Issue: Closing your account

Subissue: Company closed your account

Consumer Complaint: I was informed by a letter in the mail in XX/XX/XXXX that a XXXX Credit Card was issued in my name. I called into petland and let them know that there was a mistake as Ive never opened a credit card with any store and never would. I gave them my information such as my address, phone number etc and none of my information matched what they had on file for me. The woman I spoke to was part of the fraud department and she assured me that she would close the account and mark it as fraudulent. Ever since I spoke with this woman back in XXXX XXXX now has my up to date information that I provided them with and they are trying to make me pay for an account that does not belong to me. They tell me that the information they have matches up to me but that is not true because the only reason they have my information is because I willingly gave it to them so they could contact me after closing the account and marking it as fraud.

Issue: Fees or interest

Subissue: Problem with fees

Consumer Complaint: I pay my XXXX XXXX on my XXXX XXXX XXXX bill pay. I paid it on XX/XX/XXXX. They didnt record it until XX/XX/XXXX. They are saying it takes the mail that long to get to them. They are charging me finance charges and late fees. This happened in XXXX and XXXX too. If you look at my history I am a good consumer. I pay my bill by the XXXX. Its not my fault that they say they arent getting it in time. I think they dont pick up their mail on a timely basis or some other nefarious reason. I called them on XX/XX/XXXX. The agent told me I owed {$190.00} which I paid over the phone. Now, I see my statement recorded they received {$96.00} on XX/XX/XXXX so the agent didnt see it was paid FIVE days after!! Which is why they have to refund me. So I have to pay over {$70.00} in late fees and finance fees. I have an excellent credit rating. You can see some months where I paid when I didnt have to because they dont show it as paid then they have to send it back to me.

Issue: Closing an account

Subissue: Funds not received from closed account

Consumer Complaint: I currently had sold my home and was going to purchase a new build home and wanted to put the money in a " safe place '' while the construction on the new home was being completed so I opened a CD account with Comenity online bank for {$140000.00} that was funded from my regular bank account on XX/XX/XXXX. My plans changed and I found a new build house that was available now and made an offer on that property and needed to close the CD in order to put a down payment on this house. I called their customer service as soon as I knew of this change on XX/XX/XXXX to request information on how to take a penalty and close my CD with them. I was given the information on the penalty, and was told it would take 3-5 business days for them to send the money back to my original account. I requested that the account be closed on XX/XX/XXXX. The closing on my new property was scheduled for today XX/XX/XXXX. They still have not completed this transaction. They have an online messaging system that I have sent 10 messages inquiring about the status of this account and the only response I have received is that it is " under review ''. I have called their customer service line daily starting on XX/XX/XXXX since I was getting no response on their online messaging system. I have spoken to several members on their customer service team and their " escalation '' team. I have asked to speak with a manager, director, supervisor and have been told that they do not take direct calls. Multiple customer service agents have assured me that the account has been escalated, however when I called yesterday on XX/XX/XXXX the customer service person I spoke to said she could not see notes that my account has been escalated. I contacted the bank again today XX/XX/XXXX and the customer service rep told me that my only next step might be to write a letter to their corporate office and was unable to give me any further information regarding my account. As a result of this, I have had to scramble to try to find other ways to fund the closing of my home. It is a very disconcerting thing to put your money in a place for safekeeping just to feel like you need to actually be protected from the financial institution itself. I would want other consumers to know that this bank does not make good on the information they give you, and will not transfer your money to you even in the case of an emergent situation.
