Worst experience ever. If possible, I would have given them minus stars. I had a AAA credit card thru Bank of America and never had any issue. Last month AAA start using Comenity bank and my nightmare started. first call yesterday, I hanged up after 15 minutes of wait. Second call today, waited for 40 minutes (I took a screen shot of my phone which shoes 51 minutes and 46 seconds for one simple call). Finally it was picked up but customer service person could not hear me. I had to shout all the time and had to repeat every thing 5 times. Finally I was told that I will be receiving my new AAA card within 7 to 10 business days. Instead of dealing with this ridicules BS service, I will be cancelling my AAA card as soon as I will receive my new card or first bill with my new account number. read more

Cy credit card company of 20 years switched from BOA to Comenity. I wanted to set up automatic payment, and called five ties, wasted 4 hours and was not able to do this as of this date. They suggested I pay by check, but -- I do not have to pay by check with ANY OTHER CREDIT CARD. No representative I spoke with was able to speak clearly without a heavy accent, their customer service must be sourced from foreign countries/ read more

This company handles the retail credit card for Pottery Barn and is immensely frustrating to deal with. I've been a cardholder for over 10 years and today I completely lost it because I have a large "rewards" for over $2000. I applied it to an order, however the items are not being shipped until a week after my statement closing date so they said just go ahead and pay it and then you will have a credit balance?! Um, why should I be giving my cash to you so you can collect interest on it and wait for a refund when it should be deducted immediately when I make the purchase. Currently at 5 phone calls with all different customer service agents who can't help me and just keep transferring me to "someone" who knows how to do this and "can" help me. Sweet jesus, do yourself a favor and just use an airline miles or hotel points credit card and run like hell from any of these dept. store brands. I have been satisfied up until now, but am considering closing this account after this debacle. Poor customer service. Over an hour of my time wasted and NO RESOLUTION. I see why people wish they could leave negative stars. read more

My credit card was issued one month ago and already I find that I can't sign in to make a payment because they are having "problems with the website." I go around and around because each step of the way asks me to confirm my identity to get to the next step, but I never get to the actual website. Just stay away if you can. read more

I paid my credit card on time, and they are trying to access a late fee. Now they have reported to credit agencies. I have a very high credit rating. Please do not use this company. Dishonest. read more

I have a credit card serviced by Comenity Bank. About a year ago I made a purchase but never received a bill so I went into the store to pay it. Time went by and I made another purchase in the $25.00 range. I took the time to update all of my contact information and thought, "Ah! That explains why I never received my bill before!" Life went on and I forgot all about it. I now see that they have reported me to the credit bureau for non payment but THEY HAVE NEVER SENT A BILL. NOT ONE!!! I now believe that Comenity Bank is running a SCAM!! read more

For several years I was receiving paper statements from Comenity for my Woman Within account. I always pay with a money order because I don't have a bank account. Last month I received an email saying "thank you for going paperless", I never asked to go paperless EVER! I called right away and the guy even wrote on my WW account about wanting paper. That didn't work. So for 2 months, I have called about 5 times trying to get a paper statement but I can't get it thru the thick skull of the person at Comenity Bank that I want that paper statement. One tells me to go to the WW website and put in for a paper statement...yeah right. There is NO place on that website that even mentions paper or paperless. I just called again and the guy tells me he fixed it so I will get paper from now on...yeah and I have a bridge to sell!!! Comenity Bank really sucks and they are screwing WW out of a paying customer because I am paying OFF my account and will NEVER buy from WW again...of course, I need that paper statement to do that. Oh, and while I'm complaining..why do I have to push "1" to hear in English and why can't I get someone that speaks better English? read more

