Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I made a min balance payment on XX/XX/22. My billing cycle ends on XX/XX/22. I had a promotional balance that expired XXXX. I paid the full promotional balance on XX/XX/22 online. I called the company to ensure that the payment I made was applied directly to pay off the promotional balance on XX/XX/22 and not the minimum payment that was due on XX/XX/22. I asked the lady more than once did she apply the payment towards the promotional balance and she assured me that it was and the promotional balance is paid off. A month later they charged me accrued interest stating that I did not make the minimum payment for that month of {$35.00}. The call was recorded and the rep confirmed that my payment was applied to the promotional balance on XX/XX/22. I am requesting a full refund of the accrued interest charge of over {$500.00}. On XX/XX/22 I was on the phone for XXXX hours and spoke to several people and no one would correct their mistake. The interest charge did not show up until my XXXX payment. The recording clearly states where the payment was applied. These are deceptive, abusive, and unfair practices.

Within a week i get an email promoting me to give a call to a representative for no exclaimed reason. A few days later i get another email that headers notice of adverse action. in this letter it explains if i wanted an explanation as to why the account was adversely affected i would have to call in for an explanation. On XXXX I called into customer service for an explanation the representative explained she couldn't tell me why the card was blocked and that i would still have a hard inquiry on my credit report.
