Issue: Problem when making payments

Subissue: Problem during payment process

Consumer Complaint: XXXX XXXX XXXX website has been down for months, therefore you can not see your account ( i.e. transactions, applied payments, balances, etc. ) Forgot password method does not work and customer services response is always, We are experiencing trouble with the site. This has been the case for months. I asked for a mailed statement and there was one sheet of paper in envelope that was mailed, with no statement. I have no clue if something shady is going on with my account because I can not see it. Looking at reviews other customers are having same issue with payments not being applied. So far, I have been paying by phone which Im assuming it is being applied. Please help! This is ridiculous.

Issue: Written notification about debt

Subissue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

Consumer Complaint: RE : State, ex Rel. Attorney General as Notice of Rescission of Signature for Cease and Desist caused by Predatory Debt Collection Operation, I am writing to shed light on a company that I feel is operating unfairly. I see this as unfair and it appears deceptive. I feel I was targeted for unauthorized use of my signature caused by making false and misleading representations due to engaging in various XXXX and unfair practices. I am able to fight this but what about the elderly and the infirm who depend on these products or services and are taken advantage of by this type of financing for alleged debts. I do think this is an unfair practice for all consumers. This builds distrust. I will never do business with this dishonorable company again as I feel they failed to provide validation of debts, proof for legally binding signature as a valid contract, and lack of due process as adequate notification of contract changes. This pattern of dishonest practice acts, although maybe legal, is not fair. Please take a look at this companys practices as adverse actions. Please feel free to forward and share this deprivation of rights complaint with the Office of the Comptroller of Currency for full-scale and complete intensive investigations. Best regards, I remain

Issue: Problem when making payments

Subissue: Problem during payment process

Consumer Complaint: I have used the Commenity XXXX for about a year making small business charges. Never had a problem, paid my bill in full every month. Last month, paid my XX/XX/XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX and it did not get posted for 16 days so I got socked with a late fee and interest. Complained to company, they waived the late fee but not interest. I again paid the balance in full when I got XXXX bill on XX/XX/XXXX, sent payment on XX/XX/XXXX to avoid this happening again ( thought it could be due to holiday mail rush or something ) My due date is tomorrow and again ( after 13 days ) they have not posted my check. I contacted them through their messaging center, they are blaming the mail. I think they are trying to make money off people that pay their bill in full by making sure they get interest/late fees charged. I can not pay this bill by phone as they pushed me to do as it is paid through our business and I am not authorized to give out our banking info. I checked Commenity 's reviews on XXXX website, they have a one star rating and it sounds like they pull this stuff a lot. One month, I can understand but now is becoming a pattern. My other credit cards post in XXXX days so they don't seem to have a problem with the mail. I'm not using this card anymore but I really don't want to ruin my credit because of them.

Issue: Fees or interest

Subissue: Problem with fees

Consumer Complaint: I paid off this credit card and it had a XXXX balance on the card- the company has continued to charge interest and late fees even though the card was at a XXXX balance - the company has since charged off the card and affected my credit. There should not have been a balance on this card as it was paid off to a XXXX balance. The company has not sent me any statements and has locked me out of the account. I want the company to remove this negative remark from my credit report and write off the balance as this is not something that is owed.
