Re: Comenity Stalling Drama

My Overstock has never reported anything other than the initial credit line. Of course, that might be because I've never used it. Smiley LOL

Yeah their doing it again.

 

It's been a few months since i last ordered anything thru Overstock. Well this month they didn't report in the week they normally do OR the week after. This is a classic tactic Comenity uses to force a PUSH to use that card. I guess i can see their point. They have agreements with certain many retailers and they want a steady useage flow and when you go something like 90 days without a purchase/sale (at least on my Overstock) they withhold reporting after that month or months until a new useage triggers.

 

Interesting concept i have to admit. I since made some new purchases to get the reporting back on track again,

 

What drama Smiley Very Happy


I'm not sure that I understand.  Is it a concern because you have received CLI and it's not reporting for non usage?   If that is the case, yes I can related, they want some activity.  But if your CL hasn't changed and they aren't generating a statement due to no activity, your credit line is still valid and recognized/counted by the bureaus.  Thanks!

I'm closing iconfort tomorrow. Granted I was using them a little bit just a little bit for some padding which when I SCT it earlier this year. And padding I don't need anymore and this card is definitely not one u will whimsically use. I got ripped off on buying a pillow they were selling for like 160 and I found it at SAMs for 40 dolllars and Amazon too.

100% CORRECT!

 

I was going off my EQ reports when i opened this topic about it not reporting.

 

Well turns out today i pulled Experian and low and behold Comenity Overstock DID INDEED REPORT on Oct 12 which is the usual reporting date. So it seems it wasn't Comenity after all but the EQUIFAX is not updating the reporting or whatever.

 

Thanks bodyboy1 for touching on this topic with your own experience. Either Comenity skipped reporting to EQ or else EQ is the slacker.

 

I tend to lean toward the ladder because on further review there were other of my cards that also are not showing reporting to EQ this month.

Re: Comenity Stalling Drama

I just had my iComfort report about 2 weeks ago, and I opened it in March, made a purchase, and took 2 months to pay it off.  They are reporting 2 months of payments, and my most recent CLI, just took them forever.

I seriously doubt there is a one-size-fits-all reason for Comenity's terrible updating, and what may be true for one person isn't necessarily correct for another. 

 

Comenity hasn't updated my Overstock limit since June 11th, 2015. I'll dance naked in the street if it's a EQ/EX/TU issue.

Wow, that was hard to read...

 

I stand by my statements. My Comenity (and Comenity alone) accounts do not update with ALL THREE bureaus, not just one. I have several accounts that do not update without active usage, on all three bureaus. iComfort hasn't updated since May 27th.

 

So you can say it's the bureaus, but clearly it's not.
