However, such information shall not include specific factual information on a consumers credit record obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from a consumer reporting agency when such information was obtained directly from a creditor of the consumer or from the consumer. All entities involved have stated several times that the account ( s ) have been verified, validated and investigated. Yet based on the credit reports, all data must be 100 percent accurate or be removed. The credit reports differ and has information between all 3 reports, that are completely different.

Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Card was charged for something you did not purchase with the card
Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
There were unauthorized charges on my BJ 's - Comenity Capital Bank XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX in the amount of {$4800.00}. I called the credit card company to report this on XX/XX/XXXX when I noticed it. The card was cancelled and a fraud case opened. I have been told that could take up to 3 months to resolve. The amount of the fraudulent purchases were removed from my bill. In the meantime they were doing a system change and no one could get into my account. Somehow they accepted my payment that I owed but added late fees and interest even though I was told not to pay until I received a paper bill. I could not access my account online. I called regarding the fees and was assured they would be removed. Not only did that not happen, more has been added. I have spent endless hours on hold trying to resolve this issue. I do not want my credit impacted as I have been a good customer and have always paid in full and on time. I have been without a replacement credit card for two months and as of today they still can't issue me one as they can't get into my account. I am missing out on the 5 % payback I am due which was the reason I applied for this card. I have gotten no satisfaction from the bank, they just ask me to be patient and it will someday be resolved.
