Consumer Narrative
In XXXX of 2021, I received a bill from Victoria Secret ( commenity bank ) for charges that I did not make and I did not receive. They started an " investigation '' and in XXXX they sent me a letter stating that the charges were going to remain on my account. Whenever I call them, their agents will either hang up or transfer me when I ask for their names. I am trying to refinance my house and I once again disputed the charges. Their " investigation '' that XXXX from the fraud department stated, " was done by the FBI and showed that I received the products and they were not going to remove the charges from my account. '' XXXX also claimed that " the FBI took photos of me wearing the clothes that I was disputing. '' I do not believe that the FBI investigates anything for commenity bank and Victoria 's Secret. They have since reported the account closed but didn't report that the account was paid in full. It shows a balance of XXXX. XXXX stated that because they closed the account, I can not claim fraud and have my money returned to me. The fraud was reported in XXXX and they waited until XXXX to close the account after I had made the payment and their reason was because I reported the transaction as fraud. XXXX then stated that my voice sounded too feminine and so she was flagging my account and wouldn't answer any more questions. She then asked me if I had any other questions that she would refuse to answer. XXXX was laughing and stated that I would just have to live with whatever they decided to do to me and that she could ruin my life if she wanted to. They are refusing to report my account as paid in full and stated that they would report the payment whenever they felt like it and XXXX stated that she was going to report my entire credit history as fraudulent and that I would never get a loan or be able to refinance my home. The money has been taken from my account to pay this bill and XXXX also stated that they could report the charges on the account indefinitely and there was nothing that I could do about it.
