Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
I have already sent a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unknown items on my credit report, but unfortunately, I have not received any response even after 30 days. It feels like I'm being taken advantage of and my disputes are being ignored. According to Section 611 ( a ), if these items are not investigated within 30 days, they should be promptly removed from my credit report. Since it has been over 30 days, I expect these accounts to be updated immediately. If not, I will have no choice but to pursue legal action due to the stress this situation has caused me. Additionally, my information was also affected by the XXXX, Experian, and XXXX data breach, which raises concerns about the security of my personal data.

Despite the multiple previous written requests, the unverified item listed below still remains on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. You are required under the FCRA to have a copy of the original creditor documentation on file to verify that this information is 100 % true, accurate & correct.

In the results of your first investigation and subsequent reinvestigation ( s ), you stated in writing that you verifiedthat this item is being reported correctly? Who verified this item? You have NOT provided me a copy of ANY original documentation ( a consumer contract with my signature on it ) as required under Section 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) & Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). Furthermore, you have failed to provide the method of verification as required under Section 611 ( a ) ( 7 ).

Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Other features, terms, or problems — Problem with rewards from credit card
Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a complaint regarding the mishandling of rewards on my XXXX XXXX Credit Card, issued by Comenity Capital Bank. This issue involves the non-issuance of rewards that I am rightfully entitled to, as outlined in the rewards program 's Terms and Conditions. 
I have consistently met my obligations as a cardholder, always paying my balances in full and never being delinquent on my account. According to my statement that closed on XX/XX/2024, I earned {$160.00} in rewards coupons ( 5 % rewards on purchases at XXXX XXXX ). On XX/XX/2024 I used {$25.00} of these rewards, but the remaining {$140.00} were unexpectedly nullified without explanation as I tried to used these the same day. I contacted Comenity Bank customer service and upon review the representative supposedly escalated to a supervisor. I was informed that a supervisor will follow up. None of that happened no follow up no escalation. I went back 2 days later to the store on XX/XX/XXXX and the same result not able to use my {$140.00} remainder rewards. 
Despite my history of responsible use, the immediate response from Comenity Capital Bank and their customer service representatives to my multiple phone inquiries was to deny any responsibility for the rewards discrepancy. Moreover, they failed to make a reasonable effort to investigate my rewards dispute, as required by the attached Terms and Conditions. The customer service agents repeatedly stated that, once the rewards are issued, they have no control over the matter. Moreover, the representative said she saw no prior notes of my previous calls regarding the issue. This stance directly contradicts their obligations under the cardholder agreement. 
I also sought assistance from a XXXX store manager, making multiple trips to the store where I shop, but I was informed that they have no authority over the rewards program, leaving me with no further recourse. I believe that both Comenity Capital Bank and XXXX XXXX have failed to uphold their contractual obligations, resulting in a loss of rewards that I rightfully earned. To make matters worse, they have provided inconsistent information and given me the runaround in my efforts to resolve this issue.