Comenity Bank is the credit issuing company behind several online clothing retailers such as WomanWithin, Roaman's, Jessica London and more, and just now while trying to find their address I discovered that apparently they issue a Mastercard -I didn't know that- In any case, they have the crappiest CS in the world! Unless you have an active account. I had gotten into a financial crisis, turned to a debt relief program (which I reviewed) and Comenity dba WomanWithin and Roaman's was the first creditor I paid off, and they sent me a nice letter, basically saying thanks for paying us, you can have another account when you're ready. Liars They kept sending me "Come Back" catalogs and when I finally felt financially secure enough, I tried to buy something.. only to find that my account has been frozen and none of the 800# reps had the authority to reinstate me; so I wrote a letter to Comenity detailing the issue.. eventually I got a return letter saying oh that's too bad, call this number and they can help. Long story short, no matter WHAT number I called, nobody had the authority to reinstate me and despite writing to Comenity several times, they kept giving me the same numbers to call. So enough is enough. Yes they give credit very easily but if you experience any kind of problems.. no personalized assistance. I really hate when a company outsources bcuz then the reps invariably have heavy accents, they don't understand you and you can't understand them. read more

*********PLEASE READ IN IT'S ENTIRETY********* Last year I decided to start adding credit to my portfolio and requested credit cards from Comenity Bank. After some denials as well as approvals, I've been racially, maliciously and vindictively targeted by them to essentially RUIN all of my credit & my credit history! This credit card company have not only fraudulent business practices, but they intentionally set out to ruin credit primarily for African Americans. The lies that they've told are unsurmountable! I'll post pictures once I get legal permission it's ok! They pulled my credit on THE SAME DAY and MANUALLY typed in different fabricated score each time...ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT LETTERS! Then they denied me "certain" credit cards with 1 score HOWEVER, ISSUED CARDS with an even LOWER SCORE! I have recorded calls of them lying to me as they've admitted to stealing money out of my bank account to make additional payments WITHOUT MY CONSENT. They even lowered my limits on 7 out of 8 cards to PURPOSELY inflict harm by increasing my utilization to make me appear risky to other lenders/creditors! They've also CANCELLED/REVERSED MY ON TIME PAYMENTS just to collect additional fees and the most interesting thing about ALL OF IT IS... I HAVE RECORDED CALLS AND LETTERS TO PROVE EVERYTHING I JUST STATED & THIS IS WHY I'M SEEKING LEGAL ACTION ON ALL 9 OF MY CARDS...SEPERATELY! DON'T GET CREDIT FROM THEM! read more

You have been warned this is an incredibly shady and unethical company, read reviews frl Hundreds Of websites and thousands of customers they have been a nightmare to deal with from the beginning. We even filed a complaint with the district attorney and are looking to file a class action lawsuit. Their website is always down and even when it's "up and running" your username and password will say "no account exists" their Homs times over the phone are 1.5 hours to 2 hours. Last time I asked for a manager the woman who goes by the name "robin" accused me of being a condescending liar because I told her I've had multiple issues and that the previous manager told me it's been happening to a lot of customers. Their systems also will tell you "your ach payment is all set up" or "a payment has been made" you'll even receive an email confirmation thinking it has to find our weeks later that nothing was ever set up, I confirmed this wrong information from a manager who also told me that they were secretly going to increase our credit card interest rate to 15-30 percent despite us being 18-year customer with AAA and she also stated that several customers weren't even notified that their credit card had been sold off to this shady business. Not only having abusive managers take phone calls and long wait times but you can't even make credit payments unless you pay their $9 fee over the phone after waiting 1.5hours-2 hours. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. Off load your balance to another company and never ever look back. They also go by the name "bread financial" read more

They handle my credit cards and there are Very helpful people on the phone I would recommend them to any one read more

I was notified by mail that someone applied for a credit card using my name. I called the phone number listed 866-899-6319 and waited 20 minutes with no pick up. I called the next day and waited 15 minutes, again with no pick up. I went to their website, and there's no way I can report fraud that way either. Now I will write a letter to Comenity Bank and pray to God someone responds. read more

Had identity theft problems. I have my credit blocked / frozen. An attempt was made to open a Sony Visa credit card account in my name. Card was denied by my Experian account.

