Complaint narrative:
A few weeks ago I sent letters to all 3 credit bureaus regarding some items on my credit report which I know are not accurate which is a violation of the FCRA and FDCPA and you must abide by the law. Everything I have provided in my letters is true and accurate to my knowledge. Ive received emails and letters saying Im using a 3rd party which is incorrect because I am the one sending my letters out and filing this complaint with no help from a credit repair company or 3rd party. The CRAs are in violation of my rights due to not providing a notice of dispute and for failure to communicate to me that I disputed stuff on my credit. I request these accounts to be deleted from my credit asap or I will take legal action and hire a lawyer. I want to purchase a house soon and this holding me back.

I would like the items I disputed in my letters to be handled accordingly based on the reasons that I put in my letters.

Complaint narrative:
I have had numerous issues with Experian not reporting the correct information. Recently they have violated federal laws pertaining to reporting credit and handling disputes. I have a credit line of 5 digits that is not purposely being reported. This negatively effects my credit worthiness and wrongfully gives the facade of a lack of credit worthiness. This account does not show any status nor my payment history. All of which negatively effects my credit and appears to be racially motivated. A dispute was submitted and after the dispute my account was not fixed.

Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX XXXX someone started making fraudulent charges on my card. They charged over {$30000.00} without the card company reporting any suspicious activity. All charges were made in XXXX and the XXXX. I've never been there. I was using the card in my home area of XXXX XXXX at the same time. How could I be in 2 places at once? This went on until I noticed something was wrong towards end of month of XX/XX/2022, called card company and cancled the card. The company told me in XX/XX/2022 that an investigation would be completed within 90 days and a copy of the report sent to me with their decision. I never received a report. They did clear all but {$790.00} and then began charging me interest and late fees. I have written them and called them and they have never answered my questions as what these charges are for and what their decision was with regard to my complaints. I've sent 3 letters and called numerous times. The last time I called they claimed that a response letter was on the way to me but almost a month later I have received nothing. I received my latest statement today and they are currently billing me {$840.00} but will offer no proof and answer no questions as to what these charges are for. I'm having difficulty finding a lawyer in my area to help me.

Company response to consumer: Closed with monetary relief
