I purchased three items of clothing from Macy 's Department store in XX/XX/XXXX for {$87.00}. My account was set-up with electronic billing. Macys redesigned their website XX/XX/2015 and erased all of their previous electronic billing data. They subsequently never billed me nor did they make any attempt to collect the debt from me, or even contact me regarding the debt. I have subsequently incurred late fees and interest increasing the debt in four months to {$230.00}. I discovered the delinquent debt when applying for a mortgage refinance and discovered my credit score has dropped from over XXXX to XXXX. I have paid the {$230.00} debt, however I feel that Macys has acted in bad faith with regards to the imposition of late fees and charges given that my electronic billing arrangement worked well previous to their deletion of my information. While responsible for the underlying debt, I am unhappy that Macys felt they could delete my account and then charge me heavily for the action. Of more concern is the damage to my credit score. Their action could ultimately cost me thousands of dollars in increased interest due to the damage to my credit score. Prior to this incident, I had never been late on a payment in my entire life.
