Product: Credit card — Store credit card
Issue: Fees or interest — Unexpected increase in interest rate
Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I made a purchase with my credit card on XXXX using a promotional rate of 0 % APR. According to the first statement balance, " TO AVOID PAYING ACCRUED INTEREST, YOU MUST PAY THE {$3600.00} BALANCE OF YOUR PROMOTIONAL PLAN 12 MNTH DF INT PY RQ IN FULL BY XX/XX/XXXX. '' Since that time I have paid the balance monthly without any delays, hence I shouldn't have incurred interest. 

However, Comenity Bank started charging me interest on the statement balance closing date of XX/XX/XXXX. The value of the interest was {$69.00}. 
I paid the full balance ( {$2800.00} ) on XX/XX/XXXX, which includes the interest above, to avoid it from happening again. 
In the statement balance closing date of XX/XX/XXXX, they are charging me another interest of {$33.00}, which doesn't make any sense as I already paid the full balance. 

I got in touch with Comenity over the phone on XX/XX/XXXX, and they instructed me to explain the situation via their message website. The person over the phone was unwilling to open a dispute. 
I sent a message on Comenity 's website on the same day ( XX/XX/XXXX ), asking to open a dispute. 
Comenity replied on XX/XX/XXXX, saying that I should open a dispute, which I thought I was already doing so. 
Today ( XX/XX/XXXX ), I'm opening disputes regarding both interest charges. I'm afraid that even when I clear the full balance, they keep charging me interest and this will go on forever. 
I want to end the relationship with Comenity and have a refund for both interest rates.

State: PA

Complaint narrative:
cOn or about XXXX XXXX I called Chase mortgage as I had received a notice my mortgage would be going up another {$60.00} per month per their mortgage analysis. Upon speaking with a manager at Chase ( I need to locate my notes for his name ) we went over my analysis .Neither my school or property taxes had gone up, actually one of them had gone down, he did not say which one, so I asked why the increase then??? Without my knowledge my insurer raised my insurance 2 yrs ago & did not inform me so they are trying to base this increase from 2 yrs ago. Last year Chase did the same thing, I paid the shortage and they still raised my monthly mortgage payment with no legimate answers as to why .This is happening every yr, my mortgage was sold to then by XXXX XXXX  several yrs ago I feel as though I am being ripped off and this is not justified .Never once have we missed a payment ever on our mortgage!!!!!!! Also Chase had a data breech the manager was not even aware of this I have no confidence in this company. As soon as rates go down I am leaving this HORRIBLE COMPANY

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), I am writing to file a formal complaint against Equifax regarding unauthorized credit inquiries that have appeared on my credit report. After reviewing my recent report, I identified several inquiries that I did not authorize and have no knowledge of. Despite contacting Equifax to resolve this matter, these inquiries remain on my report, causing significant frustration. The unauthorized inquiries in question are as follows : Disputed Inquiry : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX Attached to this complaint is an Identity Theft Report filed with the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ). This report, along with the corresponding case number, supports my claim regarding the unauthorized credit inquiries on my credit report. I kindly request that the necessary steps be taken to address this issue in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 
I appreciate your prompt attention and review of this document as part of the investigation. I believe Equifax has violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) by failing to properly investigate and remove these inquiries from my credit report, even after I brought the issue to their attention. 
The sections of the FCRA that support my claim are : Section 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ), which outlines my right to dispute inaccurate or incomplete information. I have disputed these inquiries, but Equifax has not conducted a satisfactory investigation. Section 609 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681g ), which grants me the right to access my file. Upon reviewing this information, I confirmed that I never authorized these inquiries.

Section 604 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681b ), which details the permissible purposes for credit report inquiries. I did not give consent for these inquiries, and Equifax has not provided evidence of a valid reason for them. Despite my efforts to resolve this directly with Equifax, these unauthorized inquiries continue to negatively impact my credit report. I request that the CFPB intervene to ensure Equifax fulfills its legal obligations under the FCRA by removing the unauthorized inquiries and providing me with an updated credit report. I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter, and I am happy to provide any additional information needed for your investigation.
