Issue: Closing your account

Subissue: Can't close your account

Consumer Complaint: I have a XXXX branded credit card with Comenity ( Bread XXXX ). For almost XXXX weeks now, you can not login and can not call them to make payments. Sometimes their easy pay system works to pay bills, which I think I did successfully. My issue now is that I can't call to cancel the card. They hang up the phones instantly. Their XXXX support says to call but it does not work. Many can not use their cards or even report a stolen card or fraud. This company has been extremely negligent and poses a huge security concern to many Americans. They need to be investigated.

Issue: Problem when making payments

Subissue: You never received your bill or did not know a payment was due

Consumer Complaint: For some time I have wanted to pay the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( Comenity Bank XXXX for several reasons : XXXX ) Difficulty paying online from my bank XXXX ) Harassment by constant calls XXXX ) Very high interest rates and charges. On XX/XX/XXXX, I called the telephone system and was informed that my total debt was {$120.00} and I decided to pay it all to get out of this XXXX Last week I received an account statement with a debt of {$44.00} and when I call on Sunday, XX/XX/XXXX, the system informs me that it was {$85.00} ( XXXX and XXXX ). The court date told me that it was XX/XX/XXXX, so I don't understand why they don't check the debt data until that day, nor considering that I haven't used the XXXX in a long time. The payment date was the XXXX, because it was difficult to achieve, since you have to have about 30 minutes to pay, it was not the only date that I had to pay late. The amount of the charges that they included is greater than the minimum payment of the XXXX, so that way they have been charging money to my Card without my knowledge or authorization. For my purposes, pay the entire debt on XX/XX/XXXX. I received constant calls from Comenity Bank, at different times and several times a day, which I assumed was to offer me another XXXX. Normally, I don't receive calls that they don't have on record, so I don't receive them. The only way I could find out about the unauthorized charges to my XXXX was a delayed account statement until last week, otherwise they would continue charging their services, that is why I am making this complaint, because I want my balance to be cleared like I left on XX/XX/XXXX and not knowing more about Comenity Bank. In the same way, I hope that this does not affect my credit history, since I am a very responsible person since I have 3 additional XXXX that I use responsibly.

Issue: Fees or interest

Subissue: Problem with fees

Consumer Complaint: This is in regards to a Victoria 's Secret/Commenity Bank Card that was paid in full ( {$430.00} ) & closed with a XXXX Balance on XX/XX/XXXX. Two months later I was charged {$4.00} interest on XX/XX/XXXX, which, I disputed and they told me I had to pay it because it was leftover interest. So, I paid it and still confirmed that the account was still closed and it would not incur any more charges. Again, two months later I was charged {$29.00} interest on XX/XX/XXXX. Now I am getting completely annoyed. I called in to customer service again and was told it was required and that once it was paid it would completely settle the account. I reluctantly paid it again, and, again, confirmed that the account was closed and would not incur anymore charges. He we are again, 2 months later, and I receive a bill of {$8.00} of interest. I have been trying to call commenity bank and they have a recording of phone systems being down. I was also enrolled in XXXX XXXXXXXX without my knowledge. This is extremely frustrating and unprofessional. They are fraudulently charging me as a punishment for paying my account in full and closing my account on XX/XX/XXXX. I have screenshots of my payments and have proof that I have closed the account. I am tired of them taking advantage of a consumer like me with no reason other than to try to milk me for more money after closing my account. Any assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Issue: Problem when making payments

Subissue: Problem during payment process

Consumer Complaint: Comenity bank holds the balance on my Wayfair card. I have XXXX access to my account. When I log in, it incorrectly tells me my account is closed. The customer service agent stated that my account was recently moved to XXXX ( it was not moved to XXXX, I never opted to take a new Wayfair account with XXXX when they took over ) So I once again had to take another hour to sit on hold hoping someone would answer their phone. They dont respond to messages, the customer service number is a joke. Ive sat on hold for hours only to be disconnected, played a message that their updated system is having issues or somebody answers and does NOT help or even speak English close enough to understand. They ban access to make a payment online or on the automated number and then have the nerve to charge {$9.00} for one of their customer service agents to make a payment for me from my checking account. My payment was due earlier in the month and there is no way to receive help on this matter. I have never missed a payment or been late with a payment. Im concerned they will be reporting me as late to the credit bureaus and charging more late fees and interest.
