Issue: Fees or interest

Subissue: Problem with fees

Consumer Complaint: Opened a XXXX XXXX with Comenity Bank on XXXX. Through a series of unfortunate events, I had to return my purchase twice for a replacement. When the third and final purchase was made, it was not charged as a promotional purchase as I originally agreed to. I tried resolving with Comenity, but they refused to work with me on the issue. That is not the issue that I am filing a complaint about. I made my first payment on XXXX, and a finance charge was billed on XXXX. I have no issue with that, as my bill was due on the XXXX of each month. I made a payment in full on XXXX, XXXX days before my due date, and it was accepted, and my account was requested to be closed on XXXX. Comenity confirmed the account as closed, and issued me a credit refund balance on XXXX for overpayment on the payment in full, and then charged a finance fee on XXXX, and a late fee on XXXX. I received an additional minimum interest charge on XXXX. I paid off the finance charge from XXXX, the late fee from XXXX, and the minimum interest charge from XXXX on XXXX. I then received ANOTHER minimum interest charge on XXXX on this account, which was supposed to be closed on XXXX per Comenity 's email to me. Why and How do i keep getting charges posted to my account when the account was supposed to be closed.

Issue: Getting a credit card

Subissue: Application denied

Consumer Complaint: I applied for a XXXX XXXX credit card at XXXX & XXXX XXXX XXXX. I normally do not apply for store credit cards as it means a credit pull and it impacts my score but I was buying a {$2000.00} card and the promo was that the purchase tax would be waived if I used XXXX. XXXX responded with I will be informed via mail within XXXX business days, which normally means a decline. I was shocked as my XXXX XXXX was XXXX. After more than two weeks I called customer service and I was sent around in circles with no answer but wait for the letter. I tried again after 3 weeks and I had the same problem. No one had the access to give me an answer and I was finally transferred a fourth time and the question was did you get a letter and I said No and I was cut off. Comenity Capital Bank which offers XXXX is breaking all the consumer regulations. My score dropped XXXX points because of the pull and I have XXXX added to XXXX pulls in 3 years which reduces my score and I have no reason for the decline. Thanks XXXX XXXX

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account status incorrect

Consumer Complaint: Went online in XX/XX/XXXX to shop on store website - then to check available credit line since I had not used that account > year. Immediately noticed balance. Attempted to review statements available but only statements available showed interest and past due fee each month. Contacted creditor by phone, English obviously was not primary language for rep. Explained had no knowledge of purchase that rep said had been made back in XXXX. Explained to rep that I had made no purchase on my card since XXXX of XXXX and had paid that off in full, had not received any statement showing balance due nor any notice that a payment was do. Req credit for debt while they provided me with proof of the charge and credit for all fees or finance charges assessed due to circumstances. Also req any removal of negative reporting to CB. Rep replied would be able to waive one fee as one time curtesy. Req his supervisor as this was not a curtesy req but a dispute of a charge. Was disconnected by agent. Since then have verbally chatted with them in regards to the matter and to re-iterate now that they have started collection actions against me in violation of my consumer rights that they must cease and desist calling my work phone number. To date, I now receive a monthly statement each month with an additional fee and finance charges, They have my work number on a dialer that plays a recorded message to call them, My credit report now reflects a seriously delinquent if no now charged off account which has impacted my credit score XXXX points already. My last chat conversation with the company informed I would contact CFBP if they could not take the corrective action requested. Still no response from XXXX, still continue to report inaccurate data, still continue to call my work number every day.

Issue: Problem when making payments

Subissue: Problem during payment process

Consumer Complaint: My problem is with Comenity, the company that offers the XXXX XXXX credit card XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX is the URL for XXXX XXXX credit card XXXX XXXX When a purchase is made, it is " interest free '', as long as the " plan '' for that purchase is paid off by a certain date. I have 2 such plans : One for the engagement ring I purchased for my fianc ( who, sadly, passed away at the end of XXXX ) and the other plan was for another ring I purchased for her. On XX/XX/2022, I made a {$120.00} payment on my account. There was nothing owed on the account at the time, so I know the payment would not have been applied to any outstanding fees or charges. I requested that the payment be applied to my plan XXXX ( the plan for the second ring I mentioned ), as my intent was to pay this plan off before XX/XX/2022, at which time interest will be charged for the plan. As of XX/XX/2022, the payment has not been applied to the requested plan, nor has the payment been applied to my account at all as far as I can tell from my account page. The prior balance on plan XXXX was {$200.00}, and the balance of that plan remains the same at this time, according to my account page. The total amount owed on my account ( {$1000.00} ) has not changed since making the payment either. It seems to me that their intent is to run out the clock on this plan ( probably both plans, but I wont know that until I start paying on the engagement ring ) so they can start charging interest on the unpaid balance. I have sent 2 messages to them through their Secure Message Center ( which I have used successfully several times in the past for other matters ), but neither message was sent due to technical difficulties. So, basically, they declined to accept my inquiry into this matter. The last message I sent stated that I would be filing a complaint with the FTC against them if I did not receive a satisfactory explanation from them before midnight last night. Again, they declined to accept the message, so I am left with no option other than to file a complaint. I would like a full accounting/audit of my account from them, as well as an audit of each plan individually, so I can examine their accounting and payment application practices, at which time I will make a decision about pursuing legal remedies. I appreciate your assistance in this matter.
