Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement
Subissue: Card was charged for something you did not purchase with the card
Consumer Complaint: Comenity Bank is not helping me resolve this matter and when I was asked to call, I can't get through because I no longer have this card ( I cut it up after paying off ) and I am lost in a sea of automated voices. In XX/XX/2020 I paid this credit card in full and did not use it since. In XX/XX/2020 I was charged for some " club '' that I did not want or authorize and it was for a sister brand of this store card. The amount was {$19.00}. Shortly after that I was charged a {$19.00} late fee. Then I was charged the minimum finance charge of {$2.00}. Then the following month I was charged {$35.00} in late fees and another {$2.00} totaling {$77.00}. I did not receive any indication from Comentiy that I had any balance - that is until XXXX XXXX emailed me to tell me I had an over 60 day non payment entry on my credit report. I logged into XXXX XXXX and could not find anything over due. About a week later an unidentified phone number who did not leave any message. I googled the number and found that it was XXXX. I then attempt to log into XXXX and found the above situation. To recap : Charged for some club I didn't join, was charged numerous fees and finance charges yet did not receive a SINGLE notification from Comentiy that I owed anything. When 5 months later they finally call me NO MESSAGE! I wasn't even offered the opportunity to pay or dispute this before they reported me to the credit bureaus and these charges are growing every day. I contacted them through email and was told to call them, I call them and can't get through to a human, emailed again and I'm back to the start. Can someone help me resolve this? I should have canceled these store cards once I paid them off but didn't want to hurt my credit score. Little did I know it would be ruined by them anyway. I pay my bills and had I known about this charge would have resolved it immediately not 4 months later. I feel strongly Commenity bank operates under unfair and deceptive business practices and this is certainly not the first time I have had billing/fee issues with Comenity. I have lots of credit cards and none of them let someone rack up charges without telling them then report them to the credit bureau. XXXX will call you if you are a week late on payment! Please help me resolve this.

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: In XXXX, XXXX I returned clothes to XXXX that I had charged to my XXXX comenity card. On XX/XX/XXXX I received an email from XXXX confirming the return but it only acknowledged half of the items Id returned. The credit was supposed to appear on my statement in 14 days. I never received that credit. I continued to get statements with no credits for my return. I spoke with XXXX and comenity many times on the phone, wasting hours and hours of my life. Also hours wasted messaging them through their message portal. I emailed XXXX and Comenity XX/XX/XXXX disputing my entire balance and attached all documentation. They never investigated a thing. Attached is their return confirmation email, which was insufficient and never credited. Attached is also all other documentation supporting my return of items that appeared on two packing slips, of which XXXX had previously only acknowledged receiving the items listed on 1 of the 2 packing slips. Comenity is continuing to report my account as delinquent to the credit bureaus, ruining my credit and my good name. Collections is still calling and harassing me daily. I do not answer their calls. I reported all of this to the XXXX also, to which Comenity responded that they would research it in the next 30 days. Comenity never even bothered to research the documentation THEY sent ME, which is on my account in THEIR system, and theyve had since XXXX to do that. It was XX/XX/XXXX that I first complained about never getting credit for my return and that the return they acknowledged was only for half of what Id returned in XXXX. Comenity has no remorse for abusing and harassing me for monies I do not owe, nor for ruining my credit. Comenity is apparently stalling resolving this issue and restoring my good credit. It appears to me that they intend to never investigate and to never correct their egregious errors! They have no empathy for the damage they are causing to my good credit nor the mental anguish this is causing me. They continue to ask for MORE TIME to investigate! I find this infuriatingly unreasonable. I believe Comenity should, in addition to marking the fake debt paid in full and on time, pay me

Issue: Trouble using your card
Subissue: Credit card company won't increase or decrease your credit limit
Consumer Complaint: As of today 's date, XX/XX/XXXX. I found my XXXX XXXX XXXX credit card limit originally {$500.00} has been reduced to {$100.00} credit limit. My current balance prior to today 's payment of {$35.00} was only {$62.00}. I have been in good standing with comenity bank with my credit card. The only reason I got this card is for XXXX, birthday gifts, etc for my granddaughters. Their birthdays are over the next 2 days, so imagine my surprise when I'm about to make purchases. Comenity banks excuse is a change in my credit report. I received notice today of what is the impression of high usage on this card. I haven't charged on this card since XX/XX/XXXX. They say they received notification of a change in my credit report. I didn't authorize comenity bank to pull my current credit, I hadn't asked for an increase. There was no obvious reason because my account is in good standing to bother my account. There has been a major change today because of what comenity did in the limit decrease. My debt ratio has been negatively impacted with a balance of {$62.00} and now a limit of {$100.00} it makes it look as though I have excessive high usage and lowers my credit score drastically. Also, I had another credit card with Comenity Bank with Wayfair in good standing and it was closed by Comenity bank 5 months ago because Wayfair and Comenity Bank ended their relationship. The Wayfair credit card with a {$500.00} limit was closed with a XXXX balance. The closure negatively impacted and lowered my credit score. There are a major part of my credit change but make up excuses due to their companies business issues. My other credit card with them was not touched but I have used that card more and have a higher balance. This is not good business. If you are going to represent your company has a bank of business and extended credit then you should run business in a legal manner. Don't extend credit then make up a reason to reduce a consumers credit by intimidation if the card is not used up to the credit limit. How much I use, how often I use and when I use is at my discretion and not comenity bank. This a violation of contract and considered predatory actions. Under federal trade, consumer protection and federal credit reporting act. Reporting to the credit reporting agencies a decrease in credit limit is a negative defamation of character, causes harm and damage. It gives the impression I'm not creditworthy or mishandled my account when that is clearly not the case. With the pandemic disaster along with the winter storm disaster here in Texas everything has been behind. The thing to provide happiness on my grandchildrens face and you take that away.
