Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: Written notification about debt — Didn't receive enough information to verify debt
Company: Southwest Credit Systems, L.P.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I got a notice on my credit report about an account going to collections in the amount of {$520.00}. But I have no clue what this debt could be or where it came from. I never received any notice or verification of this debt. Not even a phone call to try and collect the debt before reporting it. I get a lot of spam calls so I don't answer the phone if I don't know the number. I wait till a message is left so I can confirm the legitimacy of the call. I tried to go on to South West Credit Systems website and make an account to verify this but all information I put says there is no record of it. And I am scared to call because I don't want to be pressured to pay a debt I know nothing about.

Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
There has been fraud involved in the opening of an account that I'm said to be liable for and Comenity Capital Bank has been harassing me regarding this issue. 

I have received 2 statements from Comenity Capital Bank with due dates of XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. 

I received the first statement and did not believe that I need to pay the statement as claimed, so reached out to Comenity Capital Bank in writing. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I requested a validation of debt, per the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), 15 U.S.C. 1692 ( G ) Section 809 ( B ).

In that letter, which is attached to this complaint, I stated " In addition, I kindly request that your agency refrains from making any phone calls to my personal line. Excessive or automated calls made to myself or third parties will be considered harassment and will result in legal action being taken against your agency. '' Comenity Capital Bank received my letter on XX/XX/XXXX, as confirmed by the certified mail tracking in the attached document. 

From XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX, Comenity Capital Bank has called me 33 times from 16 different numbers, and texted me 5 times. 

This has been absolutely distressing, as I can not even block unwanted calls given the sheer number of different lines they have used to call me. 

I've had numerous losses due to work on my phone being interrupted from unwelcome phone calls as well.

Complaint narrative:
When I started with Santander everything seemed fine until they started sending payments being sent back for random reasons. They would then wait to give me a courtesy call then charge me more for " interest ' and " late payment '' reasons. I then proceeded to let my parents know and we made the last payment with a different card and Santander tried it with them too. we have bank statements and receipts that show the payment was made but they continue with this. I called and warned them about it once before and they quickly dropped the price but have started their antics once again.
