Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
My account was paid in full. I called in advance to get the balance prior to paying it off. I paid the entire balance due as reported by their automated system.My credit report actually show a XXXX balance as of XXXX. There have been no subsequent charges on this account.I was charged a finance fee after the account was paid off. So in my opinion the company is not accurately providing the balance to the consumer. I have never had this happen before when paying off a credit card even when previously paying this one off. Furthermore they have started charging late fees. They are assessing fees on a fee. I was under the impression that fees were assessed on past due balance last not fees.

The other inaccurate account that's reporting on consumer 's report is XXXX ( XXXX ). This account is reporting inaccurate, consumer reached out to XXXX in regards to the inaccuracies of late payments being reported for XX/XX/XXXX, this XXXX account has always been in deferment, so there should never be any late payments reflecting on consumer 's credit history for any and all XXXX accounts. Per the XXXX XXXX data formatted standards of legal reporting of consumer accounts and profile history and per the Fair Credit reporting act, namely section 609 a1A, it is in CLARITY that EXPERIAN is MANDATED to retain COMPLIANCE at all times, particularly upon notification by an infringed consumer that EXPERIAN is deficient of its requisites to report adequately and a challenge ( or dispute ) is lodged versus any data information previously NOT proven PHYSICALLY to be affirmed valid or is UNABLE to be demonstrated as true, accurate, complete, timely, and otherwise fully compliant to laws upon a documented declaration of concern by the consumer.

Complaint narrative:
I opened a XXXX card in 2021 and used in store. Last purchase was in XXXX of 2021 of XXXX USD but was paid XXXX days late. Since then i.e. XXXX of 2021 late fee upon late fees have been assessed to this card. I closed the card as well, but late fees continued to occur consequently. So far, XXXX USD of late fees have been charged to this closed card. The responsible bank is Comenity bank. At some point, XXXX started issuing aggressive phone call and text messages starting at XXXX am and continuing until late at night. The phone calls and texts were so frequent that I would receive 10 - 15 phone calls and txt a day. I have tried to call Comenity and resolve the issue by myself, with no success. I have found out Commenity is related with XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX  credit cards as well- I have purchased with these stores and as soon as I have found out the credit card company related with these stores is managed by Comenity I have paid in full and closed those cards. I don't know how I could resolve this issue when I owe nothing to XXXX and don't want to support predatory and unfair crediting practices as these. Could you please help and assist? Thank you in advance,
