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

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX when making a {$55.00} purchase at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX FL. 
The salesperson offered me a credit card to pay for that purchase with no fees or any charges, which I accepted thinking was a good thing. 
After a month, I didnt receive any statements or even the physical card, just an email reminding of the payment due, already charging late fees. 
I am an XXXX, single mother, and this was one of my first credit cards, so I believed what the and the salesperson told me, that would be no fees or other charges. 
I thought I would pay for the amount purchased. They never informed me about the interest charged when paying the minimum. After 2 months I couldnt keep up with the full amount payment because the balance was always increasing, even though I was making regular payments on the due dates. 
The bank started calling me every day, more than 20 times a day, and every time I asked for a payment plan, a settlement, it was denied. 
The last purchase was XX/XX/XXXX and Ive been trying to settle with them since then, but this bank only accepts payment in full of the balance, with no relief of fees or interest. 
My actual debt is only {$430.00}, and I offered them to pay {$100.00} in XXXX installments, but the answer was always no. 
The attendants on the phone are always rude and disrespectful, even laughing when I offered to settle, telling me in a threatening tone that my credit would be ruined. 
I believe the bank wants the debt to increase more and more. 
The current balance is {$650.00} and I have no means to pay all at once with incredible high fees and interest.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.

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 XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion data breach.
