Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account information incorrect

Consumer Complaint: I have made a significant payment toward my balance. It is now less than {$100.00}. It has been very hard for months to just pay my bill and now After 8 calls, a representative told me that they have an issue with the system and I'd have to ask a supervisor or someone of the sort to send a letter to the credit bureaus to force the update. I am trying to get this information properly updated so that my credit report will be accurate. I have attached a screenshot of what is reflected and the last time that they reported accurate information to the credit bureaus.

Issue: Fees or interest

Subissue: Problem with fees

Consumer Complaint: New Jersey law is as clear as day. Credit card companies are not allowed to have middle of the day deadlines to make payments. This and many other institutions have cutoff times of XXXX which clearly go against the states policy. Yet when confronted with it they give full of hot air XXXX answers. I paid my balance in full at XXXX which is after I got home from work. I informed them about the law and the basically scoff at it like Im a a moron. They hire people that dont understand or research the law. They dont have anyone intelligent get back to you. Ive been charged this fee at least 5 times. I do not care about their policy. New Jersey law is clear. I live on a budget with a XXXX XXXX. I pay my bills especially credit cards on the due date to make sure I have money for her needs. Im tired of this company and their ignorance. And yes after multiple attempts to make them understand I reacted less than acceptable.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account information incorrect

Consumer Complaint: Comenity Bank has not updated current credit balance and payments information since XX/XX/2022, and this is negatively impacting my credit reports and scores. They have also not provided the contracted rewards amounts on these cards since XX/XX/2022. I have asked the company to correct these issues. My email and their response is pasted below. The company claims that a " planned upgrade '', which was not announced in advance to its customers and prevented viewing of account information, ability to view and pay bills, and any contact with its representatives for several weeks, continues to impact their ability to provide current information to credit bureaus. I believe this is an unfair and possibly illegal business and credit reporting practice. My credit scores and utilization amounts have been negatively impacted for over three months.

Issue: Trouble using your card

Subissue: Can't use card to make purchases

Consumer Complaint: I got a text message on XX/XX/XXXX from the Comenity Fraud dept to verify a XXXX XXXX XXXX purchase for {$360.00}. I had not seen this text, but I did try to use the card earlier in the day and it was declined. Because I wasn't comfortable responding to the text that was sent to me, I tried calling the number on the back of the card, I was not able to get through and the call was disconnected. I tried many more times since XX/XX/XXXX and I still can not get through after waiting more than 20 minutes per call. I was able to go online and submit a help ticket/complaint, but I haven't gotten a response. I currently have a credit of {$520.00} on my card and at this point I just want to close the account and get my money back. Is this something you can help with?

Issue: Other features, terms, or problems

Subissue: Problem with rewards from credit card

Consumer Complaint: This complaint is an addendum to the complaint of XX/XX/22. Comenity Bank continues to fail to address my complaints. They have not reported by credit information to the credit bureaus for more than 45 days. Their rewards program continues to stay broken. Update : they have reduced my outstanding rewards by half. I continue to be unable to redeem any rewards. This bank is operating like a shoddy organization now going on 5 months. I don't understand how they can fail to address issues for actual MONTHS and get away with it. This bank is a failed bank. As of today I can not log in and I can not recover my login and create a new password. I am locked out of their website. Thank you XXXX XXXX