Last week, attempted to make a payment online - got an error message about the system being down. I attempt to call and after navigating through the system, got a long winded message about the system being "down" and it says "call back at a later time" and drops the call. So because I want to be sure that my bill is paid ontime, I head to the store to pay my express bill. (There were a few others who were doing the same so that we did not incur late fees or unecessary interest) I check online to see if the system had been updated a few days later, still could not log in. Finally today, 1 week later, I was able to log in BUT it ONLY shows the payment I had made 2 weeks prior AND they also charged interest. I saw online that they would waive late fees, but they also need to waive any interest that accrued on those accounts. Why should they make any money off of their own system issues?? Why would consumers have to pay for that? Are they updating their systems because they were bought by Bread FInancial. You would think that this would be high priority for them to fix - according to the store cashier LAST week, this has been going on "for at least weeek" . Get it together. Where is my money? read more

Dealing with the creditor is a nightmare. The payment app is a joke. The customer service is seriously lacking. I have a victoria secret account with them. During covid I got behind. I called. I tried to work out payments but they said no. I tried to use the payment protection insurance I paid for, I was denied. They sold my debit to another company and didn't inform me. So then I get a garnishment judgment out of the blue. This place is a joke a scam and bad for you credit and life. Do not use them!! read more

Trying to phone these people to speak with a human. I have tried to contact them, to no avail, for the past 2 days, holding for 1.5 hrs on the longest wait. Made 5 attempts, holding for a minimum of 30 min. , then hanging up. I will pay my bill in full when I receive my next statement, then cut up my card, and never do business with this low class bank. I give them a MINUS star rating. And suggest avoid this bank. read more

DON'T DO BUSINESS WITH COMENITY. I don't really leave reviews unless I feel like it's something people should significantly know before doing business with the place. Due to the COVID-19 situation, I've been struggling to be financially current with my creditors, including several other major establishments, and also Comenity. After talking to the banks, they were able to waive late fees (some on more than one occasion) when I told them that I am gladly willing to pay once I can come up with the money, but it'd just be late. They understood. But Comenity? They weren't willing to waive a $29.00 late fee even when I showed intention to pay. They won't even really respond to their messages in the Secure Message center through their website. You have to call and even when you call, you feel like you're talking to a Telemarketer who just wants to get you on a deferred interest program to make money off you in the long run. Don't waste your time or invest with them. I'd give them -5 stars if I could. We need any assistance we can get during this pandemic and even with a good payment history, I can't be given a little pass. SAD. Can't wait to be done with them. I plan to pay off my card off soon, so if I get any more charges after I'm done or they give me problems, they better expect to hear from my attorney(s). I told you guys first, remember that. read more

After being approved for the PlayStation Visa credit card, they sent me temporary payment information to use in the PlayStation store to go ahead and complete my purchase. The security code included with the card information was 2 digits. When I tried to purchase my PlayStation on the PlayStation store today, my purchase would not go through because a 3 digit security code was required. After a whole morning of 5 or so phone calls, starting with PlayStation support and ending with Comenity support, a woman cheerfully (albeit unconcerned) told me "Oh. If the temporary card information does not work you will just need to wait until the physical card comes in." She didn't seem like it was any big deal or mess up and said there was nothing to be done on their end, but I should have a wonderful day! For me however, that means I now have to wait 10-14 business days to make a purchase that will ship in 4-5 days. That means the PlayStation that should be here this week will now likely be close to 3 weeks out. I already wish I did not apply for this card with this bank. read more

Our AAA visa cards were switched to Commenity and we have nothing but trouble. Made payment by electronic check that they said wasn't received, so made same payment by phone. The original check was cashed two months later. Made multiple calls to service center, on hold 1/2 hour on first call, lied to on second call (said refund would take 24-48 hours), no help from supervisor on third call( told that takes 7-10 business days.) Going to try corporate office next. Ready to cancel AAA card! read more

WORST BANK EVER? WARNING: Do not get suckered into putting your money in this bank because the interest rate you see TODAY may be lowered as much as TWICE over the next 10 calendar days and you CAN'T withdraw ANY of your money during that time! This is a FACT because they just did it to me! They suckered me with a 1.70% APY which was nations highest on 5/11. Over the next 10 days they lowered it to 1.55% and then 1.45% APY. FYI: They hold your money as prisoner for 10 BUSINESS DAYS on new accounts, which is actually up to 15 CALENDAR days due to weekends and holidays. read more

