reports that the date of last payment as seen on XXXX is XX/XX/2018, but it reports in the payment history section of the report that the date of the last payment was in XX/XX/2018 in regard to account number XXXX. That is an inaccuracy and since you stated your organization verified this info to be accurate, then it is fair to say that COMENITY BANK violated 15 USC 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ). For non-compliance, The FCRA provides for maximum penalties of {$4700.00} per violation in the case of lawsuits brought by the FTC. FCRA 616, 617, 621.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute a late payment entry that has appeared on my credit report. The report indicates a late payment in my credit report, which I strongly believe is erroneous and not verified. Throughout my financial history with the financial agencies I am doing business with, I have consistently met all payment deadlines without fail. Therefore, the presence of this late payment is undoubtedly a result of a billing error on the part of the creditor. I request a thorough investigation into this matter to verify the accuracy of the reported late payment and urge for its prompt correction. It is imperative that such inaccuracies are rectified swiftly, as they impact my financial standing and credibility. I have contacted the financial agencies in the last more than 30 days to seek clarification but I got no response because this is erroneously reported for they have provided NO PROOF that there was a REAL late payment. Your immediate attention to this matter is greatly appreciated.

Company: Kimball, Tirey & St. John LLP
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I was sent a letter about monies owed for cleaning/carpet from a previous apartment ( XXXX XXXX  ). I called the debt collector and asked why they were requesting it as when I left I was told there was nothing owed... The man on from the debt collection agency said not to worry as he will look into it more and get back to me within a month- he told me he would call me in XXXX with more information. This person/company did not ever get back to me ( call/letter/etc ) and then this month ( XX/XX/XXXX ) I get a word from my credit agency my credit dropped XXXX points due to no paying this debt ... Then I finally get a letter from this debt company this month as well ( XX/XX/XXXX ) - - nothing in between XXXX and XXXX! 
I reached out to the debt company yesterday and the gentleman I spoke with was the SAME person I spoke with back in XXXX and he denied saying he was going to call me ( like he said before ), he also told me they sent another letter which was a lie as well.. He basically told me I was wrong and pointed the finger at me. 
I would have paid this debt long ago if I was contacted as it is not a lot of money, but instead forgot about it and/or figure they got rid of the debt as I NEVER heard anything until now.
