Our aaa credit card thru Comenity Bank has always been a problem twice in the past year they failed to credit our account and charged us late fees both times we sent them copies of our cancelled checks and it was then credited back to our account . I complained to AAA and they said they there had many other AAA members that paid thru online bank paying have been having the same issue. And Comenity bank has ruined our credit rating.
Claimed loss: I just want my reputation back.
Desired outcome: Comenity Bank contact Experian Credit and withdraw their false information`. C
credit card loaded with $5000. deceptive practice
we got had by people that work on your behalf in Las Vegas. all underdress. we were told its not a time share, it is most definitely is a time share. We tried to cancel but they never answerd their phone calls . numerous emails, left messages, were all ignored. and phone number they gave us is disconnected. i feel maybe you should look into this. it's nothing you did rest assured of that. I find they were not professional at all. they talked about all the prisons he was in and seemed to be proud of being a gang member and the guns he owns. The whole ordeal just gave us an uneasy feeling. I sure hope you can help us we can't afford to have my credit harmed for this Thank you in advance

Billing practices
I paid this account in full in March of 2023 I returned a bit late from a trip when I did my last payment. The automated system for their pay by phone did not indicate that I was late. I received a bill in May with 2 late fees I called them and I told them to close the account. They continued to add a late fee after late fee and interest on top of the late fee. I have had the worst experience with this bank. The thing is I did not have a balance and their unfair practices have ruined my credit.
Claimed loss: Negative adverse credit rating dropped from 700's to 630
Desired outcome: For this charge off to be removed from my credit report
Dell recent switch to comenity bank
I have seen many complaints regarding this. Recently Dell switched their financial accounts to Comenity bank it was an utter and complete mess! I got one notice in the mail with less than 30 days notice of the switch with no information on how that was going to roll out. I finally got a paper bill in the mail stating I was a month late and they applied a...

Comenity Capital bank recently took over Dell Preferred Credit accounts. The account transfer process is a fiasco. Comenity sent new account numbers via USPS but, for many of us, the mail never showed up before payments were due and the not yet receive account number is needed to sign up for online access. To infuriate customers even further Comenity sent...
Read full review of Comenity and 3 commentsAccess to make payments online
With both my Lane Bryant account and Academy account, I can never get access to make my payment online. I start fighting your website 2-3 days before my payment is due and end up paying on the day it is due.
My bank takes it out the next day and you charge me a late fee.
This is the poorest excuse of customer service I have experienced. This has been going on for several months and I have not seen any improvement.
It is hard to pay off my comenity accounts and cut my credit cards so I don't have to deal with this frustration, when you keep adding fraudulent charges to my accounts.
Desired outcome: I would like a response and an explaination as to how and when this problem will be corrected. I would also like to discuss the extra charges on my accounts and have them removed.
NFL points credit card
Per the agreement of signing up with the card they offer a $100 statement credit if you spend $500 within the first 90 days on items outside of the NFL and then they are suppose to issue you the $100 after 90 days and its been 7 months and I still have nothing! I call every week and its the same story we are working on it and we are sorry. You owe me the statement credit as I did my part per the agreement. AWFUL CARD
Desired outcome: I want the $100 and I also want some sort of compensation for every month you have not given me the statement credit
I'm having a problem with getting my Rewards Points. I used my card to pay for my season tickets this past May, but they have never given me the Rewards Points that I earned with that purchase. I was given the run-around for the delay initially--they said I had to go through two billing cycles before that could give me the points--but that never happened. I send messages to them constantly, but I keep getting the same response. I filed the "grievance" but that gives them 120 days to come to a decision. It's been 60 days already. By the time they come to a decision the balance on my account will be paid off, and I won't have anything left to put those rewards points towards. I'll have to use the card. I don't really want to ever do that again. I used it initially to let me spread out the payments for my tickets, but I wanted a little off of my balance with the rewards points--it would have saved me about $150. No a lot, but something. I will never use this card again to pay for my season tickets. It's not worth all of the aggravation it has caused me. I would like to report them to someone, but I don't know who to report them to. Don't sign up for this card. Barclay did a far SUPERIOR job when they ran the show!
AAA Visa Card
When Comenity/ Bread Financial took over my credit card I did not receive a bill for months. I started receiving late notices and no bill. I would call them and they would tell me my payment was past due.
I finally received one bill a week after the late notice came. Since February I have not received any bills or late notices.
Now I see they have hit my credit claiming I am 90+ days late.
Desired outcome: I want them to remove any lates from my credit and I will pay them off and close the account. Worst customer service ever!
My rewards with comenity capital bank on my AAA visa.
Late summer of 2022, I received a letter from bank of America informing me that my AAA visa is switching from bank of America to comenity capital bank. Nothing would change and I would not lose my current rewards. I called bank of America to check on my rewards and they told me I had $681.56 that was near expiration and they sent that check. That check wa...

