My son & I purchased a piece of furniture under my name and credit in I believe May. We were told by the sales clerk there was a promotion, there would be no charges, finance etc. For 12 months. So we are thinking we have until at least April to pay it off. I made a payment of $100.00 which brought the balance down to $1,384.09. I never recieved a statement acknowledging payment. I think I received maybe three statements the first months after purchase. I did move in July and believe I did notify them of the address change as I make it a point to do so immeadiatly at the P.O. And all my creditors etc. I have received all my other mail regardless of where it was sent. They are telling me they sent staements, which I do not believe. March 12 I called the i-800-825-5153 as I wanted a statement. I was told my balance as of Jan was $17778.37. He rattled off the extra charges faster than I could write them. I requested to talk to a dispute clerk, She said she would take off 25% if I payed right then with my Checking account only. I told her I do not carry that amount in my checking account and would have to use my Visa. She said she could not accept Visa. WHY? (maybe because credit card company's will go to bat for you when need be) A check I probably would have no recoarse. You need to know this company went bankrupt a few months ago. I wonder why! I am about to send them a check for the amount that we contracted for minus the $100.00 payment and that will be my final contact.
