    <title>topic Bread Credit Freeze in Credit Card Applications</title>

    <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi everyone!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp; I recently ran throught the few pre-qualify options that Bread/Comenity offers, i.e. Dell, Burlington, Michaels, and each one gave me an offer, but when I accepted the offer and completed the application, I received a message to call. The 1st time I called they said my Innovis report was frozen, so I thawed it and called back, then they said my Sagestream report was frozen, so I thawed it along with Lexis, and called again, and they said it was still showing a credit freeze.&amp;nbsp; I called everyone back and they all assured me the reports were thawed, so, I called one last time and they said the freeze was still in place.&amp;nbsp; I assured them I called the secondaries and unfroze the 3 primaries online, but they still insist they can't process my apps because of credit freezes.&amp;nbsp; I'm probably better off without those cards anyway, but it sure is frustrating.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;It's better to not saddle yourself with slow growing, low limit Comenity store cards. I have one account with them, IKEA, and it's taken years to get it up to a functional limit.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
