Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: MD

Complaint narrative:
I called and spoke to a representative at Comenity Capital Bank/Alphaeon Credit on numerous occasions to update my balance to ALL 3 Credit Bureaus , which should be {$0.00}. I paid this credit card account off on XX/XX/2023. This creditor refuses to report my updated {$0.00} balance and as of XX/XX/2023, all 3 credit bureaus are still showing that I have a balance of {$2300.00}. 

This has caused my credit score to remain stagnant and my utilization percentage to reflect more negatively. This also causes me to not qualify for a fair percentage rate when buying a home or vehicle. 

This creditor needs to immediately update my balance with ALL 3 credit bureaus to reflect a {$0.00} balance with ALL 3 credit bureaus. I also need this creditor to have ALL 3 bureaus reflect that this account was paid off in XX/XX/2023 and not the date of correction.

Complaint narrative:
Equifax Information Services LLC XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, GA XXXX Subject : Request for Inquiry Removal Due to Unauthorized Access and Fraudulent Activity Dear Equifax Customer Service , I am writing to address certain inquiries on my credit report that I have neither initiated nor authorized. Upon reviewing my credit report, I identified the following unauthorized inquiries : - XXXX XXXX  on XX/XX/XXXX - XXXX XXXX  on XX/XX/XXXX - DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION on XX/XX/XXXX I believe that these inquiries are fraudulent. Unfortunately, my device was stolen recently, which has led me to suspect that I am a victim of identity theft and fraud. 

In light of this, I wish to bring to your attention the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681, which stipulates my rights to dispute incomplete or inaccurate information. Under this Act, consumer reporting agencies are required to correct or delete inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable information. Moreover, given that these inquiries have the potential to adversely affect my credit standing, it's crucial they be addressed promptly to protect my financial health and well-being. 

Therefore, I kindly request : 1. A thorough investigation of the above-mentioned unauthorized inquiries.

2. The immediate removal of these inquiries from my credit report.

3. Written confirmation once these inquiries have been removed.

4. Advice on additional steps I should take to ensure my personal and financial information remains secure, in accordance with federal and state consumer protection laws.

For your convenience, I have enclosed a copy of the sections of my credit report that display these unauthorized inquiries. I stand ready to provide any additional documentation needed to expedite this process. 

I earnestly urge you to treat this matter with the urgency and gravity it demands. My financial reputation and personal identity security are at stake, and I anticipate a resolution in alignment with the timeframe and guidelines set by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 


Thank you for your prompt attention to this serious matter. 

Sincerely,
