Consumer complaint received 2023-12-07
Product: Prepaid card — General-purpose prepaid card
Issue: Unexpected or other fees — 
Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (ID)

In XXXX XXXX, we had a refrigerator die while we were out of town. We had extended warrantee coverage through XXXX, who covered the cost to replace the refrigerator ( ~ {$1800.00} ) and the lost contents ( {$260.00} ). To resolve this coverage, XXXX sends the money to Bank of America, who issues me prepaid debit cards. I did not ever activate the cards and they were displaced for awhile during some construction we were doing. I never noticed that the cards had different expiration dates : one of the cards expired XX/XX/XXXX ( {$260.00} ) and the other expires XX/XX/XXXX. I went to use the cards yesterday and found that one of them did not work - the one that expired XX/XX/XXXX. 
When I called B of A, they advised me that once this particular card expired, the account is close and the monies are forfeited. There was no notification sent to me advising that the card was about to expire and I would forfeit the funds. There is small print on the card that advises of this policy, but it is on one card and not the other. BofA never contacted me about the cards being received or why they had not been activated. This is all information they would have in their databank. 
I can not imagine that this is legal. That a bank could take money ( which does not expire ) from XXXX, and send to me in a form that expires, whereupon the bank can keep the money. It is akin to theft.

My elderly mother received a letter in the mail from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX about a debt that she didn't even know was for. They never told her what exactly it was for when they called several times. She went to the ER a few nights later and spent 3 nights in ICU ( its on record ) and she got home and they still kept calling her. She told them she was in the hospital and they didn't seem to care. They wanted their payment immediately and insisted she give them her routing and checking number. I feel like we should have rights to stop them from bothering while in such poor health.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement — Card was charged for something you did not purchase with the card
Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc. (NC)

I am writing to complain about the practices of Comenity Bank, owned by Bread Financial, which issues consumer credit cards for XXXX, Talbots, and other retailers. 

1 ) I opened a Talbots store credit card sometime in XXXX per Comenity 's records, when I was residing at Address # XXXX. Despite multiple requests in writing and via telephone, I never received the card. I have spoken to numerous customer service representatives over the years who apologize and commit to sending me a card, but I have still never received a card. 
2 ) In XX/XX/XXXX, I moved to Address # XXXX. 
3 ) At some point in the last few months, someone apparently made a purchase at a Talbots either using the card I have never received, or by claiming they were me. Talbots apparently allows people to make credit purchases without presenting the card, which is an incredibly poor security practice. I suspect they do this because Comenity regularly doesn't mail cards to people. 
4 ) Comenity has been harassing me for months over this purchase, despite never sending me a Talbots credit card after approval and claiming it has been sent.
