This actually started in XX/XX/XXXX with our call to the company but it is continuing now into XX/XX/XXXX. We called our Lowe 's credit card company, Synchrony Bank to check our balance and to pay off any balance. While we were on the phone we were told we did not have a balance. We used a credit card statement with XXXX balance to call them. Once we told them we owed the money and had a bill statement the credit card company rep told us again that we did n't owe any money. She had the account number given to her off the billing statement. We asked her to make sure she had the right account and to check all of our accounts because we wanted to make sure there was no mistake and that we had a XXXX balance moving forward. She said she checked all of the accounts and that XXXX card was closed and that there was no balance on any card. At that point let it go and took her word for it. After all, she was their rep and she had looked at all of our accounts. We thought that our bill pay at our bank had paid the last payment as planned and did n't worry about it any more. That is until we started getting calls about owning them money. We checked our credit scored and saw that they had now hit our credit score with at late payment. This lowered our score. I called the credit card company today and went over all of this with them. We asked them to pull the recorded conversation between my husband, myself and their agent. I talked with XXXX different people which also included a supervisor. They all said they did not have access to the recording and that we 'd have to contact the FCRA to get this fixed. My questions to them is this, why are we having to do all of this when it was them that made the mistake that caused all of these problems for us when all we wanted to do when we called was to make sure we owed nothing on the card? We feel like the credit card company is taking advantage of Lowe 's good customer through their mistake and it is unfair for their actions to cause these problems. Our credit was excellent. Now it is not. Credit card companies should be held responsible for their mistakes and the consequences that affect their customers. Should they not?
