Issue: Problem when making payments — You never received your bill or did not know a payment was due
Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: AL

Complaint narrative:
For some time I have wanted to pay the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( Comenity Bank XXXX for several reasons : XXXX ) Difficulty paying online from my bank XXXX ) Harassment by constant calls XXXX ) Very high interest rates and charges. 
On XX/XX/XXXX, I called the telephone system and was informed that my total debt was {$120.00} and I decided to pay it all to get out of this XXXX Last week I received an account statement with a debt of {$44.00} and when I call on Sunday, XX/XX/XXXX, the system informs me that it was {$85.00} ( XXXX and XXXX ). 
The court date told me that it was XX/XX/XXXX, so I don't understand why they don't check the debt data until that day, nor considering that I haven't used the XXXX in a long time. The payment date was the XXXX, because it was difficult to achieve, since you have to have about 30 minutes to pay, it was not the only date that I had to pay late. 
The amount of the charges that they included is greater than the minimum payment of the XXXX, so that way they have been charging money to my Card without my knowledge or authorization. 
For my purposes, pay the entire debt on XX/XX/XXXX. 
I received constant calls from Comenity Bank, at different times and several times a day, which I assumed was to offer me another XXXX. Normally, I don't receive calls that they don't have on record, so I don't receive them. The only way I could find out about the unauthorized charges to my XXXX was a delayed account statement until last week, otherwise they would continue charging their services, that is why I am making this complaint, because I want my balance to be cleared like I left on XX/XX/XXXX and not knowing more about Comenity Bank. In the same way, I hope that this does not affect my credit history, since I am a very responsible person since I have 3 additional XXXX that I use responsibly.

Complaint narrative:
Upon securing a copy of my updated Credit Report from XXXX and investigated it, I noticed that there are still Erronenous accounts being reported by the Credit Bureaus. I thought these Accounts were already been taken care of due to the multiple written letters I have been sending to the Credit Bureaus, and the last letter I sent to the Credit Bureaus was XX/XX/2022, requesting the correction of the erroneous information being reported by the Accounts. Since I believed the Credit Bureuas didnt properly investigate my dispute I contacted the data furnisher on the previous month via certified mail. They were responding proving to me that I was correct. The Credit Bureaus ' records show that it was incorrect. The Credit Bureaus should have never failed to verify these accounts in accordance to the FCRA Sections 609 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). It is not authorized to fail to validate these reporting accounts as unverified information without providing any proof within the period allowed by law. Once again, I am urging the Credit Bureuas to correct the following accounts : XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$58.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX Balance Owed : {$9600.00}
