Consumer complaint received 2023-11-30 00:00:00
Product: Credit card — Store credit card
Issue: Other features, terms, or problems — Problem with customer service
Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I have been trying to setup online services for my XXXX account since it was transitioned to Comenity Bank. My previous account was setup on auto pay, and this did not transition to the new company. I have tried since XXXX and am presented with an error on their website " Its not you! Its us. Were experiencing a technical issue. Our team is working to resolve this as soon as possible. Please try again later. '' I have contact Comenity Bank on multiple occasions about this issue and have gone through countless troubleshooting steps with them. During one of my most recent conversations, a supervisor stated that the issue was theirs, and that they would create a ticket with their " back office '' and have it resolved. It has still yet to be resolved. When I call, they continuously tell me that it's an issue on my end, even though the error clearly states that it's on theirs. This causes considerable confusion for a basic consumer. Additionally, when someone calls in and tells you that their online account isn't working, don't recommend online account resolutions. Why would a customer service agent tell me I can update something online when I have JUST explained to them that I can't create an online account? 

This account was reported as delinquent to the credit reporting agencies due to Comenity Bank 's inability to properly assist in creation of an online account. They then refuse to assist in troubleshooting the issue even though the messages clearly state that the issue is theirs, not the consumers. They make it nearly impossible to get account information to send in payments via mail, they won't give you your account number, which they say is required on the check to process the payment... It's truly astonishing that this type of behavior is allowed to happen.

Complaint narrative:
This letter is to formally advise you that I believe your company has violated several of my consumer rights. Specifically, you failed to validate a debt at my request, which is a FDCPA violation and you continued to report a disputed debt to the Credit Bureaus : another FCRA violation. Not only have you ignored my prior requests for validation of debt but you continue to report this debt to the credit bureaus causing damage to my character. This letter will again request that you follow the FDCPA and please provide the following validation of debt request : -Proof of your right to own/collect this alleged debt -Balance claimed including all fees, interest and penalties -Contract bearing my personal signature As you may be aware, " Estoppel by Silence '' legally means that you had a duty to speak but failed to do so therefore, that must mean you agree with me that this debt is false. I will use the Estoppel in my defense. I expect to receive the proof requested above within 15 days of this letter. 
Should you again ignore my request for validation of debt I reserve the right to sue your company for violations of my consumer rights as specified under both the FDCPA and the FCRA. I may also seek damages from you if warranted.

Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the presence of fraudulent charges and collection accounts on my credit report, which are negatively impacting my creditworthiness and causing distress to my mental health. I recently obtained a copy of my credit report from your bureau, and upon careful review, I discovered several items that are inaccurately reported. 
I am a victim of identity theft, and I have taken the necessary steps to report the fraudulent activities to the relevant authorities. However, I am deeply troubled to see that these fraudulent charges and collection accounts remain on my credit report, despite my status as a victim. 
Below are the details of the disputed accounts : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX have already removed this account from their records. There was an error present & they were able to find it. I'm confused how you've verified it while the other bureaus have removed. Please delete this from my file. It is inaccurate, erroneous, incomplete or unverifiable.

I request an immediate and unexempted removal of these fraudulent charges and collection accounts from my credit report. The inaccuracies in my credit report are not only affecting my financial standing but also causing undue stress and anxiety. As a law-abiding citizen, it is disheartening to face the consequences of identity theft when I am the victim.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the recent attempt to rectify the delayed opening of my account. Despite my previous correspondence and the acknowledgment of the issue, I find it regrettable that a second attempt has proven unsuccessful. 

I first brought the matter to your attention, outlining the inconvenience caused by the delayed account opening. In response, I received assurances that prompt action would be taken to address the matter. Unfortunately, it has come to my attention that the issue persists, prompting me to register this formal complaint. 

I understand that unforeseen circumstances may contribute to delays in processing, but the repeated failure to resolve this matter is both frustrating and unacceptable. As a customer, I expect a level of service that includes timely and efficient handling of account-related matters. 

I request that you investigate the root cause of this delay and take immediate action to rectify the situation. Additionally, I would appreciate regular updates on the progress made to ensure that the matter is resolved without further delay. 

If the necessary steps are not taken promptly to address this issue, I may have no choice but to explore alternative options and escalate this matter further through appropriate channels, including filing a complaint with the relevant regulatory bodies. I am asking for your assistance to correct the late open account : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$2700.00}.

Complaint narrative:
I spoke with the lender on XX/XX/2023, about doing a soft credit pull before I started completing the loan application. The mortgage lender agreed that he was only going to do a soft pull. I completed the application on XX/XX/XXXX and discovered that the lender lied and pulled a hard pull on my credit. I called the lender immediately once I found out. The lender said he don't recall us having the conversation about just doing a soft pull on my credit. He showed no remorse. I called the bank the next day and spoke with the manager and was told they was going to take care of it and pair me with a new lender, and yet I still haven't heard back from the bank.
