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: I am deeply concerned about the derogatory rating attached to the account that is being reported. This situation is troubling as it has already had adverse effects on my credit. I recently experienced a loan denial, and my existing credit accounts have also seen an increase in interest rates. It is important to highlight that this negative rating has resulted in significant financial distress for me, and if left unresolved, it will continue to affect me both financially and emotionally.

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

Subissue: Problem with personal statement of dispute

Consumer Complaint: I had a single 30 day missed payment that is reported on my credit report. It is the only missed payment in my entire credit history. I was homeless, didnt have a job and received no unemployment for 8 months until XX/XX/2021 due to XXXX. I also had my card stolen that was linked to my payments and therefore reported it to my bank and the payment to the creditor did not go through. I did not receive any communication from the creditor, and immediately paid the missed payment and explained my situation. It was due to a natural disaster ( Covid ) and I have asked for it to be removed from my credit report several times. I have explained my situation every time and have never missed another payment or any payment previous to that single payment. This is a life changing removal from my credit report and they simply do not care. This should be illegal. It was during the pandemic and it was one payment that I immediately rectified as soon as I received my new card.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement

Subissue: Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement

Consumer Complaint: The following issues I am having has been as a result of a take over by Comenity Bank of my XXXX Signature Credit Card originally issued by XXXX XXXX XXXX. This takeover happened during XX/XX/XXXX where Comenity issued new credit card numbers to all its members. Around the same time, I was considering the purchase of a car by XXXX. There were two ( 2 ) separate charges on XX/XX/XXXX for {$1000.00} and {$8200.00} by XXXX charged to my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Visa Credit Card ending in XXXX. I did not purchase the car, nor was it ever removed from the dealership lot. The vendor proceeded to process a refund however because the credit card number had changed the refund was not successfully processed. The dealership suggested I contact the Credit Card company to file a dispute. Once I learned Comenity had taken over the credit card, I opened a dispute on XX/XX/XXXX with Comenity for the charges to my XXXX Credit Card by XXXX for the purchase of a vehicle. This dispute was filed within 90 days of the credit charge. And without notifying me of the status of my dispute, Comenity closed my inquiry without further notice. This was a violation of my rights to have a claim properly investigated. I re-opened the dispute again in XX/XX/XXXX ( letter attached ) which indicated they would investigate the dispute. I told them the vendor XXXX requested a new account number be provided directly to them so that they can refund the money directly to the credit card issuer as opposed to sending it to me in the form of a check. They opted for this manner of returning the money because it protected them from any claims by the credit card issued for any unlawful actions on their part. The attorney for the vendor ( XXXX ) indicated they had not heard from Comenity as of XX/XX/XXXX. I received correspondence from Comenity dated XX/XX/XXXX indicating they were unable to locate information regarding my purchase and for me to contact the Service Provider directly. This letter comes despite the multiple calls I made with Comenity on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and then on XX/XX/XXXX to have my issue escalated to Comenity 's Global Disputes team ( XXXX ). On each call I was told no update was available, and I reiterated the vendor is requesting to have the card issuer provide an updated account number to return the money since the original credit card number had changed from XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX to Comenity

Issue: Closing your account

Subissue: Can't close your account

Consumer Complaint: I took out a XXXX 's card and set up automatic payments. The payments didn't go through and I never got an email or letter telling me until after I got a late charge. When I called, I gave them the exact same bank account information I had entered for the auto-payment to process the payment over the phone with the late fee and it went through just fine. The person on the phone said she couldn't find any reason in the system why my auto-payment didn't go through and that the account info matched, so she wasn't sure what the problem was, but that I was responsible for the late fee even though it wasn't my fault. I had enough money to cover the payment in my checking account, so that wasn't the issue with why it wouldn't go through. I then told her to cancel the card because I wasn't going to deal with this headache every month and the person on the phone said she cancelled the card. This morning, I got an email telling me that I had a payment due on this card. I looked and there was a {$2.00} interest fee. I just called them again and was told that as soon as I paid the {$2.00} my card was slated to be cancelled in the system. This feels like extortion. How many times do I have to cancel this card before they will actually let me?! She said she would reverse the {$2.00} fee and the card would cancel, but I have very little faith that this will actually happen. I am wondering what my recourse is if they try to charge me a {$30.00} late fee on top of a {$2.00} interest fee? I do not understand how it is legal for credit cards to take advantage of people like this. I will never get a credit card through Comenity again, and as soon as I can pay off the other ones that go through their service, I will be cancelling those, if they'll even let me.

Issue: Communication tactics

Subissue: Used obscene, profane, or other abusive language

Consumer Complaint: On XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX called and threatened to sue me for a debt that should have already been paid. When speaking with the manager I asked for a letter of debt validation and he proceeded to tell me that he did not have to provide that as this was my debt and I owed the money. I asked again and he started yelling and screaming at me that they have sent multiple letters and he didnt have to send anything else. I explained that I have not received any correspondence from them. After he continued to yell, scream and threaten to sue me I eventually just had to hang up because he would not listen to me.
