Issue: Problem when making payments

Subissue: Problem during payment process

Consumer Complaint: I recently paid my entire balance off with Comenity Bank XXXX after I started the hardship plan due to losing my job during the pandemic and the bank is STILL holding my funds after I asked a CSR Would my funds be available and will I be able to utilize my card? They said yes and that was a farce! I made the payment on XX/XX/2021 and called and spoke with a representative on XX/XX/2021 and thats when I was told that the funds would be released after the payment had posted. I checked my financial institution balance and it showed the deduction had taken place for Comenity Bank and the payment had posted on Comenity Banks end as well. A call was made on XX/XX/2021 about the reasoning behind my funds not being released and the CSR at Comenity told me that The payment was made after the closing date so Ill have to wait a month I then informed them that I spoke with a representative who relayed to me that once the balance was satisfied I would have access to my funds. The representative I spoke with on XX/XX/2021 stated that the information provided to me prior was incorrect. Im now being penalized for something I had no knowledge of and when I asked if this could or would happen I was told No it wouldnt. This is very unacceptable especially when youve come out of a financial downfall and youre trying to satisfy all your debts!

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem

Subissue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

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 :

Issue: Fees or interest

Subissue: Problem with fees

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX, I paid my credit card balance off in full. Previous to this date I paid my card on time every month. On XXXX, I was hit for a finance charge of XXXX. Given that my card was paid off, I should not have acquired this charge. I was not notified of a balance due through mail or by phone and was not aware of a charge until earlier this month after purchasing a vehicle. I then paid XXXX and sent an email immediately to my company apologizing and asking them to waive the fee. I then went to purchase an item yesterday and found out I have been reported to the credit bureaus for being 90 days past due on my account. I immediately called my credit company to find out what I could do to resolve this. After looking further into this I found I was hit with 2 late fees and interest accrued to XXXX. I was told by the supervisor there was nothing I could do. I am stuck with a ding on my credit report after being charged a finance charge on a balance that I had previously paid off.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement

Subissue: Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement

Consumer Complaint: I paid my balance and accidentally over paid by XXXX. This meant I had a negative balance on the following bill. When I received the bill for the next month, it showed my starting balance as XXXX, but also said I had {$5.00} past due and I have received multiple harassing emails attempting to collect a balance that isnt owed. I notified the card issuer, but because their reps dont understand how their mistake happened, they dont understand what to do with it. Attached is the bill that shows their error.

Issue: Getting a credit card

Subissue: Sent card you never applied for

Consumer Complaint: Comenity Bank opened an account in my name without authorization. They ran my credit, and then reported a new account being opened. They refuse to answer my questions online, and apparently are running up a balance in my name, in spite of my never applying for a card. I never gave them an address to send a bill, I never gave them a phone number, and I have no way of contacting them online other than through the account I was an additional card holder on, ie. my wife 's account.
