Product: Credit card — Store credit card
Issue: Fees or interest — Problem with fees
Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: OK

Complaint narrative:
I have had significant financial hardship for months now. Its bad enough I am so behind I have to put craft supplies I use for therapeutic reasons on a credit card. That being said, I have still done what I can to pay my bills despite having my fourth leg XXXX in the last couple months and a father who is hospitalized. My medical issues have caused problems with my income but I have still found ways to make my payments. Last month I asked for a late payment credit, which they only gave half back. This is a VERY low limit card, not more than {$300.00} and their late fee is {$30.00}??? on top of the 30 % interest??? So last month I said whatever and paid it but this month Im still struggling and have begged my financial institutions to help me so I can maybe at least get current without fees with the money I do have. Comenity bank refused to credit my late fee despite my promise to pay and despite the fact last month they only credited half. So those fees are almost 25 % of what I owe. Theyve made their interest! Every single bank helped me : XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX, XXXX without any problems and with condolences to my family and situation. 

Now, it would be one thing if it ended there, but after receiving their VERY cold email response that the fees were valid and too bad, they proceeded to CALL ME SEVEN TIMES the same day. I hadnt even received that many calls from them prior so this felt like intentional harassment. I did my due diligence multiple times to let them know my situation and STILL PAY. This is predatory, collection practice abuse, and bottom line : dirty. American consumers deserve better than to be gutted out every end and then to be barraged after TRYING TO PAY just not predatory fees. It takes a one second XXXX search to see comenity bank has had significant complaints regarding the same. 

Thank you in advance, XXXX XXXX

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a complaint against my loan servicer, 1666B, for inaccurately reporting multiple late payments on my credit report.

I was repeatedly told by loan officers at 1666B that my accounts would be paused, placed in forbearance, or temporarily suspended. Based on their instructions, I believed no payments were due during these periods. However, they failed to process the pause correctly and never notified me by email, text, or phone that the loans had become delinquent.

As a result, I was unaware of any issues until I reviewed my credit report and saw the late payments listed. I have attempted to dispute these inaccuracies directly with the credit bureaus and with 1666B, but the late payments remain, despite the fact that they are the result of internal error and poor communication by the loan servicer.

Complaint narrative:
Good day. I can not stress enough how frustrating and debilitating this situation has become. I woke up one day to find a collection account linked to my namean alleged debt I know nothing about. It is unverified, unfamiliar, and simply not mine. On top of that, I have been receiving harassment across multiple communication platforms, each using different tactics, including threats of legal action. As a law-abiding citizen, this is incredibly insulting and a blatant violation of my consumer rights. This issue has severely affected my mental health, causing extreme stress and several sleepless nights.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: SC

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit
reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.
