Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I fully understand the terms of the deferred interest promotional plan and had every intention of paying off the balance within the promotional period. In the final month, I made a lump-sum payment of {$5800.00} from my account on XX/XX/year>, which reduced the remaining balance to {$200.00} ( please find supporting documentation included ). My wife had automatic payments set up for {$200.00} per month from her banking account that began with the origination of the account, and we were both under the impression that this final {$200.00} payment would process automatically, bringing the balance to {$0.00} and fulfilling the terms of the promotional plan. 

Unfortunately, I was unaware that the lump-sum payment had deactivated the automatic payment setup. This technical oversight was entirely unintentional, and as my payment history demonstrates, it is out of the norm for us to miss any payments. I encourage you to review our credit reports, confirming our consistent track record of paying bills on time and in full. 

The first notification we received about the {$7000.00} charge was on XX/XX/year>. As soon as I saw it, I immediately made the {$200.00} payment that had not been processed automatically, hoping to resolve the misunderstanding by contacting Comenity. They allowed me to open a dispute, and since XX/XX/year>, we have been fighting this issue without any resolution. 

I have submitted four packets of documentation and letters requesting compassion in this matter. My wife and I have spoken with Comenitys customer service multiple times, yet no one has been able to assist us. We have not been given access to anyone in the dispute department, and the frontline customer service representatives have been unable to provide a solution. 

At this point, we are frustrated and unsure of how to proceed.

Complaint narrative:
I am a hardworking individual has been diligently paying my accounts on time for the quite a long time. However, upon reviewing my credit report, I discover several instances of late payments recorded by these creditors. Perplexed by this discrepancy, I contacted these creditors to inquire about the inaccuracies. After discussing the matter with a customer service representative and the billing department, it becomes evident that there was a mutual agreement between me and these creditors to adjust the payment schedule due to unforeseen circumstances. Despite adhering to this adjusted schedule, the payments were mistakenly marked as late in the system. Understanding the gravity of the situation, these creditors swiftly acknowledge the error and assures me that the inaccurate late payments will be rectified. Additionally, they offer to provide written documentation of the agreed-upon payment schedule to prevent any future misunderstandings.

Complaint narrative:
NewRez / ShellPoint mortgage servicing continues to victimize us after our home was destroyed by Hurricane Helene. We are a retired and XXXX XXXX XXXX veteran family. We received a {$130000.00} flood insurance payout from our policy, which was made out to both us and NewRez / ShellPoint mortgage servicing. We properly endorsed the insurance check and sent to NewRez XXXX ShellPoint for proper credit to our escrow account. We requested a payoff letter that included using the insurance money towards our loan payoff, but the company refused, which caused us to have to sell other assets and incur massive capital gains taxes of over {$32000.00} to cover the insurance money during the payoff procedure. In addition to this foolery, our mortgage loan was fully paid off on XX/XX/year>, and NewRez / ShellPoint continue to hold our {$130000.00} insurance payout hostage 20 days later.
