      Payment made for my credit card account in July of 2022 was rejected by Commerce Bank because they stated "No account by this name". Commerce Bank would later assess a late fee for their action. Commerce Bank has failed to send a credit card in my current legal name on it for two years, unblock me from having online access and being able to communicate with a human. I have reported the discrimination to the Colorado Division of Cvil Rights and all I ask now is that the illegal late fee be refunded and the account closed when a balance transfer request for the balance from July is received. Commerce Bank will not give me an account number or any other valid information that will prevent them from rejecting this balance transfer rrquest so if they refuse that payment I ask that they forfeit the right to collect on the principal.

      Commerce Bank (“Bank”) received your Complaint regarding your credit card ending in **** (“Account”).
      Below is a summary of our findings and resolution.

      As stated in your Complaint:
      • You state that the Bank rejected a payment you made to your Account in July because the Bank
      stated there was no such account under your name. The Bank charged a late payment fee to your
      Account.
      • You state that the Bank failed to send you a credit card in your current, legal name for two years,
      that the Bank blocked Online Banking access. and the Bank will not allow you to speak to a human
      being.
      • You reported the Bank to the Colorado Division of Civil Rights, and you ask that the “illegal” late
      payment fee charged to your Account be refunded.
      • You state that you want the Bank to close the Account once you execute a Balance Transfer to
      transfer the balance on this Account to another bank.
      • You state that if the Bank rejects this Balance Transfer, you believe the Bank should forfeit the
      right to collect on the Account.

      Bank research and resolution:
      • You notified the Bank in December 2020 of your legal name change and requested to have your
      Account changed to your current name and a new card issued. The Bank immediately issued a
      new card in your current name and changed the Account to your current name. You
      acknowledged receipt of this card in an email to the Bank dated December 7, 2020.
      • During that time, a Bank employee worked with you via email to unlock your Online Banking
      account. This employee gave you his personal phone number, so you had a direct contact at any
      time. Several other Bank employees also attempted to contact you directly to walk you through
      setting up the account but further attempts to reach you were unsuccessful.
      • The Bank successfully received a timely payment of $50.00 on June 24, 2022 for the July 2022
      payment. The Bank has no record of ever receiving or rejecting a payment from you in July.
      However, a timely August payment was not received and a late payment fee was assessed on
      August 11, 2022. As a courtesy to you, a one-time refund for this late fee was issued on August
      25, 2022.
      • You paid the full balance in the amount of $3,613.22 on the Account on August 24, 2022. At your
      request, a new card was mailed to you.
      • You have been given instructions on contacting customer service should you need assistance in
      setting up an Online Banking account. You will need to follow set-up instructions when the new
      card is received to continue having access to Online Banking.
      • If the Account accrues an additional balance and a Balance Transfer is appropriately requested,
      the Bank will transfer the balance to another account according to the instructions and applicable
      procedures.

      Thank you for the opportunity to respond to this Complaint.
