Hello, My husband and I did a balance transfer to pay off our Home Depot card and we thought we had paid it off but there was a {$68.00} balance. We use to receive paper bills but somehow they stopped so we assumed it was paid in full. I checked my credit report a couple months after because I am in the process of getting pre-approved to buy my own place ( My husband and I are getting divorced ) and could n't understand why my credit score went from XXXX to XXXX and saw that Home Depot has reported us 2 months past due! I was so upset! I called Experian and they let me know only Home Depot could only fix it. We 've been cardholders for over 10 years, and have never been late on payments. 
I called Home Depot they told me we had switched to e-statements to my husbands email address ( he never received them ) which we do n't recall doing. They said I could send a letter of explanation along with my full credit to their dispute department. Only to be rejected 5 weeks later stating that it was true and accurate information that I was late for the the payments. I let them know my husband and I are in the process of going through a divorce and my future depended on my good credit so I am able to buy my own place for my XXXX kids and myself. I am so furious that they wo n't even take into consideration our excellent credit standing with them or the circumstances behind it. How could we pay the {$68.00} balance when we had no idea it was due and they charged us several late fees on top of the small balance. We had paid them {$4400.00} via a balance transfer, what would make them them think we 'd be late on purpose to pay the remaining small amount we owed? 
I am hoping you can please help me get these negative marks off of our credit. It is so disappointing. They also lowered our credit limit from {$5000.00} to {$500.00}. 
I will never use their card again if they do n't adjust the negative marks! They clearly do n't value good customers. 
I 've attached a letter I sent to Home Depot to dispute our account. I am hoping you are able to help me. Thank you in advance for your help. 

Kind Regards, XXXX XXXX XXXX
