Issue: Getting a credit card

Subissue: Card opened as result of identity theft or fraud

Consumer Complaint: A fraudulent account for the XXXX credit card was opened in my name using a previous address - one that has not been valid since 2017 - and my email address that was obtained in a data breach. I received email notification of the approval XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX XXXX and within minutes emails for purchases were also received. Some of the purchases were to be delivered to addresses in New York, New Jersey, and some were set to be picked up in-store in XXXX, Ohio. I called Comenity- the issuing bank - to talk to someone on their customer service line and was disconnected numerous times. When I did speak with someone, they were not helpful and did not understand when I said that the account was fraud. I followed up twice in writing, stating that my information was stolen and this account was opened as the result of identity theft. They followed up with a letter stating that their investigation shows that the address used is on my credit report, therefore it must be valid. They concluded that the account must be mine since they used a previous address and a stolen email. They refused to close the account or acknowledge that it is fraudulent.

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

Subissue: Investigation took more than 30 days

Consumer Complaint: Dear Sir or Madam, 1. Comenity BankXXXX Account Number : XXXX Please correct this inaccurate information on my credit report. I recently pulled my credit report from your Bureau and my attorneys and I had a chance to go over my credit report and in amazement, that you have decided to report me 30 days late on this account. I immediately disputed this information Comenity BankXXXX with and the results of the investigation came back " verified ''. Not only was I never late on this account, but according to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), the information furnisher is required to notify me of the insertion of negative listings. Since I have disputed the lates with the creditor, and you obviously " verified '' them, I am very curious as to what kinds of " records '' you may have for this alleged account. I am very confident that you are in violation of the ( FCRA ) and ( FCBA ) sections ( 1666, 1666a. 1666b., and 1666c. ) as stated below : 1666. Correction of billing errors ( b ) Billing error ( 4 ) The creditor 's failure to reflect properly on a statement, a payment made by the obligor or a credit issued to the obligor. ( 5 ) A computation error or similar error of an accounting nature of the creditor on a statement. ( 6 ) Failure to transmit the statement required under section 1637 ( b ) of this title to the last address of the obligor which has been disclosed to the creditor, unless that address was furnished less than twenty days before the end of the billing cycle for which the statement is required. ( 7 ) Any other error described in regulations of the Bureau. 1666a. Regulation of credit reports ( a ) Reports by creditor on obligor 's failure to pay amount regarded as billing error After receiving a notice from an obligor as provided in section 1666 ( a ) of this title, a creditor or his agent may not directly or indirectly threaten to report to any person adversely on the obligor 's credit rating or credit standing because of the obligor 's failure to pay the amount indicated by the obligor under section 1666 ( a ) ( 2 ) of this title, and such amount may not be reported as delinquent to any third party until the creditor has met the requirements of section 1666 of this title and has allowed the obligor the same number of days ( not less than ten ) thereafter to make payment as is provided under the credit agreement with the obligor for the payment of undisputed amounts. ( b ) Reports by creditor on delinquent amounts in dispute ; notification of obligor of parties notified of delinquency If a creditor receives a further written notice from an obligor that an amount is still in dispute within the time allowed for payment under subsection ( a ) of this section, a creditor may not report to any third party that the amount of the obligor is delinquent because the obligor has failed to pay an amount which he has indicated under section 1666 ( a ) ( 2 ) of this title, unless the creditor also reports that the amount is in dispute and, at the same time, notifies the obligor of the name and address of each party to whom the creditor is reporting information concerning the delinquency. ( c ) Reports by creditor of subsequent resolution of delinquent amounts A creditor shall report any subsequent resolution of any delinquencies reported pursuant to subsection ( b ) to the parties to whom such delinquencies were initially reported. 1666b. Timing of payments ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. Because I take my credit very seriously, I contacted every name and account that was listed on the report. I was again very shocked by the multiple names, account numbers and figures. Included with this letter, is every letter written to those who have hampered my ability to obtain credit. I believe that any judge that looks over the report would agree that it is a violation of both the FCRA, CCPA and FACTA. The following accounts were listed on your report and I have demanded from them a full accounting and five years worth of records to see if their accounts were in violation of the FAIR CREDIT BILLING ACT ( FCBA ). We also demanded signed contracts, agreements or any legal paperwork that would tie us to the following accounts. Under the FCRA, you are required to conduct an investigation on this account if I request it. I DEMAND to see all 100 % verifiable proof that I was indeed Verifiably late on these accounts and the creditor fulfilled its obligations under ( FCBA 1666 ( a ) ( 2 ) ), As I was never notified of a billing delinquency on my accounts, which the creditor must do under section ( FCBA1666 ( b ) ( 6 ). I DEMAND to see proof that I was mailed my statement to the correct address notifying me of both payment due date and delinquency of payment on the account. If you can not provide 100 % Verifiable proof and proper documentation that the CREDITOR fulfilled its obligations under the ( FCBA ) and ( FCRA ), I therefore demand these late payments be removed from my account or I will be forced to be in contact with the Attorney General of my State and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. I therefore am submitting my written request to you to conduct an investigation. Per the FCRA, you have 30 days to conduct this investigation and respond to my request. If you do not respond within this time period, per the FCRA, you must remove this negative information. Thank you for your time, : SS # : XXXX Date of Birth:XXXX XXXX : Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX Iowa XXXX

