I opened a Toyota Rewards Visa with Comenity Bank at the beginning of 2025. It promised a 5% reward for purchases and service at Toyota Dealerships. I spent a few thousand dollars having my car serviced but only received 1% in rewards. I spoke many times with their customer service. I was told many different things including - "**** ****** ** **** ***** ** is a valid dealership and I should have been given 5% rewards", "It was a glitch in their system and I would be reimbursed in a couple months", "I'll send it higher up and definitely get it rectified." - Nothing has been resolved. The customer service agents that helped me could only see sparse notes from the previous agents. I was not sent any emails advising they were working on it. I was finally told it would be addressed in 5 days (almost a month ago) and given a ticket number I could use in the future, but was later told it wasn't a valid ticket; Rather it was only an agents ID number.

*** had a AAA **** credit card for decades. A year or two ago, it was switched from *************** to Comenity (not my choice).
I pay off my balance monthly via an online draft from my checking account.
On December 1, 2024, I purchased a whole house generator and installation with my AAA **** for $11,250. I never received the generator, let alone the installation,
When several attempts failed to resolve the issue with the merchant, I filed a dispute with Comenity. I phoned them on March 25, 2025, and followed up with a letter and supporting documentation. Comenity requested more documentation, and I provided it.
Last week I received a letter informing me that they would not refund my money because I had already paid for it. That certainly seems off and contrary to the advertised advantages of using a credit card for the consumer protections a credit card provides.
I called **** and was told that paying off my balance monthly should have no effect on processing a chargeback in this situation. However, **** said that I have to go through Comenity Bank to get my money back.
So, Comenity Bank is not following ****s rules, they are not providing the consumer protections required by law, and they are effectively forcing me to take the merchant to court at great personal expense to get the refund to which I am entitled.

I received the attached from you this morning. I have heard NOTHING from Comenity Bank. No email, no message in my online Comenity account, no snail mail letter. This does not surprise me. This is a lying, unscrupulous, poorly managed company with "customer service" focused not on customers but on delays and inaction. That's why I asked you for help. In my humble opinion, they should be forced out of business. The fact that they told you they will get in touch with me is just another lie. IF (and that's a BIG IF) they get in touch with me, I'll let you know.

SUBJECT: COMENITY LATE PAYMENT CHARGE ERROR

I have made many calls to this company COMENITY CAPITAL BANK at ###-###-#### since january 2025, complaining to them about me having issues logging in into my account to make payment, which it was advise to me to change my password (I've changed my password multiples times), till 3/28/25, I kept getting the same message "Your detail don't match our records,
Please check that you've entered the correct username"
(REPRESENTATIVE ARE NOT HELPFUL & DON'T PROVIDE THE RIGHT TECHNICAL SOLUTIONS)

With the whole back & forth since January, February and March, none of the REPRESENTATIVES HELP and none of them OFFER to help me pay my bill thru the phone, but what ONE REPRESENTATIVE did do on MARCH 28, was to close my account and she said; to re apply again, in a way for her to help me be able to login, into my account (CONFUSING), on top of that COMENITY representative stated on her note, that I gave her the permission to close my Account? (LIES), (FOR HER TO COVER HERSELF, IN HER ERROR)

I also spoke and reported to the supervisor ***, the situations I was going through on 4/23/25, who was RUDE & LACKED COMMUNICATION.
The PROFESSIONALISM of this COMPANY is BAD, The REPRESENTATIVE & SUPERVISOR ARE BAD.

On May 5, 2025 wrote to this company, because out of nowhere, I received an April Statement, But for February, March no statement. I've been calling the company to help me retrieve my account, because I don't have a Children Place Store, close me.

It was wrong for this company to charge me LATE PAYMENT for JANUARY, MARCH, APRIL & MAY.

This company treated me & Handle Me, as a **Consumers** wrong, I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY TO NO ONE, THIS COMPANY HOLD NO ACCOUNTABILITY IN THEIR WRONG DOING.

So, now (COMENITY) on 5/28/25 at 8:35pm, decided to call me from ###-###-####, asking for payment of $63.00 for two LATE PAYMENTS FOR APRIL & MAY.

IN CASE THIS COMPANY DARES TO CHARGE ME ANOTHER $30 FOR JUNE, I AM DISPUTING.

