Complaint narrative:
It is crucial that consumer reporting agencies uphold their grave responsibilities when it comes to the handling of consumers personal credit files. After performing a re-investigation upon my credit file for the following accounts : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX* pursuant to 15 USC 1681ia1a, your company failed to follow proper procedures in regard to correspondence to me the consumer, in the handling of the reinvestigation.

As clearly outlined within, 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ) ; 15 U.S. Code 1681i - Procedure in case of disputed accuracy Subchapter 7 states the following ; ( 7 ) Description of reinvestigation procedure A consumer reporting agency shall provide to a consumer a detailed description referred to in paragraph ( 6 ) ( B ) ( iii ) by not later than 15 days after receiving a request from the consumer for that description.

Further outlined within 15 USC ( 6 ) ( B ) ( iii ) ; ( 6 ) Notice of results of reinvestigation ( A ) In general A consumer reporting agency shall provide written notice to a consumer of the results of a reinvestigation under this subsection not later than 5 business days after the completion of the reinvestigation, by mail or, if authorized by the consumer for that purpose, by other means available to the agency.

( iii ) a notice that, if requested by the consumer, a description of the procedure used to determine the accuracy and completeness of the information shall be provided to the consumer by the agency, including the business name and address of any furnisher of information contacted in connection with such information and the telephone number of such furnisher, if reasonably available.

The correspondence mentioned above was NEVER made to me and therefore, your company is in direct violation of the FCRA and is now liable for monetary damages detailed within 15 USC 1681n and 15 USC 1681o.

Not only was a proper reinvestigation not performed as the derogatory account mentioned is erroneous to begin with, your agency failed to follow the FCRAs clear rules in the handling of correspondence to me in association with the account in question. Please delete this erroneous account as I have sought legal counsel in this matter and intend on seeking damages associated with this complaint if this issue is not resolved. Thank you for your time.

Product: Checking or savings account — CD (Certificate of Deposit)
Issue: Managing an account — Funds not handled or disbursed as instructed
Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I created a CD with Bread Financial, aka Bread Savings, for 250k on 8/17/2023 for one year term. Their default setting is to auto-renew CDs, and they do not even let you set your preference to close at maturity. I asked them to close my CD on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. Then they put my account on protection for no apparent reason and asked me via chat to call them. I called them and verified my details. Then I spoke to a rep on XX/XX/XXXX, and asked them a 3rd time to close my account and send me a check. At that time they told me that to send me a check they wanted to charge me {$15.00}. I told them that I would not want to pay that amount of {$15.00}. The rep was very condescending to me and kept saying, " really? for a check of XXXX you can't pay {$15.00}? ". Then she said that they would submit a waiver request. I asked the rep for what the next steps are and they said they have requested a waiver and will send my check. They made it sound like my check would come in the mail. That's when I stopped tracking this case from my side and waited for my check. 

They sent me a chat message on XX/XX/XXXX informing me that a a check fee waiver was denied and asking me how else I would like to proceed - ACH or external account or check with {$15.00} fee. This was the day when my " CD grace period '' was supposed to be over. They never reminded me of it. I was busy sending my kids to college and school and this case slipped my mind. 

Then on XX/XX/XXXX, I saw the message and tried to create a savings account with Bread Savings so I could at least move my money from CD to savings and then figure out how to move it from Bread Savings savings to another bank. When I tried to move my money within accounts, it would not let me. So I asked Bread Savings to move my money to the savings account. That's when they said that my CD restarted. They are an online bank and there was no message or notification or email from them saying that my CD was renewed. They renewed my CD despite my asking them to close my CD THREE times. If this is not their fraudulent and unethical way of keeping my money locked then what is? 

Now when I called and asked them to give me the money that I desperately need, they are suggesting that I close the CD with a penalty of XXXX.
