The first statement I received from Home Depot covered a 16 day period commencing XXXX XXXX ( date opened and made first and only purchase ) and ending XXXX XXXX,2015 was received by me on about XXXX XXXX, 2015. Upon review of the terms, particularly the very high interest rate of 17..99 % I chose to immediately discontinue use of the credit card and notified Home Depot to close the account. So rather than paying the installment amount of {$25.00} I paid the full outstanding balance. This payment was received by Home Depot on XXXX XXXX,2015 representing payment in full. The following month I received a statement showing the payment in full and a late penalty charge of XXXX. 

I believe this charge is unfair and abusive. It appears to be justified by the fact that an installment payment {$25.00} was not paid by the due date of XXXX XXXX,2015, about 10 days after receipt of the first statement on the account. 

When I received my first statement I assumed, based on applicable regulations, I would have the normal XXXX weeks to make a payment before late charges could be assessed. And further since the statement revealed an excessively high interest rate I needed time to obtain funds to pay the account balance off immediately. Having made payment in full within 10 days of the receipt of the statement I believe the first late fee and interest charges are unfair and abusive, .and should be reversed. Multiple late fees charged as a result of unpaid first late fee charge are clearly unfair and should be reversed together with late delinquent interest charges
