Complaint ID: 6672475

Date Received: 2023-03-09

Issue: Trouble using your card

Subissue: Can't use card to make purchases

Consumer Complaint: I recently opened this card. I had been making payments online and experiencing issues logging into their website. My XXXX payment was a few days late and the card company called me multiple times without leaving messages throughout the day. I was upset at the incessant calls with no urgency to leave me a message so I shot off the payment online and a message to their customer care on XX/XX/2023. I titled the message Stop Calling me and put in the body of the email that they should try to ensure that their payment systems online were more dependable. I never indicated that this was a cease and desist and I never would have sent the message at all if I had known that the company would take the extreme measures that they have and actually place this irremovable mark on my account without even confirming with me that was what I asked for. As a result, the company will not allow me to use the credit and will not remove the hold. They are not accepting responsibility for the rash decision that their employee made in assuming that I would want my entire account turned off by what I titled a quick email. I acknowledge that I was upset and should have refrained from sending the communication but the response from Comenity is far more irrational that my own irritated response. In fact, they want me to close the account and reapply which will adversely affect my credit score. This is unacceptable to me.

Issue: Fees or interest

Subissue: Problem with fees

Consumer Complaint: My XXXX XXXX card used to be with XXXX XXXX XXXX. Comenity Bank apparently bought my card and XXXX XXXX XXXX transferred my information to them. I never received a new credit card. I never received new statements until now. Comenity cancelled my AutoPay and caused my account to fall into delinquency. Comenity has charged me hundreds of interest and late fees. This is not right. I have paid my principal balance now that I managed to register for an online account.

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: Stopped by XXXX XXXX XX/XX/22 purchased a ring, opening up an account with Comenity Bank, was given 3 option to finance. I chose the 6mos same as cash option with the understanding that it was no cash as lobby as I pay it off within 6 months I won't have any interest. I received my card a month later and tried to set up an account online but couldn't, it didn't recognize my social security number so I figured I'd give it some time since I had 6 months anyway. Didn't have a phone for a few months but when I got one I received threatening phone calls from comenity bank reps. So, I look at my credit report and they gave marked me delinquent XX/XX/22, XX/XX/22, XX/XX/22 & XX/XX/22. That is not accurate and I would like that fixed and my late fees refunded. I pay my bills on time and don't appreciate this treatment.
