Complaint narrative:
I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the unavailability of my credit data from your bureau. As a diligent consumer who consistently monitors their credit profile, I am troubled by the recent discovery that vital information seems to be missing from your records. Despite being proactive in managing my finances and ensuring timely payments on all accounts, I have encountered significant hurdles due to the absence of my credit data from your bureau. This has not only caused inconvenience but has also put me in a precarious position, especially concerning recent financial transactions and loan applications. I have made numerous attempts to address this issue through your customer service channels, but regrettably, the resolution process has been slow and ineffective. As a result, I find myself facing unnecessary challenges in accessing essential financial services and opportunities.

Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: NV

Complaint narrative:
I am filing a formal complaint against Comenity Bank for wrongfully reinstating a fraudulent charge of {$1800.00} from XXXX XXXX and falsely holding me responsible. 
I never authorized this charge, and I promptly reported it as fraud. 
XXXX initially removed the charge but later added it back without valid proof, claiming their investigation determined I was responsible. 
I have not received any valid authorization records ( such as a signed receipt, IP address, or any proof linking me to this transaction ). 
They are attempting to hold me liable for an unauthorized charge in direct violation of consumer protection laws. 
Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), Comenity Bank must provide documented proof that I personally authorized this transactionnot just a generic response claiming verification.

Since they have failed to do so, they are in violation of : 15 U.S. Code 1666 FCBA ( prohibiting creditors from charging a consumer for unauthorized transactions ).

15 U.S. Code 1681s-2 FCRA ( requiring accurate reporting and correction of errors ).

I am aware that you have acquired this alleged debt from XXXX Bank. However, I have no contractual agreement, either verbal or written, with XXXX XXXX XXXX. Therefore, I consider this debt to be null and void. 

Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1692g, I am requesting the following documentation to validate this alleged debt : A complete and detailed payment history for this account. This must include all payments, credits, and debits from the original date of the account 's inception with XXXX XXXX. 
A copy of the original signed contract bearing my signature that I allegedly entered into with XXXX XXXX. This is necessary to verify the legitimacy of the debt and my agreement to its terms. 
Confirmation of whether any insurance claims have been filed or paid regarding this debt. If such claims exist, please provide documentation. 
A complete chain of title demonstrating your legal right to collect on this debt. This must include documentation showing the transfer of the debt from XXXX XXXX  to XXXX XXXX XXXX. 
In addition to the debt validation requests outlined above, I demand that XXXX XXXX XXXX immediately cease reporting this account to all credit reporting agencies. Furthermore, should you be unable to validate this debt as requested, I demand that you immediately notify all credit reporting agencies to which you have reported this account and request that they delete all information related to this account from my credit reports. 

Please be advised that under 15 U.S.C. 1692g, if you fail to provide the requested validation within 30 days of receipt of this letter, you must cease all collection activities. Furthermore, the failure of a consumer to dispute the validity of a debt under this section may not be construed by any court as an admission of liability by the consumer.

Additionally, pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 1692c, this letter serves as formal notification that I refuse to pay this alleged debt and demand that you cease all further communication with me regarding this matter. 

Please provide all requested documentation to the address listed above.
