Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account information incorrect

Consumer Complaint: Hello I am hoping you can help me with an issues I have with Comenity Bank. In XXXX of XXXX Comenity Bank and myself came to a settlement agreement on a balance I owe of {$2200.00} the settlement agreement was {$890.00} of six payments. XX/XX/XXXX {$100.00} XX/XX/XXXX {$100.00} XX/XX/XXXX {$100.00} XX/XX/XXXX {$100.00} XX/XX/XXXX {$390.00} Now they are trying to say that I owe them {$1300.00} which is the difference between the full balance and the settlement offer that was paid. Also on my credit reports XXXX XXXX and XXXX are all reporting a balance to. This should not be happening since I have a letter from them with the offer and payments schedule. I have attached the letter for you viewing. This has done on long enough and need to fix.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Information belongs to someone else

Consumer Complaint: I've been disputing fraud accounts on my credit report since XX/XX/2021. I keep sending multiple sets of letters to the bureaus and the creditors so the excuse of " we didn't get it '' doesn't happen. Furthermore, each letter is certified mail with tracking and each letter shows signed and delivered and yet the bureaus are still not taking any actions. The accounts are not showing in dispute nor are they removed from my report. The accounts always show up with different name variations and different account number variations and yet the bureaus seem to ignore the trend and let these fraud accounts affect my credit score. I have requested the investigation to be initiated and also verifiable proof to be submitted should the account claim to be mine. Not only have I not received any mail showing the verifiable proofs needed to justify the accounts to be on my report, I haven't even received any letters at all stating the investigations have begun. Per the FCRA and federal law, the process is supposed to be 30 days. 130 days later, I'm still here shelling out money for certified mail with no end in sight and no results to show. This is my last option before I take this up with my lawyers and sue for full compensations and damages incurred. Finally, it seems that when these complaints are submitted, the bureaus are using the excuse that they " can't confirm my identity '' to get away with taking no actions on my credit report. Please investigate this as well.

Issue: Problem when making payments

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

Consumer Complaint: I purchased a pair of shoes from XXXX XXXX for {$30.00}. They offered a store credit card from Comenity and I signed up because I thought it would help me increase my credit score. They never sent a bill. I called twice to ask about the amount due and to make payment. I was told I would have to wait until I received my bill. I became very wary of the company and closed the credit card account. This is evidenced by the entry on my credit report of Comenity closing the account on XX/XX/2021. When the bill finally came, I made prompt payment on XX/XX/2021. The check was not processed by the company until XX/XX/2021 and after they charged a late fee and minimum interest charge on the account of {$37.00} on XX/XX/2021. I called to tell them the credit card account was closed and that we payed as soon as we received the delayed delivery of the statement/invoice. They refused to take action or even acknowledge the account was closed. I have spoken with them three times since. The purchase has been fully paid for. They refuse to close the account and continued to charge a late fee and minimum interest fee of {$37.00} per month on the closed account, charging interest on the interest and late fees. The fees have now added up to {$100.00}. Again I called and told them I was going to file a complaint and again they refused to do anything. Their actions in causing the delayed invoice/statement feel intentional and an abuse of fair consumer credit practices.

Issue: Fees or interest

Subissue: Problem with fees

Consumer Complaint: I placed an order with XXXX XXXX in XXXX, I never received the items but was charged for the items by Comenity Bank. I sent a letter to Comenity Bank, explaining that I never received any order and I wanted these charges removed. This letter was sent to Comenity Bank on XXXX XXXX. I called and the rep told me that I'm still responsible until XXXX XXXX refund me and then they will work with the late fees and that I had to pay on the bill to keep late fee down. I then paid {$40.00} with that rep because he said they will refund it back to me. I agreed to pay the {$40.00} so that they wouldn't report late on my credit. I also sent in affidavits to XXXX XXXX on XXXX XXXX, after they keep telling that they had sent affidavits forms in the mail and which I never received them either, so another rep from XXXX XXXX walked me through the website to print the forms my self and that is how I got forms to send off. I also called XXXX XXXX to check for the credit for my account on XXXX and learned that they had sent Comenity Bank a credit of {$34.00} and {$22.00} was the wrong amount, it should have been {$33.00}. So that left a shortage of {$11.00}. So I called XXXX XXXX back and they went ahead and refunded the {$11.00} and sent it over to Comenity Bank. So in the process of trying to get refunded for a non received order of {$68.00} has resorted in Comenity Bank charging me on a order that I never received in the amount of {$83.00} in late fees. I tried reasoning with the account supervisor by the name of XXXX in customer service and also spoke with XXXX who stated that she was the senior account specialist and they showed no concern of helping to fix this issue. I was wrongfully charged these fees and want my credit of my {$40.00} dollar payment.
