Issue: Fees or interest

Subissue: Problem with fees

Consumer Complaint: I made a {$170.00} purchase at an Ulta location. I thought that I paid with my card but a new card was setup in store and the charge placed on the new account. As I didnt remember this there was a delaying in paying for the charge. I called the customer service number and asked for the payoff amount on my account. This amount {$380.00} was setup over the phone to be paid that same day. This amount was now more than double my original purchase amount. When I got my next statement it showed additional interest was charged that was not included yet I had asked for a payoff amount during my call.

Issue: Written notification about debt

Subissue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

Consumer Complaint: Account is a mistake it self because its reporting inaccurate information. The following data is either inaccurate or missing : Date last verified, date open, date last reported, disputed status, last payment, stating a pass due on a collection account, stating open account while in collection and derogatory all at the same time. Previously, disputed account with bureaus and results came back with copy of bill statements. This does not correct the inaccuracies that account is reporting.

Complaint ID: 7171005

Date Received: 2023-06-26

Issue: Fees or interest

Subissue: Unexpected increase in interest rate

Consumer Complaint: The following is an amendment/added issue in connection with Complaint ID # XXXX, which I filed on XX/XX/2023. So please refer to that complaint in conjunction with the following : Since filing the complaint with CFPB, I recently received a new statement and the Comenity has not only refused to remove their erroneous {$31.00} but they have since added a {$30.00} fee on XX/XX/2023 as a " Late Fee '' and a {$2.00} fee as " Minimum Interest Charge ''. So the total they claim I now owe has risen to {$63.00}! Comenity 's original {$31.00} they deceptively applied to my account after I paid off my balance was deceptive, underhanded, illegitimate ( there was no balance after I made my last payment of {$1500.00} XXXX paid in XX/XX/2023 ; please see CFPB Complaint ID # XXXX for details/context ), and not only did they refuse to reverse the illegitimate and deceptively applied {$31.00} ( after I paid off my account ) but they are now compounding their error with additional deceptive fees/charges on top of the original deceptive amount and the balance they claim I owe will continue to compound and increase month after month. Their harassing calls/notifications have already started. The original amount of {$31.00} was illegitimate and any additional charges beyond that/because of it are equally illegitimate. This matter will worsen month after month if they are not investigated and ordered to fix this and deem my account closed as it was when I made my final payment of {$1500.00} ( which was the final balance at time on XX/XX/2023 ) in XXXX. Why are they allowed to do this and get away with this? When will CFPB investigate this and resolve this? Who is helping me as a consumer to hold this company accountable to such a despicable and deceptive practice and resolve the issue? This is starting to impact my health and well being. Please help. Please look into this. Their original claim that I owe {$31.00} is incorrect and every charge they add on top of it is also incorrect and baseless. With the latest statement, they now say I owe {$63.00}. Next month will more. XXXX after that, it will be more. Compounding every month. Please help me. Please stop them. Please resolve this issue. Please, please. I'm begging you, please step in. By the way, they've stopped giving me access to the electronic statements on my account online. So I'm basing this all on the hard copy statement I've received in the mail. I just can't share the electronic version with you because they have suspiciously removed my electronic statements from my online account. Respectfully, XXXX " XXXX '' XXXX XXXX XXXX

Issue: Problem when making payments

Subissue: Problem during payment process

Consumer Complaint: I opened the credit card and was told I could use the discount all day in store and online. That was not true. I then make payments through my online bill pay with my bank and they claim to have not received any payments. They started assessing late fees. I contacted the company and they said no payments received. I spoke to a rep and she told me to contact my bank and that I still needed to make payment. I contacted their XXXX XXXX department and spoke to someone and they confirmed that my account was closed without authorization as well as no payments being received. I had stop payments issued per my bank and paid the balance. They then cashed the check weeks later that they never received and issued a return fee for {$30.00}. Its unethical and needs to be removed. Attached is a statement from my bank showing the dates the payments went out. I contacted XXXX the second week of XXXX. They chased the payment after telling me they never received them and to issue stop payments or continue collecting fees
