Subissue: Other problem

Consumer Complaint: I placed an order on XX/XX/2022 for XXXX in which the credit numbers did not match so they were issuing a new card. But they put this charge on old account ending in XXXX. I then returned some items and paid the remaining balance. However these transactions went against the new account, ending in XXXX. Now I am receiving a bill for the account ending in XXXX which comenity bank claims does not exist. I have had multiple trouble tickets opened since XXXX and have spoken to numerous customer reps and supervisors. Every month I receive a new bill for XXXX plus my new account ending XXXX. I believe this all occurred during a major software update and I keep telling them that this has to go to the computer division to look into their old files and remove this account. I have all dates, names and bills

Subissue: Other problem

Consumer Complaint: I never opened this card, it was fraud, along with another XXXX. This is the only card I have contacted numerous times I called them and they have had excuses but it has never been deleted as promised. In XXXX I believe I spoke to XXXX, he took the initial report and said it'd be fixed right away. Nothing was fixed, so I filed with XXXX, twice and they still didn't fix it. I called back again in XXXX and spoke to a XXXX again in the fraud department, who stated that it had been marked wrong and that he would fix it and it would be deleted, I also spoke with a supervisor named XXXX who also promised it was corrected. Today I got a call from them first time since XXXX, to tell me I was behind in payments, I told her the story again and they switched me over again to the fraud department, who NEVER answers when you call them, I was on hold for over XXXX minutes and no answer. I have been fighting them to delete this for well over 9 months now and they haven't fixed it still!! It is still on my credit report and I never opened this card. Comenity Bank Ulta XXXX XXXX

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement

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

Consumer Complaint: The retail associate from Victoria Secret opened a credit card under my information without properly explaining the entire details. It was projected as a " rewards card '', I was never told that it was a credit card. Few months later I started getting bills for transactions I did not make. I called the company to help me, they never really resolved it,. I recently just checked with my XXXX report and there are anomalies like payments made which I never did. I did not even know the card existed in the first place. So now its a whole mess and I need this taken out of my report for it is affecting my history.

Issue: Getting a credit card

Subissue: Problem getting a working replacement card

Consumer Complaint: I have had a credit card ( XXXX XXXX XXXX Account ) that was associated with XXXX XXXX XXXX. The card was apparently sold to Comenity ( according to email I received ). I never received the replacement card and I saw my credit score drop by over 70 points. I eventually got a credit card statement from Comenity ( with a positive balance of ~ {$100.00} ), which included a phone number to call. I called them three times to tell them that I never received the credit card. On the third call, I told them that the card must be lost in the mail and that they should issue a replacement and XXXX it to me. Comenity agreed and told me I would get the replacement in 3-5 days. Well, it did not arrive in that time period, so I called the company again today about the missing card, and they once again said to just wait for it to arrive. I never wanted to business with this company, and I certainly did not agree to a new credit card ( as I did not want my credit score to go down ). I want to cancel this card entirely now, but I don't want my credit score dinged again. What are my options?

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed

Subissue: Debt is not yours

Consumer Complaint: I declare under penalty of perjury ( under the laws of the United States, if executed outside of the United States ) that the foregoing is true and correct to the best of my knowledge. Further, I certify that I am permitted by FEDERAL and STATE LAW to file this dispute. I also understand that knowing and willful misstatements or omissions of material facts constitutes a FEDERAL CRIMINAL VIOLATION punishable under 18 U.S.C. 1001. Additionally, these misstatements are punishable as perjury under 18 U.S.C. 1621. This item found within my credit report is not related to any transaction that I made. I am alleging that a person or company- without my authorization- used my personal identifying information to apply for goods, services, or money ; and was successful in creating this account. This debt collector is in violation for putting this unknown account on my credit report. This has caused me to suffer and its defamation of my character.

Issue: Improper use of your report

Subissue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

Consumer Complaint: I received a notice from a bank called Comenity Bank stating that I applied for a credit card. I have not done any applications with this bank nor heard anything about the bank. The letter states that I did an online application with that bank. The letter was dated was XX/XX/2022. It states that I applied for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I called the bank and they stated that they would delete the application. I do see a hard inquiry on my credit report that I need to be cleared. This is a fraudulent request and the bank agrees with that fact.
