Finding unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries, and false personal information made or reported without my knowledge or agreement completely stunned and grieved me. I've tried to get clarification from the creditors, but they have blatantly refused to give it to me. I demand that the creditors act immediately and be transparent. The creditors must submit pertinent application materials, show proof of express authority for each query, and give comprehensive details about each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and the kinds of credit products involved. To see what I'm complaining about, please refer to the attached file!

With this loan company, on time payments and automatic payments rewards you with lower interest.

Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
This serves as my final notice and formal complaint regarding Comenity Capital Banks ongoing violation of federal credit reporting and tax laws.

Comenity has acknowledged in writing that my XXXXXXXX XXXX Rewards Credit Card ( account ending in XXXX ) was charged off on XX/XX/year>, and sold to XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/year>. Despite this, Comenity continues to report the account as a charge-off under their name to the credit bureaus misleadingly suggesting I still owe them a debt. 

This is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) and ( b ), which requires furnishers to report accurate and complete information. Since Comenity no longer owns the debt and has been compensated through its sale, continued reporting under their name is inaccurate, misleading, and harmful to my credit profile.

Comenity has also failed to issue a 1099-C for this charged-off debt, despite IRS regulations under 26 U.S.C. 6050P, which require that any discharge of indebtedness over {$600.00} be reported to the IRS and the consumer. Their failure to do so further violates federal law.

I am requesting that the CFPB take enforcement action to require Comenity Capital Bank to : Cease reporting the charge-off under their name Update the tradeline to reflect a {$0.00} balance and sold/transferred status Issue a 1099-C, or provide a valid written explanation for why one is not required Confirm that all updates have been made with XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX XXXX XXXX my final attempt to resolve this matter. If Comenity does not comply, I will pursue legal action under FCRA 1681n and 1681o for statutory damages, actual damages, punitive damages, and attorneys fees. 

Supporting documents including my final notice and prior correspondence are attached.

Complaint narrative:
I submitted a dispute to you regarding multiple inaccuracies on my credit report, including incorrect personal information ( name, addresses ) and multiple inaccurate account entries. Despite providing supporting documents, such as my driver 's license, proof of address, and social security card, you have failed to correct these errors. These inaccuracies impact my credit standing and violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which requires credit bureaus to ensure maximum possible accuracy. Additionally, some of these accounts may involve debts that should have been reported differently under 1099-C tax laws. I formally requested verification and removal of these items, but you have not taken appropriate action.
