Complaint narrative:
Accounts on my consumer report have been linked to identity theft, and I never provided written authorization, including a wet signature, for their inclusion. I recently communicated with your organization about this matter, and I am formally requesting the prompt blocking and removal of these accounts from my report. Their presence has caused significant emotional and financial distress, as they inaccurately represent my credit history and responsibilities. If this issue is not appropriately addressed, I am prepared to take legal action to protect my rights and seek resolution. These fraudulent items on my credit record have hindered my ability to achieve important financial goals, such as purchasing a home and meeting the needs of my family.

Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/23 : I contacted Comenity Capital Bank to request direct deposit of my {$320.00} earned cash back rewards. Spoke with XXXX. 

He then conferenced in XXXX, who asked me to verify my cell # so she could send a confirmation text. She then stated " it wouldn't let her send the text '', with no other explanation, and then said the direct deposit could not be performed. I asked her and XXXX to identify how Comenity planned to resolve, since i was able to receive text messages and was, in fact, speaking to them on that phone number. 

XXXX referred back to XXXX, who said he would consult a supervisor and XXXX left the call. 

XXXX consulted a supervisor who refused to speak with me, and said he was told I would have to call back on Monday. I said that was not acceptable and I asked to speak with the supervisor. 

After much back-and-forth, XXXX referred me to a different supervisor, XXXX, who stated there was " information they could not verify '', but he " couldn't tell me what it was. '' I was told I would have to call back Monday and XXXX can resolve it for me then. 

I believe Comenity is refusing to disperse my earned cash back reward.
