Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Around XX/XX/2023 I was notified via email that changes to my XXXX information had been made. When attempting to log-in, I had found that my username had been changed. Unable to manually rectify that as I was unable to gain access to the account, I tried getting a hold of an XXXX Representative. They were the ones who confirmed that my User Name had been changed, but that I was currently locked out and that I would need to wait a few days before I could resolve anything. This happened a couple more times, before finally a competent representative was able to get me access to the account. Not seeing anything, I then just placed a Freeze on it. 

Not too long afterwards, I received a number of mail notifications for accounts that were attempted to be opened under my name through use of Identity Theft. I was able to get most of the accounts closed except for two, a XXXX  and a Jared Jewelers XXXX Eventually the XXXX one was resolved after it was sent to collections and I provided them with relevant information that the account was opened fraudulently, they never impacted my Credit. The Jared Jewelers one however, is still showing as a hard inquiry on my XXXX Credit Report and impacting my score. 

I have attempted multiple times to get this resolved, I've even hired a Identity Theft Restoration Specialist through XXXX XXXX to assist. In late XXXX, I was notified that the account had been sent to XXXX XXXX XXXX, a collections agency, on XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. Speaking with them, I explained the situation, mailed them relevant information, and they have since closed the account and ceased collections. However the hard inquiry remains and after speaking with someone at Comenity, they claim that XXXX is the one who needs to remove, but XXXX is also saying that they don't. Regardless, the account is no longer valid and someone needs to do their job and remove it from my report. 

Please assist.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX has placed an account on my credit report, listing it as a charge-off and also stating that I owe a balance of over {$7300.00}. I do not recognize an account where I owe over {$7300.00}. I do recognize that I have an account with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and the original loan amount that I had with them was {$2500.00} which I paid several payments on. This creditor has never provided a debt validation notice as required by law. This creditor has never provided me with a copy of my original wet signature authorizing them to place items on my credit report. Reporting an item on a credit report as charged off indicates that the account has been charged off and it's a 1099-C is required by law to be issued to the consumer. When I contacted the creditor, I was told that the account was placed for collection with their collection department/agency. Again they have never provided proper debt validation via certified mail as required by law. This is a clear violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Reporting an account on a credit Bureau report as a charge-off when it is a collection is fraud. Reporting an unvalidated debt to all three credit bureaus is also a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Reporting a charge off with a current balance due as well as a past balance due is also a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Denial of the consumer 's 1099C for a charge-off account is also a violation of the federal tax code
