Complaint narrative:
I purchased a XXXX watch/fitness tracker from XXXX. It came with a " free '' subscription. 
however, many months later I received an unauthorized charge from Google for {$79.00}. I did not authorize this. I was not asked if I wanted a subscription. they just give you a free one, then start charging for it. 
I tried to cancel it, but they say their terms of service state " no refunds ''. So I am charged for something I never ordered and don't want, and they refuse to make it right and give me a refund. 
DON'T BUY XXXX PRODUCTS!!!

Complaint narrative:
I lodged a complaint with these Bureaus a month ago, but unfortunately, the inaccurate information on my report still remains. I haven't received any communication from the Bureaus, except for the notification that you sent stating that the company has responded to my complaint. How can I be certain that they have thoroughly checked the inaccuracies on my report? What methods did they employ to validate the accounts? This whole situation is incredibly frustrating! It's been more than 30 days since I filed a complaint with these Bureaus, and yet the disputed accounts have not been updated. If this continues, I will have no choice but to take legal action due to the immense stress this has caused me. Moreover, I am also concerned about the security of my personal data, as it was affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach.

Issue: Advertising and marketing, including promotional offers — Confusing or misleading advertising about the credit card
Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2024 I was going to make my regular monthly payment of {$500.00} for the credit card when I entered the website to view the balance I saw the balance increased to {$7900.00} when the previous balance in XXXX was {$3400.00}. At that moment I contacted customer support to find out what occurred and they indicated that the 18 month promotion of no interest was no longer in effect as of XXXX. 

I explained to them that I was not aware of that and I did not read the e-statement that indicated that. I was transferred to various supervisors and requested if the accrued interest fees can be waived. In return I was more than willing to pay off the remaining balance of {$3400.00} to close the case. 

Unfortunately, the back and forth did not lead to any resolution and was told that there is nothing they can do. I was baffled to hear that a bank was not able to override the fee and accept the full payment of {$3400.00}. I understand there was a promotional fee but I was trying to work with the bank to pay off the remaining balance that should have been paid in XXXX. 

Additionally, I provided suggestions on how to better communicate with their consumers via phone call, email, text, etc to make them aware their promotion is ending and requires immediate attention. The senior supervisor " XXXX '' said it was a great idea and was going to present it in their next meeting but it will not change the narrative on hand today. 

I am truly bothered by this because I am consistent with my payments and I should have been given a chance to pay off the remaining balance with no issues. I feel the bank is monopolizing off the consumers and conducting shady business by stating it is mentioned on the statement. They should be more proactive in alerting the consumer. 

I would like to pay off my remaining balance with no interest accrued.

I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the Equifax, XXXX, and XXXX data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to TRANSUNION to formally address fraudulent and inaccurate information that persists on my credit file as a result of identity theft. This erroneous reporting continues to harm my credit reputation and has caused ongoing damage. I am invoking my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act ( FACTA ) to demand an immediate investigation and removal of these fraudulent entries. The associated Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) Identity Theft Report, reference number XXXX, provides comprehensive details of the fraudulent accounts in question. Upon reviewing my credit report, I identified multiple suspicious and unauthorized accounts that were opened without my consent. These entries are not only inaccurate but lack any legitimate basis or proper authorization, violating my rights under federal law. Under XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX of XXXX, credit reporting agencies are obligated to ensure that all reported information is accurate and verifiable. The continued presence of these fraudulent entries constitutes a clear violation of federal law and TRANSUNION 's duties as a credit reporting agency. Furthermore, the failure to maintain accurate reporting exposes TRANSUNION to potential liability under the FCRA for non-compliance. I request that TRANSUNION promptly conduct a thorough investigation into the fraudulent entries I have identified. I also demand that all inaccurate and unverifiable information be immediately blocked and removed from my credit report. Additionally, I request written confirmation of your findings and the actions taken to ensure compliance with the FCRA and XXXX. Failure to address these inaccuracies within the legally prescribed timeframe may leave me with no choice but to escalate this matter. This could include filing formal complaints with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) and other regulatory agencies, as well as pursuing legal remedies to enforce my rights. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. I trust TRANSUNION will act swiftly and in accordance with its obligations under both federal and state consumer protection laws.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX my husband and I went to XXXX XXXX XXXX to trade our company vehicles. 
On XX/XX/XXXX, I received a notification from the monitoring credit bureau that my credit has dropped over XXXX points. 
I had no idea what was going on and I started investigating the situation. 
On XX/XX/XXXX, I called XXXX XXXX to see why they posted that I was 30 days late on my truck payment when I traded the vehicle on XX/XX/XXXX to XXXX XXXX XXXX. They said they haven't received the payoff from the dealership. I said yes you have. I have the recipe they sent me from the pay off. The superior advised me to go to a XXXX XXXX branch and fax the payoff receipt to them. I did exactly as they asked. He then told me to call XXXXXXXX XXXX  back while I'm at the XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX and let them know the fax was sent. I did that, but while I was talking with another supervisor from XXXX XXXX, she started to accuse me of being late on my payment. I've never been late on any of my payments nor any of my XXXX XXXX XXXX payments. I told her the payoff that the dealership sent paid the XXXX payment and the rest of the vehicles balance. I then, Ask her to back date my account and remove the discrepancy from my credit. She began to accuse me again of me not paying my payment and it was late. I could see that she was trying to entrap me. So, I explained to her again. The payment wasn't late and the payoff covered all balances owed on the vehicle. Needless to say, nothing was done and no back date was added to my account to correct the discrepancy on my credit.
