Complaint narrative:
After carefully reviewing my consumer report, I realize my consumer rights have been violated. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 USC 1681a Definitions : Rules of Construction ( 2 ) ( a ) ( i ) States the term consumer report doesnt not include any report containing information solely as to transactions or experience between the consumer and the person making the report. Late payments are a form of transactions and utilization is an experience created by credit usage. XXXX, XXXX AND EQUIFAX ARE reporting late payments on multiple accounts ( XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX ) and/ or Utilization is an experience created by credit usage. 15 USC 1681b ( a ) ( 2 ) states any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other, in accordance with the consumer to whom it relates. I never gave XXXX, XXXX AND EQUIFAX OR XXXX XXXX written instructions to report anything to my consumer report, let alone this late payments/utilization. Also, according to 15 USC 1681 602 Congressional findings and statement of purpose states, There is need to insure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumers right to privacy. It also states the banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting method undermined the public confidence with is essential to the continues function of the banking system. Nothing about the reporting of these late payments are accurate and my privacy has been violated due to XXXX violated my consumer rights by allowing these late payments/utilization to report to my consumer report! 

XXXX, EQUIFAX, XXXX AND XXXX XXXX ARE IN VIOLATION OF 15 U.S. Code 6802 - Obligations with respect to disclosures of personal information ( b ) OPT OUT ( 1 ) IN GENERAL A financial institution may not disclose nonpublic personal information to a nonaffiliated third party unless ( A ) such financial institution clearly and conspicuously discloses to the consumer, in writing or in electronic form or other form permitted by the regulations prescribed under section 6804 of this title, that such information may be disclosed to such third party ; ( B ) the consumer is given the opportunity, before the time that such information is initially disclosed, to direct that such information not be disclosed to such third party ; and ( C ) the consumer is given an explanation of how the consumer can exercise that nondisclosure option.

Product: Credit card or prepaid card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Fees or interest — Problem with fees
Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
My recent experience was just repugnant, unacceptable in paying off my balance. In XXXX, I paid off the remaining balance on my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX account ( XXXX ). In XXXX, I received a bill from XXXX  XXXX XXXX for XXXX dollar. I called and was told that there were interest rates carried over from two months ago, leaving a charge of XXXX dollar. Never in my 50 years dealing with banks and credit cards has a charge been issued after the balance was paid in full. 
On top of that, the way I was treated and hung up on by two different customer service agents was very disturbing. I do not know what your script is as a Comenity Bank card, Bread Financial, it was very distasteful, making me feel, I was abused for close to two hours and getting nowhere on the understanding of XXXX dollar interest rate ( fees charged ) was still on my bill after the pay-off. So, I investigated it. 
Yes, Comenity Bank charged me XXXX dollar for the missing interest, for which THEY did not calculate. Not only that, but they also did not even address it correctly. 
On my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX bill, XXXX dollar is added to the " Fees charged '' not the interest charged, with no explanation. 
( Fees charged XXXX XXXX charged XXXX ) The reason for this is Comenity Bank can charge you interest on that dollar if you do not pay it under Fees charged. 
If it were under the correct title, ( interest charged ) that dollar would just sit there forever because the financial institution can not charge you interest on interest ..... So, Comenity Bank not only charged me a dollar, but they can illegally keep charging me interest and late fees on top of that expensive dollar. 
This one-dollar issue needs the CFPB, as well as a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I am sure millions of others, have the same issue!!

Complaint narrative:
I received an email today in regards to my Lowes credit card dated XX/XX/23. The email I will be attaching states that my credit card will be closed with reasons which were included, none of these reasons apply to this specific store card. I have never used more than 30 % of my card and have always paid my card on time and feel Im being wrongfully targeted due to my ethnicity. And with these actions which will be detrimental to my credit during these very difficult times. For such a large company to move forward like this on XXXX customers is wrong and should be looked into when making one to feel like a 2nd class citizen.
