Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
Around XX/XX/XXXX, Comenity encountered a customer service outage, leaving cardholders unable to manage their accounts or make payments. My account was affected and I was unable to make my payment on XXXX XXXX and thereafter. Comenity Bank later stated on XX/XX/XXXX, that their system update was taking longer than expected, causing disruptions. Despite this, they failed to inform customers beforehand. On XX/XX/XXXX, I received an email regarding a billing statement update, acknowledging the website 's temporary downtime. The email provided alternative payment options. Despite attempts to contact customer service on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, no assistance was available, leading to late payments and credit score impact. Although Comenity claimed access restoration on XX/XX/XXXX, ongoing system outages persisted, affecting account access and payment capabilities. On XX/XX/XXXX, Comenity admitted to continued disruptions, contradicting their earlier statement. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, Comenity acknowledged on XXXX that intermittent outages were still affecting its services, without extending late fee waivers or providing further accommodations for affected customers. Despite instructions to use XXXX and telephone channels, I couldn't pay my bill during the outage, resulting in late fees. 
Despite assurances from Comenity Bank that the outage would be brief, I couldn't access my account for weeks, missing the credit card payment deadline. Comenity attempted to ease concerns by waiving late fees for payments due between XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, and assured that late payments wouldn't impact credit scores, urging the use of XXXX online. 

It wasn't until XX/XX/XXXX, that I regained account access, allowing me to make an immediate payment. However, on XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX notified me of past due status reported to all three credit bureaus. Despite disputing this, Comenity insisted on the accuracy of their reporting. 

On XX/XX/XXXX, I sought a goodwill adjustment from Comenity, but they failed to acknowledge their error. Instead, on XX/XX/XXXX, they reiterated their obligation to report accurate information under the FCRA. 

Comenity 's actions violate the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and the Federal Trade Commission Act by providing misleading information and causing substantial harm to my credit report. Their failure to ensure operational payment sites and customer service lines led to significant damage to my credit history. I request an investigation and the correction of payment histories across all three credit bureaus for XX/XX/XXXX, supported by attached evidence.

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY BLATANT FRAUD.

Complaint narrative:
I reviewed my credit report and I noticed I had a collection with a company called Portfolio Recovery. I have never had an account or sign any contract with this company saying that I will pay them for a collection I have no knowledge of. The company have stated they sent me a letter, they showed the letter in which I have no knowledge or address listed or a forwarding letter to my current address. This has put strain on my credit report with the collection agency trying to collect a debt in which they claim to have purchased from another company. My rights have been violated, I have not received any notification for the debt that has been reporting on my credit report.

I recently checked my credit report and saw that I had a charged off account from them to Midland Credit Management. I looked into the account on their website and found my payment history. In XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX I verbally spoke with a representative and they told me how my credit account would not be reactivated after payment, and that I would have to reapply for another account for a new credit card. I did not go through with it. XXXX XXXX had still been charging fees up until XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX although the account was closed. I requested Midland to send all information they had to prove how they got to the balance of {$410.00}, and when I looked at the payment history they have, it shows that I was still being charged for an account I no longer had. XXXX XXXX charged me {$39.00} plus interest from XXXX XXXX XXXX before charging the account off when the account was in fact closed and unable to use.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
The glaring absence of tangible evidence validating its accuracy, along with the dissemination of unsubstantiated information, represents a clear breach of the legal framework delineated in 15 USC 1681i ( 7 ). This regulatory violation is not only disheartening but also frustrating, given the imperative for compliance. Thus, I strongly advocate for the expedited removal of this account in accordance with the law, unless sufficient evidence is promptly provided to validate its legitimacy. Failure to address this issue promptly only exacerbates the frustration stemming from the disregard for legal standards.
