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 XXXX that this negative rating has caused me and will continue to cause until it is resolved.

Issue: Fees or interest

Subissue: Problem with fees

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/2022 I sent Comenity a payment of {$99.00} towards my XXXX XXXX via my bill payment service. Comenity never cashed the check nor credited it to my account. On XX/XX/XXXX I noticed this and called Comenity to notify them that they had lost my payment, see if I should send a replacement payment, and ask for the late fee to be removed. The Comenity representative that I spoke to said that I should resend the payment. When I expressed concern about the payment arriving in time, Comenity stated that they would put a note in my account that a replacement was being sent and I would not be charged a late fee. When I asked for the late fee to be removed, the representative said they were unable to do so until Comenity had done an investigation. I asked about late fees for that and Comenity stated that I would not be charged late fees during the investigation. XX/XX/XXXX, my XXXX XXXX service mailed the replacement payment. I also stop using the card until I can decide whether or not to close it. XX/XX/XXXX, I realize Comenity has never contacted me about their investigation. I call to find the status of the investigation to find that Comenity has closed the investigation without making any attempt to communicate with me, while stacking multiple late fees despite explicitly stating to me they would not do so. Comenity refuses to tell me what they were investigating, why they never contacted me and also refuses to remove the late fees. After repeated protests Comenity tells me to send documentation of the payment through their web portal. I do so. Following this Comenity spends weeks refusing to answer questions, making factual errors, and requesting that I send additional account information even though I am using Comenitys secure messaging center. I am also told to contact various other departments by phone, who also refuse to help. This continues until I receive mail stating my account was closed. When I ask Comenity why my account is closed, Comenity removes my access to the messaging system and my account records. This brings us to the present day. Comenity flaws that are not specifically relevant to this complaint : Comenity takes forever to process payments. Of the last five payments I sent, Comenity took 12 days, 19 days, 11 days, 10 days, and 13 days to credit my account. Other physical checks sent by my bill payment service are being cashed within 4 days of mailing. Comenity pushing customers to use a web portal and then shutting off access seems like an intentional attempt to deprive customers of their own account information. Comenity was sending a monthly email notification of statement availability but stopped for no apparent reason in XX/XX/2022. Comenity sent a document stating that my account had been closed at my request. I did not at any time request my account be closed. When I sent a message via Comenitys secure messaging center asking why my account had been closed, Comenity made a reply, triggering a notification, and then turned off my access to so I am unable to read the message.

Issue: Fees or interest

Subissue: Problem with fees

Consumer Complaint: I have 2 different comenity accounts, one for Big Lots and my newest one through XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX When I got my first bill for big lots 8 months ago, they did not cash my check for weeks thereby marking it late and assessing me fees that I should have not accrued. I called the company and they finally removed the fees and I haven't had a problem since with them. I got my first bill from XXXX & XXXX last month and sent my check even earlier, knowing what happened with Comenity last time and now, almost 3 weeks later, I get another bill with {$86.00} in fees for a bill I was paying off in full. They have not cashed my check and I just had to put a stop payment on it. The bank shows it was sent out in time to be received and processed. This time, they will not do away with the fees. Short of me driving across the country to hand deliver this check, I'm at the mercy of the bank, post office and comenity to guarantee it gets there and on time. I find it far too coincidental that in 8 months with 100 % of my comenity accounts, the same trick has been played. They haven't had difficulty in receiving my other payments and nothing has changed.

Issue: Fees or interest

Subissue: Problem with fees

Consumer Complaint: In XX/XX/2023 I paid my credit card balance to XXXX XXXX in full. This isnt the first time they pull this. I received a notice from XXXX XXXX that the reported I was delinquent. When I called them they said a XXXX charge hit the account shortly after I paid in full despite me having called them and now Im two payments behind of XXXX each which are late fees attached to the XXXX fee that hit. I called them when I paid to make sure it was all caught up. This is a shady practice by cards that do this when you arent paying attention. I wont pay them because I made sure I wouldnt get charged again as they had done in the past. And here we are. They did it again
