Complaint narrative:
Upon reviewing my credit report, I discovered several accounts that I do not recognize and believe to be fraudulent. These accounts appear to be opened without my authorization, and I am deeply concerned about the potential impact on my credit standing and financial well-being. I suspect that I am a victim of identity theft, as I have not initiated or authorized the opening of these accounts. The presence of these unauthorized accounts on my credit report has caused me significant distress and uncertainty about the security of my personal information. I have attached a copy of my credit report highlighting the unrecognized accounts for your reference.

Issue: Communication tactics — Frequent or repeated calls
Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I made a payment but it pulled from the wrong account somehow ( I have tried to remove this account several times to avoid this from happening, but I'm unable to do so in the portal ) so it was returned. I didn't know this because I never received a notification from the company, so I was unable to rectify the situation before my payment was considered late. Once it was considered late, I was charged with several late fees, and my payment due went from {$30.00} to {$290.00}. I have since paid {$50.00} towards the amount to at least remedy the actual amount that is overdue ( and then some ), but am unable to pay the remainder until I get paid tomorrow, as this multiplied payment was an unanticipated expense. 

Now, I have received 12 phone calls over the course of the last 5 calendar days, only 3 of which ( including today ) are business days. Based on their course of activity thus far, it is likely I will receive a minimum of two more calls this evening. I attempted to answer the most recent two calls ( the previous 10 were sent to voicemail due to my phone being on do not disturb ), but the first call hung up on me and the second call was a recording telling me to call them. Therefore, I was unable to speak with a real person to inform them that they no longer have permission to contact me via telephone. 

They have called me from several numbers, some of which come up as " COMENITY BANK '', others come up as " Unknown Caller. '' The call history is as follows : XXXX. Unknown Caller, XX/XX/XXXX @ XXXX. 
XXXX. XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX @ XXXX.

Complaint narrative:
I had been currently filing for insurance quotes for a car I was trying to finance on XX/XX/2024. When I finished putting all my information in ( Name, DOB, Social security # ), I had noticed there had already been other vehicles registered under my name to add insurance to. I did not own any other vehicles at the time, and later found out that names were also registered for whatever insurance I was applying for. I even tried this with several other insurance companies, and recieved the same results. The names listed were that of previous family members, whom I had recent falling outs in the past year. I did not consent to them registering vehicles under my name, nor was it to my knowledge. Everything at the dealership went fine otherwise, but I can only assume they've been using my social security # for credit reports and/or insurance quotes.
