I purchased a washer/dryre from Sears in XX/XX/XXXX. I made regular payments and was never late. In XX/XX/XXXX, I made a payment on the due date and was immediately turned over to collections. With the proof that the payment was not late, I contacted Citibank and demanded that their mistake be corrected. When I tried to make my next payment, I was unable to do so because a survey came up that demanded ansers to questions that had nothing to do with my online account. The survey requested a home phone number which I did not have and they had my cell phone number. I was locked out of my account. I had sent 20 emails, which I still have. They were all blocked and none of my calls were returned. I received no paper statements and when I tried to access my account, I was unable to do so. I then sent them a check for payment in full for the last balance I could access. My check was returned to me with no explanation. This account was then turned over to collections in XX/XX/XXXX. It did not say that it was for Sears and after many calls to different collection agencies I was refused the information as to what account this debt was originally for. I refused to give my private info and pay a debt when I could not get the name of the original creditor. This month I received another letter from XXXX XXXX with all of the information for this account and it was the first time I was told that it was from Sears. I paid the balance on this through the collection company which was less than the check I had sent to Sears 4 years ago. This is ridiculous and should never have gone to collections. I have since called citibank and they have said they have no record of this account. I have been put throuhg a huge hassle and had my credit negatively affected by their poor customer service practices. I still have every email and letter that I sent to them. They never tried to resolve this matter with me directly.
