Subissue: Card was charged for something you did not purchase with the card

Consumer Complaint: I have a credit card with Comenity Caesars reward visa, I paid my monthly statement on XX/XX/22. on XX/XX/22 I noticed that XXXX was taken from my bank as a payment to said credit card. when I called, I was informed that a letter had been sent to me on XX/XX/22 ( 2days earlier ) ; and that I had agreed to pay XXXX, I have received no such letter or agreed to pay an amount that I do not have available at the bank, I had already made my monthly payment of XXXX on XX/XX/22 why would I make another payment the same month. they always say that the conversations are recorded, I have not been offered to listen to any conversation that I allegedly agreed to. I want this credit card company investigated ; I can not be the only one they have done this to especially around the XXXX. this is a total fraud.

Complaint ID: 6297405

Date Received: 2022-12-08

Issue: Other features, terms, or problems

Subissue: Other problem

Consumer Complaint: The IKEA Project credit card company refused to explain how they allocate my payments to the three promotional purchases outstanding which each have a different ending date on the promotional interest rates. I have three promotional purchase balances and one of which is set to expire on XX/XX/XXXX. After the expiration, that remaining balance will be charged interest. I am trying to avoid paying interest on that balance and have even sent in additional payments to be applied to that upcoming ending balance. The company when asked to explain how they determine how my payment of {$300.00} ( which is above the minimum due ) is applied to each balance, I am told they do not know how those are done and can not explain to me that I just have to keep making payments until the promotional balance is paid. I am not able to apply extra payments directly to a promotional balance. I have called many times and they are simply refusing to help or even give me guidance other than just to send extra payments in and then call in and request that money is applied, however the operators are not able to give an up to date remaining balance on accounts until the statement closes, so there is no way to know how much to allocate to each account. Today the company has disconnected my calls with them twice as I was trying to resolve this again. I call today, XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX cst for XXXX minutes and was disconnected, I called again on XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX and was disconnected after XXXX minutes on the line. I have not recieved a call back and I am still uncertain if any additional payments above the minimum due will be applied to the most current ending promotional balance. I should have control over applying payments to promotional balances especially those due to expire soon. My statements do not show the minimum due on each promotional balance, the statement just shows a minimum due on the account as a whole. There is not a way to understand how the company allocates the additional payments above the due amount to the remaining promotional balances. When calls are made to teh company to understand and clarify, the calls are meant with aggressive representative and calls are then disconnected purposely.

Issue: Threatened to contact someone or share information improperly

Subissue: Talked to a third-party about your debt

Consumer Complaint: Commenity Bank has contacted several individuals of my family, including extended family, in regards to credit card debt owed and on at least 3 occasions disclosed specific information in regards to the debt. On XX/XX/XXXX Commenity contacted my sister and gave her specific information on my debts owed and disclosed that there was a balance of {$4000.00}. It is believed that they were under the impression that it was my wife they were speaking to as they only used " XXXX '' and our last name. Regardless, my wife is not authorized for information on this account either. I am the sole owner of the debt. This is the second time Commenity has corresponded with my sister and has given specific information ; however, the first date was not documented by me personally but it is believed to be in the XXXX timeframe. They have also contacted my step father as well. Both of those individuals had disclosed balances and personal information in regards to my account.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account information incorrect

Consumer Complaint: Good Morning, I have a Caesars rewards Visa card with Comenity bank " The bank is a subsidiary of Bread Financial '' Customer Care Address. Comenity Bank XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX, OH XXXX I had a balance of XXXX on my card however, I've paid the entire balance as of XXXX XXXX That said, Comenity bank has not reported my credit since XX/XX/2022. I had several attempt to contact and ask them via phone why it wasn't reported but customer service always mentioned that they can't do anything about it. Following phone contacts with no results, I've sent messages to the customer service asking them to remove it but they responded back to me to call the customer service which was a loop of poor consumer relations and mishandling of the case. When I got a car loan in XX/XX/2022 this credit balance lowered my credit score and caused a higher interest rate. Fair credit reporting act 15 U.S.C. 1681-1681x clearly states that company should report credit in a timely manner. Appreciate your help on resolving this issue. Thank you, XXXX XXXX
