Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: OR

Complaint narrative:
To the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am filing this complaint regarding an excessive deferred interest charge applied to my Dell Pay Credit account, issued by Comenity Capital Bank. 

On XX/XX/year>, I was charged {$1100.00} in deferred interest because I paid off my promotional balance two days after the charge was applied. I made the full payment on XX/XX/year>, and had every intention of satisfying the promotional balance. I was unaware that even a slight delay would result in such a significant retroactive charge. 

I immediately contacted Comenity customer service and spoke with multiple representatives and supervisors ( four in total ) requesting a one-time courtesy waiver of the interest charge. Despite being a responsible customer and having paid the full balance, I was repeatedly denied any form of accommodation. 

I understand the terms of deferred interest, but this charge feels disproportionate and predatory, especially given the minimal delay in payment. I am requesting that the CFPB investigate this matter and advocate for a fair resolution, such as removal/refund of this charge, based on good faith and responsible consumer behavior. 

Thank you for your time and assistance.

Company: MOHELA
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
MOHELA has continued to report, bill, and attempt to collect on student loans that were eligible for cancellation or discharge under federal directives, including Department of Education guidance regarding Income-Driven Repayment ( IDR ) forgiveness and Public Service Loan Forgiveness ( PSLF ). Despite policy updates and discharge orders, MOHELA failed to implement the changes, misapplied my payment history, and demanded payments on loans that should no longer be active. 

Additionally, I have experienced a serious breach of privacy. My educational and financial aid dataprotected under FERPA and Title IVwas improperly accessed, disclosed, or shared without my knowledge or consent. I did not authorize the release of any personally identifiable information, and I believe my records were compromised, possibly in connection with broader ongoing investigations involving MOHELA and other entities. 

Key points : MOHELA failed to cancel or discharge my eligible loans. 

They continued to bill and report to credit bureaus, harming my credit. 

They have not responded to multiple formal requests for disbursement records, billing history, payment ledgers, or the original Master Promissory Note. 

They violated FERPA by failing to protect my financial and educational records. 

There are active lawsuits and federal investigations into MOHELAs mishandling of loan servicing and data security.

Complaint narrative:
Finding unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries, and false personal information made or reported without my knowledge or agreement completely stunned and grieved me. I've tried to get clarification from the creditors, but they have blatantly refused to give it to me. I demand that the creditors act immediately and be transparent. The creditors must submit pertinent application materials, show proof of express authority for each query, and give comprehensive details about each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and the kinds of credit products involved. To see what I'm complaining about, please refer to the attached file!

Complaint narrative:
Dear CFPB, Debt Collector : I am filing a complaint against XXXX. XXXX Collections for two collection accounts appearing on my credit report one for {$350.00} ( Account ending XXXX ) and one for {$560.00} ( Account ending XXXX ). I have no relationship with this company and never received any prior notice, validation, or documentation of these alleged debts from either I.C. Systems or the original creditor. I formally dispute both accounts.

Under my rights pursuant to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1692g ( b ) ) and the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( b ) ), I submitted a dispute and validation request, which went unanswered. I.C. Systems has failed to provide : A signed contract or agreement bearing my signature Itemized account statements showing how the alleged balance was derived Proof of legal assignment or chain of title The Forward Flow Agreement between original creditor and collector Proof of a debt collector license in my state Despite the lack of validation, both tradelines remain active and derogatory on my XXXX report. This is a direct violation of FCRA 1681e ( b ) and XXXX XXXX  611 reporting standards, which prohibit the reporting of unverifiable or inaccurate information. Continued reporting of disputed, unverified debts constitutes willful noncompliance under FCRA 1681n and actionable violations under FDCPA 1692k.

I had XXXX checks stolen from my check book and deposited into a the suspects account. I was able to identify the person as he was an employee at the time. I contacted my bank Truist. I contacted the sheriffs department and made a police report. I provided Truist Bank with all the documents and all details. I had the sheriffs office speak directly with Truist Bank in regards o the theft. The investigating officer email Truist fraud department as well explaining the charges. I even provided them with a copy of the arrest record for the individual that states he has been charged with XXXX XXXX  charges. Truist is still refusing to refund my money or help me. The total amount stolen was {$4100.00}. I think this is very unfair and I feel I am being taken advantage of as a customer.
