Product: Credit card — Store credit card
Issue: Fees or interest — Problem with fees
Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I received a credit card from Comenity Bank partnered with XXXX XXXX. The last charge that I charged to the XXXX Comenity bank credit card was on XX/XX/XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  in the amount of {$58.00}. Comenity chared me a MINIMUM INTEREST CHARGE '' of {$2.00} ON XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX I submitted a payment of {$60.00}. They charged me a late fee of {$37.00} for being 1 day late. Which I am fine with. What I am not okay with is the fact that I have not made a single charge to my XXXX XXXX XXXX credit card since XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX continues to charge me a " LATE FEE '' for their own " FEES '' they are accruing. I have since accrued XXXX {$37.00} late fees for a total of {$110.00} and I did not borrow a single dime to accrue these fees. I would like these fees credited back the the XXXX XXXX, zeroed out so I have a {$0.00} balance and close/ TERMINATE this card so I do not accrue another FEE FOR A FEE which is absolutely absurd and ILLEGAL! The amount XXXX  is allowed to charge is regulated by the law.The law states they are not allowed to charge more than how much is actually borrowed. In this case, I have paid all my debts to Comenity bank and I have borrowed {$0.00} additional dollars from Comenity Bank. The balance on the card is from Comenity Bank illegally collected fees on money I HAVE NOT BORROWED. I would like to receive a response within XXXX  days from Comenity Bank. If a response is not received on how this problem will be rectified, I will reach out to my XXXX  state attorney general On top of it all, XXXX has been charging me a " Minimum MINIMUM INTEREST CHARGE '' of {$2.00} monthly since XX/XX/XXXX to current XX/XX/XXXX. I don't even know what this charge is for or why it was applied to my credit card

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect

State: OH

Complaint narrative:
My accounts was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. 

This was clearly a billing error made my the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! 

I demand the late payment reported to be removed/updated. 

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law! 

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. 

I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. 

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer!
