Yet they continue to send me statements with amounts on them in hopes that I ignore the statement and then they can charge me $41.00 late fee. I have called this institution several times to resolve this matter and yet they continue to bill me even the account is closed have spoke with the collection department to cease these annoying statements did no good spent hours on promised that a supervisor would return my inquiry and that never happened. I don't want any further harassment from this institution because they operate under fraudulent practicesBusiness Response

I ordered a Samsung computer monitor around March 26, 2022. Instead of receiving the item I received a note from USPS saying they missed me and the item is at the Eastpointe, MI post office for pick up. Twice I went to inquire about my item and was told it was not there. I was given a number to file a missing package report. That tracking number is ******************. When I called concerning my report I was told the item was returned back to the store because I didn’t pick it up which as I stated I came twice and was told it was not there. I called and disputed the charge on my account and was given a refund then I see the refund was reversed and I received notice from COMENITY that additional information is needed and allow approximately 90 days for a decision to be made. I sent them a letter of my issue with my account number and tracking number. Only to receive a letter saying they don’t information on transactions at the store and to contact the store. The problem was not with the store but is with my account still being charged for something I never received. I have a hard time contacting anyone on the phone and if I finally reach someone I feel I will be getting another run around.Business Response

Victoria Secrets is charging me a additional fee for account assured I never signed up for. I had thus issue with them earlier thus year in January saying I owe them money because I didn't pay the service fee for account assured and they charged me all these late fees for something I wasn't aware of. I called them and told them to disenroll me and fix my account. Round 2. I purchased something last month from bath and body works. My balance was $55 now they are saying I owe $56.71. I've been on the phone over 2 hours today and I still wasn't able to speak to a representative. I want my account with them closed. I paid my bill today and I would like for them to remove account assured from my account. I complained about someone who hacked into my phone and has access to my account and no one believes. Please help me get in contact with them to close my Victoria secrets credit card. I'm tired of them now.Business Response

I have been trying to get a hold of someone at Comenity Bank the section that services my Victoria Secret Card. I have spend numerous hours on the phone , and have followed up more than five times even after speaking to a supervisor. I proactively called once a got a email on my Victorias Secret card that an order was placed in fraud to another state. They claimed that they will start the dispute process and close the account as well as issue a new card within 5-10 business days. Its over a month and I have not received a new card, not sure if they even closed out my old card, and want to make sure that the dispute has been filed as I have the write to receive a letter that the charges are placed on hold during this process and I am not liable since I notified you within 60 days from the statement, as well as I have not got a statement showing the charge. Each time I call I get more aggravated speaking with customer service members and supervisors who are incapable. Please issue a new card and overnight it as it has taken over a month with no card, please issue an adverse action letter or send me a letter showing that you acknowledge the fraud charge or dispute and started a claim. Stop telling me that your going through a system upgrade.Business Response

I paid off my balance on my Express card. After closing the balance I was charged a number of finance charges and each time had to call to get them removed since I had not made any purchases . Finally after this occurring three times I closed my card and was told all charges would be removed (May 2022) currently I am being harassed and told I have a balance to pay off from a purchase I never made. Instead of removing the charges (48$) they are asking me to open up a dispute . Keep in mind I was charged about 300$ in finance charges after paying off the balance. They have the worst customer service and refuse to acknowledge their mistake in charging me unwarranted charges.Business Response

I had an IKEA Visa and Wayfair credit card through Comenity - both of which have been closed for over a year. After their transition to bread financial I suddenly can’t login online anymore. All I get is a message that says the account is closed and to call. I’m still paying down balances. Why can I not login to see my accounts? I have called and was originally told there was a system upgrade happening and I should be able to login later. It’s been over two weeks since then and I still cannot login. This is insane. My login is good, my accounts with Comenity still need to be actioned despite them being closed and this is a horrible customer experience.Business Response
