Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: TN

Complaint narrative:
I received a letter in the mail stating that a card was opened in my name at " XXXX ''. I did not apply for this card and promptly called Comenity to let them know that this is fraud and not me. I later received the " card '' and notified of the {$1400.00} balance that I did not charge.They said they would investigate. I called back several times and made no progress. They said they had 90 days to investigate. They said that the money was spent at a store in XXXX and the store had 90 days to get them info. I called the store in an attempt to expedite the process and the manager had no knowledge. I called Comenity Bank back and they said that they don't contact the store to investigate. They don't seem to know their investigation process. I followed up by writing letters and spending {$30.00} to mail documents to credit bureaus so they could investigate per the information on the FTC XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, and XXXX XXXX Today, I got a letter in the mail stating that the account is factual according to XXXX. It is NOT!! XXXX and XXXX removed the false information from my credit report. It seems to me that someone could look at my credit report and see that I did not need to open a card and max it out in the same day. I could have used one of my other cards with a lower interest rate if I wanted to make the purchase. This is not me and if it is not remedied then I will be looking for an attorney. I have worked years to have good credit and now I have spent 3 months of time, effort, and certified mail to remove something that shouldn't be on my credit. Ironically, this same person who was extended the credit with Comenity also applied for credit at XXXX XXXX and Big Lots and they were denied so that leaves me wondering if Comenity extended credit with inaccurate information.

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Request for Correction of Erroneous Reporting of Student Loan Accounts under FCRA XXXX Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding inaccurate credit reporting by XXXX concerning my student loan accounts. According to my records and supporting documentation, all ten of my student loan accounts were placed under forbearance as of XX/XX/2020. Despite this, each account was erroneously reported as 90 days late during the same period. 

I have already initiated a dispute with XXXX and provided them with the necessary documentation that confirms the forbearance status of these accounts. Unfortunately, XXXX has not rectified the inaccurate reporting, and this misinformation continues to be reflected in my credit reports by the major credit bureaus. 

The persistence of this incorrect information is causing significant financial distress, as it erroneously portrays my financial responsibility and hinders my ability to secure credit. This misreporting falsely indicates that I have ten seriously delinquent accounts, which is misleading and damages my creditworthiness. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) : Section 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ) requires that consumer reporting agencies conduct a reasonable reinvestigation to determine whether the disputed information is inaccurate and correct or delete any inaccuracies found. 

Section 623 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ) obligates furnishers of information, like XXXX, XXXX provide accurate information to the credit bureaus and to correct any inaccuracies once identified. 

Given the clear discrepancies between XXXX  reporting and the documented status of my accounts, I am requesting that the CFPB assist in ensuring these inaccuracies are corrected. Specifically, I ask for XXXX to cease the incorrect reporting and for the credit bureaus to remove the erroneous entries from my credit report immediately. 

I have attached the relevant documentation that supports my forbearance status during the time in question and am prepared to provide any further information required. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter and for your assistance in upholding the standards set forth by the FCRA. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
