Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
Approximately at the beginning of XX/XX/year>, I went into my online account with XXXX XXXX to schedule my payment for the end of the month. I noticed that my balance didn't match up with the balance online. I then noticed a charge of {$580.00} in interest. It was the promo I was under for a purchase made in XXXX and what I thought was on an equal payment plan. Apparently, it was not, just minimum payment and have balance paid off by the end of the promo. Since I was on paperless billing, which I never agreed to be on, I didn't receive any alert that the remaining balance was coming due and the date due. I have contacted the company numerous times to see about getting consideration of the mishap and have the deferred interest removed. Let me state that as soon as I found out the amount was due, I made the minimum payment for XXXX and the balance of what was due on the promo. I keep being told that an alert is on the bill, but information that is supposed to appear on the bill anyway and isn't anything special in alerting the customer. on the XXXX of XXXX I went online to pay my bill and as soon as I logged in an alert popped up on the screen giving me a XXXX reminder that I had a second promo coming due in XXXX. I immediately took a screenshot and contacted comenity bank about why I hadn't received the same alert XXXX  days before the XXXX promo was due. NO ONE had an answer for me ; after getting the charge I went back to paper bills, and a rep that day told me " Maybe ai received it because I went back to paper bills '' but wouldn't that be backwards and very misleading since XXXX push for customer to go on paperless billing? Shouldn't I have received the alert because I was on paperless billing which makes more sense? I have tried to upload the screenshot, of approx. XXXX, as an attachment that can hold up to XXXX of attachments when sending/responding to a message. I have prided myself in having and maintainig good credit and paying all my bills on time. Only a fool would spend over $ XXXX, as I had on this account, on promos then not have them paid off on time. I have also included an attachment of the screenshot made on my phone that shows the XXXX alert for the XXXX  promo due in XXXX.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: SC

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: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

Complaint narrative:
I have attached an official complaint into misuse of my credit file regarding inquiries that I did not initiate. I did not authorize these hard inquiries, nor did I apply for any credit with these companies. I have offered Transunion an ID Theft Affidavit from the FTC in the past, but they must have forgotten to remove the inquiries. My identity has been compromised in the XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, along with dozens of others. These inquiries are causing a negative impact on my credit score, and I request that they be removed from my credit report immediately as they are not requests made by me. These inquiries do not relate to any transaction I initiated or requested. Moreover, Transunion has some type of glitch that is not allowing me to dispute, view or download my credit file. Customer support said they escalaed it, but for some reason they have not done their job properly.

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Complaint narrative:
" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. 

I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record on my BNASELFLNDR - XXXX. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.