No one answers the phone. Their planned update "is longer than expected" and to call later!! Who runs a bank this way???? I am going to see about reporting these shenanigans. They apparently have nothing up and running so that people who have to pay their bill will be late so they can charge exorbitant fees for late payments. read more

I had a sephora credit card through comenity bank. Making my monthly payments was a nightmare because the app was poorly created. So I decided to close the account and pay the balance. 8 months later I'm checking my credit and see that my score dropped because they are charging finance fees. FRAUDULENT BUSINESS. I tried calling and the representive acted like she couldn't hear me when I asked about it then hung up on me read more

How I wish I had read the reviews here instead of on the Bankrate.com. Bankrate.com must be getting some under the table money to write a positive review on these incompetent people at Comenity. I'm now worried about ever getting my money back from these people. I had two CDs mature almost two weeks ago that were supposed to get disbursed to my savings account upon maturity. The funds are in limbo. They have a Credit Card side of the house that is hurting from Covid-19. I believe they are draining money from the banking side to keep afloat!! I have filed complaints with the FDIC and the Treasure Dept. Beware!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

I am writing this review to resonate with everyone else terrible experience and to express my extreme disappointment and concern regarding the services I have received from Comenity Bank over the past few months. At first I thought its probably just my case and there might have been some miss understanding but after some additional investigation I found out that Comenity bank has been doing this to everyone and I am surprised to see no one has taken legal action against them yet. Reading all these different stories it seems like the same exact scam and chain of events and get you locked into these fraudulent loans that you don't even need it and find out a few years later that you have already paid triple of your "loan" amount but you still have substantial. They exactly know what they are selling to customer and don't disclose all the stipulation that comes with these "loan"/"payment plan" programs. This is extremely unethical practice and they have an army of terrible people to make sure to ruin your credit score if you don't pay back or try to dispute. Extermly unpleasant experience with anyone I talked to on Comenity side and it seems like they have this model in place because they know they are running a scam. I have experienced the worst possible of customer service while working with them to understand the different unknown charges made on my account. On multiple occasions, I have encountered unhelpful and indifferent responses from your customer service representatives when trying to resolve various issues. The lack of empathy and timely resolution has left me frustrated and questioning the commitment of Comenity Bank to customer satisfaction. My primary concern, however, revolves around what appears to be fraudulent charges on my account. Despite bringing these fraudulent bank "fees" & "interest" to their attention, the process of investigating and rectifying these issues has been excruciatingly slow and inefficient. The delay in resolving such a critical matter has not only affected my trust in the bank but has also caused significant financial distress. Furthermore, the lack of transparency in communication regarding the status of my case and the steps being taken to address the fraudulent charges has added to my frustration. It is disheartening to feel left in the dark, especially when dealing with such serious matters that impact the security of my financial assets. In addition, their online portal is absolutely the worst, there is no option to dispute any charges and when you reach out to them via customer service number, they will waste your whole day without getting to any resolution. I am seriously surprised how they can legally get away with everything they have been doing to all these people. read more

Do yourself a favor and do not use this bank as a credit card. They offer jewelry companies to use them as a credit card. They will not tell you when you're going to be charged interest. I woke up to a $1600 interest charge and tried getting in contact. It kept getting later and later and finally got in touch with a supervisor that said it was basically too late for them to help out with anything. GUESS WHAT?!? TIME PASSES BUT YOU BEING RESPONSIVE WAS A FACTOR IN THIS. THEY TAKE FOREVER TO RESPOND THROUGH THEIR MESSAGING SERVICE. OBVIOUSLY IT'S GOING TO BE TOO LATE IF YOU RESPOND TOO LATE. Paying off this damn card and will never be using their service again. I hope they go bankrupt! read more

