Complaint narrative:
NetCredit XXXX On XX/XX/2023 I called net credit to discuss the incorrect information on my report. They stated that I would have to contact XXXX XXXX, So I did. 

On XX/XX/2023 I finally got through to XXXX XXXX. I was informed that I did not owe anything. I had a XXXX balance, and that my request for deletion was already done. It is showing that its still in collections and that it was a charge off and derogatory. It was supposed to state paid as agreed even before I ask for the deletion. It does not show on my credit report that it was done not with the reporting agencies. It is actually still reporting on XXXX and XXXX. 

I was also informed by XXXX XXXX that I would have to contact netcredit in order for them to complete the process. I am enclosing a screenshot of what is being reported incorrectly on the report.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Card was charged for something you did not purchase with the card
Company: BARCLAYS BANK DELAWARE
State: CT

Complaint narrative:
Our XXXX business account was accessed by someone unknown to us on XX/XX/23. At this point our permissions were removed from editing the credit card information or removing it from the account. The unknown, unauthorized user then used our stored credit card information to run advertisements directed to their businesses and websites. 
We reached out to XXXX  as soon as we discovered the issue - that same day that the unknown, unauthorized user gained access. 
When we reached out we were told that the charges would be flagged as fraud but that was the only way to dispute it through our credit card. 
We have previously done business with the merchant, XXXX, but in these cases the services were purchased by the unknown, unauthorized users, not us. We did previous business with the merchant but these charges that were accrued by the unknown users were in no way authorized by us. 
Our disputes with Barclay were not accepted because we previously did business with XXXX. 
We have had extensive conversations with the XXXX support team where they have acknowledged that our accounts were in fact accessed by someone unknown and they were using our credit card that was tied to the account. It took XXXX almost a month to remove the unknown, unauthorized users from the account and return our access.They confirmed that someone else was in our account using our credit card information to purchase services. 
We have been extremely proactive in trying to prevent further charges from day 1. We contacted the vendor first, then your team. We literally were stripped of any access to stop the charges from being made. 
We provided extensive documentation and acknowledgement from XXXX to Barclays showing that these were in fact unauthorized charges by unknown, unauthroized users. 
The dates these charges were incurred on our Barclays account were XXXX in the total amount of {$18000.00}

Issue: Problem when making payments — Problem during payment process
Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: MI

Complaint narrative:
I visited the Comenity website to pay for my XXXX credit card balance. In order to make electronic payments the website is requiring me to consent to E-Sign and electronic statements to have access to pay my bill online. I do not wish to have electronic statements. This is a new card and I was not told in my disclosure that I could not pay my payments electronically without consenting to estatements. I will potentially have a late payment on my account because now I have to mail a check payment. I believe this is a UDAAP violation as e statements may cause late payments where cardholders will be charged fees they would not get otherwise. I also believe this could be a violation of Reg E, Reg Z and e-sign rules to combine these agreements and consent in one decision for the cardholder.
