      Comenity Bank/******* has not only billed and added a fee for a mailed bill- they have charged me a late payment fee for an account paid in full by phone at which time I CANCELLED my credit card with Carters.I have spent hours trying to remedy the situation by phone to find that their phone operators only take payments and at other phone numbers- they cant find my account because it was closed.I even trued to call the ******************************** with access to another company by text message which required my signing a ONE YEAR Contract for auto signatures!!!Bottom line is that this is a Third party bank for a number of retailers credit card- AND - buyer beware! The only way to actually communicate is by writing and sending a letter to ***********- which I have just done.Based on the complaints on the BBB site- its clear that you gave not investigated this shifty non- customer friendly bank and my chances of getting my money back are non-existent!

      It is absolutely absurd how Comenity Bank treats their customers, yet there is not ***** given. It is wrong to not send out a notice your payment is due within so many days reminder to make a payment. We missed our due date on one of our cards, because it didnt get scheduled however our other account same due date that we always pay together had processed with no issues. Asked for ***** and to have late fee waived and they cant because the account is closed. The account was closed because the company went out of business, we didnt close the account. Made the payment as soon as we got a notification saying we missed our payment, but they couldnt send a reminder saying hey your payment is due within the next few days. We have many other cards through comenity bank and this is the only account we seem to always have issues with. People make mistakes, technical issues happen, yet there is no room for human error or technical error. Its a bad business model and were just asking for the late fee to be removed out of respect and courtesy. All they seem to care about is how quick they can make a buck it seems like. Change the business model and change how its worded in the statements because this is so wrong!

      This is a complaint about their collections department. I was told by ***** to call homm on a certain day and time to set up a payment plan. And or course, he was not there. Then ******* ( i believe that was here name) would not inform me when I could reach him. ******* told me a payment plan was not available to me, although ***** said yes. Then ***** the rude supervisor said she would not stick to Randy's word of $50 for 6 months. This is completely wrong to do. I am wanting to pay it off at the end on the month but ***** wants me to pay nearly $100 more than what was stated by her employee *****. I am financially struggling and this is just wrong. Something needs to be done with these leeches that try to **** every ounce of blood out of you. They rather get every dime they can get and you be on the streets. Do not ever deal with ************** for your credit needs. They are not a business of there word.

      Hello *********, 

      March 31, 2025 


      ***** L. ******* *************************************** ************ 


      I am writing in response to the letter I received from *************** In the initial complaint we filed with you we asked them to sign the Affidavit of Forged Endorsement. Of which has been mailed numerous times. 


      In return, **************** answer was we must contact the bank that cashed the checks. AGAIN, with no signed Affidavit of Forged Endorsement. 
      This is a simple request so our bank (***********) CAN go back to PNC. 

      Respectfully,

      I financed my account with this company.i had a plan of 9.99 % for entire 60 months. When their company changed their billing system my account was pushed over to a different plan that charged me *****% interest. I contacted the company multiple times and finally got an American to understand what had been done. It was supposed to have been corrected and returned to my original plan and what they had done. Then I started getting bills with a small amount still being charged the *****% interest. I called the company multiple more times and they kept telling me it had been corrected. As you can see it hasn't. I want my billing to go back to my original contract as it should be. I changed nothing. The company told me it was a " glich" and would be corrected. It has not. Now my account payment is being split paying partially to the higher interest rate for the amount they say was past due when I continued to pay my original parent of $63 a month and not the higher payment when they changed my account to a different plan. They tell me it is for thenpast due I didn't pay for the higher payment plan when it was switched over temporarily! WHAT!!? I didn't change the plan, they screwed up!!

      On December 19, 2024 I visited a Buckle Store in my area where I purchased a $50.00 giftcard.
      On January 19 I paid a payment of $35.00
      On January27 I received a bill that had charged me my payment plus a $30.00 late fee. I called CS on that day and informed them that I had paid a payment even before I received the bill and that if I was going to be charged a late fee then I would pay off the card and not use it again. The $30.00 late fee was removed and my due date was moved to the 25 of each month. I also received a letter stating that my due date had been changed and my next payment would be due March 25.
      On Feb. 27 I recieved a bill for $53.00 of which a $30.00 late fee had been added again. I called customer service again and was told that the February payment was late, that my bill was due Feb 7 and that the late fee would not be removed even though I had the letter in hand showing the due date as March 25. I told them that day to cancel my card, I would pay the $53.00 just to be finished with this company. I paid in full the $53.00 and assumed the account was closed. Today I recieved a final letter that they did close the account but have again charged me $25.00 for whatever reason.
      Since purchasing this $50.00 giftcard they have made me pay $88.00 and are asking for an additional $25.00.
      I feel I do not owe this since I was given the total and paid it off, and closed the account on Feb 27. I am asking that you investigate and tell me if I am required to pay again the additional $25.00

      A fraudulent card was opened under my name, i contacted ulta and comenity they said they would close the fraudulent account. Its been closed and removed from my credit report. I have a ulta rewards account that does not reflect the credit card charges they made with the fraudulent card. Yet, even after the credit bureaus told me the ulta credit card was fraudulently opened. I keep receiving letters from comenity. They are harassing me for someone stealing my information.

      I called 12/27/24 to dispute this card and requested an investigation to how was it opened if I dont live anywhere near ******** and I was at school at the time preparing for graduation. I asked for surveillance cameras to be checked because it was not me. They can compare the images with images from dates I actually went to ultra. Another issue that transaction that opened that credit card it does not show up in my ultra rewards account under my revolutionm7 email account. That person either used a different rewards account or used neither which I dont understand how they applied for a credit card and shopped without using a rewards account.

      if I flagged this account as fraudulent and it was closed how am I getting late payments reports in March?

      My problem is that I paid my balance off in full on February 16, 2025 entirely and Victorias Secret Comenity Bank has send me another bill because of interest. I paid my bill off entirely and how can they send me another bill of interest my due date is on February 19, 2025, My question is how many customers have they ******* them out of money for paying off full balances and still charging interest in which they paid before the due date in full. There is no explanation for this you cant be justifiable to this is a scheme for paying off full balances. They have already credit me back for a refund but this should never happen on full balances pay off on accounts.