My new Unity-HR credit card, by Comenity Capital Bank, showed my first month's total payment of $1,293.07 was due on 5/13/25.
I had my bank, Newfield Natl Bank, send out a payment for the full amount, $1,293.07 to Comenity Capital Bank on 5/6/25.
My second statement showed a $30 late fee and a processing date of 5/15/25. I called Comenity and told them that my bank either wire transferred the payment to them in which case they sat on the payment for 9 days before processing it, or my bank mailed the payment to Comenity in which case they sat on the payment for 7 days before processing it.
Either way, I wanted this fee reversed because my bank got the payment out 9 days before it was due.
They refused. They offered a "one time courtesy" to reverse $15. That is not sufficient. There is no reason I should be paying $.01 for their inefficiency.

On December 16, 2024 my bank sent a check (#*****) for 2,732 dollars which would've been the remaining balance on the account to Comenity Bank. The check was sent back on December 30, 2024 stating that the check was sent back due to the full account number not being on the check. The same check was remailed on January 10, 2025 and cleared ***** ********* ****** *****'s account on January 27, 2025.
During the remailing time, there was an interest charge which got added to the account.
I have filed disputes with Comenity Bank to which they will not rectify this situation. They have no record of ever sending the check back to which I emailed them confirmations of everything. I have been hung up on while talking to their customer care representatives and mishandled through every step of this dispute. This has now caused my credit to go from 735 to a 626 due to missed payments (I never missed a payment before)
I have been on military duty to which I also told them so I was unable to send them evidence for several months.

We paid our Big Lots card off in March. They sent a bill in the amount of $4.75. They continue to send bills even though the card has been paid off in full. I called them this morning and I did not get anywhere with them. I would like for them to stop sending me bills for a card that has been paid off.

I did pay in full my bill at **********. My balance was $0.00 on November. I just received a bill on my email saying I owed $60.00.
When I called them on May 24th 2025, the first one I spoke to said it was from late fee, insurance, and we never paid for 5 months. We told them our balance was at 0.00.We spoke to a second one she said at the end of the billing cycle there was a $5.00 interest rate we did not pay.
As we said before it was paid in full. We spoke to the supervisor she said it was for insurance in the card and we did not have insurance on it. Why we should be paying on a card with $0.00 balance?
We need some help with that credit card.

I paid my balance off in full last September 2024. I haven't used the card in about a year. I thought I had a zero balance. They claim that there was a late fee and transaction fee. I had a zero balance on the account and every time I thought the balance was at zero, they charged me a late fee and interest fees. The person I just spoke with said that she can offer a $15 credit on the $43 late fee that they are charging. I have been paying these fees repeatedly based on when I get my statement. I am unemployed and refuse to pay another dime. I have paid roughly six hundred dollars over this past year on an account wherein I haven't made any purchases and had paid the full amount last September. The last payment was made on the third of this month. They are saying it was due on the first and are charging me $43 for that. I spoke with Mr. *****, whose ID number is ****. He stated that he can see where I pay it off a day or two late and am charged the late fee and interest fee, He applied a $15 credit and stated that the $28 balance is due on June 1 and provided me with the number for the hardship department.

Date of Transactions: 02-07-2025 (I bought 3 pairs of **** shoes for $77.08 in Academy.
On 02-15-2025 I returned 2 pairs of ****. They refunded me $46.24. Promised me that I will receive my billl of remains $30.89 in the mail. I never receive it.
On 05-19-2025, a letter from Comenity Bank stating that my account was closed due to "recent delinquency" This was a shock to me. Immediately, I contact Academy, Representative ******* told me that my total balance is $103.89. But don't worry that he would like to help me by giving me a waive on Late Fees, but only if I paid the total of $43.00 right away. But he refused to give me a written confirmation. After I insisted to talk to his manager, *******, according to her, ******* has no right to waive all Late Fees. $43.00 is only the minimum payment. Despite it, she still unwilling to show me my bill and advised me go to my email if I want me to see it. I didn't find any email from Academy (but we successfully entered my account in Academy's}.
After studying my bills: We have 3 major concerns:
1. Paper Statement were never sent, despite Academy policy stating "the customers with past-due accounts would still receive paper statements." I never receive any, which directly contributed to the problem. {Details in Attachment 1}
2. A $30.87 purchase on 02-19-2025 was mounted to $103.87 on 05-19-2025. The customer care department try to fool me by twisting the minimum payment of $43.00 as settlement figure, that was due to lack of transparency and pressure to "pay now" scam. (Academy should have the telephone recording record.)
3. A $5.98 credit balance disappeared without explanation. In March's statement, it was listed as "Other Debt/ Refund". But I never receive this $5.98, where did it go? (See attachment 2a & 2b)

I am very disappointed on Academy failed to uphold their policy on sending paper statement if the account became past due. Only if I receive even one paper statement, this issue would not happen.
