I have requested multiple times for the Method of Validation as to who is reporting this, as there is a bankruptcy that has popped up on my credit report.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem — Problem with personal statement of dispute
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I questioned a delinquent account I saw on my Trans Union credit report. My understanding was that the company XXXX XXXX XXXX was paid off with my Bankruptcy discharge in XXXX. The car was totaled and my car insurance company paid XXXX XXXX XXXX the value of the car. 
When I inquired into the delinquent account the investigation showed that I owed a {$2000.00}. balance with XXXX XXXX XXXX. Although this was a delinquent account from more than 8 years ago, Trans Union reported it as a NEW delinquent account and it dropped my FICO score in XX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX This severe drop occurred in 1 month and I did nothing in that time to drop my score- all bills were paid on time and I had no new delinquent accounts. This XXXX point drop devastated my chances of getting a good rate on a car loan, apartment or anything that I was was building my credit for 8 years. I have been responsible and building my credit since XXXX  and I disputed the delinquent account was 8 years old, but it was newly added to my credit history and should not affect my current score. I asked to speak to someone at Trans Union and tried to dispute it but have been unsuccessful. My car insurance renewal premium increased because of my lower credit score. Because of the current high interest rates, I'm looking for options to reduce a high interest credit card, but my credit score is still a problem. 
I am requesting that the credit reporting companies treat this as a delinquent account from 8 years ago and that I have built my credit since then. I am asking that they look at my credit history since XXXX to increase my credit score to allow me to qualify for the loans at a more fair rate based on my recent credit responsibility.

Complaint narrative:
Dear CFPB, Today I contacted Wells Fargo Bank again, and the call lasted for XXXX XXXX. They informed me that they have processed the following XXXX transactions and provided claim IDs : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX However, the issue is that when I asked whether I need to pay these pending claims next month, they kept transferring me to different departments without providing an answer. Finally, they told me that these claims are still waiting for me to provide documentation! 

I have already mentioned that I reported each claim to the bank over the phone, providing all the specific information based on the questions they asked. Yet, they refuse to process them and continue delaying intentionally. They claim that I havent provided the information, but how is it possible when I already have the claim IDs? It is clear that this bank is taking money without taking action! 

I hope the authorities will step in to supervise and address the disgraceful behavior of this unscrupulous bank!

Issue: Problem when making payments — Problem during payment process
Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
Back in XXXX of 2022, there was no announcement that Comenity Credit Card was going to shut down their payment processes online. There was no way to log in to see what was being billed, there was no way to make a payment, not even by phone. Then when I found out " XXXX XXXX  '' was opened in XX/XX/2022 there was still no representation of statements of bills and no way to know how much was being charged to my account. There was no announcement that the website was back up. As of now, I can see statements, but not all of them are accounted for XX/XX/2022 is missing. I have been trying to make payments and sent Comenity two physical letters from my bank stating the payments were never tried and have not heard back from them on this specific topic. I have been charged for " chargebacks '' saying Comenity tried to charge my bank but it never went through. None of the payments I scheduled went through the day I scheduled them to go through. I have been charged late fees that have added up to over {$200.00} on my credit card. I asked to have them removed, but no response was made until today XX/XX/2022, and was just simply told I did not qualify. Other customers of Comenity were subjected to waived fees and charges. I have reported them to the XXXX, but nothing was done and no reports or changes have been made. I have also received a " bill '' in the mail explaining my account was closed due to the supposed sent-back payments. 

Since XX/XX/2022 I have not received a physical letter, bill, or email stating their apology, or updates on the interest I should not have been charged, and they still continue to charge interest and late fees to this date. Nothing was done on their part with the last case so I am making a new case. No apology, no explanation was given, and no charges were stopped or managed.

Issue: Trouble during payment process — 
Company: NEW YORK COMMUNITY BANCORP INC
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
My monthly payment is {$2400.00}. The bank after a single year has 'found ' a shortage of my Escrow, that they are responsible for calculating. They are now claiming my monthly payment is {$32000.00} which is > {$700.00} dollars different. They sold me on the reduced mortgage amount during the refinance process and now have taken back any savings that I had from the refinance. The Bank deliberately low-balled the escrow estimate to get me to sign the new loan, which is Fraud. Flagstar bank has conveniently made an error in their favor on a regular basis that has impacted my financial status over the last year of having the loan with them. Their 'miscalculation ' is 77 % higher, my taxes didn't go up by 77 %. My Tax value went up by 15 % not 77 %. There is no reasonable reason why my escrow value should double.

Issue: Advertising and marketing, including promotional offers — Didn't receive advertised or promotional terms
Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
I was mailed an advertisement from XXXX bank that was in my name saying : " Activate your new XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX credit card and earn {$100.00} cash back when you spend {$2000.00} with your card before XX/XX/2023 '' After receiving this, I activated the XXXX card I received earlier in the mail. I spent the {$2000.00} with this card before XX/XX/2023. 

I called Comenity in XXXX, asking where the {$100.00} cash back was and I was told I needed to wait 90 days but that I already met the promotional terms. 

After waiting 90 days, I called XX/XX/XXXX and talked with XXXX. ( Customer rep # XXXX ) I was told that I met the promotional terms and that I would see the money in a few days. 

After waiting a couple of days, I called XX/XX/XXXX and spoke with Mikala ( Customer XXXX # XXXX ). At this point, I was told that I would not receive the {$100.00} because the advertisement was mailed to me in error. I asked why I was not told this in any of my previous phone calls and XXXX could not explain why. 

The rep then offered that a letter was sent XX/XX/XXXX informing customers that the offer was issued erroneously. I asked why I haven't received it or why the letter was sent out so much later than the original letter and XXXX could not explain why. I asked how they could send such a letter after XX/XX/XXXX ( the spending deadline ) and was not given an explanation. I asked for a copy of the letter and XXXX explained that should could not give me a copy. 

I have met the terms of the promotion ( of this there is no dispute ) The company simply does not want to pay me because they claim the offer that was mailed to me personally in error. I did not receive this letter and even if the claim is true that they did send the letter, the rep said the letter was mailed XX/XX/XXXX, at least XXXX months after the promo was sent out and past the date when the promotion ended! 

I have never made a complaint with the CFPB before and I've never had an incident where a bank refused to comply to its own terms written to me personally. I am simply asking for the {$100.00} promised in the promotion. If I did not receive this promotion, I would never have spent {$2000.00} on this card I have attached the promotion below that was mailed to me personally with my name and address.
