I had just asked Home Depot to keep my account open. They said it would be closed since I had not used it very often. 
I made XXXX small purchase in XXXX 2015 on my Home Depot credit card. I did n't think anything about.I expected to get a statement in the mail and pay if off. Done. 

I did n't know there was a problem with the Home Depot credit card until it showed up in my online XXXX account. I had no idea that anything was wrong. It was reported that I had missed a payment and it was 30 days overdue. I was shocked to say the least. I paid the balance off as soon as I found out and setup an online Home Depot account. 

Home Depot said the monthly statements with the overdue amounts/notices/ overdue fees were sent to me via e-mail. I never received any of them. I did n't expect the Home Depot account to be paperless so the e-mails more than likely ended up in the spam folder. 

I do n't recall setting the Home Depot account to be paperless. I expected to receive a statement in the mail. They did n't do anything else to let me know the account was thirty days overdue. I did n't even receive a phone call or any other form of communications. NONE. 
Home Depot did n't think e-mail statements were a very good idea for me so they STOPPED my PAPERLESS e-mail statements and moved me over to paper statements. They did all of this without even asking me for my permission or what I would prefer. 

They finally send me a real, paper statement in the middle of XXXX 2015 for the purchase I made in XXXX 2015. 

It is too late to start sending paper statements. Home Depot should have done that months ago. I have never missed a payment in 41+ years of having credit. NEVER. NOT XXXX. Now my credit is destroyed. My FICO has dropped over XXXX points. There is something very, very wrong with this situation. 

I thought this was an isolated incident and was something specific to me. After a few XXXX searches, I am finding out that there are many, many other Home Depot credit card holders that have encountered ordeals very much like mine. 

I want this taken off my credit rating. If they had mailed me a statement like they were supposed to do this would never had happened. They did n't make a good faith effort to let me know the account was going to be overdue.
