I am unemployed. I could not make payments and they gave me no way to pay them time and time again. In XXXX, I was told that I had to provide proof I was in school in XXXX, which I did. I provided both my transcripts, school clearing house records through fax and via secure document portal. I had to borrow money from family to not go into default. They continued to charge me monthly. They could never answer my question regarding, my grace period. They have never tried to give it to me and continue to harass me day, night and day after day with emails and calls. It comes to the point of where I can't even answer my phone if jobs are calling me because of the harassment. In XXXX, they tried to sign me up with this repayment program of where you only pay interest because it was the only option given to me. They would still send emails and calls harassing me, they have even tried to take out money before it was due. They don't allow you to make custom payments on their website. They don't allow you to send payment with a card. They only allow payments through a bank account, with total amount due. I spoke to multiple employees ; Where I have recorded multiple conversations and I have a bunch of their employee numbers.As of XX/XX/XXXX, their employees and supervisors lied. I was told if I paid with borrowed money I would be eligible for a forbearance. My account was made current. I talked to XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX ( lied about her name )! They told me that after my payment, I could have forbearance. Now the supervisor XXXX XXXX said the FDIC doesn't do forbearance and they can't help me. She had no resolution for their improper practices.

Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
During COVID, my wife got sick and was XXXX. Not only was I struggling to find work due to COVID, but now I was the XXXX  for my wife XXXX for her feeding, bathroom needs etc. 

I took out a credit card, I don't even remember taking out this credit card, I don't have the credit card. It is sitting on my credit report with a XXXX dollar balance and a late fee for XX/XX/2021. 

I submitted a dispute online and didn't hear back. 

According to the CAREs act, I believe I should get some relief here regardless of the potential accuracy of this report. 

Additionally, according to Congress : " Legal Exemptions : 15 USC 1681a - 2 ( a ) ( i ) ( 2 ) Exclusions. " Except as provided in paragraph ( 3 ), the term consumer report does not include - report containing information solely as to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the person making the report. '' According to Congress, the Consumer report is not to include experiences or transactions. Late payments are experiences and are illegal to list in the consumer reports... 

Considering they are saying they gave me credit and I owe them no money ; this late fee is illegal... act least according to Congress.

Company: Santander Consumer USA Holdings Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I bought a car and made the first payment over the phone. I told them I wanted to set up Autopay. The autopay never came out, but I was unaware they failed to set it up and the customer service agents XXXX was so broken I couldn't understand anything they were saying. 

COVID happened, my wife got sick and was paralyzed as a result. I was struggling to take care of her and the household during COVID and the company hit me with multiple late fees XX/XX/XXXX to XXXX / XX/XX/XXXX. They repossessed the car. 

I called them and was surprised to hear they never set up autopay. I said I could pay a late fee and the past balance right then and there and asked them why they didn't do autopay to begin with. 

They told me I needed to pay the entire car loan in full or not get the car back. 

I needed the car to care for my XXXX  wife and deal with finding work during COVID. My mother trusts me and she took out a loan in her name with more interest, I paid off the company and am paying my mother back. 

1. I believe the CAREs Act protects consumers from having negative ratings on their credit if they are current on their bills. I paid off the car almost 5 years early. 

2. Legal Exemptions : 15 USC 1681a - 2 ( a ) ( i ) ( 2 ) Exclusions. " Except as provided in paragraph ( 3 ), the term consumer report does not include .... - report containing information solely as to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the person making the report. '' Congress stated that experiences between consumers and the person making the report should be excluded from the report. The company lent me money, I paid them back. Legally, according to Congress, that is all that should be reported.

State: IL

Complaint narrative:
A credit card was fraudulently attempted to be opened in my name on XX/XX/2021 but was blocked by XXXX due to the safeguards that I currently have in place on my credit report. XXXX did an investigation and deemed the attempt to be fraudulent and sent a letter stating the inquiry would be removed within 30 days of the date of the letter ; however, XXXX still has not removed the inquiry. It has now been almost 5 months since the date of the letter and the fraudulent inquiry still appears on my Equifax credit report. I am unable to dispute the inquiry online or by phone. I have sent a letter to Equifax six weeks ago requesting they remove the fraudulent inquiry and they have not yet removed the inquiry. This inquiry likely appears on all three credit bureaus as well and needs to be removed as this was a fraudulent attempt to open a credit card in my name.
