Complaint narrative:
XX/XX/year> I sent LVNV Funding a Cease and Desist letter for all debt communication. Despite this request they still communicate and report to the credit bureaus and not provide what was asked. I've asked for the licensing and bonding information to collect debt in the state of Michigan prior to this letter and they still haven't been able to provide it. I've also looked this company up in XXXX and no licensing or company information was found in the database during the search. They continue to report on my credit without proper validation. Sending me bills is not a form of debt validation. I have yet to receive evidence to substantiate the debt such as proof of assignment or transfer of the debt.

Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: OH

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint against Comenity Bank ( Victorias Secret Credit Card ) regarding a charge that was unfairly placed on my account and has since negatively impacted my credit report. 

Around XXXX or XXXX, I attempted to make a purchase through Victorias Secret, but the order never went through. I never received a confirmation, no items were delivered, and no purchase appears in my Victorias Secret account. I called customer service numerous times, and each time they confirmed there were no purchases under my account from XXXX to the present. 

Despite that, I was still charged and subsequently hit with late fees, interest, and collection notices for a balance tied to a purchase that never happened. The Victorias Secret card was not used for anything else, and I have no record of an order or transaction. Yet I was left with a credit card balance, and every attempt I made to clarify or dispute this was dismissed. 

Despite my repeated efforts to contact both Comenity and Victorias Secret for assistance, I was told they could not help me because there was no order number on file. That fact alone should have supported my casehow could I be charged without an actual purchase? 

Eventually, I took the time to write and submit a XXXX letter explaining the situation, hoping Comenity would see the context and resolve the matter fairly. That too was denied without any real acknowledgment of the circumstances.

This has been emotionally and financially distressing. I was consistently hit with late fees and collection threats for something I never received, and no one provided help despite my willingness to cooperate and resolve the issue. 

I am requesting that Comenity Bank provide full documentation of the purchase that supposedly triggered this balanceincluding the order date, items purchased, total amount, and tracking or delivery status. If such proof can not be provided, I respectfully request the immediate removal of this charge and the negative marks it has placed on my credit report. 

Thank you for your time and assistance in correcting this unjust situation.

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Equifax Data Breach Dispute Demand for Immediate Deletion of Fraudulent Account Based on CFPB Action To Whom It May Concern, I am formally disputing the presence of the following account on my credit file, which I believe is the result of identity theft stemming from the Equifax data breach : Below is a list of the accounts and Inquiries I am disputing as fraudulent : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  exposed sensitive personal data for over XXXX XXXX Americans, including critical identifiers such as Social Security numbers and credit card information. Given the nature and suspicious origination of this account, I have reason to believe it was fraudulently opened without my authorization using compromised information from that breach. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) 611, I am exercising my right to dispute this account and demand its immediate and permanent deletion from my credit file. 

Additionally, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureaus ( CFPB ) recent lawsuit against XXXX reinforces my demand. The CFPB alleged that XXXX has failed to properly investigate disputed information and has continued to report unverifiable or inaccurate data violations that directly harm consumers, especially in cases involving identity theft from known data breaches. 

Based on the above, I am demanding the immediate deletion of the account in question. If you can not prove this account was lawfully opened with my full authorization, it must be removed in accordance with federal law. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
