My dispute is due to this company ruining my credit by claiming I owe a debt that I do not owe. I never made a purchase after paying my account down to a zero balance in 2024. After this I received a bill for a late fee and disputed that. The late fee continued to multiply and I refused to pay and kept sending dispute letters. Later in the year I was reported to collections by the company and continued to be dismissed every dispute I attempted was not overturned. I have now lost my credit with over 6 cards being closed and my credit has taken a huge hit due to this invalid debt. Currently, I am unable to obtain new credit from any reputable creditor and Victoria's Secret has sold the debt which led to that company also reporting to my credit. The affects are devastating and I have exhausted almost all of my options aside from hiring an attorney which is my next move if the company does not resolve the issue on all parts.Business Response

I have been not only a loyal Victoria Secret card holder but also a Buckle card holder for years.
My problem is with the website for paying on my Buckle card. For probably the last year everytime I try to log in my username auto-populates but when I enter my password it tells me my account cannot be found. I have used the same password this entire time too. I then will go to the forgot username/password link and put in my username that the website auto-populates with my zip code and last 4 of my social and again tells me my account can't be found. I don't carry my account number/card with me so I have to wait until I get home to enter my account number/zip code/ssn and the system miraculously finds my account!
With the username I JUST tried logging in with! I have incurred a few late fews because of this issue with the website. I've never had a problem paying my bill in the past; just these last few months the website has been a problem. I called customer service 3 times only to be told my account isn't eligible for a late fee refund because I received a refund a few months back. But that was only because I couldn't get into my account online. And it happened again!
I couldn't pay online because of said website problem. I just want the late fee waived again one more time because this was beyond my control. Also out of the 3 times of calling customer service I was hung up on twice. I would love to continue being a loyal customer but not until this issue is resolved. I always make my payments on time but it's hard to do if I can't log in.

Made a purchase in December 2024 from ****** using the Archarge credit card. Was told a 24-month promotional balance with 0 interest if paid within 24 months. Received an email from Comenity Bank stating that my balance needed to be paid in full by June 2025 or I would be charged all deferred interest. Upon calling customer service, I was told that nothing could be done because the purchase was made over 60 days ago.Business Response

Dollar value: $5.54 & continued interest and late fees after the account was paid in ******* account was wrongfully closed. The bill was paid in full in January 2025. I received a letter in May 2025 stating that my account was closed for non-payment. I contacted Comenity bank via telephone & written letter (May 23, 2025) showing receipts that the bill was paid in full. They informed me that I still owe interest & late fees after February 2025. My email receipts will show that all was paid in full down to the $5.54. I paid the $5.54 again and now they are charging me additional late fees & interest. The account was closed and affecting my credit score. I want them to correct this matter & change the status of my credit report. December Bill statement: $263.94 Paid on January 20, 2025 *********************** $5.54 Paid on February 23, 2025 Now they are telling me I owe them $76.70 by June 20, 2025Business Response

This concern is in reference to my Torrid account ending in: 2235. This goes back to April 21, 2025. I returned a recently purchased unused item in person to the local Torrid store. My return was accepted and my account was ************************ for $23.94 USD. I then went to pay the balance owed of $10.00 USD via the telephone. Unfortunately the return had not posted to my account yet and the system would not accept the ten dollar payment. Admittedly I should have tended to this matter earlier, however I was diagnosed with COVID-19 and RSV in early and late April 2025. Ive been quite ill and not kept up-to-date on these matters. I just received a notice yesterday 06-05-2025 from Comenity Bank dba Torrid that my account has been suspended. Im more than happy to pay the original $10.00 balance without any additional fees being levied. I would also request that Comenity remove any derogatory information from all of the credit reporting bureaus. My payment history with Comenity/Torrid has been excellent and my high credit score 800+ reflects my diligence.Business Response

I have paid ******. It took the money out of my account, but ******************** said I had insufficient funds in the account. I purposely kept the exact amount of the charge so that it wouldn't kick back. I had over ***** in another account and they kept telling me on the phone I had insufficient funds in the account, so I paid it online. It took the money immediately. Now here it is, I have lost ****** dollars and they say i still owe 590. This is absolutely ridiculous.Business Response

Not willing to work with someone with a diagnosis putting them at less hours and less funds. Called to see if they had any type of hardship plan to maintain payment and contact with them. Extremely rude. Been hung up on several times. Never responds to emails. No options. I only have a $400 balance. Youd think they want to work with someone. Instead they just call 29 times a day and harass you. Then report it to the credit bureau to ruin you. Something should be done about them. Would like them to respond to email so I have records of communication and wont get treated terribly and hung up on.Customer Answer

THE DUE DATE FOR MY PAYMENT WAS 4-28-25...A FULL 7 DAYS BEFOREHAND. ON MY MAY STATEMENT I WAS CHARGED $54.72 FOR RESIDUAL INTEREST. i SENT A MESSAGE TO THEM DISPUTING THIS INTEREST CHARGED TO MY ACCOUNT AND ASKED FOR IT TO BE REMOVED CITING THE DATES ABOVE WHILE SENDING PROOF AS TO WHEN PAYMENT CLEARED MY CREDIT UNION ACCOUNT AND HIGHLIGHTING THEIR OWN WORDS ON MY STATEMENT THAT STATES THEY WILL NOT CHARGE INTEREST IF BALANCE IS PAID IN FULL BEFORE THE DUE DATE. ALSO, AFTER PAYING OFF MY BALANCE IN FULL, THEY LOWERED MY CREDIT LIMIT FROM $7,500.00 TO $750.00 CITING COMPLETELY FALSE REASONS. THEY SAY THEY ARE "INVESTIGATING"...MEANWHILE THEY HAVE CHARGED MY ACCOUNT A LATE FEE OF $41.00 AND $2.00 MINIMUM INTEREST. I WILL NOT PAY THESE CHARGES AS THIS IS CLEARLY AN ATTEMPT TO PUNISH MY CREDIT FOR PAYING OFF MY BALANCE AND NOT ALLOWING THEM TO CHARGE THEIR RIDICULOUS INTEREST RATE OF *****% AND *****% FROM MY PREVIOUS DEBT.Business Response

Comenity manages the store card for **************. I have had a credit balance of $50 for a couple of statement cycles, and Comenity refuses to send a refund check. They claim that they sent a refund check for .20 over a year ago - which I never received. Because I "never cashed that check" according to their response, they could not send ********** they sent ANOTHER absurd check for twenty cents, which I had to make a special trip to the bank in order to cash.They still refuse to send the $50 they owe, claiming that "one refund check" has been issued, so they cannot send another one.Apparently no one at this bank understands the difference between two dimes, and fifty dollars.Business Response
