Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC.
State: WA

Complaint narrative:
Logged in to place a temporary thaw earlier in XX/XX/year>- this had no issue, nor any previous time logging in to temporarily thaw my credit. 

On XX/XX/year> I logged in and was shown that my account was suspended and I had to contact them through social media or a phone number. 

The phone number went to an off-shore call center where they asked for the entirety of my personal information including last XXXX of social and birthdate, and then they were able to remove the account suspension but could not give a clear reason for why my account was suspended. 

This seems like a major issue as not everyone will have luck contacting a company through XXXX formerly XXXX, and it doesn't really make sense for us to need to give some random, untraceable off-shore call center employee all of our sensitive personal data, just to reverse an arbitrary, undefined, unclear account suspension, in order to unfreeze credit.

Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: NV

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX i was charged a {$30.00} late fee, on XX/XX/XXXX i was charged a {$37.00} late fee, on XX/XX/XXXX i was charged a {$37.00} and XX/XX/XXXX i was charged {$37.00} late fee. I noticed that each month Alphaeon always has something wrong with the payment website. Several times I logged on to make my payment as agreed in contract but my account would be disabled/locked and unable to log into. 

Alphaeon, comenity bank has charged me {$140.00} in late fees even when my monthly payments were not late. 

15 USC 1666b- timing of payments state that a creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637B of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer no later than 21 days before the payment due date.

This creditor Alphaeon is in violation of 15 USC 1666B by considering my payments late and automatically charging me late fees for payments that LEGALLY WERE NOT LATE. I demand this creditor to prove they have reasonable procedures designed to ensure that my periodic statement was mailed or delivered to me no later than 21 days before the due date for each date of payments they considered late and charged fees on. 

I have not received my periodic statement 21 days before the due date on a monthly basis yet this creditor still automatically charges me late fees, which is in violation of my rights under the FCRA.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I recently received a call from someone claiming to be from Bank of America informing me that a person tried to open a credit card account using my Social Security number in the state of Texas. I was told, based upon their conversation with me, the attempt would be blocked. They then provided me with a XXXX Case number and I was transferred to a CFPB Agent. 

The CFPB Agent identified himself as XXXX XXXX and said, in case we were disconnected, that he could be reached at XXXX ext XXXX. 

He then went on to list my credit card accounts, their balances, and told me the interest rate I was being charged by the credit card companies was illegal ( too high ). He told me the " Prime Rate '' for credit card debt for senior citizens was 6.3 %. He also told me that he could cancel 70 % of my credit card debt and that I would not receive any bills for the remaining 30 % of my debt for 12 months. At which time, I would start receiving bills to pay off the remainder of my balance at 0 % interest. The catch was that all of my credit cards, with 1 exception, would be cancelled. 

This sounded very suspicious and also concerned me that he had so much of my credit information. 

Can you tell me if this XXXX XXXX is actually a CFPB Agent? And, if so, would he be able to do what I described above?

State: TX

Complaint narrative:
As outlined in Section 621 ( a ) ( 5 ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), you are required to investigate any disputed information within 30 days of receiving a dispute notice. This includes entering a notice of dispute on my credit report. To date, I have not received any communication regarding the investigation of this dispute, nor has a notice of dispute been placed on my credit report for the account XXXX XXXX  XXXX. Given your failure to comply with FCRA regulations by not investigating the disputed information and entering a notice of dispute, I demand the immediate removal of the accounts outlined in the dispute letter sent XX/XX/2024 ( attached ). Furthermore, the disputed accounts were never verified. XXXX is reporting 2 late payments while Transunion states that no payment history is available. XXXX has removed this account. If I do not receive confirmation of the account 's removal, I will be forced to pursue further action, which may include filing a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) and considering legal options. I have attached a copy of my credit report clearly showing the absence of a dispute notice for the accounts and the dispute letter, which is dated, and time stamped.
