Issue: Problem when making payments

Subissue: Problem during payment process

Consumer Complaint: From : You Sent : Friday, XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX AM ( XXXX ) To : Comenity Bank Subject : Payments Message ID : XXXX i made a payment via XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX electronically, in the amount of {$400.00}, which Bank says cleared XX/XX/XXXX, but not reflected when I log in XX/XX/XXXX, and review transactions/statements. From : You Sent : Friday, XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX PM XXXX XXXX XXXX To : Comenity Bank Subject : Re : Payments Message ID : XXXX I spoke with Comenitys `customer service XX/XX/XXXX in XXXX who after reviewing the payment I made to our closed account XXXX,, who was nice enough to write a letter internally to have the {$400.00} reapplied to my current account umber XXXX, who said it could take a week. I also issued a payment in the amount of {$29.00} through XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX dated XX/XX/XXXX, which since via mail scheduled or antipathy to be delivered XX/XX/XXXX. Shame the address for mailing payment to Comenity, - My BJS Perks XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, Texas XXXX, only accepts mail from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX instead of a electronic payment system. HAD COMENITY BANK, when they received the {$400.00} on XX/XX/XXXX to our closed account, rejected payment because account was closed or immediately sent notification to the old account number telephone number and email on record, payment of the {$400.00} could have been reapplied to the new account number. The gentleman I spoke with who supposedly wrote the internal letter to have money transferred to the new account, I hope was telling the truth. I received a email last night saying funds have not been received. I see the very, very, very poor rating of Comenity on the XXXX, and now regret getting the new account under my names versus the closed account under my deceased wifes name.

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/2020. 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. 200 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: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account status incorrect

Consumer Complaint: I filed a complaint # XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX on Comenity Bank for not removing an account off of my credit report which they agreed upon by cashing the money order that was enclosed. The letter stated that upon cashing the money order, they agreed to settle the account and also remove the XXXX account off of the credit report. The money order was cashed on XX/XX/XXXX. They claim they never received the letter that accompanied the money order, but they cashed it. Their response through CFPB, the letter that I received, stated that they will not remove the account from the credit report, even though they accepted the terms and conditions by cashing the money order. They also stated in this response letter that all settlements were to be sent to a different address, XXXX XXXX XXXX which the representative did not state. The original letter dated XX/XX/XXXX, they sent me stated that after I spoke to Recovery Department, to send payment to XXXX. XXXX XXXX which I did. They violated the terms that I sent them and are trying to keep from removing the account from my credit report even thought they received the settled amount. Also, the second money order they stated they received had the correct account number on it, which was to a XXXX account. The letter for the XXXX account had the wrong account number ( the XXXX account number ) but the money order had the correct account number. That dollar amount was supposed to be credited to the XXXX account. They have violated the terms agreed upon.

Issue: Problem when making payments

Subissue: Problem during payment process

Consumer Complaint: When I make my payment via their website on the same day that it is due, the payment should be credited to my account that same day. Instead, they've set an unreasonable cutoff time of XXXX Eastern time. I live in XXXX time, so XXXX Eastern time is XXXX my time, which is at the end of a typical work day. When I work 10-12 hour days, I can never pay by the exact cutoff time on the due date, as I can't always interrupt my work day to make the online payment, which I pay manually. When I first signed up for the Lane Bryant credit card by Comenity, they didn't have this ridiculous cutoff time for payments. This is a change that they've made after I already agreed to previous/different terms of service. This is an unfair business practice. They are setting the consumer up to have a late payment and, as a result, a late charge. It's a disgusting attempt to boost their fee income.

Issue: Fees or interest

Subissue: Problem with fees

Consumer Complaint: This is a continuation of original complaint..COMPLAINT ID XXXX SUBMITTED ON XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX I wrote a check for my balance and got it to the post office. As of today I have not seen the check post, I have reached out to Comenity several times, I called them and got a representative who said he would put a " ticket '' in for it. I have followed up ... nothing. They are not responding. So as of XX/XX/XXXX, this will be a late charge which is what I am trying to avoid. If they have the check I need to know NOW. If they don't, I need to know NOW. " On XX/XX/XXXX after receiving my XXXX statement on-line, I copied it and sent it along with my check for {$2700.00} to the payment center ( XXXX. XXXX XXXX, XXXX, TX XXXX ), The envelope was addressed by hand as I did not have your payment coupon which did not come in for several days later. I wanted to get this paid in full immediately. To date, I have not seen that check post. I called a day or two ago and there should be a " ticket '' submitted by your account representative inquiring as to where the check is ... do you have it ... if not, I have to cancel the check and make other arrangements. I need an answer to this as soon as possible ... not going to be dinged for a late fee, etc. Thank you. I can be reached at XXXX or by phone at XXXX. You have not responded to this question. I need an answer, please! '' This is the third time I have reached out to them ... NOTHING back from them. This is totally inexcusable!
