Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
This company provided the most inept, frustrating customer service experience of my life, wrongly withholding {$250.00} from me for nearly XXXX months as a result. 

On XX/XX/XXXX I received an email informing me of a {$250.00} rewards redemption on my XXXX card. It was clearly fraudulent. I responded to the email and messaged Comenity through the website to tell them it was fraud. I also called the company and spoke to someone for over an hour detailing what happened. 

I received no communication from the company for several weeks, and then months. When I messaged them through the website, I got stock replies. When I called, I got conflicting messages from their customer service personnel which left me with the impression that no action was actually being taken. 

XXXX months after my initial complaint, they sent me a letter asking me to write them and describe what happened, even though I had already explained the situation multiple times on recorded lines. They clearly had not been doing anything to process my complaint. After I wrote them, they replied with Thank you for contacting us please allow up to 90 days for us to complete our investigation. No acknowledgement that this was an ongoing case. No recognition that I had been trying to deal with this for months. Nothing. 

Later in XXXX, I complained to them on XXXX. They messaged me back, telling me to call the rewards center. The folks at the rewards center said they had no record of my complaint, and no open dispute! After XXXX and a half months, all my attempts to get their attention had produced nothing in their organization. Nobody was talking to each other. 

Eventually, I went back to the XXXX customer service person, and they were able to investigate the issue and restore my rewards balance in less than XXXX hours! They had the ability to handle it the whole time, but instead the company strung me along for months without communication because of their ineptitude and contempt for me as a customer.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
Per the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ), The Congress makes the following findings : ( 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. 

( b ) Reasonable procedures It is the purpose of this subchapter to require that consumer reporting agencies adopt reasonable procedures for meeting the needs of commerce for consumer credit, personnel, insurance, and other information in a manner which is fair and equitable to the consumer, with regard to the confidentiality, accuracy, relevancy, and proper utilization of such information in accordance with the requirements of this subchapter. 

So, at any instance, where there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a deprivation of my rights and a violation of my privacy, as well. With my consumer report, I control what is listed and what is not, and if in the event any accounts are reported without my expressed, written consent, it is considered identity theft. There are also late payments reported to my consumer files which violate 15 U.S. Code 1666b, which states that no timing shall be late in relation to an open-end credit plan.

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2 to which there exists liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for $ 1k per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.
