Consumer complaint received 2024-03-08 00:00:00
Product: Credit card — Store credit card
Issue: Fees or interest — Problem with fees
Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: WI

Complaint narrative:
In XXXX of 2023 I paid the balance on the card of roughly {$190.00} in full. I was then charged afterwards an interest fee of {$5.00}. This statement was never sent to me which resulted in getting late fees. I was never once communicated to about the past due balance or late fees by the company. I logged into the account today XXXX to see if i could update contact preferences as they had been calling me about doing something with my tax returns which seemed VERY suspicious and i wanted the constant calls from several different numbers to stop, and I was shocked to see a past due balance of {$54.00} and several late fees, and then found out that it has greatly impacted my credit score.

I contacted the company and was disconnected when asking to speak to a supervisor and then called back to speak to another very rude customer service representative who refused to send me anything other than a statement and refused to send me to a supervisor. 

I submitted an automatic payment for the past due balance, and decided to close the line of credit. I just want this to not negatively impact my credit. I am very disapointed, as I have never had a late payment, and this practice seems in very poor taste, and very shady.

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern, Please be advised this is my SECOND WRITTEN REQUEST. The unverifiable and incomplete items listed below remain on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. You are required under the FCRA to have a copy of the original creditors documentation on file to verify that this information is mine and is correct. In the results of your first investigation, you stated in writing that you verified that these items are being reported correctly? Who verified these accounts? You have NOT provided me a copy of ANY original documentation required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) ( a consumer contract with my signature on it ) and under Section 611 ( 5 ) ( A ) of the FCRA you are required to promptly DELETE all information which can not be verified.

Please be advised that your company continues to report these unverifiable and incomplete items. These accounts can be considered falsified revenue and illegal by the IRS due to the fact these said accounts have been written off as a tax deduction. How can a payment be collected on an unverifiable and incomplete account, that has already been recorded as a tax deduction. These actions could have severe penalties for falsifying revenue reported to the IRS in accordance with the General Accounting Principles ( GAP Standards ).

Please remove these unverified and incomplete items listed below : 1. 15 U.S. Code 1681i - Procedure in case of disputed accuracy XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Delete this account.

Complaint narrative:
This is NOT a fraud complaint. do NOT place a fraud alert in my credit file. 

I have challenged the reporting of a bankruptcy on my credit report 6 separate times on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX. 

I demanded each and every document that they have in their physical possession on each of those dates. This demand was made pursuant to the FCRA 15 UCS Section 1681g. They were specifically asked not to merely state that is has been verified as this is not in compliance with the law. This must be done in Metro 2 Format reporting.

In the event they did not have any documentation in their physical possession as of the date of these demands, under the Fair Credit Reporting Act Section 1681 ( i ), ALL unveried accounts must be promptly deleted. Moreover, I disputed the validity of each of the bankruptcy, under Section 611 ( a ) ( 5 ) ( A ) ( i ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

If they do not have any documentation in their les to verify the accuracy of these disputed accounts, they are required to delete them immediately. Failing to do so is damaging my creditworthiness and reputation.

I demand the bankruptcy be properly verified with physical documentation and in Metro 2 Format reporting ( and not just verified through a 3rd party ) or it MUST be removed immediately.

Company: Amsher Collection Services, Inc.
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Unauthorized Inquiry to Consumer Report by Amsher Collections I am writing to file a complaint against Amsher Collections for violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

On XX/XX/2023, Amsher Collections unlawfully obtained a copy of my XXXX consumer credit report without a permissible purpose or my authorization, which is prohibited under the FCRA ( 15 U.S.C. 1681b ). 

I do not have any account or relationship with Amsher Collections that would allow them to review my consumer report for a permissible purpose under the FCRA. By knowingly obtaining my consumer report under false pretenses, Amsher Collections has violated 15 U.S.C. 1681q, which carries potential criminal penalties. 



I have included a copy of my XX/XX/XXXX demand letter detailing the violation. I am seeking assistance from the CFPB in compelling Amsher Collections to comply with the FCRA and compensate me for their unlawful actions in obtaining my consumer report without authorization or permissible purpose. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, s/ XXXX XXXX

Company: UPGRADE, INC.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
In or about XX/XX/XXXX, I realized this Upgrade Inc line of credit had a balance even though I have not made any purchases on this line. I had activated automatic minimum monthly payments when the line was first opened, therefore the account was being maintained. When I realized this line had a balance, I contacted Upgrade by phone to report fraudulent charge ( or charges ) on this line of credit. I was told that because too much time had passed, Upgrade would not allow me to dispute these charges and I was responsible for the full balance. In XXXX XXXX when I realized this balance was from fraudulent card activity, I stopped my automatic payment toward this account. The line is now being reported as a charged-off account on my credit report. I attempted to call Upgrade again in early XX/XX/XXXX to discuss the fraudulent activity and the customer service representative abruptly ended the call.

I am listing accounts below that have been reported inaccurately on my credit report. In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and as a gesture of respect to the Federal Trade Commission Committee on accuracy and completeness of credit information I am formally writing in today to dispute negative information appearing on my credit. This incorrect information is greatly hindering me from getting the credit score I deserve and hopefully, this letter will resolve all the issues on my credit. I demand to see Verifiable Proof ( an original Consumer Contract with my Signature on it ) of the accounts listed below. Your failure to positively verify these accounts has hurt my ability to obtain credit.
