Issue: Trouble using your card

Subissue: Can't use card to make purchases

Consumer Complaint: I was trying to use my Express credit card on XX/XX/17 and it was declined. I was confused as to how that can be when it shows that I have available balance and wasn't past due on my payment. I contacted XXXX and the representatives referred me over to Comenity Bank, its financial servicer. The Comenity reps and supervisor advised me that there was an internal software glitch over the summer which still left accounts like mine to still have issues. Comenity told me that they will have to submit this issue over to its IT department and have them to correct my account. A couple of days passed by and I noticed on my current credit report that the XXXX account 's status was shown CLOSED. I immediately contacted XXXX and their chat representative indicated that it was indeed closed. I explained to the representative that I never requested for it to be closed and he referred me once again to Comenity Bank and I spoke with one of the supervisor 's named XXXX. He did see that I reached out to Comenity Bank on XX/XX/17 and he submitted a 2nd request form to the IT department. He said also will submit a form to have the credit tradeline to reflect that it should be opened. However, it didn't sit right with me that when I originally reached out to Comenity ( XXXX ) nothing has been resolved yet. So who's to say that they will resolve this the 2nd time?

Issue: Improper use of your report

Subissue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Consumer Complaint: When I pulled my credit report in XX/XX/2022, I noted that Comenity Bank had pulled a copy of my report. I sent them a letter requesting information about why they had pulled the report. I am a past victim of identity theft and found this to be the earliest warning sign that someone was using my financial information improperly. I wrote to the bank and it responded by saying that they had searched their records and found no business relationship with me and therefore would not have done so. I wrote back providing the bank with my social security number as well as the date that the report was pulled. They once again advised me that we had no business together and advised me to dispute this with the credit bureau. I am suspicious that they pulled my report for someone's fraudulent purpose. I want to know why the report was pulled and under which name. In the past my social security number was used with another name to fraudulently get credit. I am suspicious of that in this case. The first time that my credit was stolen I noted a similar action when my information was used to open an account with utility company. I am providing a copy of my credit report. Please refer to he section reporting soft enquiries as well as Comenity Bank 's responses.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account status incorrect

Consumer Complaint: I have an XXXX XXXX credit card through Commenity Bank. I am currently not using the card which carried a {$0.00} balance due for quite some time. Somewhere around XXXX an approx. {$2.00} -3 fee was added to the account that I wasn't aware of. I never received a statement for the amount apparently accrued late fees and eventually reported as more than 30 days late. I finally received a call from a representative about the charges. I told her that I was not aware. She, therefore, removed the two months of late fees and brought the account current. I have been working very diligently to pay al of my accounts on-time in effort to purchase a home. Although this may not have a major affect, I am requesting to have this late payment removed based on the information provided above.

Issue: Communication tactics

Subissue: Frequent or repeated calls

Consumer Complaint: Since sunday XX/XX/2023 commenity bank has called me XXXX times. Both from a blocked phone number and their actual phone number. It is absurd. They have violated regulation F, if memory serves me correct and are going against FDCPA guidelines. I understand i owe and i do plan on paying. At the moment it is a difficult situation we are working on getting out of. The calls arent necessary and excessive AND abusive. I feel harassed by them.
