“…but their employees are rude, condescending, call multiple times/day (not just you, the card holder, but your family members, too), and then make up excuses why they’re allowed to do this,…” ~Anna January 2017 The reps are unprofessional and some yell and interject. They need not to harass clients and threaten them about account going to an attorney. Being nasty isn’t going to make me pay any faster. The following are messages from users of the Victoria’s Secret Angel Credit Card who faced call harassment related to debt recovery. While it can be easy to get a credit card from the bank, it may not be as easy to bring the debt recovery process to a stop if you fall behind on your payments. The Angel credit card is backed by Comenity Bank, a company that offers several credit cards, including numerous store cards. However, like any other credit card, Victoria’s Secret Angel Credit Card can also leave consumers vulnerable to debt recovery related harassment calls. Apart from the Comenity Bank, other banks that offer store credit cards include Barclay’s and Bank of America. Like certain credit cards that give consumers rewards, this one also provides rewards such as sign up bonus, annual gifts, and fixed amounts on certain purchases. Unlike a Visa or Amex card, this is a store card and can be used only for purchases at the Victoria’s Secret store. My anxiety is clearly getting the best of me but I am just really scared.Victoria’s Secret offers customers the option to shop using the Comenity Bank Angel credit card. I am not a huge shopper of VS, I get bras like 1-2 times a year in batches of 2-4. I had no idea this was a credit card, VS even told me that she should have briefed me. I have never done something like this before. Have I screwed myself over? People open these Angels cards all the time, surely this isn't some colossal screw up.Īny advice, or directions on where to go from here would be great. I am really scared that I have fucked up my life by unknowingly getting this card. The options I have heard so far are:ġ) Close the card immediately and damage your creditĢ) Pay off the card (which I did immediately once I realized what had happened) and don't use it, which will damage your creditģ) Use the card and pay the bills on time each month and this won't damage your credit? I want to minimize damage being done to my credit. The card is with Comenity Bank I do not even know who that is. I am usually a very responsible person, never borrow money, have no loans, nothing like that. I have heard horror stories of bad credit ruining you for life, etc. I do not want a new credit card, I have no need for this VS credit card, I am scared shitless. I do take responsibility for being naive, but I am moving past that now.Īnyway, so I "signed up" for the card and she was like "Okay, here's all your new credit card info, it'll be shipped to you in a week." I was floored. Not once did she tell me what it truly is or explain to me all of the cons of it. As I have done that sort of thing before with zero consequences. I literally just thought it would be some type of points card, that is it. What happened: I went to VS to buy a couple of bras and at checkout the lady asked me if I wanted to take 15 dollars off by signing up for VS Angels. I have called Victoria's Secret's customer service line and got some somewhat helpful information, but I would also like to know where else to look. Please do be kind and respectful, though straight forward, as I am here to learn and would like some advice on my situation. My dad did originally set up the cards for me, so I have zero idea of what that all entailed. I am 20, I am in college, and currently have one credit card that I use for gas and food, and one debit card that I have a savings account with. Here, please treat others with respect, stay on-topic, and avoid self-promotion.Īlways do your own research before acting on any information or advice that you read on Reddit.įirst off, this is a throw away because I'm currently kind of scared shitless on all levels.
