Product: Debt collection — Credit card debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was paid
Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: IL

Complaint narrative:
In XX/XX/XXXX, I refinanced my home and the title company issued a payoff check to Comenity Bank XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX for the full balance. Comenity Bank cashed the check, meaning the account was paid in full. Despite this, the bank later sold or transferred the account to XXXX  on or around XX/XX/XXXX. 

I provided both companies with proof, including a copy of the cashed title company check and my closing disclosure, but they refused to validate the proof or correct the error. Now XXXX is trying to collect a debt that was already paid in full. 

My daughter was listed as an authorized user on the account, and this incorrect collection has negatively affected both of our credit reports. I am requesting that this account be marked paid in full, the collection removed, and all negative credit reporting corrected.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute the recent response provided in regard to my complaint filed with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) concerning the inaccurate reporting of a bankruptcy on my credit file. I have serious concerns about the validity of credit bureaus verification process and the credibility of the information allegedly used to substantiate this reporting. The CFPB response states that the disputed public record, labeled as " US BKPT CT XXXX XXXX XXXX VERIFIED AS REPORTED, '' has been reviewed and verified. However, I have obtained clear, written confirmation from the relevant court XXXX XXXX Bankruptcy Court that they do not report or furnish bankruptcy proceedings information to credit reporting agencies. This official statement from the court raises serious questions about who, in fact, provided the information used in your " verification '' process. Furthermore, I contacted XXXX, a known third-party data provider, and they confirmed that they have no record of the bankruptcy account in question. This evidence contradicts any claim that the information was verified as reported. Given that : 1. 2. The court itself has stated it does not report information to credit bureaus. XXXX, a potential data source, has confirmed no record of the account. It is clear that TransUnion lacks a reliable and valid source to justify the continued reporting of this bankruptcy on my credit file. This failure in the verification process constitutes a direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) under Section 611, which requires that consumer reporting agencies conduct a reasonable investigation to ensure the accuracy of information included in consumer files.

Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this formal dispute and legal demand concerning multiple inaccurate personal identifiersincluding names and addressesthat are currently being reported across my credit files. 
I hereby affirm that I have never used, authorized, or been associated with the listed aliases, and I have never resided at the reported addresses appearing on my consumer reports. These entries are false, misleading, and unverifiable, and they have no lawful connection to me or my financial history. 
The continued reporting of these incorrect names and addresses constitutes a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ), which mandates that consumer reporting agencies follow reasonable procedures to assure maximum possible accuracy in the information they furnish. Additionally, under 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ), you are legally required to conduct a prompt and thorough re-investigation of disputed information upon receiving notice of inaccuracy.

The presence of this false personal information creates a heightened risk of identity confusion and potential fraud, directly harming my ability to obtain credit, employment, or housing under fair and accurate conditions. These errors may also indicate negligent data handling in light of ongoing national identity theft and data breach concerns.

Complaint narrative:
I previously submitted a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report. However, it has now been over XXXX XXXX, and I have not received a response. It appears my disputes are being disregarded, which raises serious concerns. Under Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are required to investigate disputed items within XXXX XXXX If they fail to do so, these items must be removed from my report. 

As more than XXXX XXXX have passed, I expect immediate updates to my credit report reflecting the removal of these disputed accounts. Should this not be addressed promptly, I will be left with no option but to pursue legal action to resolve this issue, as the continued inaction has caused significant stress. 

Moreover, I was affected by the Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.
