Consumer Complaint: Summary of Events Comenity XX/XX/XXXX : I spoke to a Resolution Specialist named XXXX, ID XXXX, regarding my account and the 60 days late payment. I explained that because of COVID my income took a hit when my finance lost his job. I was told that after making my account current the two payments reporting late for the months of XXXX and XXXX would be updated and reflect as current on my credit report. I paid {$120.00} by phone to get my account current. She also suggested that I contact the company 's Credit Reporting department and make them aware of the situation. XX/XX/XXXX : I wrote a letter to the Comnenity 's credit reporting department letting them know about the situation. XX/XX/XXXX : Comnenity responded that they will not make any adjustments to my payment history. XX/XX/XXXX : I sent a formal dispute letter to Comnenity Bank asking them to remove the derogatory comments on my XXXX and XXXX file regarding the two late payments. I also asked them to remove the two late payments showing on my XXXX file. I also included the HERO Act bill that suspends negative credit reporting during the COVID 19 pandemic, explaining to them that they were acting unlawfully by reporting negative information. XX/XX/XXXX : I sent formal dispute letter to XXXX as well stating the same information in regards to the HERO Act. XX/XX/XXXX : Comenity updated my XXXX credit report and it now shows that my account status is current. However, this was never the problem. I asked that the two late payments be removed. They are still showing on the credit report and have caused my credit score to drop. They have also caused another bank ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) to close one of my credit cards which has inadvertently hurt my score. XX/XX/XXXX : Instead of updating the comment section ONLY to show good standing in payments on my behalf, Comenity updated my XXXX and XXXX credit report to show late payments for the months of XXXX and XXXX. ( Before the month of XXXX and XXXX were blank ). This has not helped my credit it has hurt my score even more.

Consumer Complaint: My name is XXXX XXXX, and I am sending this request myself to address the inaccuracies on my Credit Reports. I have been patiently waiting on their response about the written requests I sent. However, any modes of response or coordination were not taken on their end. They have not complied with the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 USC Sections 1681i within the time allowed by law and continued reporting as unverified information which now, given all my attempts to address it directly with the creditor, as willful negligence and non-compliance with federal statutes. Below are the lists of the erroneous accounts reporting on my Credit Report : XXXX XXXX Balance : {$0.00} Date opened : XX/XX/2015 ; XXXX XXXX Balance {$0.00} Date opened : XX/XX/2015 ;

Issue: Closing your account
Subissue: Company closed your account
Consumer Complaint: My name is XXXX XXXX and I had been a Commenity Bank credit card holder for over 6 years. In XXXX and XXXX of XXXX Comenity Bank decided to close both my Lane Bryant and XXXX XXXX. I was told that the account were closed due to some negative information on my credit report. I found this out after I was trying to purchase items to buy in the store. I called customer service and they said that there were negative items that were on my credit report and they decided to part ways and shut down my accounts after 6 years of on time payment history. I was never late and always paid on time. I was entirely shocked and couldn't believe it at all. So I contact the credit bureaus and the items that were negative were not mines. These accounts were opened without my authorization. So I disputed the items as fraud I had to go and get a police report and FTC Affidavit and I forwarded these items to the credit bureaus and within a month or so the items were removed due to identity fraud. So having this new information I then mailed all these documents to commenity to show them that my accounts should be reopened as those negative items have since been removed as identity fraud. I called customer service and explained to them and they pulled up the documents and said this to me. The account was closed and they were unable to reopen the account and the representative also stated that they had received the documents before the account was fully closed but basically they dropped the ball and didn't update the account and just let it close. I said well you have the proof reopen and she said there is nothing that she could do it was out of here hands. I asked for a supervisor and still got the same response that yes we got the documents but there was nothing they could do because the account closed. I was livid this made absolutely no sense. If you know that Comenity made an error then your supposed to correct it. All I wanted was my accounts to be opened and then that was that. But all I received was the same events over and over. Nothing has been rectified and its not right at all. I need this to be resolved correctly and the accounts to be opened. I even tried to reapply and was denied because of the status of my other accounts and they told me to reapply and still didn't do anything

Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Subissue: Account information incorrect
Consumer Complaint: CB/XXXX has failed to validate that this account is reporting maximum possible accuracy per the FCRA. I have initiated several attempts through the credit bureaus and collection agencies to have this account validated and has not received a response and I have reason to believe that reasonable procedures were not conducted on these accounts due to the current violations I have found as if relates to my credit profile and unverified accounts on my report. How can a disputed be resolved if the customer disagrees, who resolved the disputed account, no reasonable procedure was performed it is a violation to my rights to claim that an account has been resolved if I didnt resolve it and its still reporting inaccurately This company has violated FCRA 623 ( a ) b ) by failing to mark this disputed account as disputed ( letters attached to show when I disputed account below ) 605 ( c ) running if the period has also been violated as the date of last activity on this account is reporting. When it should reflect the last date a payment was made. This company has continuously failed to validate this collection account futher violating FDCPA 809b per the FTC opinion.
