Product: Credit card — Store credit card
Issue: Problem when making payments — Problem during payment process
Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
I have a XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX with Commenity Bank. I switched bank accounts a couple of months ago and thought that all of my bills were taken care of. I started getting collections calls from Commenity and when I went to check on my account I found that they had deleted all of my forms of payment and my bill had not been paid. I called them and we re entered my bank information and I was assured that the problem was taken care of and my payment would be withdrawn from my bank account. A week later I checked on my credit card again and the payment had still not gone through. On the statement it said it was declined. I called commenity again. We went through and deleted my bank account and manually inputted it again and I was again assured that It was taken care of. It was not. This has been going on for months now. The same thing over and over again. They assure me I am taken care of, my payment does not get paid, I call them again. The last time I called was a couple of weeks ago to try to make another payment as well as turn the card off. That payment went through, but now since I have missed so many payments I can not afford the minimum payment on the account so I was only able to make a partial payment. I was told that my regular minimum payment would be taken out the next month ( this month, XXXX ) I checked the day that my payment is supposed to come out and my account said I was all set to make the payment. It is now a week later and my payment has not been made. I'm going to have to call again. I don't know what the issue is and why my payments are not being taken by Commenity. All of my other bills and all of my other credit cards have had no issue pulling out of my bank account. I have also called my bank multiple times to insure that I have correct information and I do. This card is single handedly tanking my credit score. I am frustrated and I don't know what else to do. I work all day, everyday, I can not afford to spend hours on the phone with this company every single month to be assured that my account is being taken care of only to have it not taken care of.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I am XXXX XXXX XXXX and I am a natural living person. I am writing to dispute certain information present on my credit report, which I believe is inaccurate. This dispute is based on the provisions outlined in the Fair Credit Reporting Act, including 15 U.S. Code 1681a, 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2, and 15 USC 1681a 2 ( A ) ( i ).

[ Describe the specific inaccuracies on your credit report. Include any incorrect transactions, erroneous account details, or other errors. ] According to 15 U.S. Code 1681a, the definition of a consumer report excludes reports containing information solely as to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the reporting entity. It is evident that the information in dispute falls under this exclusion.

Furthermore, 15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 emphasizes the responsibility of furnishers of information to consumer reporting agencies. The law stipulates that furnishers must provide accurate information and prohibits reporting with actual knowledge of errors.

In addition, 15 USC 1681a 2 ( A ) ( i ) supports my claim by specifying exclusions from the definition of a consumer report, highlighting the relevance of the disputed information to this exclusion.

Based on the provisions mentioned above, I kindly request an investigation into these discrepancies and urge prompt action to rectify the inaccuracies. As per my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, I also request that you provide me with a written explanation of the results of your investigation.

Enclosed are copies of documents supporting my claim for your review.

I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and request that the inaccurate information be corrected or removed from my credit report at the earliest. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX This updated letter includes the additional law you provided, reinforcing your dispute based on relevant statutes.
