In XXXX my husband and I received a flier for a special Sears Home Services was having for new windows + installation with approved credit and no interest financing for a period of time. We had done all of our research, had been pre-approved for the loan and were ready to buy the product. The saleswoman came to our house and spent THREE hours on the demonstration, even though we told her exactly what we wanted within the first 15 minutes of her arrival. It was after XXXX when she left and I had an 11 month, a young child, and I was pregnant and told her we just wanted to make it quick. She charged the approximately {$10000.00} to our Sears Credit Line. After she finally left, we were told the contractor would be in touch to schedule the work that week. We never heard from him and called him numerous times. ( XXXX of Sears selling points, btw, is that they use their own contractors - NO - they hire 3rd pary independent contractors. We called the sales woman back, customer service, anyone we could think of. Two months had passed XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX - I made payments in both of those months. By XXXX I called Sears and said I would n't make any more payments and that I wanted my money back. The customer service representative was very nice this time and said " let me see what I can do '' - that afternoon we heard from the contractor for the first time. He said he would be out the next week to measure our windows. He did n't come when he said so again we called him multiple times. He finally came later that week to measure and said the windows would be installed the following week. Again, two weeks went by with no calls and no response to my calls, so I called Sears again and said I would n't make a payment until I received my windows or I wanted my money back ( this was the end of XXXX - three months after the purchase - and I did not make a payment that month ). I did not make a payment in the month of XXXX either, though the contractor did come back and say he ordered the wrong windows so it would be another few weeks. Our windows were finally installed in XXXX - 6 months after purchase - they ruined some of the walls around the windows and made a huge mess with the installation, but at least we finally had the windows. I did make payments that XXXX and was never late again. I have requested multiple times that Sears have the derogatory remarks removed from my credit report - they held me and my money hostage and of all of the accounts I have, I have no other late payments. I am trying to refinance my house right now and this is affecting me negatively. Please do what you can to help me have these XXXX late payments from XXXX removed from my credit reports. Thank you for helping me.
