Consumer complaint received 2017-08-14 00:00:00
Product: Credit card or prepaid card — Store credit card
Issue: Fees or interest — Charged too much interest
Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
As of XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I owed XXXX XXXX, dba Comenity Bank {$450.00}. On XXXX XXXX, XXXX I paid them {$300.00} although my payment was n't due until XXXX XXXX, XXXX. The mortgage company that I am working with to buy a home required that I pay this account in full so on XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I paid the remaining {$140.00}, still days before the due date. Since they did n't show the now {$0.00} balance on my online statement we had a three way call with someone from Comenity Bank along with myself and someone from my mortgage company to confirm that I had a XXXX balance. A few days later I go to check and see if the online statement now reflects a XXXX balance and instead I see a balance of {$6.00} which was added to my account a week AFTER I paid this account in full. When I questioned it this is the response I received from Comenity Bank : " Your question in regards to the interest charge is understandable. On your previous statement, we informed you of an update to your Credit Card Agreement ( CCA ). This notification was to inform you that beginning on your next statement, purchases made outside a Grace Period would be assessed trailing interest resulting in a finance charge after the balance is paid in full. Interest is charged from the transaction date until the balance is paid in full. Since interest is calculating until the date the payment is received, you will receive a statement for the interest charged in the previous billing cycle. If you pay the trailing interest finance charge statement by the due date, you will not be assessed finance charges during that bill cycle the following month. '' Keep in mind that I had not made any purchases at XXXX XXXX in months and also I, like many people these days, pay my bill online. While I do receive a " paper bill '', I do n't even look at it as I know when my payment is due and I pay it days before it is due so they slipped in this " trailing interest '' without me knowing about it. I feel it is completely unethical for any company to do this especially when they have already charged the consumer over 20 % interest. While this {$6.00} does n't affect me financially, I feel it is an underhanded practice and should be investigated. Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Complaint narrative:
Around XX/XX/XXXX. All my remaining derogatory accounts referencing my bankruptcy were purged. 5/3rd bank was the last one. All had exceeded the 7 year DOFD rule. about a month latter ( XX/XX/XXXX ) I noticed that this creditor had changed the information on an account previously listed in good standing to discharged in bankruptcy. This account had been listed as closed as of the day of my bankruptcy. In reality it was closed 5 years prior. Why did they suddenly start reporting this account back in XXXX. I now know. It seems that they were aware that that my accounts included in the bankruptcy were over 2 years old when I filed limiting their reporting to 5years. They hedged their reporting by letting this account sit idol until it was the only thing left. They then started reporting the bankruptcy on that account. Upon contact they admitted it was wrong and after more than 6 weeks latter issued a letter of correction but they have not stopped reporting this account as included in bankruptcy. It corrects then a week latter its back again. The problem is that every time it re reports. My credit score drops 50 points, as the bureau thinks its a new bankruptcy. They appear to be correcting it but its still going on 3 months later. I have sent the bureaus a copy of their correction letter but they fail to investigate and it keeps re reporting.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX, I purchased four reloads of XXXX XXXX cards in the amount of {$500.00} each. Unfortunately, the first two reloads brought me to a $ XXXX monthly limit, and so Incomm did not load the remaining {$1000.00} cash into my XXXX account. Though Incomm makes it virtually impossible to reach them on the phone, I finally did, and was given an email address to send documentation. I did so on XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, Incomm send me another email, saying that they needed a utility bill. I do not understand why, if needed, that would not have been requested with the rest of the initial documentation, but I responded on XX/XX/XXXX with a copy of my electric bill. I have received no further communication from Incomm. They have stolen {$1000.00} from me and refused to refund it.

Company: Home Servicing LLC
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
The second lien on my property was sold to Home Servicing LLC in XXXX 2017 from XXXX XXXX XXXX. They did n't even have any account number assigned to my property until the middle of XX/XX/XXXX. I had a short sale approved with the first lienholder at the time XXXX XXXX, that told me they also were selling my first lien to XXXX who was to honor the short sale. I finally received communication from Home Servicing on X/X/17 stating that there investor required {$33000.00} to settle the 2nd lien of record. The previous holder of the second lien only wanted {$27000.00}! To no avail, I have had to restart the short sale process and I currently have a contract of sale. Another was made to the second lien holder but received no response from emails, calls, or priority mail delivered letters stating my wishes to pay for Satisfaction of Mortgage. However, I was told by XXXX they could allow for 10 % of the face value of the note which is {$85000.00} so they would only allow for {$8500.00} to be paid and shown on the HUD statement. This company has neither shown me that they purchased this note from XXXX XXXX XXXX nor have they recorded their assignment of mortgage with the County Clerk. The second lien has never proceed with a Foreclosure action and the note of record is well past the Statute of limitations. So any monies they get should be enough. Please advise as how can I get a Satisfaction or Lien release for this stagnant mortgage that clouds the title of the property.

Company: Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.
State: CT

Complaint narrative:
Date : XX/XX/XXXX Amount : {$930.00} Action : I called the credit card company to complain about this accrual interest charge on my account after I received my statement on XX/XX/XXXX when I had a pending balance of {$160.00} on my account. I was n't aware i was going to be charged this amount as I was informed when taking the card that if I had n't paid the total amount by the end of a promotional 18months period, I would be charged the interest for the remaining balance on the account. To my surprise, when i received my statement on XX/XX/XXXX, I saw a charge of {$930.00}. I have called Zales for complaint and try to resolve the issue, but the customer service offered to remove 50 % of the charge and I have to pay the other 50 %. However, I could n't understand why 50 % was offered and not everything, even considering that I have already fully paid off my account after seeing the amount charged. If I received my statement on the XX/XX/XXXX, showing the charge, I would have addressed the interest immediately but the customer agent could n't understand that apart from my statement where the disclaimer is hidden I would n't have know that the agent in the store that made me get the card was lieing to me. But, I get all sort of promotional emails weekly but I was never sent an exclusive mail of this interest charge to alert me. I wanted the agent to reverse the contentious charge but the agent kept telling me that if I do n't accept the charge immediately, I will never be given another option, even after telling the agent I needed time to think about the offer of resolution considering I was very dissatisfied with what had happened.
