Issue: Getting a credit card

Subissue: Problem getting a working replacement card

Consumer Complaint: In XXXX. of this yr I rec 'd a notice that a temporary hold had been placed against my credit card, the reason being, unusual activity. I contacted the company & notified them the activity was legitimate & requested the lift the hold. I was informed they would review the matter. I waited several days, but no response. Once again, I contacted them & was told the acc't was permanently closed. This time I was told they were unable to verify my identity & the account could not be reopened but I could apply for a new card, which I attempted to do numerous times. Each time I tried I was asked for my last 4 soc sec # 's.each & every time I was informed that I already had an acc't with a zero balance and was unable to apply for a new card. I've tried dozens of times and have spent hours of times on the phone with the bank & written several ltrs. In addition, I met with a representative of the company 4 times & she spent several hours on the phone with the bank attempting to help me, to no avail. I wrote one last ltr to the president of the bank hoping he would help to resolve this matter this matter. He never responded. The problem seems to be that although that acc't has been closed it still appears as an open account on their books. I would very much like to open a new acc't since I was a customer since XXXX with no issues to speak of.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed

Subissue: Debt is not yours

Consumer Complaint: For weeks they have been calling more than 10 times a day from different numbers most starting from XXXX to after XXXX central time. They leave several messages regarding the debt that I have no relation to. Some voice messages are automated and others are not. These calls have become so excessive to the point where it is truly disturbing me, especially when I am not the person they are looking for.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Information belongs to someone else

Consumer Complaint: To Whom It May Concern, It is a crime to threaten lawsuit with no intention of doing so, therefore you can take heed that I am very serious about filing suit against your company. I have sent 3 previous letters to you, all by certified mail ( receipts enclosed ) requesting that you remove inaccurate information from my file and you have failed to do so. Accordingly, I can show a judge that these accounts are inaccurate and that you violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act by ignoring my requests to investigate the items. My previous letters stated my reasons for an investigation and these reasons were not frivolous in any way. If this final request does not prompt you to conduct a proper investigation of these accounts in question, and send proof to me of said investigation, I will file a civil suit in my county for damages and you can travel to defend yourself. I take my credit very serious and your lack of professionalism and assistance disappoints me. I am well aware of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act and I intend to pursue them to the maximum. I await your response.

Issue: Problem when making payments

Subissue: Problem during payment process

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX, an unauthorized ACH payment for {$940.00} to Comenity Bank via automated phone system was made to my credit card account and cleared my checking account. I have never paid this account by phone and I did not make this payment. I have never set up any automatic or recurring payments. I have made all payments on time via the online portal, and the payment was not yet due ( due XX/XX/XXXX ). I contacted customer service. A dispute was initiated on the payment, but the payment was not refunded. While awaiting the dispute, a second unauthorized payment for {$1000.00} posted to my account on XX/XX/XXXX, again, made by phone from my checking account. I did not make or authorize this second payment. I contacted Comenity customer service again and was told that a request to refund the second payment and a dispute would be initiated. After receiving no follow up information, I called Comenity 's account protection number and was informed that a new card should be issued in case this was a fraud attempt. No refund of the unauthorized payments was made. Following this call, my account information was deleted/deactivated, so I now can not access my account information online. I believe that the account deletion happened to prevent me from obtaining documentation of these transaction through my account. These unauthorized payment have resulted in a negative bank account balance and may overdraft fees, with no resolution in sight. I am attaching one screen shot showing the second unauthorized payment scheduled on my now inaccessible Comenity account, and one screen shot of my conversation over the first charge with my bank.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem

Subissue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Consumer Complaint: The existence of a derogatory rating on my account is causing me significant concern. I am deeply worried about its potential impact on my credit. It has already resulted in the denial of a recent loan application and an increase in the interest rates on my existing credit accounts. I want to emphasize the severe financial and emotional distress that this negative rating has caused me and will continue to cause until it is resolved.
