I applied for a credit card in XXXX with Sears at their location in XXXX XXXX, Maryland, address XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, MD XXXX. I used the card to make a small purchase because it provided a discount. The purchase left me with a balance of {$33.00} on the credit line. Because I used the credit line before the card was issued and mailed, I was not able to pay the balance right away, but ten days later I returned to the store and went through a store attendant to pay the balance on my card. I paid with {$40.00} in cash. I have recently received a statement in the mail claiming that my balance was never paid, and there is now a late charge of {$27.00} and a minimum interest charge of {$2.00} in addition to the remaining balance. In order to rectify this, I request that the Sears credit card company negate my owed balance and work with you to investigate the location. That address again is Sears, XXXX, XXXX, MD XXXX.
