Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Card was charged for something you did not purchase with the card
Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I am writing in reference to my two accounts from Comenity Bank regarding my BJs credit card account. 

I was sent a new credit card for my BJs reward account in XXXX of this year. I was a little confused as my original card was not expired or expiring. I called to activate the new card and disposed of the old one. At this time, I had a balance on my account of {$2000.00}. When I received my first statement after this, I saw that I had a balance of {$4100.00}. I was confused as I had not charged anything on my card, so I called the company. At this time, I was told that I had a credit of XXXX on my old account number even though I was being charged the same amount on my new account number. I inquired about having the charge reversed so that I would just owe the original {$2000.00} but on my new account number. I was assured that this would take place and I thought I would just have the balance that I owed on my new card. It seemed from these transactions that somehow within your company, people transferred my balance from the original account to the new account, but did it twice. So that is why I had double the amount of money owed even though I never charged this amount. 

However, fast forward to now, and I received another statement but this time with another charge for {$2000.00} ( this being twice I have been charged this amount added to my original balance ). This brought my new balance owed to {$6700.00}!! Again, I only should owe the original {$2000.00} at this point. The only other charge that I made over the last few months was for {$360.00} to XXXX XXXX XXXX. So, the only balance I should have on either account should be {$2400.00}. At this time, I had also been charged interest on this fraudulent amount and was given a late charge, even though I had automatic payments set up with my original account. I never asked for a new account and when I was given a new card, the two cards were not linked in my account. 

At this time, I still have a balance on my card of {$6700.00} even though I only should owe {$2400.00}. The company keeps telling me that " they are investigating the matter '' but during this time, they are charging me interest and late fees on this astronomical amount that I didn't even charge! Something went wrong internally in their company when they were trying to issue me a new card and now they are fraudulently charging me extra balances. I am asking for this to be resolved and for my original balance to be restored.

Complaint narrative:
I was charged a collections fee of {$650.00} from Conserve from the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX These charges they explained were from housing charges even though I never attended the university. I planned to attend the university all the way back in XXXX  but after they took away my scholarship for no reason, I decided not to attend because I could not afford it without the financial aid they promised me. Since I decided not to attend they charged me housing fees and late fees for their university and put them on my school portal that I had created when I planned on attending. When I decided not to and gave them notice that I would not be attending in the fall ( and quite frankly had a very sour taste in my mouth about the university ) I did not log into my portal anymore. 2 years later, I saw a huge drop in my credit score and I discovered it was due to this issue that I had all the way back in XXXX where I was treated unfairly. I have tried discussing the matter with XXXX themselves and have only gotten in touch with one person. When I spoke to him he said he was going to help me handle my case and said he would call me back the following week. I never got a phone call, I tried to call and email several times and never got a response back. I have also attempted to dispute it through the credit bureaus and that was unsuccessful. I even started thinking maybe I will just borrow {$650.00} from someone to be able to pay this off even though I do not feel like I owe them ANYTHING just so I can get it off my creditbut my credit advisor informed me that even if I do that, the company conserve does not completely remove it off my credit so therfore, it would not benefit me. She advised me to this option as a last hope effort. PLEASE help me resolve this and get this issue off my credit so I can get my score back to where it was ( almost 800! ) thank you!

Complaint narrative:
I am dissappointed with the Credit Bureuas choice of actions as they decide to not remove the disputed accounts and information that resulted due to identity theft under the Fair Credit Reporting Act section 605b. I previously sent a dispute letter to the Credit bureaus dated XX/XX/XXXX, with complete attachments of my personal identification documents as well as the ID THEFT REPORT I received from the FTC. Once again, I was a victim of identity theft and my Personal information was stolen and used to open these fraudulent accounts. I have read that the Credit Repporting Agencies are required to remove any accounts and information that resulted due to identity theft under the strict provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act section 605b. However, in my case, the Credit Bureaus refused to remove the disputed accounts and information as they even claimed that the disputed accounts and information were verified by the Creditors! And yet they have failed to send me copies of proof of verification or proof of ownership to support their claims. I am now submitting this CFPB complaint as a follow up to my previous CFPB complaint I submitted last XX/XX/XXXX. Please remove the following accounts and information completely from my Credit File : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, FL XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$230.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$17000.00} XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Owed : {$6400.00} XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$3100.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance Owed XXXX {$2000.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$15000.00} XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance Owed XXXX {$6700.00} XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$310.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$270.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$310.00} XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$260.00} XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$350.00} XXXX  XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$350.00} XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$350.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$350.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX  XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX/XXXX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  XX/XX/XXXX
