Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I had a Wayfair card some years ago. At some point, Wayfair discontinued their card, but Comenity bank took over and looks like they created accounts for everyone who had a Wayfair account. 

I do not recollect activating my new Comenity account. I called Comenity and one of their associates confirmed that somehow my account got activated. Someone used my card for fraudulent purchases in XXXX. I was located in XXXX  at the time. Subsequently I moved to XXXX XXXX  and then on to XXXX. While in XXXX, I received a bill for purchases I did not make. Their customer service reps also made several calls to me to ask me to pay for the bills. I made several calls to Comenity and after long wait times sometimes exceeding 40  minutes, they opened a fraud investigation into this. Subsequently I kept receiving bills for payment and calls and each time I called them to ensure I was not being charged for these fraudulent purchases. Each time they assured me that the investigation was underway. Then today I received another bill from them for late payment charges and a call from their customer service. I'm not confident this company is acting in good faith. 

During my calls with them their fraud department did tell me that other customers were also impacted by this issue. So this issue seems to be more wide spread.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX Someone pretended to be an event coordinator on XXXX and asked me to pay them the fees for a booth that I signed up for. I then paid them {$40.00} with {$2.00} fee on PayPal to their email that they listed. I didn't know at the time they were not the correct person. 
two days later, I got a message from the correct coordinator and she told me this other person was a fraud. 
XX/XX/XXXX I disputed the transaction on PayPal, it closed in the sellers favor. I tried contacting the fake " coordinator '' they are no longer communicating with me. 
I know it's only {$40.00} but this means this person is getting away with lots of other scams just like this.

Product: Student loan — Federal student loan servicing
Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer — Problem with customer service
Company: AES/PHEAA
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I submitted a CFPB complaint on XX/XX/XXXX, as FedLoan Servicing was not providing sufficient information about the status of my requested refund for payments made during the XXXX freeze. My original request to FedLoan Servicing accepted on XX/XX/XXXX was for my {$19000.00} in payments made between XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX to be refunded so that my loans would be reinstated and become eligible for {$10000.00} in debt relief/forgiveness under the Biden-XXXX Administration student debt relief plan. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( " XXXX '' ) at the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency ( " PHEAA '' ) responded to my CFPB complaint, saying : " XXXX performed a comprehensive review of your account. This investigation included the review of all relevant account history and documentation, including any information you provided to us. As you may know, PHEAA/FedLoan Servicing did not renew its federal loan servicing contract with the United States Department of Education XXXX XXXX of XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ), which means PHEAA is unable to process your refund request. Although your account is not active at this time, it will be transferred to another XXXX servicer. You will receive ( or should have received ) communications regarding this transfer. Your outstanding refund request will be sent to the new servicer, who will be able to assist you with your refund request, and if approved, will result in a reinstatement of your loan balance. '' On XX/XX/XXXX, following PHEAA 's CFPB response, I re-contacted FedLoan Servicing by phone as I had not received any communications regarding the transfer of my account to a new servicer ( as indicated by PHEAA in their CFPB response ). A supervisor at FedLoan Servicing confirmed that my account had not been closed/transferred and reassured me that FedLoan Servicing would be responsible for issuing the refund to me and reinstating the loans and that my account nor this process would be transferred to a new XXXX servicer. The supervisor told me this would occur in a minimum of 90 days but could not provide further guidance or timelines. 

Now I am in a position where PHEAA is providing conflicting information on the status of my account. I am left unsure if/when I will receive a refund and be able to proceed with the subsequent steps to apply for loan forgiveness from the Department of Education by the application deadline.

Complaint narrative:
{$1100.00} opened XX/XX/2015 I am requesting an investigation of the following data that appears on my credit report. Specifically, Im disputing the records that your company is sending to the credit reporting agencies. 

When I disputed this record with the credit bureaus, they stated the information was verified. However, because credit recording agencies often use software that doesnt provide complete investigations, I am disputing the information directly with you. This is my right under section 623 of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

If you can not perform this type of investigation or locate all of the records to investigate this dispute, please update the credit bureaus to remove the information. 

Im also asking that you send your method of investigation, along with all records, as well as documentation that proves the account belongs to me. Then I may conduct my own investigation.
