Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account information incorrect

Consumer Complaint: I purchased my dog on XX/XX/XXXX from XXXX Bank since then I have been paying my monthly statements on time and in full. As of yesterday, XX/XX/XXXX I received a credit monitoring alert stating I was over my credit limit by {$260.00} with above creditor and reported to XXXX. My credit plunged by XXXX points. I immediately called the creditor and they advised I was on a " promotion plan '' and if the account was not paid in full by XX/XX/XXXX I would be charged additional interest. They increased my account from {$4700.00} to now {$6500.00}. There was a small box stating my plan would expire and be charged if not paid in full. I was unaware of any of these charges and how what the amount would be. When I called yesterday the Agent said there was nothing they could do since it was on my statement. I called in XXXX about this little box and the Agent advised I would be charged an additional max of {$70.00} to XXXX per month. NOT total interest for a year of {$1800.00}. As a consumer I feel this should have been explained to me back in XXXX or XXXX so I could have other options. I paid the {$260.00} today, although not due until XX/XX/XXXX. I feel a detailed letter should have been sent prior to the creditor reporting my account over the limit. Unjustified.

Issue: Improper use of your report

Subissue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Consumer Complaint: It should be against the law to have a creditor reduce your credit line. Please realize that this causes a domino effect to our credit! A higher utilization leads to lower credit scores, which other lenders could perceive as an increase in risk and lower the limit of other cards that a consumer has. Im going to reach out to an attorney to see if this can be a cause for a class action lawsuit. This should be prohibited!!!!

Issue: Closing your account

Subissue: Company closed your account

Consumer Complaint: - I use credit reporting services including XXXX, XXXX XXXX and XXXX, all of which reported on XX/XX/XXXX that the company had closed my account. - I never received ANY notification or email or mail about this from the company/bank itself. - I have never been late on any payments on the {$6000.00} limit XXXX visa credit card issued by Comenity Bank, and my credit utilization has never been above 12 %. - I had a credit inquiry by XXXX just before the comenity credit card was closed. - Upon calling the customer service, they first told me they'd refer me to the XXXX XXXX agency that informed them of the change in my credit report when I asked them the reason for my account closure. I asked them if the reporting agency made the decision on closing the account, and they simply hung up. - I called back a second time, and this time they transferred me to a phone line for a different company altogether. - This company is predatory in its promotional practices and entices users with rewards programs, while not providing any necessary communication or explanations for their outsourced customer service which doesn't seem to have anything beyond XXXX lines of script.

Issue: Fees or interest

Subissue: Problem with fees

Consumer Complaint: I have an account with ComenityXXXX XXXX XXXX A few months ago, I obtained a bill consolidation loan and paid them off. After that, I ignored all their correspondence because I had no need to contact them. I usually ignore all unknown callers because I get so many bogus call about car warranty, etc. On one day, I answered and it was Comenity Bank telling me that I owed {$140.00}. When I protested, they said that I had not included my late fee in the payoff so I had accrued more interest and late fees. On top of that, they are still charging me for XXXX insurance. I contacted the XXXX XXXX XXXX I waited for a letter from Comenity addressing my issue. Instead, I got another bill. They had now dropped the bill down to the original late fee and charges to {$45.00}. But, they added another late fee, interest and {$1.00} for insurance, for a total of {$89.00}. How can it be fair business practice to charge interesr and late fees on late fees. I might not have been as upset about the original late fee, saved myself grief and paid it. However, they did the same exact thing to my husband about three years ago. He paid it off, then they hounded him about an accumulation of late charges and fees til he finally paid them over {$200.00} to get them off his back. He died one year ago today so, of course, I can't ask him to get more details together for you. I want this account to be wiped clean, taken off my credit report and closed once and for all.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed

Subissue: Debt was paid

Consumer Complaint: This is the SECOND time that I am sending this letter. I sent the original letter on XX/XX/2022. ( see below ) Since the original letter, I have been a victim of IDENTITY FRAUD from this company. An account was made in my name with this company 's name attached to it. It was an additional account ( a mortgage account ) that I had no idea of. I was told because of this error, that as a courtesy, any accounts from this company shall be removed from my credit report. Either way it is still reporting. So you can either remove it without further incident or you can adhere to the bottom portion of this letter. I will also be filing this letter as a complaint to the CFPB and if I do not have this company removed from my credit report within the next 14 days, I will be forced to file a complaint with the FTC. Original letter that I have yet to get a response to that was sent last year : I am sending this certified letter because I have noticed that there is a charge off or a debt in collections on my credit report from your company ( Acct numbers XXXX ), however, I have never received a Schedule C form for that specific charge off. By law that can be considered taxable income per IRS literature and I can be penalized for not reporting it. I am requesting this form so that I can have all legal documentation in my records if I need to provide it to the IRS.
