THEY HAVE REPORTED AN ACCOUNT THAT I HAVENT AUTHORIZED AND THEY WILL NOT RESPOND TO MY MESSAGES, GIVE ME A COPY OF THE CONTRACT, OR TELL ME WHO IS INDEED RESPONSIBLE FOR OPENING THIS ACCOUNT UNDER MY NAME, THEY KEEP GIVING ME THE RUN-AROUND EVERY TIME I CALL THEM TO GET ANSWERS.

      Comenity has charged me late fees for three months in a row. I send payment from my bank 2 weeks in advance of my due date however comenity holds on to the check 1 to 2 days after my due date and then charges me late fees. My bank tells me when the check is delivered which indicates comenity is holding on to my check past the due date.

      On 8/23/2024 my husband and I purchased 2 BROYHILL LEATHER WELLSLEY recliners. One of the recliners is faulty. It is NOT a manual feet lift. It has a push button on the right side of the recliner to make the chair go into a recliner position or down position. Around 2 weeks ago , I was going to recline and the chair went up and then stopped while still trying to recline. I pushed the button on the side of the chair and it would not go up or down. It was frozen in that position ( half up & half down. My husband paid $ ****** for EACH recliner. Now one chair is inoperable and it isnt even a year old and $ *****& is a lot of money for me to lose on a chair that I cant use. Some Big Lots (rumor) has gone out of business, however, some have not. I want an exchange or my money back. I am requesting either refund or exchange.

      BBB NOTE: Consumer filed a new complaint online that was flagged for review as a possible duplicate complaint.  BBB Complaint Acceptance guidelines do not allow your BBB to validate additional or duplicate complaints from the same consumer against the same company involving the same account or marketplace issues, as we report both the number and nature of the complaints that we process.  


      We have closed the duplicate complaint and copied the additional information submitted and we have manually posted it to the original complaint case below. Based upon this new information we are resuming BBB **************************** We appreciate the patience and understanding of the parties.  

       
       
      I purchased 2 ********************************** recliners on 8/23/24 from Big Lots in ******, Tx. One recliner stopped working about 2 weeks ago. The button on the right side of the recliners arm doesnt work anymore, therefore, the foot rest wont go back down. It has been said that Big Lots closed down. I still need a new recliner or a refund. $865 is too much to loose and Big Lots needs to fix this issue. I dont care if they are closed ( some stores in other ***** cities are still operating. Please help. I would also be satisfied with a refund.

      My complaint is my **** seems to never go down, I talked with them, and they say I was behind a month. I need to catch up, so I paid what they asked, and my **** seems to still not go down but going up. I never would get it paid off like that.

      I purchased a generator on 10/24/2024 and financed throught comenity bank dba bread pay in the amount of $800.36. Payments are ***** per month for 24 months at *****% APR. On February 28, 2025 I mailed them a check from my mortgage company in the amount of $727.76 to pay off the loan. Weeks went by and it wasn't credited to my account. I called my mortgage company ******************* **************, and they stated the check was deposited and cleared into their account. I called Bread Pay and they stated that they didn't accept checks and it was being returned to me but when I told them that I knew it had been deposited they said a supervisor would call me within 2 days. That has neve happened. It was deposited on March 12, 2025 to account number ********** to ********************* Box Number ***** Account of Payee - W/O Prejudice. I would like my loan paid off as it is very predatory and I just consolidated all my debt. The current payoff is $675.77.

      I am writing to formally dispute the account referenced under account number ********* that appears on my ********************** report. This account was opened without my authorization and constitutes fraudulent activity. I have no recollection of applying for or consenting to any agreement with CCB/ULTAUnder 15 USC 1692g (Validation of Debts), you are required to provide verification of the debt or a copy of the judgment if I notify you in writing within *************************************************** documentation proving that I consented to this account. Without a valid, legally binding agreement bearing my signature, there is no basis for this account to exist under my name.Since this account was established fraudulently, I request its immediate removal from my credit report and that any collection activity cease. If you cannot provide proper validation within 30 days, you are required to delete this account from my record and stop further collection efforts.Please confirm receipt of this letter and notify me of the next steps to resolve this matter.

      I was supposed to be signed up a hardship payment plan with lending club solutions through Comenity and never was. They were supposed to have automatic payments setup for 12 months and then my normal payments were supposed to resume. So while I thought I was ok I was actually being charged an additional $37 a month fees along with interest. Now they wont work with me to pay off the balance. I have called several times every time I call Im told that they dont have record of any of the past calls where I discussed thisinformation with them. I dont know how you dont have record of someone being signed up for a hardship program. There are over $300 in fees on the account and I just want them removed so I can pay the balance in full.

      I have reviewed my credit report on my capital one card. I noticed my credit score kept going down and I couldnt figure it out. It says that I have had a Comenity capital bank credit card since January and I am a month late on a payment. This is not true I have never had a credit card with this bank or any branches under it. I would like this to be resolved so my credit score can go back to normal. Please get back to me soon I want to know if I should worry about identity theft.

      ****** ********** ************************************** March 31 2024 Subject: Formal Complaint Against Comenity Capital Bank children place Unfair Fees on Closed Account Dear *********** am filing a formal complaint against Comenity Capital Bank regarding an unfair and recurring charge on my closed account. Below are the details of my complaint:In November 2024, a store representative failed to process a return correctly, leading to incorrect charges on my account.I paid off the balance in full last month (March 2025) and closed my account, expecting no further charges.However, a $3 interest charge was never removed, and my account has continued to incur additional fees, now totaling $37.Despite contacting multiple supervisors at Comenity Capital Bank, I have been told there is nothing they can do since the account is closed.The banks lack of assistance and continued charges on a closed and paid-off account are unjust and unfair.I am requesting the following actions be taken:Removal of the $37 in unjust fees that have been applied to my closed account.Correction of any negative reporting to my credit history as a result of these unfair charges.A formal review of Comenity Capital Banks practices to ensure they are not improperly charging other customers in similar situations.I have made multiple attempts to resolve this matter directly with the bank, but they have refused to assist me. I would appreciate your intervention in resolving this issue.Please let me know the next steps or any additional information you may need. Thank you for your time and assistance.Sincerely,****** ********** ************ ***********************
