Consumer Narrative
Around the end of XXXX- XXXX of XXXX, I contacted Home Depot Credit Services for resolution to defaulted account with a balance of around {$700.00} at the time. I was effected by job loss and covid displacement and informed I was entitled to programs which would help for each circumstance and phase out this bill and keep from collections and negative reporting of my credit. I was informed after forgiveness of late fees associated with the account was granted and the new balance was {$420.00}. I was told this is where the covid relief plan implemented that day would take of this and the account would be closed and no longer usable. For over a year I never received any info the account was active, at one point the account was removed and closed with {$0.00} balance on my credit report before XX/XX/XXXX where it now shows as a collection of {$800.00}. I spoke to Home Depot and they have record by voice recording of these proceedings but " have no way of forwarding this to me or the collection agency and it is out of their hands. '' Citi bank states to have had the collection for over a year but never sent out any correspondence when the account was sold the same month I had it resolved. Being told " it's too late '' to do anything should be against the law, the representative of their company should be held accountable not my credit. I have been unable to secure housing based on the negative effects of this on my report.
