      I made a payment on of 59.00 on May 1st 2005 however they did not hit my account until 5 days later on the 5th at that time I was told that it was declined because of insufficient funds so on the 5th I called the bank and made a second payment over the phone for 59.00, I called to speak with them about dropping the $30 charge for insignificant funds they have refused even though I made a payment on the 1st now when I look at my statement they have somehow written it up to appease themselves so that they look good on their side had I known they were going to hold my payment for 5 days I would have had it taken care of over the phone which would have been quicker also note that my payments are always made on time and normally after 2 days the payments go through my payments are always on time my payments are not due until the 14th or 15th of the month I always pay no later than the first or the second I've not had a problem with these people up until now because they've never held my money that long before they hit my account I just don't think it's fair for me to have to pay $30 for their mistake of holding my money for 5 days could you please help me with this incident..
      The first representative that I spoke with his badge number is **** his name is ******.. I also spoke with the supervisor her name is ****** her badge number is ******.. at that time I asked if she could go back and listen to the phone call of one of the people I spoke with about the payment she says that she can't check phone calls so could you please help me out give me any information you can find out for me I'd really appreciate it like I said I just don't think it's fair for me to pay $30 fee for something that they caused thank you.

      I am requesting a refund of $19.00 to my Academy credit card account. I've had one late payment which was an honest mistake. Half of the balance was forgiven, but the ******** on the phone originally made it sound like the full balance would be forgiven. Because of that I have the remaining $15 fee along with two pointless $2 fees that I never knew about. One $2 fee comes from the balance I thought was forgiven and did not appear when I made the first phone call.

      The next came the day after I received the notification that I had a balance, which was not past due. These charges do not even appear in the updated account balance, and would continue to carry over indefinitely. These are unethical business practices in which the only purpose is to ***** a customer. Not only are these charges arbitrary, the lack of communication by the first ******** has caused me to incur additional fees. Again, I'm requesting a $19.00 refund to my credit card account.I appreciate any attention to this matter.

      I have closed my account and they keep charging me fees and interest when my initial transaction was only $100, I paid that on my DUE DATE they claim because it didn't post until the next day I get charged a feww. I was not aware that I had such fee so another fee was assessed. Once alerted to the disc***ancy OI called, they waived one fee and I paid the other, 33 dollars. They assured me my account was closed and I would have no other fees. Now I get a bill for 3 dollars and interest fees. The *** refused to fix the issue and said a manager was not available. I insisted to speak to one and he kept ***eating himself. He refused to get a amager on the phone.

      I purchased a Carbon SnoreX Pillow off of Brylane Home's website but it was from a 3rd party vendor. I contacted Brylane to let them know the pillow appeared to have been used and that it was not a queen size pillow which is what I choose. I have returned the pillow to the vendor, on April ******* and they have received it on April *******. There has been no communication from them to either party nor have I received a refund.

      Ulta credit card known as commenity, called to collect a payment. I asked to pay in full. It was $236.00 a month later I was sent a bill that I had a late fee and interest charge because I paid it on the 13 over the phone, bill was due on the 12th. Their *** said full balance was $236. Now Im being charged two late fees and interest on that. This seems like robbery. I have spoken to a *** and the stated the would reduce it to $36. I paid it, again over the phone. Now Im receiving another bill for $46 for a late fee and interest. Please help.

      I had the big lots credit card through comenity bank and the credit card company was discontinued in February of 2025 which is when the account officially closed.

      I still had a balance to which payment was made in full on 3/13/25 that included: ****** for the previous balance, ***** late fee charged for the month of February, plus a 7.09 interest charge for the total amount of ******. Payments for the account were due every 17th of the month so on 3/13/25 the account was paid in full for the amount of ****** and had a 0.00 balance along with the fact that the account had officially been closed and yet I was still charged a 5.95 interest charge, on 3/23/25, and a late fee of 5.95 on 4/17/25, and and interest charge of 2.00 on 4/22/25.

      For a balance of ***** due for 5/17/25. I did speak with a representative and the representatives manager to which both insisted there was no error and to pay the account.

      On 4/28, received email from *********** stating change in credit score. Talbots w Comenity bank negative delinquent. I called Comenity bank staff stated I owed $364 from a $60 bill January 2025. I had a Talbots credit but the bill was never sent because signed up for email in January 2025. But I never received an email bill. I've been a member of ******* since 2018. I've always paid bill in full never late or paid interest. It was clearly a miscommunication. The bank staff stated "Oh I know what happened the updates went to your spam mail and we tried to call you 200 times." I thought she was trying to be sarcastic. I haven't received any calls from Comenity. She was very rude and dismissive. I paid the amount unwilling but file a dispute with the credit bureau. I had a credit score of right at ********************************************************** November 2025 with a 2.9% . Well, paid that off in April 2025. I never heard of this bank and never paid any attention to the back of Talbots card. I f/u with the credit bureau, they haven't heard anything from Comenity. But I will never do business with any company banking with Comenity. Please help resolve this issue to restore my credit

      Comenity Bank has more than 2500 complaints in 36 months. I called ******* store asked if they were aware. The reply - **** had several complaints from our customers. Unfortunately, I paid the bogus charge and filed a complaint. Im trying to correct the unjustified claim that lowered my credit score. I have called several times but no one will answer . Its as though my number has been blocked. This company is taking advantage of good people with their unfair tactics. I did have a credit for ******* on a return. All explanation on a recorded line.
