Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Problem when making payments — Problem during payment process
Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I have had this credit card with AAA for many years. I was informed that the credit card company switched from XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX to Comenity. I noticed on my last bill from them ( I get paper statements in the mail ) that " XXXX  total year to date. Total fees charged in XXXX - {$50.00} '' Didn't understand. I pay all my bills on time and in full. I called Comenity and spoke to a representative. He explained that the date I choose to pay the bill, on that date, XXXX ( my bank ) sends a paper check to Comenity which get to them about XXXX days later. So if the bill is due XX/XX/XXXX, and I arrange to pay the bill through my bank on XX/XX/XXXX, and I arrange that payment the end of XXXX, on XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX sends out a paper check to Comenity. So the payment arrives late, after the XX/XX/XXXX due date. 
I was amazed that in this digital age, paper checks are sent from a bank to credit card. 
I called XXXX and they said that the payment should be received on XX/XX/XXXX, as in my example above. 
I looked at the payment activity on XXXX and saw that all the payments I make to companies are executed " XXXX or XXXX business day electronically. '' But Comenity 's bill says on my XXXX account " XXXX Business Days paper check ''. 
Comenity did give me a credit of {$25.00} from the {$50.00} fees. That {$50.00} fee is not on the front page of the bill, BTW, but on page XXXX. Other people might not notice it. 
I XXXX  complaints from Comenity and there are lots of people making complaints. 
Also, I got an email saying that my payment is due soon for AAA Travel Advantage Visa Signature card ( the full name of the CC ). No where on the email does it say that they are sent a paper check that takes time to get that check. 
They shouldn't be allowed to deceive the public. If you need more information, please let me know. 
In all fairness, I didn't see the actual fees $ XXXX {$25.00} added on to my bill. Is the company actually charging those fees? I would have to add up each month 's statements to determine that.

Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Fees or interest — Problem with fees
Company: WELLS FARGO & COMPANY
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Dear CFPB, I am writing to file a complaint against Wells Fargo regarding their deceptive practices of unbinding my repayment account on my due date and their refusal to rectify the situation. On numerous occasions, I have contacted the bank to address this issue, and they claim that the repayment account, which has been used multiple times, is unverified. However, I have evidence that my XXXX XXXX XXXX account was verified on XX/XX/XXXX, as shown below, and I have made multiple repayments. 

I received {$38.00} in interest income, as evidenced by my account statement from XXXX XXXX. This demonstrates my financial stability and ability to meet my repayment obligations. 

The banks insistence that this is my fault is unjustifiable. Furthermore, they have requested that I re-enter my card information into the app, but the system only informs me that this account already exists and requires another card to be added. This mismanagement by the bank, which is on the brink of bankruptcy, is inexcusable, and they are wrongfully shifting blame onto their customers. 

I am submitting this complaint in the hope that the bank will promptly resolve this issue. In the meantime, I will not bear any interest incurred during this period, as this is not my error. 

Sincerely, XXXX

Complaint narrative:
I've diligently pursued resolutions for the inclusion of these accounts on my credit report, which are entirely unrelated to me. Unfortunately, my multiple dispute submissions have not led to the removal of these erroneous accounts from my credit history. In addition, I've taken the initiative to file numerous reports with the FTC regarding these accounts, which do not have any rightful connection to me. 

It's disheartening to note that these companies have failed in their legal obligation to address these disputes, as required by law.