Paid off an account balance in full, according to their shitty website at least, 4 months later I get mail saying that I now owe $50 in late fees for unpaid balance. Attempts to reach out and get it straightened out because it's simply not true and there's literally no way to actually talk with someone. They goofed up their already garbage online systems and leave you with nothing but automated systems via phone that hang up on you after they say "we have online services you should use". So there's no way to actually get ahold of someone and this company is just scamming people off of fake account charges that lead to invalid late fees. read more

Screw this bank. Moved from California to Texas called personally and did an address change. Same day they shut down my Maurice's, Hot Topic, and Victoria Secret saying fraudulent activity. Asked me to send in a bunch of unnecessary documents which I did. And than I get a letter that they closed all 3 of my accounts. My VS card I had for 8 years. Your company is a bunch of idiots and don't know what a good customer is. I hope everyone that applies to this bank rips them off. Since they are so stupid to begin with. Couldn't even tell me why they cancelled my cards after I sent what they asked for. And than tells me I can reapply. Ummmm hell no you can suck a fat one Comenity. read more

If I could give Comenity Bank a negative 0 I would. I made a payment & they charged me for that payment 2Xs. They also only posted 1 of the payments to my account, but not the 2nd one. I never authorized a 2nd payment; why would I, when I had already paid my original payment on time. So, since their crappy website is STILL down & not working, I have called their customer care service several times, and nobody ever answers. All I get is same robot message saying, "we're sorry, all our representatives are still busy; please hold & someone will be with you; your call will be answered in the order in which it was received." Literally verbatim. Once a customer rep finally took my call, & after I explained the whole situation, she checked w/her supervisors who told her, that I needed to submit proof to help my dispute investigation. Really? They screwed up & I need to plead my case? Brutal. I think Comenity customers all need to contact the better business burea, & hold these folks accountable for their crappy service. I know I will be reporting them, & if necessary, sick my lawyer cousin on them. Horrible way to run a business. I NEVER have any problems with Capital One or Chase. read more

They will continue to drain, and finance charges your account without notifying you. They said they've sent me emails to tell me about my charges. I've checked my email and even phone calls every day and have not seen anything regarding late/finance charges. I've made a payment scheduled for that month, and they said since its new, they put a hundred dollars finance charge on my card. I called them to ask them to take it off since I've already made the payment, and they withdrew my money again a few days later. They will not try to dispute anything against the finance charge, except defer the amount, but I'll continue to get the finance charge for how many days/months my payment is deferred in addition to my remaining balance. They do not have a payment leniency policy if the customer pays a couple of days after unlike other big credit card companies. Which will allow late waived of late fees within 14-30 days after the payment is due. Because, why would they? They want your money! And its FREE money from yours to them, so why would they take it off those extra advantages? Make sure you be extra careful when applying with this bank company. Keep EXTRA care. I wouldn't recommend open any credit lines with them--lousy company's policy and customer service level. The executive administration should be change. read more

I have been trying to get a credit owed to me since June 2023. I cannot get beyond the masses of reps who sit at computer screens. Same result with a written dispute.

Regret applying the Victoria's Secret Angel Credit Card. Applied and approved immediately with a credit line of $750. It said the card would arrive within 7-10 business days, but I never received it in the next two months. During that two months, I called customer service multiple times to see what was going on. They said the card was already mailed out using USPS first class one week after approval. This was a lie. I never received it. Tried to have them resend it, but they said they had to close current account and opened a new account if resending. They explained in this case, there would be two Victoria's accounts in my credit report. One was closed one and another one was the new one. At the end of two months, called to close it because I never received and couldn't use it. If they resent, it could cost me more. Wasted a hard pull and ruined my credit! read more

I use the Orbitz Comenity card for points. It works ok in the USA but if you think your going to use it outside the USA DONT even think about it . It will fail almost every time. Sometimes you get the automated call but rather than deal with the transaction at hand, it goes through the last 5 transactions and wants you to approve ALL or decline ALL. This is crazy. Worse yet it gives you no option to speak with a human. The call also comes about 10 minutes later and by then you have given cash and are gone! If you call in to the number in mice print on your card the call seldom goes through. This bank is totally USELESS! read more
