Issue: Other features, terms, or problems

Subissue: Problem with balance transfer

Consumer Complaint: I have called in twice and am now issuing my request in writing. I had two refunds from XXXX XXXX to my XXXX XXXX credit card, account : 1. {$2600.00} ( refund check issued XX/XX/XXXX ) 2. {$3400.00} ( return posted XX/XX/XXXX ) These credits were issued on different days. On XX/XX/XXXX I called and requested a check for the {$2600.00} credit and on XXXX I called to request a check for the {$3400.00} balance. The first {$2600.00} was proceed with no issue, however, when I called on XXXX I was told that a second check could not be processed until I received and cashed the first but they would watch it and refund as soon as possible and since the first refund check was just released that would not be until the next day. As such, I called back this morning and asked for a check to be issued today. They reiterated that due to internal processing a second check could not be issued until I received and cashed the first - which is unacceptable. One refund is not contingent on the other and I am officially requesting that the remaining funds be released today, XX/XX/XXXX. I understand there is a processing period needed but this is truly unacceptable. I had them cancel the check on XXXX the check never came- so that we could do one electronic refund of the full amount. I called the week of XX/XX/XXXX to make arrangements for this. On XXXX XXXX I spoke with the representative who said my refund had processed and I should expect to see it on my account in XXXX hours. I called today on XXXX and was told that it was not an electronic transfer but rather a paper check. And again I would need to wait 7-10 business days for it to arrive in the mail. The last time I did this was XX/XX/XXXX for the first check and on XX/XX/XXXX the check was canceled with the understanding that a full refund would be processed electronically. No one can tell me when or why this happened, just that it did and I need to wait patiently. Since XX/XX/XXXX I have been trying to get back my {$6100.00}. It's XX/XX/XXXX and I still have no idea when I will actually get a refund. Please assist as I can't get a clear answer on the phone and no one is responding to my e-mail- screen shots of unanswered e-mails attached.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement

Subissue: Card was charged for something you did not purchase with the card

Consumer Complaint: On Wednesday, XX/XX/XXXX @ XXXX XXXX XXXX I contacted Comenity Capital Bank to inform them to block & cancel my credit card immediately. The customer service rep assisted me in identifying that there were multiple simultaneous transactions that clearly did not match my transactional history pattern nor were they done by me or anyone I know. The fraud was swiftly reported and I made it crystal clear to the Comenity Capital Reps that I also reported my US Passport stolen and filed a XXXX report with the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX. They can be contacted @ XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and can easily verify the validity of the report and issuance of NEW gov issued identification. The report itself also states the cc stolen detail. In fact I'm pursuing legal and law enforcement action against the crime. The transactions varied from small to large most notably charges for XXXX and XXXX XXXX from what appear to be at multiple random locations. I was able to gather one of the identities of one of the charges XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX of the airline purchases and we are gathering further XXXXntelligence on this offense that continues to prove the offenses and Identity Theft. This information and evidence has been submitted to the appropriate parties pending further action. The last approved charge done by me was on XX/XX/XXXX merchant - XXXX. All of the charges in XX/XX/XXXX are fraudulent. What is absolutely erroneous to me and the professional counsel I've been advised by is that the charges were approved despite the flagrant and suspicious locations and charge amounts. This is very unprofessional of Comenity Capital Bank and shows a disregard to safeguard customers accounts. I spoke to multiple reps about this again in Account Protection on XX/XX/XXXX since Comenity Capital Bank added the balance transfer back unto my account on XX/XX/XXXX for {$6900.00}. I was told by Comenity Capital Bank rep that one of the merchants claimed that I have a " son ''? This is a false statement and a lie and I can continue to easily prove that XXXX. I did not make these purchases. XXXX. I do not have ANY family or friend members that made these purchases. XXXX. I do not have a son. I have contacted multiple pertinent parties about this, I've filed an Identity Theft report, XXXX report, police report and am currently getting professional counsel on my legal binding rights. I'm currently gathering further evidence of the Identity Theft/Fraud and have everything documented prepared for next steps. This is not difficult because the truth and right thing to do is very clearly outlined. Please correct this error as soon as possible in accordance with the FCBA, FCRA & Section 605B of the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

Issue: Fees or interest

Subissue: Problem with fees

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX, I used my XXXX 's Credit card for a purchase. I received the statement in late XXXX for a balance of XXXX. I issued a check for XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX for the total new balance. On the next statement, we were charged a late fee of {$29.00} plus {$1.00} in interest for a total balance of XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, I issued a check for XXXX XXXX less late fee and interest ) before I realized that Comenity had not cashed the check issued on XX/XX/XXXX for XXXX. I called the comenity -XXXX requesting a credit of the late fee and interest plus credit for the double payment of the XX/XX/XXXX purchase. The Comenity Associate ( XXXX XXXX XXXX would not issue a credit for the late fee and interest. The two payments from my account were issued via the " Bill Pay '' function of the XXXX XXXX. Essentially, Comenity is charging a late fee and interest to my account for their inability to credit my account for payments.

Issue: Fees or interest

Subissue: Charged too much interest

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX I was told if I opened a XXXX credit card that I could get a XXXXmonth no finance charge promotion plan on a purchase for XXXX, so I opened the credit card. On XX/XX/XXXX I called Comenity bank and spoke to an agent and requested auto-pay for 12 payments to be paid off by the promotion expiration date. My XXXX statement showed the final payment for XX/XX/XXXX was never made and the accrued finance charges of XXXX and a late fee of XXXX were charged and the balance of XXXX. I called Comenity Bank to find out why the last payment was not made and why the charges were assessed. I spoke to an agent, which then escalated the call to another agent. I told the agent that the account was supposed to be set-up for 12 auto-pays by the agent on XX/XX/XXXX. She then put me on a brief hold, then returned to the call and said she would take off the finance fees and late fees and I only owed the balance of XXXX, which she then took the payment from me over the phone. On XX/XX/XXXX I received a credit alert that my credit score fell from XXXX to XXXX because Comenity Bank reported late payments. I made a written dispute and they said because the statements explained the promotional balance was due by XX/XX/XXXX and it was not paid by then I owe the money. I am being charged monthly finance charges on a finance charge. I feel this was a scam by the company. Have customer open up credit card with promo plan. Only set-up customer up for 11 equal auto-pays, not 12. So when the 12 payment is not made, they are charged the accrued XXXXmonth interest at 29.99 %. The dispute letter states they did an investigation but they are taking no responsibility for their agents actions on both phone calls I made to Comenity Bank.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account status incorrect

Consumer Complaint: I opened a personal loan with XXXX XXXX through Comenity Bank for XXXX XXXX XXXX of XXXX. I made regular payments on the loan until my family hit significant financial hardship. I worked with XXXX XXXX XXXX and they were able to make a payment arrangement with XXXX XXXX. I made payments on the balance and XXXX on the amount agreed upon. My credit report shows as the amount is unpaid and charged off and never addressed. I called Comenity, with whom XXXX made the arrangements with and sent payments, and they said they terminated the relationship with XXXX XXXX, they didn't take my money, and they could provide me no information on how to get in touch with XXXX XXXX. The website that is out there for payments is broken, you can't contact anyone. I have no recourse to fix this item. I paid the full amount and I can't get them to even talk to me. Help!
