I submitted an application with *************** which this bank owns. Their automated system flagged our application as fraudulent because they have a system that overrides user submitted information.
Nowhere in the application process is this disclosed and all correspondence from ***** is directed to my partner.
I contacted the company on Friday and was told that they removed my partner's information from the original ************** partner and I resubmitted an application with her contact info (cell phone number, SSN, DOB). They rejected it stating that her info is attached to another application despite the company's employee saying they deleted the info.
I contacted them again this morning and was told they're unable to delete this information.
Bread/Comenity's employee outright lied to **** do not trust this institution with my or my partner's private data.
I want it deleted from their system, but their employee refused to put me through to a supervisor or direct manager stating there's none available.

Hello, I used bread financials service to finance a computer from digital storm in January 2025. Come march 25th of 2025, I call digital storm to ask about the status of my computer, and they tell me it still hasnt started to be built. I cancel my order and ask for a refund which they do, but they give all of the money to bread financial. I put a deposit of $5500, and a one time payment of $900 with 0% interest during this time. I dont know why the computer company gave all of my money to the financial company but regardless ever since April 21st, they keep giving me the run around promising I will receive a tracking update for my check, within 24/48 hours. Its almost been two full weeks and Ive still yet to receive said update. Ive even called to ask for a manager and they say the same thing! A manager will return my call in 24/48 hours. I feel like my money is being held hostage at this point or they just arent going to return it. Any way, I didnt know what else to do so I hope this complaint will help get this resolved thank you.Business Response

I was contacted by a collection agency representing this bank- I am writing to file a complaint against Comenity Bank / SPMNGVSA, located at: **************************************************
Since last year, I have been repeatedly contacted by this bank regarding a debt they claim I owe for the purchase of four tires in *****. Despite having no knowledge of this transaction and no connection to it, I was subjected to persistent phone calls. These calls eventually stopped, but I have now discovered that Comenity Bank or the collection agency has reported this alleged debt to all three major credit reporting agencies, negatively affecting my credit report.
I am requesting that the BBB assist me in having Comenity Bank investigate this matter properly and remove the erroneous information from my credit history.
A simple verification of my Social Security Number against the one associated with the account in question should be sufficient to confirm that I am not the individual responsible for this debt.

I never intended to open a Comenity Bank credit card. While purchasing soccer goals at **************, the cashier strongly encouraged me to apply at checkout. I agreed out of politeness.
However, the card was never delivered to me because the cashier entered the wrong mailing address. I later requested Comenity Bank to correct the address, but I never received any mail or credit card. I had no way to access the account, check my balance, or receive statements.I visited the store and asked about my balance but they couldnt help without a card.
I called Comenity Bank several times, paid what I was told was the full balance, and asked to close the account. I was told it was closed.
Later, I discovered a $216 balance on my Credit Karma report along with late fees and negative marks. When I called again, the representative said they couldnt verify my balance because the account was closed.
I paid the $216 again just to stop the damage.I also requested a Zero Balance Letter several times, and it was promised but never sent.
I never received my account number, despite asking multiple times.This issue has also been submitted to the ************************************ (****). Complaint ID: ***************.

On 4/2/2025, I went onto the bread financial app to make a payment on my Kay’s Credit card. When I tried to log in a pop up appeared on my screen saying “It’s not you, it’s us. We are experiencing technical difficulties please try again later”. I backed out waited until the next day and tried again. I got the same pop up. I even went to my App Store and made sure my phone had the latest version of the app and it did. I tried this everyday leading up to the day of making my credit card payment and kept receiving the same pop up. I tried again on 4/7 and 4/8 but still had no luck. On 4/9/2025 I was finally able to log in and make a payment. But to my surprise I had a late fee charge. I attempted to securely message someone in the app and they credited me $15.00 of the $30.00 late fee. I then asked them again why I was being held responsible for a late fee that I could not control because of the app being unavailable leading up to the day of my payment. They told me that I could have paid other ways if I would have looked at my account information. But how could I do that if I was unable to log into the application?
They also said I was only eligible for a one time late fee credit of $15.00. And since they had did it once they were not going to do it again. All I am seeking is for my credit score to be adjusted for a late fee I could not control and a credit of the late fee I should not be responsible for.Business Response

They charge double for late payments. I always pay on time. I don’t want them trying to ruin my excellent credit because of something I DID NOT DO!
Is it legal to double charge someone like this? I never heard of anything like it. I will never deal with them again!Business Response

My complaint is against Comenity ***** Beauty. The complaint number is ********. I had sent in a complaint before. I just can't believe it's possible that a company can get a bill, a check for the bill. I see it was paid. It was paid soon enough. I sent it out immediately, but I believe they held it and waited until after the date when it was due. And they're trying to charge me double plus an additional $2, so a $24.35 charge could end up to be $50. It's ridiculous. I can't believe it's legal, and I'm going to carry this on as far as I have to. I'm not going to be charged for something that is already paid. I cannot believe community sent the only correspondence I got from them was something saying how did you agree with our response? Oh, I told them how I agreed with it. I didn't agree with it at all. I think it's corruption. And I'm not happy about it. So my name is **** *******. My phone number is ************. And I can be, you know, called sometimes I'm busy in the daytime, sometimes I'm not. Probably tomorrow is going to be a busy day, which would be Tuesday. Wednesday would be more open. But I do expect to hear from you, and I'm going to carry this up to the, you know, Attorney General of the State of Ohio. Thank you. Bye.
