Consumer complaint received 2017-10-10 00:00:00
Product: Credit card or prepaid card — Store credit card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement
Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I made a purchase at XXXX using my XXXX Credit card ( XXXX XXXX ) in the amount of {$12.00} on XX/XX/XXXX. 

In XX/XX/XXXX I noticed the amount had not been auto-paid despite the fact that in XXXX I enrolled in autopay. I called in and spoke with an associate to pay off the {$12.00}. She was very kind and said she took care of it. 

On XX/XX/XXXX I noticed that not only was the {$12.00} not paid off, a late fee was added meaning my call in XXXX had not in fact resulted in a payment made. I spoke with a young man who said the associate who assisted me in XXXX accidentally left a dollar on the payoff resulting in a further late fee on my account. He assured me that it did not actually go to collections which I found out later it did. 

At no point in time was I informed of any bills being sent to collections. 

I pulled a credit report in XX/XX/XXXX and saw that my credit took a negative hit due to a XXXX payment of a XXXX charged. I called XXXX  credit card services and spoke with XXXX who informed me that the charge was sent to collections in XXXX and that if the associate I spoke with in XXXX had assisted me correctly it never would have gone to collections thus negatively hitting my credit. 

I asked XXXX to pull the XXXX call logs and simply listen to them and hear that I called and made a good faith effort to pay. She said to do this I would need to send a certified letter to this address and then XXXX Credit Card Services will pull the call records. I sent a letter via certified mail to the name and address of Comenity Bank that XXXX told me to send a letter to. The letter was sent and confirmed receipt XX/XX/XXXX ( tracking number XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ). 

I received a letter from XXXX XXXX " Customer Care '' team on XX/XX/XXXX stating " We are in receipt of your letter ... requesting a goodwill adjustment to the information reported on your credit files. After reviewing our records, we find that we are unable to make any adjustments. If you have any questions, please write us back. '' My letter was detailed and requested a copy of call logs for proof that I called and tried to make the payment. 

I am horrified that an associate did not properly apply my payment and that I now have a hit on my credit due to her error. Credit is not something to be taken lightly and I have always taken my credit seriously. I am saddened that XXXX did not take the time to write a personalized response addressing why they could not make the adjustment. 

Furthermore, the request I am making is NOT goodwill, it 's to correct an error on their part. Please assist!

Product: Vehicle loan or lease — Lease
Issue: Managing the loan or lease — Billing problem
Company: NISSAN MOTOR ACCEPTANCE COMPANY LLC
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I signed a lease for a new vehicle. The dealership made errors on the paperwork multiple times, and the paperwork was not finalized until XXXX ( XXXX ).  Our payment due date per the Lease contract was on the XXXX of each month, but because the paperwork was not finalized, we never received a Periodic Statement ( required under Regulation B ) for the first month. At the end of XXXX, we finally received a Periodic Statement dated XXXX/XXXX/XXXX showing a due date of XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, showing the total amount due as {$440.00} ; the amount includes 2 monthly payments ( XXXX and XXXX ) of {$210.00} each, and a late fee of {$10.00}. 

There are two Regulation B violations here, one of which I was able to rectify by contacting the company 's customer service phone number. When I alleged a Regulation B violation, the customer service representative did not know what Regulation B was, but nonetheless agreed to waive the late fee of {$10.00} on the XXXX payment, and remove the late fee from my credit report. 

Second, I asked that my due date for XXXX be changed to XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, which is 21 days from the date of the periodic statement as required by Regulation B. The customer service representative, their supervisor, and the supervisor 's manager all refused this request saying that it was not possible. They informed me that I could exercise a lease option to change the due date ( an option which I only get once ). I informed them that the due date change should not count as my request, and that instead it is the earliest due date allowed by regulation. The manager was combative, telling me that " regulation B is your regulation '', and that his system would not allow him to change the due date for 1 month, or to not count the change as a request per my lease option.

Company: SYNCHRONY FINANCIAL
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I have been an account holder with XXXX XXXX 's credit card services for more than 11 years and have never made a late payment on this account. On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, there was a payment due on this account in the amount of {$14.00}. At that time, I did not realize that there was a balance owed on this account as I had previously been carrying a credit on this account in the amount of {$61.00} since I had overpaid the account during a previous billing cycle. I paid the {$14.00} balance which had increased to {$16.00} after fees had been accessed on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. On the day, I made this payment, I realized that the payment had exceeded a 30 day period and I was concerned that a late payment would be reported on my credit report, so I contacted a representative ( recorded conversation ) to confirm whether my payment would be reported as late. During this conversation, I was informed that I would not receive a late payment report on my credit report because they do not report a late payment until the account is 60 days past due. Unfortunately, when I checked my credit report, it is reporting late with all three credit bureaus XXXX XXXX, XXXX and XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX and my credit limit was reduced from {$4000.00} to now only {$100.00}. I contacted the XXXX department with XXXX XXXX 's credit services today, XXXX XXXX, to see if they would put in a request to remove this late payment reporting on my credit since I was previously told on XXXX XXXX, XXXX by the representative that I would not receive a late payment report since my account was not 60 days past due and as a courtesy since I have held this account for over 11 years since XXXX and HAVE NEVER BEEN LATE, and unfortunately, I am unable to get any resolution. Not only have I ever paid this account late, I have also never been late on any of my other credit accounts and this account and all of my accounts are current. I am frustrated because this late reporting on my credit profile has damaged my credit profile and has caused a decrease in my credit scores by over XXXX points. I am only requesting that they consider that I have been a long time account holder and have never paid this account late and make an exception to correct this late reporting on my credit report. Thanks so uch