Issue: Getting a credit card

Subissue: Delay in processing application

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/2023, I received physical mail from " Comenity Bank '' located in XXXX, OH. The letter requested me to call this bank to finish processing my " THE SPORTMAN 'S GUIDE VISA credit card account application ''. I never applied for this credit card, have no affiliations with this bank, and don't even have an interest in hunting. I was a victim of identity theft involving significant circumstances within the past 5 years. I did not contact this bank due to the printed information ( physical address, number ) conflicting with online information. I have contact my identity theft monitoring service ( in place since my first theft ) to begin disputing this issue.

Issue: Fees or interest

Subissue: Problem with fees

Consumer Complaint: I closed my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX account & received a letter confirming it on XX/XX/XXXX. I had a balance from a purchase the month before, in the amount of {$110.00}. I paid it in full & on time. I placed another order with XXXX XXXX online in XXXX expecting to get a 25 % off discount. When completing my order, it did not apply to my balance. I immediatly called XXXX XXXX to see if they would adjust my order so it would apply the discount. They said they couldn't do that. I then asked them to cancel my order all together & again they said they couldn't. When I received the package, I returned the full order in the amount of {$150.00} back to XXXX XXXX. This gave me a credit of {$130.00} plus a charge of {$10.00} for a return fee on my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. This left me an unnecessary balance of {$33.00}. I contacted XXXX XXXX again to credit back those charges, since I tried canceling the order from the start. They only credited the {$10.00} for the return fee, which still left me a balance. During all this time, I was out of state and not able to keep up with my account as well as if I were home, so therefore, I had forgot to pay the final ( unnecessary ) payment of {$24.00}, which made it a day and a half late by calling to make the full payment of {$24.00} in XXXX. The XXXX statement showed a total balance of {$35.00} for a late fee. I called XXXX XXXX to request a credit of the late fee, so I would have a XXXX balance & be in good standing with them. I was told since I closed my account they couldn't do that. Again, I was still out of state and made the unnecessary {$35.00} payment by phone on the due date, but was again almost 2 hours being on time. The XXXX statement showed a late fee and balance of {$35.00} once again. Again I called XXXX XXXXe to credit this charge & again they said they couldn't since I closed my account. This really frustrated me since I had previously paid my full amount due, plus two late fees on top of that. With that, I decided to write a letter to Comenity Bank to see if they would resolve the late fees being charged each month with a paid in full balance from purchases. Meantime, I still did not pay anymore while waiting for a response back from them. I received a letter dated XX/XX/XXXX stating that they could charge me a late fee if the minimum amount was not paid by the due date and that I now owed an amount of {$110.00}. I have been an account holder with XXXX XXXX for several years now and each time I made a purchase, I paid the card in full & on time. Now they are billing me each month with a late fee and interest for late fee, except for the last statement I just received. It showed an interest charge on purchases ( my purchases are paid in full ) and a total balance of {$110.00} ( late fees & interest ). Please see if you can get the amount of {$110.00} off my account along with the bad credit report that was given to me for not paying late fees. Thank You
