Issue: Problem when making payments

Subissue: Problem during payment process

Consumer Complaint: To Whom it May Concern, DELL FINL SVCS XXXX XXXX incorrectly serviced my account, made it impossible to make payments, and will not remove the late payment mark from my credit history. A mark I could not have avoided due to their technical failures. In XXXX of XXXX, I tried calling the number listed on my mailed statement to pay my on my account to keep it current. The number listed was no longer in service. I then tried their web page, a representative told me I could not submit payments online for this account and I would have to send a check. I stated I had paid for years via the phone and they stated a change was made to these old accounts and they would only take a check. I tried in vain to find other numbers for Dell Financial Service that would answer questions about my account, but either found dead numbers or people who couldn't answer my questions. I sent a check to DFS on XX/XX/XXXX, past the posted date ( I had to order checks ) but not 60 days past. I received zero communication from DFS, only noticing in XXXX that my credit report was dinged for late payment on an account. Again all posted numbers in previous mailings I had received were dead lines. I called their headquarters several times until I got a human being who could accept my payment. They could not tell me what happened to the check, why the # 's posted and emails I had sent were unanswered, and when I asked if they could remove the late payment mark on my credit due to the circumstance, they said no one at Dell could do that. I then asked to escalate and was hung up on with XXXX resolution. The next month they sent a letter saying they had cleared my debt out, because my account was so old they could no longer service it. To summarize, I was able and willing to make payment on my debt. I made every good faith effort to contact them and pay on that debt on time, they never communicated a change in accepted payment method nor the deprecation of their payment/support line for my type of account. I mailed a check and they never responded with any issue or sent a letter of non-payment to say the check had not been processed. After finding a human that could take my payment, they still could not answer questions about my account. I feel like this mark on my credit history is extremely unfair and fear others may also be impacted with similar " older '' accounts.

I was asking them about my interest rates on a purchase and the agent said when I purchased a soda drink even though it was ( XXXX and some cents they charged me a XXXX interest rates on that XXXX item purchased for XXXX ) so I told him that's cheating and thief charging a ( XXXX interest rate when I just purchase a XXXX drink and he said that's how they do it and I told him that's a crime and fraud ) and after the criminal conversation I told him I can not have a card cheating and committing such criminal acts and fraud ) so I told him to close the account. Afterwards they send me a letter because I closed the account stating since I closed the account they will charge me a extra XXXX and some cents higher interest rates. And I contacted thier higher offices and told them I had to close the account because nobody told me if I purchase a soda or any other snacks at such a low price I will be charged ( XXXX and some cents charge for a XXXX or XXXX purchase then a XXXX and some cents interest rates on every purchase!!! That thief and fraud and robbing me and other card holders but the XXXX I'm the head offices still added a ( XXXX and interest rate after I told them what on XXXX XXXX and our loving father XXXX earth are they doing! Anyone would close such a fraudlet card. Tricking me and others into such a fraud and thief deals. They took the interest higher even though they are doing the stealing robbing cheating and fraud. Which Is a federal offence. Even though I was mislead about how they did interest rates. This is illegal and a crime and refused to lower it. Be blessed
