Complaint narrative:
I consistently make timely payments. I'm certain about this. What I'm unsure about is why this company is reporting me as late for certain months, which shouldn't be the case. According to USC 1666b, any billing errors should be corrected, or they'll be liable to pay me {$1000.00} for each account reporting inaccurately.

Issue: Getting a credit card — Card opened without my consent or knowledge
Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: DE

Complaint narrative:
I received a welcoming email to a Zales credit card but I thought it was a phishing email and then days later I received an email stating the my order was delivered to an unfamiliar address with my telephone number attached, but it still appeared to be a scam. Then on XX/XX/2024 I received a XXXX email for a survey for " my product ''. I called the customer service number for Sales and they immediately gave me my balance and usage once I gave the last XXXX digits of my social. I did not apply for a Zales credit card. I was then connected to the fraud department after advising customer service that I did not authorize the credit card. They asked me a lot of questions but could not tell me much over the phone except they would send me correspondence in the mail in XXXX to XXXX business days. At that point I didn't really feel comfortable because they couldn't tell me where the purchase was made, except that it was in store. No store location or time. Only the date. I am submitting this complaint because no one should have been able to open an account without some form of a valid drivers license.

Complaint narrative:
Despite our persistent attempts, I regret to inform you that these fraudulent items still persist on my record. I kindly request that you prioritize the investigation and removal of these fraudulent items with the utmost urgency. It is imperative to take all necessary steps to rectify these discrepancies in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and other relevant regulations.

Furthermore, I would greatly appreciate receiving regular updates on the progress made in resolving these matters and a clear timeline for when I can expect to see these fraudulent items removed from my credit report. I understand that addressing such issues may require time and effort, but I urge you to handle this matter with the diligence and attention it deserves. With this, I am asking for your assistance to remove the items : XXXX XXXX XXXX  Balance : {$2400.00} - The limit to this account was a fraction of the amount due it as stated. That is utterly unfathomable! Had a proper investigation been conducted you would have seen the error and corrected it immediately. You failed to do your job ; you must now REMOVE THIS ITEM ALTOGETHER. 

XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance : {$0.00} - This is showing to be XXXX past due as the current status but it also says its been transferred. Youre showing a payment due amount but how can I owe something to a company that no longer owns the account? You need to change the description to say and change the Current Status to say : Paid as Agreed. Please remove all the negative information as well as it is a violation of automatic stay and bankruptcy court orders. 

XXXX  XXXX Bankruptcy Reference # : XXXX Liability : {$0.00} - This bankruptcy file date is wrong and this bankruptcy is out of statute for reporting on a credit report. It should no longer be reported because it is past the 10-year statute of limitations that a credit bureau can report. Please update the filing date and then remove.

Complaint narrative:
The account is from XXXX XXXX XXXX on behalf of XXXX in the amount of {$890.00}. I have no knowledge of either of these companies, nor was I contacted or notified of any such charges. All of my personal accounts are in good standing. I would never allow anything to go into collections.

Upon my own research, there have been numerous instances of this same exact thing happening to other people. I have attempted to contact this company without success, the number given was provided after speaking with TransUnion. I need this removed from my credit report immediately because it's hindering me from obtaining my financial aid for XXXX XXXX. This is URGENT.