Read full review of ComenityVictoria secret card being closed for no valid reason
I dont use this card a whole lot. Probably only 2 or three times a year and always pay balance off early. I recieved a letter saying they were closing my account due to inactivity or my due to my credit score report. I messaged online to appeal the discion because I have 100 % payment ontime history for the past few years and have used my card responsibly . My account was still closed and I'm worried it's going to hurt my credit score that I've worked so hard to raise these past 8 years. This is just a terrible way to treat good customers.
Desired outcome: Credit reinstated so it doesn't hurt my score and if any negative remarks made the be removed
Credit card was closed due to inactivity
To Whom It May Concern, I am emailing this to you as I have been in contact with two representatives on July 29, 2023 & July 30, 2023) regarding the above matter. I have been informed that my card cannot be reactivated. I'm very upset as I was told by one of your representatives, Zach, that two letters prior to the third and final letter closing my account...

Promotion
I had a promotion through Jared jewelers a last June 2022.. I paid my balance each month and new the promo ended at the end of June. I could not access my account to see what date it was due. I couldn’t get into transactions, called a few times, no help. They told me big Red lines were shown across the transaction page to alert me the promo was ending. But I could not access the transactions so I didn’t know the date. I also believed the date was changed because jewelry was being returned to be fixed again n again. I was charged $500 and disputed the charge they said no and are continuing to charge interest also. Please advise. I have excellent credit. I’ve never had a late payment in my 70 years. Thank you
Desired outcome: Erase $500 promotional fee
Autopay services
I have 5 different accounts that all have autopay set up. They keep saying the bank declined the charges, twice each month and hitting me with late fees and over the limit fees. My bank has no record of them ever presenting any charges. The money is there! It has impacted my credit negatively and I’m furious. I have thrown my hands in the air and now the problem is so bad I can’t afford to get the accounts current.
I have talked to customer service, including supervisors, to no avail. I have written emails and even contacted the BBB about this practice.
And I’m forced to pay late fees and over the limit fees because there is clearly an issue with their payment center. HELP!
Desired outcome: Refund of all fees and fix the situation, I’ll be happy to pay what I actually charged!
Credit cards (alphaeon)
What a nightmare! Never buying anything from LaserAway again via this company and staying away from Laseraway PERIODT because anyone going into business with this company has terrible judgment. Not only do they make it IMPOSSIBLE to pay them, once you actually manage to create an account online, not a SINGLE payment method words. Not the minimum payment...
Read full review of ComenityKay jewelers credit account
Resorting to complaints or 3rd party validation sources is not typically my preferred course of action. However I have exhausted every reasonable effort to resolve concerns with Comenity : Kay Jewelery and continue to get the runaround.
Account was to have minimums reset for April to $o payments $44 monthly no interest no late fees.
Company failed to correct costing me thousands in lost credit through their unethical reporting as late for not just April but May June and July as well none of which physically or fiscally impossible as I paid $110 am not due until 21 and they advised repeatedly they remove all lates and past due this never happened now clearance flagged and home loan approval on hold
They ignored arbitration and legal requests entirely
Desired outcome: Immediately remove all lates from credit correct monthly payment to $44 apply credit for the thousands you cost me
